TakenThis story was written for Circle Writing Event number 2, in which participants got to claim a plot bunny to write.

The Christmas Goose ChaseEach year, the Jix authors arrange a Secret Santa, where we each write a story for another author. For 2011, I was given Susansuth’s name. Susan was fairly undemanding in her request, mainly wanting a story that does not include vampires. So, here is a little Christmas adventure, featuring several of Susan’s favourite things, but no vampires. Merry Christmas, everyone!

The Pendeville House Affair** Newly updated! **
Now for something completely different. Did you ever read Choose Your Own Adventure or Twist-a-plot books? Well, this is something in the same style but starring the Bob-Whites. You may find mystery, adventure or romance; horrorcanes, phantoms or villains; silliness, or serious topics. It's all down to the choices YOU make. So, journey with the Bob-Whites on their visit to Pendeville House and discover its secrets.
A few notes before you begin: I must say that I got rather carried away with this idea. As a result, it’s BIG (and after the update, it's more than twice the original size). Those of you who have slow connections and such may find it easier to save it as HTML onto your hard drive and open it from there. You'll need to save each of the three pages (page one, page two and the notes page), leaving the filenames exactly as they are, and put them all in the same directory. The links between parts should work just fine. (Please email me if you don't get it and I'll talk you through!)
Original version posted on 1 March, 2004 as part of the 4th Jixaversary celebrations. 32,918 words. Updated version, written for the Hurricane Katrina appeal, posted on 25 June, 2007. 39,481 additional words, for a grand total of 72,399 . . . I think!
Through the FlamesPeople shouldn't challenge me to write unhappy stories. I have discovered that I have no scruples whatsoever about killing off characters, so long as the story is a stand-alone. Be warned! (A big thank you to Kaye KL, who announced this story for me when I couldn't make it to a computer.)

Saccharine SweetMart once taught Bobby that revenge was saccharine sweet. Now, he and Trixie are testing the idea for themselves. This is a very light-weight piece, both short and shallow. *shrug*

Pale GlassIn 2005, the Jix authors arranged a special kind of Secret Santa, where participating authors wrote a story especially for another person. The recipient of my story was Mary C and she asked for a Honey and Brian or a Matt and Maddie story. After some consideration, I came up with this little tale.
Brian and Honey, enjoying their first Christmas in their new home, stumble upon a mystery which reaches back into the past.
A big thank you to Terry (chromasnake), who hosted for an extended period while I tried in vain to beat my computer into submission.
