Alternate Caretaker update

[wiseheart]

Thank to the most generous Brigid, another chapter of my Alternate Voyager pilot has been posted to ff.net:

http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1422824&chapter=8

I'll have to continue writing the dratted story, as in five chapters I'll run out of finished material.


Ff.net had one of its hissy fits this morning (wouldn't let me log in and other niceties), but it seems to work at the moment. Still, I think I should sign up to The Tom Paris Dorm archive for this series. They accept genfic, too, as long as Tom Paris is one of the main heroes, so it would be useful in case ff.net has problems.

On a different matter, I've finished watching Crusade today. As the last three episoded I watched (somewhat out of order) didn't have Galen in them, I found them utter crap. If you think Start Trek is recycling story plots, you should see Crusade once. The show only lasted 13 episodes, but they've used up every over-used cliché in the books.

I also re-watched the B5 episode Geometry of Shadows from Season 2 (it's the 25th episode of the show), for the first appearance of the techno-mages. Well, good old Michael Ansara has a lot of presence as Elric, but he could not come near to Galen.

I think I'll write a Galen ficlet some day, a short vignette following The Memory of War. That was his great episode, the very best, IMO. But I might not be realistic when it comes to Galen.


Other than that, I'm still sick like a dog. Still not sick enough not to go to work, though, so it's even more annoying.

Thorongil? You mean Thranduil, don't you?

As for the shitty school carnival, it was two weeks ago. We have other joys now. And yes, feeling better would be definitely preferable. To stay at home, I have to be very sick - happens once in five or six years, usually - and that's just not worth it.

No, Thorongil is the means by which Thranduil and others will travel - I figure a giant eagle is more suitable transportation for Elves than a modern jet.

As for the carnival, well, no wonder you're sick. It sounds like enough work with no extra compensation to send anyone's immune system down the toilet. Glad to hear that particular bit of joy has passed for the year.

Off to the Post Office with a little package of Preciousesss tomorrow, now I have the Nice Writer Lady's addressssssss. I meant to send the prezzie earlier this week, but I have been in and out at some weird hours while the Beloved works the extra hours that happen when no one has completed all the plans for a complicated piece of scenery, and so things must be rebuilt, over and over. Ironically, the play itself is a farce - so perhaps the process of building the set is just echoing that approach....

Oh, I see. Eagle Airline, Ltd. Well, that would have taken care of the whole Ringbearer business a lot faster, too. :))

Looking forwad to Precioussesssss. I hope you'll have more luck with mailing than poor Ithilwen had. She's posted the Earthsea books for me what? Three weeks ago? They are still in the black pits of mailing service somewhere.
