Barnabas: I don't care if the roof is going to collapse, Magda!  Your stepping on my foot!

Double lol
One for you MagnusTrask and one for that zany McTrooper guy.
Inanimate objects and bears oh my. 

If your search doesn't turn up anything, then I could suggest putting some of those dead links into http://www.archive.org/ You could find the old text.

Ah yes the Wayback Macine.    I did think about using that (but didn't get around to googleing up the link).  I had great luck finding Gargoyals stuff on that a few years ago . . anyway part of the reason I asked here is that the story (to my knowledge didn't get finished) and I knew he was revising it.

But . . I did find a good archive of one of the story sites with the Wayback Macine:

Darker Shadows (Fan Fic by Walt Chmara)

A long time ago I read a great fan fic called Darker Shadows by Walt Chmara.
I devoured about 13 chapters, but after a while of no updates I gave up checking in . . until about two years ago.

It took quite a bit of Google searching, but I found it.  And I found out Walt Chmara was re-editing his story.
He only had a few chapters of the revised story posted.

I lost track of it at some point, but decided recently to look for it again.

So far my google search has shown up a couple of dead links and . . something else . . "Darker Shadows by Jack Copet"  . .

Is this the same story and same author?  I think it is because the links look the same:

(dead link) Jack

Any way . .

My question to you, my cousins . .
Is there any chance this story is still being written?

Is the story still on-line?

Do you have any clue as to where I could find it?

Does anyone remember this fan fic?


Right now I'm google-ing "alanesue" . . it shows up in two different dead links.
If I find anything I'll let you know.

If you know anything please let me know.

Julia:  You just stepped on my foot!

Barnabas:  Well I over heard you saying that you want to play footsy with me. 

I say no.  Dark Shadows loosely bases it's fictional creatures on other stuff (uhm . . what do you call a body of knowledge and myth?).
So ghosts are probably bound to and by certain things like unresolved problems, revenge, and magic.
So I think the ghosts are bound to there own dimension.

Also generally don't ghosts lack a comprehensive understanding of there world?
Don't they lack a certain will power to act on complex new information?

Still . . it could make a great fan fic story . . the lost ghost . . confused . . alone . . a ghost who possessed someone during a seyons (how is that spelled?) is scared and runs away to the parallel time room.

Camera dude:  Now scream in terror for the camera.

Bruno:  Uhm . . how about I just say Aaa instead.
