That's really nice of you to consider me, but shouldn't we support Mich right now?

Not My fault if you need to slot more acc in the power!

Seriously though the hellions I was having him shoot at were just not cooperating with me. They would either run away or or die before I could get the shot. I compromised and took what I could get. I, unlike Mich, do not have the knowledge or awesome demo editing skills to make the shots do what I want.

I agree but some people strive for that kind of thing... I don't understand it but then again I never understood Jello and people seem to like that too.

For those of you who don't follow Michelle's twitter....

She got useful, good stuff at the con for the story - and one case of a nasty respiratory infection.

She is also, unfortunately, still not employed, and that's stressing her a bit (as it does everyone who wants and needs to work).

I'm pretty sure she'd appreciate any good thoughts you'd like to send her way.

Find a job that leaves you with the capability to think while you work.

My job involves a lot of tedious digging. It lets me free my mind to wander about what I want to write.

My Stories

Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.

FINALLY! A new chapter of nerd flirting is now available to my loyal readers (at least, those of you who've stuck around this long)...

Sorry to make you wait, but there's an additional bonus in this chapter's post!

Well, there's too much overlap between what the Phalanx needs to know and what the Patrol does.

Looks like that "professional separation" thing ain't gunna work this time...

There is no such thing as an "innocent bystander"

As far as the professional separation thing goes, you know what they say...

"The best laid plans of nerds and men..."

As for the overlap, well, that's just for now.

Definitely well worth the wait.


And I believe there's enough staff in the Patrol to run interference with the information.

I know it's Mich's story still like to see more members of the Star Patrol and the Nova Dominion.

Maybe D_R can answer this for me.

If Freedom Corps was founded by Statey and Star Patrol is a division of Freedom Corps, much like Longbow, whats the relationship between States and Star Patrol or even Freedom Corps?

Longbow, of course being Ms. Lib's gig.

Want to see more members of the Patrol and the ND? Stay tuned... a LOT more of both factions are going to be showing up soon.

Re: the Freedom Corps, it was established by Miss Liberty and Statesman, in order to "facilitate communication and coordination between superheroes." Longbow was founded by Ms. Liberty, the Star Patrol was founded by Bowman, along with Wright, Sharpe, Blake, and McTavish.

As Miss Liberty is presumably still alive (given Ms. Liberty's relatively young age), she is presumably still overseeing the Freedom Corps. Statesman's relationship with the general Corps is good... with Longbow, is rather strained, and with the Star Patrol, on generally good terms... for now.

If, however, the Patrol as a whole were to cross a line (*evil grin*), Statesman might be well within his limits to insist they clean up their act, or else demand their resignations from the Corps.

Does that help?

So what you are saying is ultimately those of us in the Patrol answer to Statesman's Daughter? o.0

Dude, Way to go Bowman.. I of course refer to the meeting between Star Patrol and the Phalanx.

Quote:

"Not to mention that the MistWalkers got Statesman to agree to compromise his principles, due to their past history."

At that, Statesman flinched, and everyone turned to look at him. "That's not true!"

"No?" Bowman asked softly. "If and when you deliver the wrongdoers to the MistWalkers, it doesn't make you any less culpable for their deaths, just because you're not doing the deed yourself."

Raymond and the other Phalanx members were horrified to see all the blood drain out of Statesman's face as he sank back into his seat.

"Yes," Sorina said quietly, and Raymond shivered at the eerie hopelessness in her voice. "Now you understand what we in the Star Patrol face, Statesman. When the Nova Dominion targets you, there's no right and wrong anymore... there's only how much wrong you're willing to live with."
(clang, clang) guess what that is.

FYI... Andrea Blake makes a cameo in my latest AE arc "For All the Wrong Reasons" (Arc ID 351572). I wonder what Synapse will think of her if he ever finds out about it...

I'll have to give that Arc a run through...

Okay, a couple notes here:

1) I'm so glad I finally stumbled upon this story again, random post by D_R and her link in the sig :P. The migration to the new boards had me entirely lost. Now I can actually pick up on the events. Read the up chapters of part II. As usually, great and awesome work. Can't wait for more!

2) Both the PDF link you posted a few pages ago, and the Scribd link have problems in them. The PDF link returns a "Page not found" error, while the Scribd link won't allow me to shuffle pages at all. So I'm stuck looking at the cover page without heing able to actually read the book. I want to link this on my SG's site, but would rather wait till either of those two is up and fucntional. Or if I'm doing something wrong, please tell me
EDIT: More testing, apparently the Sribd problem only happens when I go into full screen mode (It stays even after I go out of fullscreen). It works properly if I don't touch full screen mode...any advice?

3) I'm so sorry to hear about your job D_R. I know how it feels, especially at times like this. You have my best wishes. Hope you find a new better one soon enough

Welcome back!

The link to the PDF was pointing to my website's old domain - it has now been updated! (Incidentally, the new page is at http://www.samuraiko.com/Other_Fan_Fiction.html - if you have links that reference "samuraikoproductions.com", just remove the "productions" and you're golden.) Now you can download the full PDF and enjoy!

Also, if you're going to post a link, please post the link to the "Other Fan Fiction" page, rather than to the story itself - this allows me to track visitors and downloads.

No idea about Scribd, it's a script thing, I think. Grrrrr.

And yes, the job situation is REALLY getting annoying, but I continue to strive!
