A year ago there was an exchange between two law enforncement
agencies - a meeting that brought on many changes...
A note concerning The Streets of New York:
After the shock of the attacks on America in
September, I eventually got around to thinking about this piece
of fanfic. I realize it is incredibly trivial in the grand scheme
of things (and even in the lesser scheme of things), but I still
wondered what would be the most appropriate thing to do. Should
I continue writing it? Should I ask Nesciri to take it down? What
would everyone think if I kept writing it?
The shock and pain were too much at first, and I didn't know quite
what I was going to do. The first change was that I asked Nesciri
to remove the original graphic which clearly depicted the World
Trade Centers.
After that, I worked slowly on chapter 4 and tried to decide where
to go next. I wasn't sure if a storyline where buildings in Manhattan
are burned down would be welcome. I know I was probably giving too
much
thought to such a trivial thing, but it was important to me to have
the approval of those in the fandom, because I consider you all
friends; in short, I didn't want anyone thinking it would be inappropriate
for me
to keep writing TSONY.
It's been 3 months now and I'm more than ready to
pick this story back up again and run with it. While there will
be no pointed references to the WTC (I never planned on them initially,
either), this is, for all intents and purposes, a universe where
the towers still exist. This isn't my attempt to gloss things over
or to ignore reality; simply put, I've created this little world,
I've had all the details plotted out in my head for close to six
months, and this is how it will remain. Enough people have written
to ask me when I'm continuing the story, that I'm reassured they
will keep reading it as it is. It's entertainment, pure and simple,
and a humble attempt to do justice to a city I've always been fascinated
by.
Of course, as I agonized over this decision, I consulted a few wonderful
people who have truly become friends in every sense of the word
since I joined this fandom: Laura, Liz, and Lisa R have been angels
of mercy, support, and advice. Most of all I'd like to thank Raye,
for a conversation that had more impact on me than she probably
realized at the time. It was right after we hung up the phone that
I knew without a doubt I would be continuing with this story.
I welcome all comments and criticisms regarding this decision.
So that's enough seriousness. Back to romance, suspense, melodrama,
and British Kid :o)
Sid.
