Thanks. Isa is manipulative, old habits die hard. She badgers demands, wants Daryl's commit even though he has said I'm going home. Director has stated he wants romantic exploration w/Posey. No one listens to DD, who states he wants to go home. Also Nun and priest? Bunking together? What the heck?
WritingCaryl February 15, 2024 6:14am
Pearlseed, I just watched season 1 of TWDDD, and I definitely have some things to talk about myself. I've been chatting a bit about it on Twitter, mostly trying to talk myself out of some worries. I keep trying to remind myself of the behind the scenes stuff we've gotten for season 2.
pearlseed February 15, 2024 2:36am
Is there a place here to talk about TWD Daryl Dixon Season 1? I have questions I can't figure out what might have caused yhe writers to pursue one thing or another.

Anyone interested in participating in a fic-and-art-a-thon - check the link in the Events box at the left.

That's it, barb! My memory of the story was hazy, but looking at it now, that's exactly it. Couldn't even remember what seasons it was set in. LOL Thanks again!
barb62779 December 15, 2023 9:07pm
PaigeXavier, I believe that’s Nine Lives by AffairWithACrossbow.
PaigeXavier December 15, 2023 12:36pm
Shoutbox has been quiet, but hopefully somebody's still here to find this story for me.
All I remember is that it's relatively canon, early seasons, and Rick and Beth somehow end up together? They steal Lil Asskicker or something in the middle of the night? Wish I remembered more. Anyone know?

Trogdor19 wrote Carol gets her Groove back, 2 pts. talks about them waking up together, slow, sweet and how he hits in a fight, using his whole body to explode against enemy. Mr. Reedus has such a unique physical presence. I just realized he walks like John Wayne, sorta crabbing along.

Oh no, I missed the Secret Santa signup. :-(

Carylshipper4life October 24, 2023 10:02pm
Is "No Regrets" still available and if so, where?
Aras October 22, 2023 12:37am
barb62779, thank you!!
barb62779 October 21, 2023 8:40pm
Aras, that would be ‘No Regrets’ by Carol Peletier. Great story!
Aras October 21, 2023 5:44pm
Hi, I'm looking for a fic. Non-ZA, where Daryl is raising a baby alone when he meets Carol and she quickly gets close to her as well. One night when Beth is babysitting,the baby gets sick and is taken to the hospital. Carol is worried but they don't let her in because she isn't the real mother.
subversivegrrl October 16, 2023 8:26am
Caryl Secret Santa signups are open (see link in the Events box) - untappedtreasure has been running it for 10 years, jump on board and share in the Caryl goodness at the holidays!
DaisyUnchained October 14, 2023 7:03pm
Loved ones! It is the era of our Queen and I couldn’t be more thrilled! Long live Carol and Daryl.

I never did post the sequel to Never Get To Know You here, or did I?
lovesdaryl September 23, 2023 12:33pm
Hello Freckles, yes, I am working on a new chapter. :-)
ICanStopAnyTime September 11, 2023 6:28pm
SimplytheBeth - I think I wrote that one. It's Truth or Dare, but the version here is just a stand-alone excerpt. The full 51-chapter version is on fanfic.net

Site Errors

As Nine Lives software continues to age, we are seeing glitches and errors become more commonplace. Most recently, we are seeing author’s accounts randomly invalidated. We understand that this can be frustrating. In order for us to address these issues most effectively, it is imperative that you PM AN ADMIN FIRST AND FOREMOST. The shoutbox is not the place to address these issues. Please DO NOT post in the shoutbox if you are having issues posting a story, or difficulty with other site glitches. We appreciate your help in these matters. Thank you!

Terms of Service

From its inception, Nine Lives has been about fostering a sense of safety for our fandom, so that we may enjoy Caryl fanfiction without harassment or abuse. Nine Lives does not tolerate any harassment, abuse, or disrespect directed towards any of its members or authors. This is very clearly outlined in our Terms of Service, as stated below:

“Remember, we are here for the fun and love of writing/reading Caryl. The easiest rule to follow is this: TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED. The Golden Rule. Sadly, we live and operate in a world - and Fandom - that does not always treat others with due respect. If the administration discovers that a Nine Lives' member has been harassing another member, the offending party will be banned from the site.”

If you need a refresher on what behavior is allowed on Nine Lives, please take this opportunity to read, or re-read, our Terms of Service, and if you have any questions, please PM an admin.
