A Change of Scene:
Heyes and the Kid decide to disobey the call sheet and enjoy a little change of scene...
Arcadia
Heyes romance. Or should that be an unashamed - or at any rate, only mildly blushing - Mary-Sue. This will (eventually) need a couple of quiet evenings and a nice chilled chardonney.
Caught in the Web:
Just a piece of nonsense involving bath tubs! Under five thousand words, perfect for a coffee break. Warning - contains scenes of gratuitous chocolate consumption!
Christmas Past, Christmas Present:
Sometimes even the best dreams are bittersweet.
Do You Have What It Takes?At last, the ex-outlaw appreciation society has devised the perfect test to discover: "Do you have what it takes to be an ASJ fanfic heroine?” Shouldn't take more than a quick coffee break - but you will need a sharp pencil. (NB: No offence intended to any ASJ heroine, nor to their writers. We only tease what we’re fond of, huh? And, besides, I am fully aware a well known phrase about ‘pots and kettles’ utterly applies.)
Just What They Always Wanted:
More nonsense from the ladies of the ex-outlaw appreciation society. Warning - contains gratuitous use of garamans. Delightfully digestable at around 700 words
Lies of Omission:
A possible sequel to ‘From Dawn to Darkness’ (with kind permission of Grace R Williams). News of the boys’ amnesty causes Ann to think over her decision to leave Kid Curry…and second chances…
Local Conditions:
Heyes and Curry find work showing a party of Eastern dudes a little of the Wild West. Springing cougars, a saloon room brawl and the most civilised jail break you could hope to read! Twenty thousand words, would just about fit in a decent lunch hour.
Much Ado About Robbing:
Warning: gratuitous tub scene; gratuitous use of pig's bladder; gratuitous blank verse. In fact - just plain and simple gratuitous nonsense. But nice and short! Enjoy in a quick coffee break.
Not Another ASJ Fourth of July Story!
Heyes comes up with a solution to writer’s block. Kid suspects he is incidental to the plot. Contains so much use of gratuitous tub scenes it’s almost embarrassing. At c. 1,500 words, ideal for a relaxed coffee break.
Not Like It Is In The Dime Novels
Heyes and Curry meet a Dime Novel authoress - can they live up to the heroes in her books? This one has everything; hissable villains, sizzling safe-cracking, Heyes in the hay and a fine Cuban cigar for Kid! Grew beyond 'quick read' - needs a quiet evening and a chilled glass of fizz.
Old Acquaintance
Someone from Hannibal Heyes past gives a glimpse of what might have been.
One Last Time:
A little something which arose out of a 'Missing Scene' story challenge. Just over 2,000 words - so perfect with a nice cup of tea/coffee and a dippy biscuit next time you take a short break.
Perfectly Safe:
Kid is getting himself all steamed up. Yet more gratuitous silliness. At 1300 words another one perfectfor a quick 'waiting for kettle to boil' break...
Professional Secrets:
During an eventful train journey, a young boy learns a few tricks of the trade from Hannibal Heyes. About five thousand words - perfect for a coffee break!
Safe In Their Hands:
Heyes yields to the temptation of cracking one last safe. Meanwhile, the other fella is cuffed, nekkid and helpless, to a bedstead. I spoil you Kidettes, I really do! A light-hearted romp which re-introduces us to a couple of old, old friends and, to the most unsquashable of "heroines". Author's note: No pigs were harmed in the writing of this story. The same, alas, cannot be said of the lobsters.
Something In Common:
Hannibal and Jedediah meet for the first time. Just gratuitous silliness which arose out of a 'challenge'. Delightfully short at 700 words.A 'ficlet' to enjoywhile waiting for the photocopier to warm up!
Strangeness on a Train:
A little late for Halloween, but - dim the lamps, let the firelight flicker, put on the eerie music and prepare to be chilled as Heyes and Kid encounter - Strangeness on a Train…
The ASJ Fanfic Checklists:
No more fretful chewing your pencil!
No more disconsolate drooping over your keyboard!
Simply ensure your stories comply with these few fail-safe rules – and you can dismiss any fear of disappointing reader expectations forever.
The Choice:
A young Hannibal and Jed face a decision. Will the choice they make be the right one? About 3,000 words - long coffee break / short lunch break length.
(NB: Trying my hand at ‘not funny’ in this one.)
Them Thar Hills Are Alive...
Them Thar Hills Are Alive With the Sound of The Great Escape Using the Bridge Over the Rio Grande
This story has to be approached in the correct post-Christmas mood. The mood brought on by over indulgence in food and drink, when slumped in front of the telly. Nice and short (will fit in a coffee break). Settle back in your seats for ... drum roll...
'Tis The Season To Be Silly!
Now gals - what would you really like to find slipped in your stocking? Warning: Contains use of jokes so old they elicited groans even back in the 1880s. Merry Christmas everyone.
