Hi I'm MissMish and I'm not new to writing, fanfiction, or FanFiction.net. I have another account but since I can't seem to write any of the current stories over there I'm going to dick around over here and hope my fans don't find me. D=

As of now, I'm writing three stories, all of them are for The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim about the Dark Brotherhood. Namely about my Listener but not Dragonborn, Isobel and the beloved Keeper, Cicero. Anyways, here are the summaries and the order in which they are listed are the order in which they will be put on FF.

Chasing a Shadow

Isobel Clauvias, Listener to the Dark Brotherhood takes a trip to Riften with the Keeper, Cicero, in tow. She's been in quite the bad mood since Astrid's betrayal and things get worse when she lands in the pickpocket capital of Skyrim. When she forgets the contact's name and realizes she has to go all the way back to the sanctuary, she decides they'll leave in the morning after a acceptable night in the inn but when she arrives she realizes her pocket's been picked and she hasn't enough money for even one bed. So, she decides to just go back to the sanctuary and ride through the night when she realizes something much more upsetting is missing. It turns out the Thieves Guild may have something to do with it and she's willing to slice every throat until she finds her missing horse. Que the wild goose hunt.

Note: This story I'm doing prior to the others because I want to use it as leverage to get used to the character personalities and behavior. It'll be no larger than 40,000 words if it all works out as I plan. Also will be attempting comedy on this one. Romance would be a sub sub genre on this because it's almost nonexistent.

Returning to Tradition

The Night Mother has been making odd demands recently, asking Isobel to do things that don't make all that much sense. When the Night Mother starts sending everyone on dangerous murders- public dangerous murders they have to stay on their toes. Something is wrong with Cicero, but then again, something is always wrong with Cicero. This time, Isobel is willing to admit she's starting to fear him as they try to handle the influx of new members. An old... friend decides to join, much to Isobel's distaste and things seem to get out of control when she finds a key to the past, the old Dark Brotherhood and she finally understand what Mother wants. Not only is the weight of appeasing the Night Mother lands on Isobel's shoulders, but also the weight of trying to make the Dark Brotherhood what it used to be and makes a promise she may not be able to fulfill.

Note: Baaaad summary. It will be revised. This will be, hopefully, a full length novel broken into two or three main parts.

Preserving the Tradition

Before I begin the summary, this story will follow Cicero and Isobel, not in the future, but in the past should one little thing had been different. A what if kind of thing. Summary wont make a lot of sense until you've read Returning to Tradition but it can be read this story without having read the previous story.

"Sanguine, My Brother." She walked in. This is the story of what would become of the Brotherhood had Isobel not heard the voice of her brother that day when she stood before the door. What would become of the Falkreath Sanctuary without Cicero, or... with Cicero, a different Cicero, a sane one. What would become of the members, the Dark Brotherhood, and how would the Keeper and the Listener be different?

Note: Mostly a chance to have a sane Cicero, write a different approach on the Brotherhood and show how little tiny events can change the course of many things, but not all of them.

Moving past the summaries, I will have information, mostly for myself, on the status of each of the stories. The first chapter of each story will be written after I've finished the last chapter as to avoid keeping readers waiting. I'm still not sure how I'll release the chapters since I'll have all of them done and not be releasing based on finishing each chapter. I think for Chasing a Shadow I'll release one to three chapters a day each day and hopefully before 12 (Pacific). For Returning to Tradition I make release by part each Friday before noon or each Thursday night. Maybe the same for Preserving the Tradition. I don't know yet. Anyways onto status.

Chasing a Shadow: CaS
Returning to Tradition: RtT
Preserving the Tradition: PtT

Basic Plot: CaS, RtT, PtT

Detailed Plot:
CaS Plot isn't very detailed yet, still working on the timeline of events and how it plays into my complete timeline. I'd say about 25% of the detailed plot is worked out.
RtT Plot is pretty detailed. I have the structure of everything I want and I'm still working out some kinks in the end of it. About 80% of the detailed plot is worked out.
PtT Plot is also pretty detailed but still not finished. About 60-70% of the detailed plot is worked out.

Character:
CaS Characters are worked out to about 95%. Just working on a few details and they're done.
RtT Characters all have names, genders, appearances. Personalities are nearly done but I still need to do the back stories. About 60% done with the characters.
PtT Characters are still not decided on entirely beside maybe three of the other characters. 35% done with the characters.

First Draft:
CaS First Draft, 10%
RtT First Draft, 45%
PtT First Draft, 5%
