( Apollo did let go of Starbuck’s hand and stood by the bulkhead, watching every move. Salik and his team were working furiously, the monitors beeping and grating on Apollo’s nerves. )

This chapter can also be read on AO3.

March was a pretty busy month for posting! :)

I've been pretty excited the past week or so as I'm on the final edit of my professional manuscript. Whoo hoo! I was doing a final edit to catch typos and grammar mistakes and to add more details in, since this novel takes place in the past. I wasn't satisfied with the environment I'd created, so I figured a run-through would be a good thing.

It was! I caught a clue I'd dropped into the story but didn't do anything with, so now I have to decide if it fits into the narrative or just delete it. And my policeman character was mentioned as a detective in an early chapter but a patrolman in later chapters. Which one do I keep? I'm leaning toward patrolman so that he could do something dashing in a future novel to earn his promotion. Oh, did I mention this first novel is the first of a planned series? Maybe I'll never get it published, but I have ideas! :)

My fanfic writing has hit the valley in the peaks-and-valley landscape, so I decided to peruse my notebooks and dig out some old stories that for various reasons hadn't been posted. I will be presenting an oldie-but-goodie like Public Enemies, more stories from Battlestar: Galactica: TOS, and I'm finally polishing a draft I wrote soon after watching The Alienist last year. So there's all that, and a few short pieces that are new.

Mostly in the evenings I've been reading or watching YouTube videos. Periodically I like to delve into the JFK assassination and discover if anything new has been added, or if old info is presented in a new way. I'll probably be making some posts on that. We're living in the aftermath of a blatant coup d'etat that was carried out on November 22, 1963, and it isn't pretty, folks.

February was a fairly busy month with a variety of stories. :)

April was a very quiet month. While writing occurred, posting was minimal as RL kept getting in the way. We'll see what May brings. :)

Hi, guys! Going through my old notebooks has me pondering some old stories that I want to whip into shape and eventually post! :) Some are already written, others are just ideas right now. My Muses will dictate what gets posted, but I'd like to know if I'll be writing just for myself or at least one or two other people as these are non-DC Comics fandoms. :)

The fandoms break down like this in the poll:

Public Enemies (4) Note: the first story features Mel/Johnny and Teddy/Chuck as pairings from their respective fandoms
Emergency! (3)
Battlestar Galactica: TOS (3)

Happy voting! :)

I’m going to rec some non-DC stuff tonight. Yes, there will be E! included. ;) However, I have another fandom that is well worth the rec. I know that sometimes I’m in the mood for something beyond my usual reading, and when someone whose tastes match mine and whom I trust recs something new, I click it on for at least a peek. Hopefully my recc’ing skills can pique some curiosity! These stories are exquisite slash and gen (but are what I call emotional slash) with a nice, spooky piece included! ;)

( Apollo flew through the air, his body as limp as a rag doll as he hit the ground in a puff of smoke, the smell of cordite strong in the alien air. )
