What's Being Written Right Now?

Post-FSA: The Chains of Error: FSA/Gibraltar crossover novel

Now playing at Ad Astra!

Summary: Stardate 54310.98: A very attractive Commander arrives at Starbase 375 near the Cardassian border to assume custody of a very dangerous prisoner... all by herself. They depart together in the runabout Sacramento; sixteen hours into their trip, they come under attack by the Maquis.

Stardate 54311.8: The starship USS Gibraltar, while en route to a Federation convoy to the Rudyard Colonies, is diverted by the distress signal of the runabout Sacramento. Upon arrival, they find the runabout destroyed and an encrypted beacon points the way toward an escape pod. Now, Captain Sandhurst and his new executive officer, T'Ser, must deal with the formidable presence of Commander Ariel Elannis, and her prisoner, former Starfleet Captain Sabrina Diaz.

Season One, Episode #8: Fever Five: Stardate 43409.47 (May 4, 2366) [TNG Season 3, between "The Price," and "The Vengeance Factor"]

I haven't updated the top post in this thread, yet, because nothing's change, but here's what's going on with me:

- I worked about 60 hours a week on Obama's campaian.
- Subsequently, I moved to a new house.
- Then, I had GoDaddy pull the rug out from under me unexpectedly.  This is documented in another thread within this board.
- It took a while to get the STFSA.net site back online because Drupal is a pain to move from one server to another.  It is currently online right now: http://www.stfsa.net
- I'm working pretty much 10-12 hour days due to an increase in workload, thanks to being 5 guys down in the department.  This means I'm having to shoulder my regular workload and the workload of at least 1.5-2 other guys to help out.
- I'm left with little desire to write.

Therefore, I haven't touched FSA in months because of all this.

There is good news:

- I recently started helping out Ad Astra's fanfic archive on the technical side of things.  http://www.adastrafanfic.com
- Due to this, my exposure to fanfic has increased (though I sparingly read any of it).
- I've been trying to find /something/ to write, FSA or non-FSA, just to get the wheels turning and grab onto that momentum.
- I recently plugged in 2k worth of the word into The Sacrifice of Agamemnon (The Quarterdeck Breed novel).

In short, I'm writing.  I'm going to see if I can ride that momentum into FSA before too long, and I will update here as much as possible.

Good luck with that.  I hope the situation improves on the work-front.

60 hours a week volunteering? .... 12 hour regular work day?

I feel proud if I work straight for like 5 hours ... and even that's a chore (to be fair, I am a lazy bastard) 

Hope things settle down for you soon.

Well, I wanted to make sure Obama got elected.  I didn't want to be on the crappy side of election night, while the winning side was cheering and I was at home cursing myself for not getting involved.

Posted the final version of Eight the Hard Way's teaser and first act to Ad Astra.

I think I'm done with TrekBBS, to be honest.  I haven't visited there in a really long time and have been sticking to UT and Ad Astra mostly.

Episode #8's teaser and act one are complete, however, I cannot post them to Ad Astra because I don't have a title for it, yet.  Hopefully, this will be resolved, soon.
