AN for Chapter 75

This chapter is pretty long, so I'll do a short(er) AN. 

If you've been reading Culture Aftershock, John posted the last chapter of the story (Chapter 56) last weekend. He also announced that he will soon start posting the follow up - Culture Karma. It's a must read for anyone who wants to see what happens to the sadistic psychopath we love to hate: James Visser

Big thanks to John who continues to collaborate with me on the E&O 'verse stories and whose advice is invaluable for every chapter. A shout out to Natalie, whom I actually got to meet this summer (YAY!). Life is throwing her a bit of a curve ball right now, but I know she can still hit that mother right out of the park (yes, that's a baseball analogy - we're in the midst of Cubs mania in Chicago). Shout outs to Pauline and Eli too. I know I'm terrible at keeping in touch sometimes, so I'm really grateful for you sticking with me and putting up with my disappearing acts. And, as always, huge thanks to all of you who keep reading and are apparently sticking with the story to the end. I promise, we're almost there!

I hope you enjoy this chapter. I love comments, so please leave them if you have time on blogger (save them before you post, just in case Blogger feels like causing errors) or via twitter or e-mail. Happy reading!

AN for Chapter 74

As promised, here's the next chapter for your reading enjoyment. 

If you've been reading Culture Aftershock, this chapter covers events in Chapters 53-55 of Culture Aftrershock. John will post Chapter 55 today (if he hasn't done so already) and that chapter will cover the boys' dinner which is only alluded to in here. So if you want the full details, you need to read them over in CAS. 

Because of my eagerness to get the story to you as quickly as I can, I'm no longer asking Natalie to review these chapters prior to publication, which means they are more likely to be error-ridden. My apologies in advance. 

All my love to Natalie, Eli, Pauline and John, for their continuous support and advice, and love to everyone who keeps reading what may be the longest fan-fiction story, in time from first posting to last, if not in words (Believe it or not, there are actually fanfiction stories that are longer in word count than Errors. Not many, but some).

I hope you enjoy this chapter. As usual, probably more details than you needed, but no one can say you don't have an insight into every aspect of Jasper and Edward's future :) If you have time, I'd love to know your thoughts, in the comments (save them before you post, just in case Blogger feels like causing errors) or via twitter or e-mail. Happy reading!

AN for Errors Chapter 73

Happy (almost) Summer!

I know it's been way too long, as usual, since I posted. The good news is the next chapter has been written already and all it needs is an edit. What that means is that there may very well be another chapter of Errors plus a new chapter of Culture Aftershock posted for you this weekend. Yay! 

If you've been reading Culture Aftershock, you may want to go back to re-read chapters 50-53, which correspond to the events in this chapter but provide more detail from the point of view of the other boys. The next chapter of Errors will cover events in Chapter 54-55 of Culture Aftrershock (with Chapter 55 to be posted on the same day as Errors 74, so there will be lots of new material for everyone to read).

Because of my eagerness to get the story to you as quickly as I can, I'm no longer asking Natalie to review these prior to publication, which means they are more likely to be error-ridden. My apologies in advance. 

All my love to Natalie, Eli, Pauline and John, for their continuous support and advice, and a big thanks to all readers who share their thoughts via comments and twitter. An especially big thank you to the tweeps who respond to my random questions about the future of Errors. I am contemplating scrubbing and publishing the story, but the idea of editing this monster of a series is daunting, so I'll probably chicken out. Still, I thank those of you who responded so positively to the idea. 

I can't thank you all enough for caring about the boys and continuing to read their story through all my delays, and then still being so encouraging of the undoubtedly frustrating author! I really love you all. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Edward's a little rambly and includes too much detail, as always, but that'st the only way he'll share his story, so there it is. Happy reading! http://errorsandomissionsbyohjaspermyjasper.blogspot.com/2011/10/chapter-73.html

p.s. Just a reminder, blogger will sometimes "eat' your comments without posting them. The best practice may be to save the text before hitting the publish comment button, just in case, so you can try again without having to retype it all. you can always send comments to me via email at ohjaspermyjasper at gmail dot com.  

Happy New Year and Chapter 72 is up!

Happy 2015 everyone!

Another year, another chapter and getting that much closer to the end. This is coming to you hot off the proverbial keyboard, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes.

A lot of you have asked how many more chapters I plan to write, and right now I think about three to four. If you've been reading John's Culture Aftershock, you had a bit of a preview of what happens in this story, since he is a little ahead of me in the timeline. If you haven't been reading it, you may want to read at least the latest several chapters, as he has covered some things which may be alluded to in Errors, but will not be covered in detail.

As always, I want to thank Natalie, Eli, Pauline and, most of all, John, for all their help and support, and a huge thanks to all the readers! I haven't had a chance to reply to the comments left on the last chapter, but many of you identified the same things as surprising you as had surprised me. It's actually quite fun for me to write this story, thinking that I know exactly how it's gonna go, and then have Edward throw me curve balls, even this close to the end. Fortunately they're nothing I can handle, so not too frustrating :).

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter even if it's not quite as "action-packed" as some. I know blogger is frustrating and often messes up when you try to leave comments, so if you want to tell me what you think I'd recommend copying the text before you hit the post button just in case, and if blogger "eats" your text, just e-mail it to me at ohjaspermyjasper at gmail.com. You can also always contact me on twitter @ojmjff.

Thank you so much for sticking with me and the boys and happy reading! http://errorsandomissionsbyohjaspermyjasper.blogspot.com/2011/10/chapter-72.html

Love,

Liz

p.s. I know the e-mail subscription service sometimes does not send out updates about new posts. I wish there was something I could do to fix it, but I'm stuck with the services google provides. Maybe if I was better at this technology stuff I could fix it but, alas, I definitely am not. :( I'm very, very sorry.

Author's note for Chapter 71

Author’s Note: Okay, this is quick and dirty because I wanted to post this weekend and I’ll be busy all day today. So this chapter will move to its rightful place eventually (probably on Monday) but for now here it is.

Huge thanks to my beta, Natalie, for reviewing the chapter, as well as to my friends Eli, Maureen and Pauline and, of course, John, and all the readers for continuing to encourage and inspire me. The biggest payoff of this writing journey has been meeting all of you – whether virtually or in person – and I’m not just speaking for me when I say that but for Edward too, because he knows his story would never be told without you all

Not a lot else to say this time, except to note that you may notice that in this chapter I spelled Peter’s nickname “Ros” instead of “Ross,” as I had previously. This is not a mistake. In the past, when Edward thought that the name of Jasper’s roommate was Ross. However, when Jasper explained that it was a shortened version of Petros, Edward readjusted his POV to reflect that, and I adjusted the spelling to demonstrate this. It’s not a huge deal and I probably just should have stuck with Ross but that wasn’t what Edward was telling me, so…yeah. Yes, I am a puppet for my characters to do with what they will J

The link to the disclaimer is in the right hand column. Please click on it if you haven’t read it before.

Enjoy and if you’re so inclined I’d love to know what you thought of this chapter. I can tell you that a couple of things were a surprise to me, but I won’t reveal what they were so as not to spoil things.

p.s. (Edited Jan 3, 2015) Chapter 71 has been moved to its proper place. The next chapter will be posted later today.

Chapter 70 of Errors is up!

This chapter is coming to you hot off the press, which means I didn't have time to send it to my wonderful Beta. My apologies in advance for the inevitable errors. I did try to weed out some myself, but I've never been a great proofreader, especially of my own work. Hopefully, you can ignore the mistakes in favor of the story.

This is a pretty pivotal chapter for Edward and Jasper, and one that may surprise you. I hope it won't be an unpleasant surprise, but if it is I would ask that you keep an open mind and see where the story goes. There are only a few chapters left until the wrap-up, and I will write them as quickly as I can. Not sure if I'll meet the end of the year timeframe, but I sure as heck will try.

There will be  a small time-jump from the end of this chapter to the next, and if you're curious to see what happens during this time jump I would strongly recommend reading the Culture Aftershock chapter that John will post today. Chronologically, Errors 70 comes first, and Culture Aftershock 49 comes immediately thereafter. Well, technically Culture Aftershock 48 is the start of immediately thereafter, as that chapter describes the hearing that Edward refers to in Errors 70, so if you haven't read that chapter yet you may wish to. But regardless, I would strongly suggest reading Culture Aftershock 49 before you go on to read Errors 71 when that becomes available. 

And speaking of available, you may recall last time I told you about John's erotic short story that features a fun, supernatural take on John's original characters who happen to reside in the E&O verse. The story is now available and, as promised, here is the link: Spunk Craving Zombies  

If you're thinking that erotica and zombies don't go together, let me ease your mind. These are not the typical decaying, brain seeking zombies. The zombies do have a one-track mind, though, and John packed lots of sexytimes into his short story. He's offering it at an introductory price of only $0.99 right now and it's also available for free to subscribers of Kindle Unlimited, so do check it out!

As always, thank you so much to my loyal readers and to Natalie, my awesome Beta whom I unfortunately had to leave out of the process in order to bring you this chapter sooner. And obviously a huge thanks to John, who had enriched the E&O universe and my life so much. I couldn't imagine writing this story without him. Big, tight hugs to you all!

Okay, enough yapping. Here's the link to Errors Chapter 70.

Happy Reading!

Love, Liz

p.s. just in case I don't post another chapter until then, both John and I are registered for the Gay Rom Lit retreat in October. If any of you are going, let us know. It would be great to say hello in person :).

Chapter 69 of Errors & Omissions is up!

My apologies for yet another long delay between chapters. My new position at work is much more demanding than my last, which leaves little time or energy for writing. To top that off, we seem to have had a spring full of various family obligations that further reduce time and energy. Fortunately, I've been blessed with a very understanding hubby and I think things might change for the better in the next few months. That's all I'll say for now - don't want to jinx anything - but let's just say I'm still hopeful I can finish writing Errors in 2014.

So this chapter took so long to write that when I was done I just wanted to post it, and it was much too long to drop on my Beta and expect a quick turnaround. Therefore, it's presented to you hot off the presses and raw (as in pretty much unedited except for a run of spell check). I apologize in advance for the length and for any mistakes, but at this point I figured it was better to post than to wait.

A portion of this chapter features a couple of characters that I'm using courtesy of another fan fiction writer who dropped out of the Twilight slash fan fic scene quite a while ago. She had given her permission for the use of her characters and she had even read a very early version of a part of this chapter. The storyline has since changed so that part of the chapter was largely re-written, but the kernel of the original is still there. So I just want to say, Thanks, Christie!, for writing an awesome story and letting me borrow your guys and mold them somewhat to fit Errors.

If you want to read a little more about the Halloween party that features in this chapter, you should know that John posted a new chapter of Culture Aftershock today. Today's chapter, Chapter 47, is actually part 2 of Culture Aftershock's description of the Halloween party. To read the whole thing start with Chapter 46.

Also, I'm really excited to tell you that John has written a sort of supernatural version of a scene you get a glimpse of in this chapter of Errors. It's an erotic short story and a different, fun take on John's original characters who happen to reside in the E&O verse. John will self-publish it on Amazon soon, and I will have a link here as soon as it's available!

Last but not least, I want to give my thanks to you, the readers, whose continued encouragement keep me writing, and also to Natalie, whom I didn't give a chance to Beta this chapter but who would have done a wonderful job given the opportunity, and to John, who keeps me sane thought our daily collaboration. I love you all!

Okay, now without further ado, here's the link to Errors Chapter 69.

Happy Reading!

Love, Liz
