Re: Challenge Idea
Uh-oh. Hope I didn't scare you away with my annoyingly obsessive micro-management.
We'll miss you. I like the chapter you just did. (I got a preview. It's up next. You guys are gonna like it. A LOT. )

Re: Challenge Idea
It wasn't scarry, Distracted. It needed to be said. If I don't find out who I we had destroy Weytahn and why, I might go a little crazy myself....
Though, keeping in mind what one of the reviewrs said of chapter 5 (I can't remember who), I should add we are writing a story, not a list of possible cliff hangers. Not that I'm not enjoying our cliffies, but we do need to do more than create life-or-death situations for our charectors to escape...

Nope. Takes a lot to scare me off, Dis. It's not you or anyone else.
Just got the back-to-school info for my two older autistic kids. Son's going to a brand new school (they moved the program to a different school in the district, farther away), and Elder Daughter (aka Banshee Girl) is going to be partially mainstreamed (i.e. with "normal" kids) part of the day. So I'm going to be up to my eyeballs in teacher meetings, education plan meetings, transportation issues, etc. etc.
Plus there's the possibility of some writing gigs in Sept., Oct. and Nov. (crossing fingers).
So I'm gonna be a bit scarce this fall...though I'm going to finish "Shadows" and its upcoming sequel.

Whoa. Like real writing where you make money and stuff? I'm impressed. And jealous.
Good luck with the mainstreaming. My nephew with Downs has responded really positively to his school's mainstreaming program. I hope things go well.

As I pointed out on my comment, on the first stage of a round robin is somewhat difficult to input answers to all previous open plots. However, I wish to point that if the authors decide to follow on with the idea that the attack, bomb, etc... is a (supposedly) Romulan plot, there is no way to give plain answers (only character's guess). Romulans only were visually detected by the time of TOS, all previous communication was done only by audio. If the story in told (as it is, up to now) from the point of view of Coalition partners, there is no way to know for sure what are the real intentions of the other side. Not all stories include both parties (as done in Babel-Aenar mini arch) narratives.

Re: Challenge Idea
Round Robins are bound to be rocky, for all the various reasons. Everyone just needs to remember to work with what went before and we should be good. Anyway, panyasan and I have been pm-ing about some of this all morning, and I'm confident that some of Distracted's questions will be answered - and mine - in the next chapter.
Speaking of chapters, the order for the next few chapters is (taking into light recent events):
8, Kotik
9, Distracted
10, aadarshinah
11, Enerdhil
12, Ginamr
13, panyasan

Re: Challenge Idea
My internet translator is giving me strange results, so a simple question to all people with Latin language skills: how do you translate "slopes of Andoria" in Latin?
The whole sentence is "Si (slopes of Andoria) requiris circumspice".

Re: Challenge Idea
Looking carefully around the Slopes of Andoria? Declivia Andoriae Cautione Requirit
Had to look back at my latin text for that one to make sure I was using the right ablative. I think that's what you were going for, by the looks of things.

Re: Challenge Idea
I think that's right, but it is "requirunt" (plural), I believe.
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four
And here is the beginning of the whole story.
But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

Re: Challenge Idea
last I heard, quite well...
Re: Challenge Idea
Yeah! In spite of the chaos and business surrounding me this week after my vacation, I managed to make a good start with the chapter. The outline and scenes are developed and I started to write the first scenes. My plan is to sent the chapter to the beta by the end of the week.aadarshinah wrote:last I heard, quite well...
