In the spirit of alternate universes, two endings, neither one especially likely to satisfy, I'm afraid. *posts, runs, and hides*

Title: Not Yourself 12/12
Author: Sophinisba Solis
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Gen AU following mostly movie-verse. Faramir takes the Ring and means to save Frodo from madness.
Disclaimer: Of course, of course, I don't own these characters or their setting, and I make no money by writing about them.
Warnings: Kinda dark, some violence, no happy ending. More extensive intro, summary, warnings and author's notes here.
Note: This chapter is unbetaed because I suddenly got impatient. Please comment or e-mail if you spot any mistakes.

I think we're back to PG for the next few chapters, which are (attempting to be) more creepy than outright horrific. 7 takes place immediately after 6, and I should get it posted in the next day or two.

This is the shortest chapter of the bunch. To make up for that the next one is huge and should be ready by tomorrow. :)

( Chapter 2, The House )

I've run into a bit of a roadblock with the Faculty fic. There will be more, of course (there is more written already), but I'm not happy with the next part and need some time to try to fix it. In the meantime, in order to keep up with my twin new year's resolutions to post fic and not to be wuss about posting fic, I'm going to start sharing something I've kinda sorta been sitting on since August.

So, later today or possibly tomorrow I'll put up the first chapter of a longish (30,000 words), darkish, Frodo-centric AU fic. It has no sex and not much violence, but it does manage to be quite unpleasant in other ways and I'm calling it PG-13. If you'd like to check out a summary and warnings, please click on the lj cut under this paragraph

( It actually still needs a title; suggestions are welcome. )

If you'd prefer to be surprised, please skip what's below the cut and be patient, as I will start posting very soon and, barring major unforeseen events, will update regularly. Unlike other series I've started, this one is actually pretty much done, so there shouldn't ever be more than a week or so in between chapters for revisions and fiddling.

And of course, if you'd rather not read the story at all, really, it's totally fine. We can still be friends! I'll keep writing about Casey and Zeke and I'll do my best to keep writing some lighter stuff as well, now that I've got this one pretty much out of my system.

ETA: And if there's anything specific you're worried about or that would help you decide whether to read this or not, please feel free to e-mail me (sophinisba at gmail dot com) and tell me your concerns, your squicks, or whatever, and I'll spoil you rotten. I'd just rather not do it in a public post.
