Addicted to this fic Lisa, love the way you are ramping up the tension in this chapter... And building up the emotion around the backstory. I was very moved reading this one, thanks for sharing with us again
Chapter Nineteen is live. The theme is loyalty. And when i said that Hal was going to be really bad, he is, but as i wrote it, another idea occurred to me and also in turn solved a problem brewing with another character. I hope that you enjoy it, i certainly enjoyed writing it.
oohh.. very happy to see you have another chapter up Lisa, something to look forward to all day as my bedtime reading tonight! thank you for sharing
I tend to re read the previous chapter before as well, not sure if i told you that already. when you have finished i may print the whole thing out because i cannot wait to read it all in one go - and this would make an exceptional fanfic novella! (or novel depending how big you go!)
I'm on a bit of a roll with this one, the next chapter (number 22!) is now live. I can't remember the last time i've updated as quickly as this. This is the penultimate 'human Hal' chapter. I hope that you like it. It's still sad in places so warnings applied!
wow.
Lisa, sorry if I have said this before but your take on the back story is so natural and feels so right that it almost doesn't feel like its yours, I do not mean that in a disrespectful way, I mean it is so aligned with Being Human and Hal as a character that without me knowing it you are unfolding my own perception of Hal's past - it feels so right that it is as if we already knew it. perfect. gripping and moving in equal measure. thank you for that, there were big hal shaped holes that hurt after being human ended, you are filling them and it feels, right.
The site has been experiencing problems all day so apologies if you get a 503 error when clicking the link.
This chapter is the final 'Human Hal' flashback chapter and it's a long one, at 5k. I'm also a little bit nervous about this one because in the process of writing it, I had a bit of an idea, a lightbulb moment really, and my beta really liked the idea too when i talked it over with her. This is what emerged. I won't spoil it but i'd really like to hear what you think of it when you do read it. It may work, it may backfire spectacularly. As always, the idea behind it is rooted in the show's canon and that is all i will say apart from I hope that you like it :)
Hi Domino, I always appreciate whatever it is that you have to say about 'Numb', mostly that you're still enjoying it. Responses such as yours keep me going with it. Right now it feels like the fic that will never end, i've been writing it for a year now, the longest i've ever taken to write a fic.
Anyhow, chapter twenty five is now live: I hope that you like it, it sets the foundation for future chapters.
I'm not sure whether anyone is still reading 'Numb' (a.k.a The Never Ending Story...) but chapter 27 just went live. This is the calm before the storm, in a manner of speaking. I hope you like it.
Hi Lisa! I'm playing catchup with fanfics right now and I am so glad you are still going with 'Numb'! Going to read chapters 25, 26 and 27 tonight So sorry I have not done this sooner, but there is something more delicious about reading a few chapters all together.
To all out newer members and forum visitors.. if you have not discovered this fanfic yet, I highly recommend it!
Hello! After a break of four months (eek!), a new chapter of 'Numb' is live. The long gap between updates has been down to writer's block (grrr) and pesky eye problems (sorted, kind of) so i hope you enjoy it. The next chapter is three quarters is done so hopefully not such a long wait between updates...
You're very sweet Jozie, thank you. Make yourself comfortable because it's a long one. My Hal fics were predominantly one shots until i got the idea for this one and it turns out it is the longest of my Being Human fan fics (to date)
