Okay, I'm not yet done, but with the encouragement of some of you who left comments on my last post, I did get 11,000 words done on this one, so I just officially told Aly that this can go in the auction:


A full length crossover with Magnificent Seven featuring Jim finding his mother and a new family. Flesh and Blood and Heart is set in roughly season 3 with an established relationship between Jim and Blair. When a bone marrow donation reveals that Jim has a first degree relative, he goes on a search to see if some stopover during his military days meant a child he never knew about. Instead he discovers that his parents' marriage had more than a few secrets and his mother is a woman capable of turning his life upside down. When everything else fails him, he has Blair, but what he doesn't know is just how far he can trust the rest of his family. This story is not yet completed, but is estimated at 40-60K words.

I really did want to do something for charity, but my muse has been temperamental lately. It's very annoying. And I will introduce the M7 characters one at a time in the crossover, but I will be using the same AU setup as in my first M7 piece. Mostly, this is going to be a Jim story, though.

Always a guilty pleasure to hear that commenting--among many others--inspires people to write and then we get to enjoy (at some point). I enjoyed your AU M7 and got a feel for their characters which should be enough in a story focusing on Jim. Anways, I hope you enjoy the writing process.

Comments are an incredible motivation. It's not even the praise... it's talking to someone. A lot of times, someone will make an observation of something I didn't *notice* in my own writing, and that will set me off in a whole new direction.
