Dropping in to say yes, I'm alive! I promise I will catch up on comments, friends list, etc. I'll even provide a Spliced ficlet shortly.

What have I been up to? Besides the usual (boring) work stuff and some traveling which have kept me busy, I also still can't not write something, so I've been working on a new story the past few months.


M/m, and surprise, slavefic lol. It takes place in the Spliced universe. I initially thought it would be a simpler sort of story, one I could get done quickly and move on with. Hah, silly me. I don't write those! It's not Spliced level of insanity, but I'll just say the characters have shown me they have a few issues to be worked out, ahem.

Anyways, I'm over 50K into this story, and I'd roughly guess I'm about halfway done. Overall I'm happy with how it's going so far.

How's everyone else doing? Hope you're having a great summer/winter so far.

Where do you get your writing energy, and could I get it there too? :-D

It does sound interesting! I just commented over at Catana1's LJ that I'm fascinated by writers who manages to create an interesting universe that they return to for a lot of different stories. I can't seem to do that. Usually when I end a story I never return to either those specific characters or that world... On the other hand I always return to the same themes, so... But still! I sometimes almost gets a bit jealous, I want that special world too! :-)

Sometimes I suspect she's a machine :)

And you have plenty of special worlds, don't worry :)

Aha, that must be it! She's Data!!!! :-D

Yeah, but, not in the same way... kinda...

Lol, I'd be more than happy to share it. Sadly it's more the lack of time that afflicts my progress... so many things to do, so little time. :(

It's not normally something I do either, the Spliced verse is the only exception for me. The fact that I created a universe with about a dozen planets certainly helps, as it gives me lots of room to play in. I can't possibly flesh out all those worlds in one story, so it gives me the opportunity to write other stories doing so.

I'm really enjoying this new story. Sigh. Yet another slaveboy has wormed his way into my heart. They are shameless, I tell you, these boys! >:O

I know... A life time is waaaay to short :-(

Well, it's a grand exception! That's true, you can easily explain vastly different cultures within the same universe that way.

They are little sneaky bastards ;-D They need a very thorough spanking... all of them!! :-D

Sigh, you are such a sadist! Believe me, this one really doesnt need it (or want it)! as opposed to some that need it and want it and are trying to fight the need...

Aww, but I can't know that, I haven't read it yet :-)
