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:

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.   

Next time on Dark Shadows:  The Ghost Dentist Strikes

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

Chris:  Don't pop that cork Bruno.  That's not free-range wine. 

Vicky:  It's times like these that I wish I wasn't an 82 year old man.
