It’s been a lazy week but now my procrastination has set me up with a brutal weekend. Whimpers. I didn’t do much actual writing (I lie but it was all for a fanfic novel I started 15 years ago and was challenged to finish so by god, that Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel the Series crossover is FINISHED)
Still with the ghost evidence perusal in These Haunted Hills. Pretty soon I’m going to change it up and start snippeting my upcoming release.
As Brendan poured more fruit of the vine, Josh set up the recorder. He always hated the sound of his voice on recording but was there anyone who didn’t? There was nothing but the sounds of him asking questions and his and Brendan’s footsteps for a few minutes. Between questions while they were in the bedroom a faint voice sounded. He and Brendan sat up straighter in near unison.
“Did you hear that?” Brendan asked even as Josh was rewinding it.
“Listen close,” he instructed then stabbed play.
Clear as the call of a night bird, they heard a woman’s voice say ‘Help, Dorothy!’
Brendan grabbed Josh’s wrist, his fingers trembling. “I have chills!’
Josh held out his other arm, showing off goosebumps. “Tell me about it. Wow, we have a name. Have you come across a Dorothy in the research?”
“Not yet. You?”
“No.”

Intriguing!
Great minds obsess alike. I’ve been fixated the past week by Witchblade/Angel fanfic ideas where Kate Lockley is a lost blood heir to the Witchblade, sharing visions with her secret sister, Sara. When LaCroix from Forever Knight isn’t showing up in Kenneth Irons’s loft, trying to get him to accept a better form of immortality than Witchblade wielder leftovers. Go figure. 🙂

I’ve got ‘Fools for Love’, the LaCroix/Irons story posted at https://archiveofourown.org/works/15900810
The Great Sara and Kate Sismance is trickling out in chunks…I’ve got to start to posting them, yet they’ve appearing in a non-linear form the Witchblade itself would be proud of…I need to let people know on other mediums besides Archive of Our Own whenever I post a fanfic. (wry grin)

So, who’s Dorothy and who is calling to her for help? And why?

They do not know but assume she was murdered there. (also I had forgotten this part so yeah at some point I need to share their research into the hotel and if they find a Dorothy)

Well done on finishing the fanfic!
