Just in case you're wondering, here's the list of songs I used as chapter intros:
  1. "Intro" from the Sleepy Hollow soundtrack by Danny Elfman (though it's not actually stated in the story; I just added this to my Spotify playlist to fill the Chapter 1 space because it's cool and it seems to set the mood for the intro chapter)

A note on "Carols of Christmas"

I'm almost done with Chapter 23. I think there are a few loose ends I want to tie up before I post it, but it could work the way it is now. I'm still deciding.

Script Frenzy update

I have 14 pages done, if you can't really see what my widget says.

So, I did it...

I finally wrote the story I've been considering for a long time... It's the one that's an epilogue to the Psycho series, where Norman finds a note from Maureen in the Bates Motel after burning down his old house.
Check it out on my page now! It's called "Almost."

Newest version of my survey

All right, I'll admit I did quite a bit of editing to this. I deleted the old version and revamped it to just use the questions about the stories I already have finished or in-progress.
