This is a weirdly specific request, but there is a series of stories by Simon called The Other Foot Stories in which Brian falls in love with some one else.

I have found one story set in the same universe by another author called Ten Years Gone by Deb Tanner.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any other stories set in that universe or written as a fix to the original stories?

Thank you.

I wrote Ten Years Gone and am actually working on an extended version of that story as well as a couple of others set in the same universe. I really did and still do enjoy Simon's series simply because it stirs up such strong emotions. Simon has read what I've written and has not objected to anything so far. I find it unfortunate that she no longer writes in the fandom other than the occasional drabble or challenge. I also wrote a poem (something I rarely do) called 'Look Into' which was inspired by reading Simon's stories as well as a few others who kept B/J apart for one reason or another.

I'm glad you liked it. When I wrote it I wasn't really sure where I wanted to go with it, and I was already working on two other stories in the same universe. I became a bit anxious about it and decided to post it on my LJ as it was. And I'll admit I left myself with a lot of questions as well. It was a little while before I went back to it with an inspiration from my other fics as to where I wanted to go with the story. I'm hoping to post it on my LJ soon.

Your Ten Years Gone is awesome. It really kicks ass. I am so excited to hear you are writing an extended version and more in this universe. What great news!

*blushes* Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Hopefully I will be able to post the extended version to my LJ this week. Haven't decided yet if I'll post it anywhere else.

I so hope you add to Ten Years Gone. It really left so many things unanswered.
While I enjoyed Simon's story, it left me in tears and mad at Brian.

I'm glad you liked the fic and I am writing an extended version, which hopefully will be posted this week. At first I thought about leaving it as is and writing a sequel, but then I decided to just extend the story instead.

And, I'm the same way about Simon's series. I love angst filled stories and I re-read her series a lot. But then I go over into her individual stories and read some of those and they always cheer me up, especially 'Company Picnic' and 'Fourth of July.'

I joined the fandom long after "The Other Foot" series was first posted. Simon replied once to Mouse's fiction when it was on MW that she stopped writing QAF fic because people threatened her and flamed her after "Other Foot" was posted.
