For those who are interested...

I have posted another chapter of "The Empire's Destiny" on my website
The Hope of the Empire
It is the tenth, while on fanfiction.net we are already at the twenty ninth.

I love the art, Asso!

I'm delighted, Alelou.

That's a great picture, Asso.

Thanks!

I went to see my orthopedist today. They took the cast off and put me in a CAM walker boot. The boot is a clunky gray monstrosity, but it has the big advantages that I can take it off at night and to take a shower. Also he let me go from non-weight bearing (right foot doesn't touch floor when I walk) to partial weight bearing (use both feet when I walk but support half my weight on the crutches). Walking that way is much easier. I'm supposed to do that for the next six weeks. My right leg isn't happy yet with not having the protection of the cast and having to bear weight, but that should get better soon.

I still need to keep my foot elevated which makes working at the computer a challenge. Despite that, I've done at least a little writing every day for the last ten days or so. It's slow progress with the ankle and with the writing,but I seem to be going in the right direction.

Glad to hear things are improving Cap'n Frances.

I'm sure we must have discussed this in the past, but I wonder what makes us ship tv couples? Why do some people see or want romance between couples when others don't? I wonder now because my daughter currently ships a potential male couple. I enjoy their relationship and would be okay with whatever direction the writers decide to go with it, but I am not shipping it. I don't quite see what she does. Well, yet anyway...It's interesting to think about, though.

Eirann,

I've finally solved my Authonomy problem and downloaded your book as a Kindle book. I'm on chapter 27 so far and I'm enjoying it.

Cap'n Frances

I hope you realize it's only half of the book ... I thought I'd gauge reaction before I put the whole thing on!

Anyway thanks for letting me know you're enjoying it so far. One or two people have liked it, but I've got a few helpful suggestions for improvement. One or two people have said the whole thing needs to start somewhere else, but I'm afraid I'm digging my heels in on that one!

[Cap'n Frances]

Fortunately I did notice before I started that it was only the first half. If I hadn't, I would have been very frustrated. I'm Looking forward to you getting it published so I can read the rest.

I "backed the book" and made a few comments in the review. I hope they're helpful. One thing I didn't mention on Authonomy was that I appreciated the Star Trek references, both the explicit one and what I took to be some more subtle references to Enterrpise.

I'm impressed when anyone finishes a novel. You've not only finisjphed one, but created one that is very well written and fun to read. I hope you find a publisher soon.

If I can ...
Shouldn't one think that there is some problem if, in a website consecrated to fanfiction dedicated to Trip and T'Pol, the last published piece is dated June 30, 2014?
It is a great pity.
TriaxianSilk is history!

[Cogito]

It is a great shame that there aren't more stories, but I hate the thought of Triaxian Silk being abandoned. Unfortunately I'm as guilty as anyone - none of my works-in-progress are ready to be published and they're all progressing *extremely* slowly, so I don't expect to publish anything soon, but I will get there eventually. It's some consolation to know that Enterprise stories still come up at fanfiction.net.
