Okay folks, I've said and said that I was eventually going to get some inspiration and continue working on the "A Demon's Delight" storyline, and after five versions of the first chapter (of ADD2) failed to satisfy me I sat down under a new title (The old title for ADD2 was Paradox, the new one is Crash-Course With Destiny) and wrote and rewrote until I had a good rough draft for the first chapter.  I've looked over it for errors, and corrected what I found.

This fanfic, when finished, will be huge. A Demon's Delight topped out at 46 pages typed, whereas the first scene/chapter in CCWD is 6 pages - and it is less than one percent of the story.

I'm sending this to the FFML in chapters with the hope of getting interest in the storyline built as I develop it so that the input I recieve can be put to good use in later chapters. This is an alpha, but I still believe it is written better than the final version of ADD was.  I'm also having trouble getting Microsoft Word to cooperate with Netscape Communicator (Go figure) So I have to attach an RTF file.  I know that attaching fanfics as files is discouraged, but currently I have no other means of distribution.  If anyone knows how to get Word to cooperate with Communicator please send me a private email. Thanks.

P.S. The RTF file is officially certified by moi as being totally and unconditionally virus-free, etc. Enjoy, and send feedback! The need for C&C on this is the only reason I'm posting it so soon after writing it. It will open with wordpad or microsoft word, and probably Mic. Works (dont have works installed to test)

IMPORTANT: CCWD currently draws on A Demon's Delight for characterization. I would post ADD again to the list for reference material but the list has seen ADD maybe three times already, and I don't want to hog bandwidth so 6 pages of text can be C&C'd - Just letting you know in advance that the characters are a little different.
