This is my original universe (okay, currently my only universe, but there are other ideas on the back burners). Beginning on the day that Trixie, Honey, and Diana graduate from high school, it blends traditional and non-traditional elements.
If you don't like non-traditional pairings, this may not be the fanfiction world for you. Just don't blame me if you miss out on a great story! (wink) The stories these characters have told (and are telling) me lead down many varied and fascinating roads. Anything can happen and you should be prepared for anything. This is not a work of art hanging on a museum wall...things change, people change, life happens. This is not a 30-min. sitcom or a 60-min. drama...it's life. You can expect humor, drama, joy, tragedy, silliness, serious issues, etc. Just like real life. These stories take years and years to unfold; choices made and Roads Not Taken affect people's lives, for better and for worse, with the thread of friendship running through and holding them all together.
And just when you're settled and comfortable in this world, that's when forks will appear in the road...
The "chapter" designations are more to indicate a continuing universe and the proper chronological order of the stories than to make sure the reader hits every single story. Plus, I just fell in love with Annette's "chapterette" designations for the stories that I went back and wrote and then stuck into the already established timeline! Many chapters (or sets of chapters) easily stand alone as complete stories and I will try to indicate these for the casual reader. However, unlike the canon series, I do not do a recap of everybody's past, how they met, who they're related to, what their job is, who they're dating, married to, sleeping with, or broken up with, what they all want to do with their lives, etc. in each story, so there may be spoilers and/or missing background information if you skip around in your reading. I can't be responsible for that confusion or mayhem in your brain (grin). If you don't want to be confused, I suggest starting at the beginning, or reading my Synopsis Page.
