Looking for a specific fanfiction

I have never heard of this one. Anyone?

Even though I've read a fair amount of fan fiction the past year, I can't remember reading this one either... that said, I try to avoid the real tearjerkers, they completely drain me emotionally. I'm still hoping someone finds it for you.

Wow, that sounds pretty heavy. Are you sure it was on the fanfic site? I've read almost everything on there and don't recall anything like that. Of course if it went in that direction I may have decided to not read it. Hope you find it.

I always think it's a shame when people take stories down. Surely someone out there will enjoy it in the future! I cringe at some of my early efforts but I know they still bring some people pleasure. Sometimes people are trying to cut back t heir online presence, which I can understand, but I wish it didn' happen that often. There's an app I use called fan fiction downloader to save stories I especially like.

Wow. I never thought of doing that, what a great idea.
I don't tend to get as upset as other people over unfinished fics. Recently I was contacted by someone who had enjoyed one of my longer stories, and gently chastised me for not resetting the status to "complete," which I guess I'd forgotten to do, because she said many people would not read it for that reason and would miss a story she ended up really liking.

 Seriously though, Lauren, how are you? Sorry I haven't messaged you lately. Had teething problems with the new laptop I got for my birthday & had to buy a Windows recovery flash drive because HP conveniently said the 5 year warranty only included pc components but not software malfunction. 

Anywho. . .I have some good news for you. I have a copy of that story. It's called Change & you're right it is very tragic. I love a beer & a brawl as much as the next bloke but it even brought a tear to my eye. It's sad not only because Maria dies & obviously suffers before she does, even though it's only ever implied how much she suffers, but also because the von Trapp family are never really TRULY happy without her IMO. And even though, as you say, Georg marries a woman named Sabina (I think. . .not read it for ages), it's so obvious that he still pines for Maria. He still dreams of her & thinks of her but keeps his thoughts from his wife, who realises there's a part of him she can't reach.

Another thing that I think is gutting about this tale is thinking about the thoughts of the Reverend Mother & Elsa if this scenario did play out. The Rev Mo would probably always feel guilty for sending Maria out into the world because she'd think she as good as signed Maria's death warrant in doing so & I'm sure Elsa would be plagued with guilt too because if she hadn't have scared Maria back to the abbey, the governess may have escaped with the vTs instead of being shot dead. That's something the author didn't touch on but I wish he or she had have.

In addition, I wish the author hadn't have taken the story down & had have wrote more stories because tbh it's so well written. Even though CvT & the children are getting on with their lives, you can sense something missing, there's a dark shadow hanging over their lives, an unhappiness that never goes away & the final paragraph is such a heartbreaking & thought-provoking sentiment. I think everyone should read it because it deserves some recognition but only if they need a good cry. Haha! It's heavy stuff so be warned. Those are my thoughts anyway. If anyone else is brave enough to read this story, let me know your opinions about it too.

One final thing, Lauren, you were talking about editing stories & I must admit, I would love to do an alternative version of Changes tbh. When I read it, I remember being struck with what I thought would be a fantastic idea. I love it the story the way it is because I even think tragedies have their time and place but I came up with a plot to give it a happier ending too but with a supernatural twist , so to speak. Although in my version of the story, things would get as bad as they possibly could before they got better. What do you think? Should I do it? For my own personal use, of course. . .oh go on then. . .& yours if you want a copy when I'm done.

Here's a link to the original story anyway - See ya later.

Hey josephine I've found the ffic I was looking for. If you still want a copy, visit this thread callumrogers7 has posted it.

Hey unfollowthesun didn't anyone tell you, curiosity killed the cat? And see if you think I'm such a genius after hearing my idea. Lol It's all a bit Bobby in the shower in Dallas. Haha! Okay, so here goes. . .There is a point in Changes where CvT catches Brigitta crying after reading the letter from Max because she's just found out about what became of Maria. CvT asks Brigitta why she is crying but she says an old school friend of hers has died & even though he thinks her hysterical reaction is out of place & even though he suspects his daughter is hiding something, he uncharacteristically lets it go.

But in my version, that's where things would change. I think it would be more in line with his persona for CvT to end up snatching the letter (like he did at the villa with the headscarf after the rowboat incident) & seeing for himself what is going on. Then after finding out that Zeller has shot Maria, I think that that's the thing that would break him & send him completely off the rails because like I say, in Changes you get the feeling that he never stops loving Maria, even though he marries someone else. I think CvT would blame himself for leaving Maria behind & the guilt would be so overwhelming that he would lose the plot. . .become emotional, maybe even irrational & suicidal. I think he would lock himself in his study & drink himself silly. Then I'm torn between him doing one of two things. . .either taking a pistol out of his safe & going after Zeller, then visiting Maria's memorial stone once the job is done, where he ends up shooting himself (I think I probably favour this option because it would be very dramatic & romantic in a Romeo & Juliet 'now we will always be together' type of way). . .OR maybe I could include in the letter that Zeller has already been killed so CvT just shoots himself.

How is that a happy ending I hear you ask? Well, that's the thing. Just then, CvT wakes up, highly emotional & with tears streaming down his face, but he doesn't know where he is because it's dark. He rushes out of his room in a disorientated state, not knowing where he is going until he gets there. . .the governess room See where I'm going with this. That's all your getting though so na na na na na na!. . .No more spoilers in case I decide to write this version. The supernatural twist I'm keeping to myself. You'll have to wait & see. Haha! Tell me if you think this is a good idea or a steaming pile of rubbish. If you like it, I'll write it.

Hi guys, I'm new here. I was on ff net and was looking for a fic. Someone suggested coming here and asking about it, so here I am.

The story is an older one. In it, Maria has a panic attack (I believe a bad one) and runs to the bathroom, where Georg comes after her, and helps her through it. I think they were on their honeymoon. I know the description is sort of vague, but does anyone have any idea?

I love this story! It isn't the one I was looking for, though. If you have any other suggestions for stories similar to "Confidence", could you please send me a pm?

Hi there! I was able to do some stuff and convert the file to a pdf a few months ago. I can send it to you if you can message me with your email address 

Thanks so much !!

If any of y'all need help finding fics, feel free to shoot me a pm! In my ff net app library, I have like 4 or 5 TSOM folders and in total have an easy 200+ fanfics. Also, same goes for NCIS (only I have 6 folders), & Reba.

I might sound completely stupid... but how do you guys make copies of the fanfics? Help a novice out haha
