The New Deal by Big Pink?  
Does anyone have or know where to find Big Pink's The New Deal? It's the last in the Red series - I've read all the others and now I'm dying to read the last one, but the link I've seen other folks reference to the story in her livejournal is broken, and it's not listed with her other works on FF.net. I would really appreciate if anyone can point me to a copy! The suspense is KILLING me!

In her memories here it says part 10 Between Murder and Breakdown is the last chapter?

I think that's the last chapter of Red itself; but Red is part of a larger series of 6 long stories - I've seen it referred to both as Single White, Double Yellow as well as the "Red series." It includes Red, DNR, Dazzleland, Verbal, Fire in the Hole, and finally, the New Deal. All of them seem to be on her livejournal except the last one, but it must have been there at one time - I've found recs that supply the old link, but it's gone now. Sob! All the stories are fabulous, but several reccers have said that New Deal was their favorite, so of course I'm dying to read it! Oh where oh where has it gone?

I have looked - I concur it doesn't seem to be on ff dot net and the LJ link is useless.
Her website seems to be mostly defunct

I have it in two forms, which I don't think she would mind sharing because she originall had it backed up several places --

a word doc I could send in pdf; or a larger pdf that I may be able to send (she formatted it and originally posted it at her site - it has more than one story) but I'm not too sure if it is too large to emaill and the site seems to be permanently down.

I'm posting anonymously because i was having trouble with viruses that seemed to originate here.

If you want me to try to send you the pdfs - smallest first - please send me your email in whatever safe format you choose. It may take me a little time to check here.

Hola! Wow, you guys flatter me. That's so sweet, that you're trying to track down New Deal.

I took it down because I largely cannibalized it to create a new piece of original fiction and didn't want any confusion out there for agents or publishers, should the latter actually happen. (Note: the wheels of publication move slooooooowly).

Feel free to share it if you have a PDF, or contact me and I can send it to you! Sorry for the hard work you've had to do to track it down.

Cheerios, BigPink

Glad you don't mind us sharing it around. I just finished and it ROCKS!

Thanks for all your amazing fanfic, and best of luck with the publishing world!

so glad you're going pro--you're a great writer and more people deserve to read your stories

Hi

I stumbled over this post and now want to read all of the stories (which i think I have tracked down). But I am a bit confused as to the best order (and wanted to check I have in fact tracked them all down).

Would you be able to give me a reading order list?

Thanks
[identity profile] big-pink.livejournal.com on June 13th, 2012 07:59 pm (UTC)
Hmmm. Good question. I always assume people will read them in the order I wrote them, which isn't in chronological order (show's linear sequence). I don't think you can go particularly wrong no matter where you start, but if it were up to me, I'd suggest: Red, DNR (oneshot), Dazzleland, Verbal (oneshot), Fire in the Hole, and then New Deal. I'd possibly throw in Cirque de Céline when you're done (especially if you've read Verbal), but it's more like a grace note to the action.

The New Deal
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but if anyone could help me find a copy of The New Desl I would be in your debt. I just purchased an ebook of Deadroad, but would love to finish out the Red series! Thanks
