Exactly like the title says, someone a while back asked me to do a Kim Burgess adoption fanfic but I haven't had time to do a a complete book, it's getting harder because of writers block to complete them where as one shots are smaller and easier to finish. I can take requests, either message me or comment in this book. the first few are just a few I've been working on the last couple of days now alot of these will be Kim, Erin and Hailey but if you wanna see someone else just let me know. remember, this is for family one shots only meaning they're related to the chosen PD character. on occasions I might do friends but that's it, no relationships. thank you and I hope you enjoyComplete
British Aluminium a Memoir
My experience as an apprentice, student and engineer from 1954 to 1964. A small contribution to Britain's industrial history, one of the world's greatest stories. The British Aluminium Company Ltd was founded on 7 May 1894 and became Rio Tinto Alcan in 2007. But the three factories where I worked have now been demolished. The Kinlochleven hydro-electric factory built between 1905 and 1907 not only produced Aluminium but also provide electrical power to every house in the village, a first in the world. The factory was closed in 1996 but the hydro power station is still in use. Cover photo - The cover photo has nothing to do with my memoir except that it illustrates the beginning of the industrial revolution. It is a replica of Trevithick's Penydarren tramway locomotive built by the National Museums and Galleries of Wales, Swansea. (Incidentally, near Resolven, Wales). The pioneering locomotive built in 1803-04 by the Cornishman Richard Trevithick at the Penydarren Ironworks, Merthyr Tydfil. On 21 February 1804, this locomotive ran the nine mile tramway from Penydarren to Abercynon, hauling a load of ten tons of iron and about seventy people who hitched an unofficial ride! This was the first successful journey made by a steam locomotive on rails, and would initiate a world-wide revolution in transport in the nineteenth century.Complete

The Railway ~ Rewrite: "First Series"
"I arrived from Brighton to the North Western Railway, even though I didn't mean to. I was bored of just shunting coaches for the big engines in the station, and I yearned to see the world. But then, a black engine was pushed by the trucks into a field. I rescued him with the breakdown train, and Sir Topham Hatt awarded me with my own special coaches and my own branch line! Now I can work by myself and see the other engines pass by. They can shunt their coaches themself for all I care." (Google doc version) https://docs.google.com/document/d/15e1R8-xuuxyKWDZpwIABWASp65EQxjaQtuf43F38U-w/edit The Railway ~ Rewrite is a fanfiction of the Thomas the Tank Engine franchise. (You'd be surprised at how big the fandom is) After the crap that was the HiT era, which was what inspired me to do this in the first, the Sharon Miller era, the Big World Big Adventures era, and the cartoon crap that the Reverend Wilbert Awdry was against that's coming up this fall, I've decided to take it upon myself to rewrite everything Thomas in a more detailed literary format. I aim to fix everything in S8-16 and S22-24, and what's coming next. I wanna make this a movie sometime too. ~The Railway Series is owned by Wilbert and Christopher Awdry. ~Thomas & Friends is owned by Britt Allcroft and David Mitton. (HiT and Mattel do not deserve to be called its owners. I'm sorry, but they don't)Complete
The Bad Boy Saved Me

Well, the same thing happened to Ellie. Just, she doesn't live in a tower or has freakishly long hair. She always looked out of the window to catch a small glimpse of the outside world. She never saw much except for the tips of grass in front of her and the grey, almost black, road that lay in between two houses. Oh! And her mother and father are not nice like in the movie. They treated her like a slave in the house and... Did I mention her room was actually the basement? If I didn't, now you know. Enter Aidan Walker. Ellie's twin brother.
