It's evening here in Berlin and I am just scribbling out my very first ever attempt at fan-fic, a glimpse at a story continuation for our two sweethearts of course, with a prequel stuck on for good measure, or maybe they're the same story doing a sort of temporal donut? (because I couldn't help myself, is why, especially after your latest sweet e-letter to me). Hang on a sec ... *Gasp* it's six in the morning and I have to work today!
The important bits are highlighted in bold. This is the actual Arthur & Bertie episode, after they return from their honeymoon and move in together, (ok, that still needs to get written by someone ... I suggest a lavish cruise to exotic places ... oh, and the wedding ceremony of course ... ), and during the time period that the egg appears. The scene ends with a weird thing happening to Arthur while apparently napping, that completely derails Bertie when he happens to pass by the sofa.
But because they are bits only, and seemed at least to get a little better as I went along, so that they didn't quite fit together in style or mode, I had the bad idea (which is why it it is 6:40 am now) to frame them in a silly meta-story (with some meta-meta-jokes, yikes!) about a future researcher who may be a descendant of the egg, trying to uncover the legendary, lost Second Book of the Arthur and Bertie legend.
Apparently about 3300 years from now, the Albertian's official spirituality is the Church of New Pendragon, its first and principal prophet usually simply known as the Author (who wrote The Book), though she does have a name. But it turns out there was another, much older prophecy ...
I've stuck it HERE (http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1227791-being-s-fanfic) in my GR group for now, if anyone is interested/curious/insanely bored (warning: no editing, very little proofreading, and proudly features a complete lack of literary qualities, plus I didn't even bother to re-read the book to get the tone or characters right ... I couldn't, I just had to WRITE something!)
