A new series. The way I ended ASOQE, it didn't seem right to continue it. October 2, 2008 - current It's just a new series. Not too Quiglet obssessed, and not as frequent. Any ASOQE/ Post-Euphoria, Pre-Dysphoria commentary MUST go in here for the sake of cleaning it up and keeping it tidy. The ASOQE thread will now just be for museumic purposes. Thank you.

I can't wait to read it, Shelly. And it's great to see that you're starting the new series. Lovin' the title, by the way.

Yeah. Post-Euphoria refers to ASOQE and its aftermath, but Pre-Dysphoria refers how dark these next two years are going to be. Post-Euphoria, Pre-Dysphoria is going to be more character centred. "It's Not My Time" by 3 Doors Down. * * * Violet was tromping through the forest at night, moonlight occasionally cutting through the trees. She didn't know how late it was, but it had to be late. And then she heard it. She couldn't be sure she heard it. Looking back at the beginning of this And how life was Just you and me loving all of our friends Living life like an ocean But now the current's only pulling me down It’s getting harder too breath It won’t be to long and I will be going under Can you save me from this?And then, there it was again. HELP ME. . . HELP ME . . .Cause it’s not my time I'm not going There's a fear in me it’s not showing This could be the end of me And everything I know Oh but I won’t goShe stopped in her tracks, looking behind her for the source of the noise. HELP ME. . . HELP ME . . .I look ahead to all the plans that we made And the dreams that we had I'm in a world that tries to take them away Oh but I'm taking them back Cause all of this time I've just been too blind to understand What should matter to me My friends this life we live, it’s not what we have It’s what we believe inShe looked around, confused. The voice, though sounding very familiar, didn't seem to be coming from one particular source. Cause it’s not my time I'm not going There's a fear in me but it’s not showing This could be the end of me And everything I know But it’s not my time I'm not going There's a will in me and now I know that This could be the end of me And everything I know Oh but I won’t go I won’t goAnd then, suddenly, she could see the silhouette of a figure, walking towards her. HELP ME. . . HELP ME . . .There might be more than you believe (There might be more than you believe) There might be more than you can seeViolet abruptly turned away, running and slipping past trees. She could hear the figure catching up. And then, suddenly, she felt a pair of arms around her knees, and she crashed to the ground. But it’s not my time I'm not going There's a fear in me it’s not showing This could be the end of me And everything I know But it’s not my time I'm not going There's a will in me and now it’s gonna show This could be the end of me And everything I know Oh"Help me . . . please. . ." the figure rasped, and Violet looked up at her attacker. Moonlight slightly illuminated the figure, and Violet screamed. The figure was herself, wild-eyed and desperate, the whites of her eyes particularly popping out at her in the dim light. "Help me!" this Violet wailed, stretching her arms to the other Violet, who was scared out of her wits. There might be more than you believe (There might be more than you believe) There might be more than you can seeAnd Violet woke up, screaming her lungs out. But I won’t go No I won’t go down YeahShe shivered, hearing in the distance, a little voice in her head, pleading with her, begging her to help her.

I hope that writing Pre-Dysphoria helps you to deal with the next two years. A lot of the one-shots I do are inspired by whatever difficulties I'm currently dealing with, or have dealt with in the past. I've heard this song many times, and I must say that it fits the story perfectly. At first, I had no idea who the figure could be. (I thought it had to be one of the other characters. For some reason, Isadora came to mind). The twist at the end when Violet discovers that it's actually herself was just great.

I'm been more blank this week (exams week), so I made this wallpaper for the sake of being practical. Supernatural, anyone?

I'm quite proud of it. It doesn't look bad tiled, either. "Hear You Me" by Jimmy Eat World. * * * Quigley ruffled his fluffy brown hair, and it flopped into his eyes. Sighing, he left the flowers he'd been holding, wedged into Violet's apartment window. The card attached was a 'no-hard-feelings?' card. There's no one in town I know You gave us some place to go I never said thank you for that 'thought I might get one more chanceHe then climbed down the floors of the building, the knife of regret inching down his spine. What would you think of me now? So lucky, so strong, so proud I never said thank you for that Now I'll never have a chanceHe was at home a little while later, packing his belongings, when the realisation of how stupid he was fell like a brick. May angels lead you in Hear you me my friends On sleepless roads, the sleepless go May angels lead you inHe raced back to the apartment, flicking open his phone and dialing her number. She answered, and he looked up to see her on the balcony, examining the flowers. And if you were with me tonight I'd sing to you just one more time A song for a heart so big God couldn't let it live"Hey," he answered, but she hung up on him. Then, to his surprise, the flowers landed around him, having been thrown off the balcony and torn free of their wrapping.

Aww, that was sad. I feel bad for Quigley, but at least he tried to apologize. The fact that Violet tossed the flowers off the balcony was heartbreaking. Great one, Shelly.

Thanks.
The new banner is now up. Official and effective immediately, at least until I can make a better one.

You're very welcome. I love the new banner, btw. And the images you used are from two of my top favorite books.

I love that picture from TEE. It's so forlorn and beautifully done.
Any requests?

It is. It's one of my favorites. I'm planning to get the paperback versions of TAA, TEE, and TPP once they're released, just so I can check out the new illustrations. And can you do "Eyes On Fire" by Blue Foundation?
