Welcome to the Sunny Days Saga! What is the Sunny Days Saga you ask? It is a currently 2 series, 9 stories, 172 characters and over 2,000 pages of ups and downs, love and lost, war and peace, family and friends and the very essence of growing up really. It all started on July 16, 2000 when Laces, a member of the NML (Newsies Mailing List) finished her first fan fiction story ever and excitedly posted it to her fellow listees. So after so many years I've decided to set up somewhere readers can find all 9 completed stories and start reading the newest and LAST tale about Laces and the Newsies in the Rain Or Shine Series, Sunny Days Saga. You will find all the stories that are completed on the navigation bar to your left and below I've included small summaries written more like movie trailers, because I always hated writing summaries. If you have comments, suggestions, feedback please post in the forums!
