A Bit About My FanFic

I posted my earliest Another World fan fiction, BAY CITY TODAY, on AOL Hometown. I chose to stick to canon, including the canon of certain former AW characters' As The World Turns storylines. The story picked up on the actual date on which my fanfic started: November 29th, 2001. {I had only recently gotten a computer). I planned to keep my fanfic concurrent with the calendar, but that was, as the cliche goes, easier said than done. As for sticking to canon, this sometimes meant scrapping one of my storylines due to a contradicting story on ATWT. For example, I planned to have Nick and Remy marry on May 4th, 2002, the anniversary of Another World's debut. And then, two things happened:
My computer died and, soon afterwards, so did Jake. I couldn't even go to the message boards to weep and wail with other fans!
I also slacked off a bit. {Did I say "a bit"?} The time between episodes grew longer and longer. Eventually, I moved the opening date ahead a year, and changed the name to BAY CITY FOREVER. I recently went over BCF, and made slight changes to most of the episodes. The storylines, however, remain the same. I love being able to edit something even AFTER I've posted it.
I'm now working on Episode 71, which I HOPE to post within the next week.
