Rules and fandoms!
So, I was planning a sequel to Strangers, but I needed to make minor changes to it. Well, those minor changes have become "practically re-write the whole fic". So, given that Strangers is posted on AO3 as a complete fic right now, when I finish the re-write, should I just replace the chapters on the existing version, or should I just take the old version down and upload the new?
When re-writing a fic on AO3, would you rather the author:
Replace the existing chapters
Take down the old fic and post the new as a separate fic
Keep the old one, but post the new one as part of the series
Claire counted out the cash slowly, carefully lining up every bill on the counter before moving on to the next. Since I’d seen her count considerably more in half the time, I knew she was just doing it to make me late. She was succeeding. The bus had already come and gone before she’d gotten halfway, and I could smell the oily satisfaction oozing off her.
Heartless bitch.
She’d be happy soon, anyway. With tonight’s tips, I’d finally saved enough to move on. Granted not very far, but I’d at least make it out of this shithole of a town. Might even make it to a decent sized city. Granted, that would be suicide for me, but Claire didn’t need to know that.
Claire finally finished counting my pay and handed it over with a grin as fake as her eyebrows.
“If you come back tomorrow, I’m sure we can fit you in again.”
“Don’t worry about me, Claire. I’m moving on tonight.”
She looked surprised. It didn’t smell feigned. “Really? Well, good luck, wherever your travels take you next, Fox.”
I did get that ask, and I’m working on it (albeit very very slowly). Life and my MS are kicking my ass a bit at the moment. I’m working on a few fics as well as some original content.
I’m still around, just slow and distracted, sorry.

Full disclosure: I’m not doing this because I’m currently starving, or about to be evicted, or whatever. I’m trying to save up a stupid amount of money to go on a once-in-a-lifetime cruise, hopefully before my health deteriorates to the point I can’t go. Current goal is $105,000. All payments from this commission drive will go toward that end goal (and yes, I will be posting pictures and video)
Trying to decide which opening scene I like better
I had an idea for a stupid Fallout 4 thing (mostly because I have Issues with the framework) and this was my attempt to Fix It.
Below the cut for length.
Version 1:
I took a deep breath as I paused outside the bathroom door. I could hear Nate inside, practicing his speech in the mirror, something about the glory of war or some such. I shoved down the fear and plastered a smile on my face. Once he left for the veteran’s hall, I would have a few precious hours to escape. I just had to keep him from noticing. My bags were already out, safely tucked away in Jahani’s bolthole, and I owed him more than I could ever repay for helping me with that.
“You’re going to knock them dead tonight, honey,” I told him as I came up behind him.
I made sure he could see me coming up in the mirror before I spoke. The last black eye was still a deep purple from the last time I’d ‘surprised’ him. I spared a brief glance at my reflection and placed my hand on his arm. Nate studied me for a moment.
“You look like shit.”
He shoved past me into the living room, leaving me to my devices in the bathroom. I fished out the makeup from its hidey-hole behind the toilet and went about making myself presentable for Nate. The makeup needed to be hidden, because Nate didn’t like me wearing it, but I needed it to hide the bruises. I styled my hair in the way he liked, a complicated updo that he said made me look feminine. Personally, I would have preferred a simple tail, but he would have dragged me around by it if I’d tried. He’d done it before.
I took a breath and headed into th kitchen. Nate was settled on the couch, watching some comedy as I walked in. He glanced over at me then back to the screen.
It’s more of a straight copy of the character creation scene, and goes on into Nate meeting the Vault-Tec rep and blah blah blah. Pretty much follows the opening of the game.
Version 2:
I woke, as was usual, just after dawn. Nate rolled over, grumbling, as I climbed out of the bed. I had a few precious minutes to prepare myself for the day, before Nate awoke, but I still checked on Shaun, brushing my fingers over his cornsilk hair as he stirred.
“We’re gonna be okay, sport. I promise. I won’t let him touch you.”
I slipped down the hall to the bathroom, doing my hair and makeup with the ease of long practice. It was stupid, but Nate liked knowing I was presentable at all times he could see me. Nate had ensured I would learn his tastes after the wedding, and some of those lessons had left scars. Once I was finished, I carefully tucked the makeup into its waterproof bag and placed it back in the toilet tank. One of Nate’s preferences was believing that I never used makeup. He had only hit my face a few times, so it was simple enough to pretend. Easier, too. He didn’t appreciate it when I forced him to see the truth, whether deliberately, or by accident.
Honestly, I kinda like this better. It gives a clearer picture in my mind.
