When the old is made new...list of my fics

[lylo369]

Okay...so I am ATTEMPTING to get my muse back, and thus I have gone back and started re-working some of my old fics. I don't have a lot of them on fanfiction.net as the majority of them were done while I was part of a Picard/Crusher Star Trek writer's group, but some of them were intriguing enough to bring over and I hope to modify them too.

Awh, how great is this! Just today at lunch I was telling myself that I needed to get on here and ask you where some of your writing was because I wanted to read some. :)

Afraid I can't offer much in exchange that's still online. I took all the Mirrani stuff down some time after 1999 and I haven't gotten nearly enough of the Broken Bow project done, so it's not posted... Most of my fic got lost when Hex, my oldest desktop died. I've got it all on a zip drive (I think), but I need to get that drive plugged in to something in order to reach it. :p

So I leave you with my somewhat popular paragraph to hot chocolate...

Marshmallow Hell
Oh what a torment to be a marshmallow! Lost in the depths of the deep darkness of swirling cocoa powder and hot, microwaved milk, the marshmallow fights to remain at the surface, where the cooler air will promise relief from the burning steam of the chocolate hell it has found itself in... Gradually, as if every tiny particle of its existence is suddenly unimportant, the cocoa eats away at the marshmallow’s very being, dissolving each edge with the cruelty only hot chocolate can possess. Slowly, painfully so, the white of the marshmallow’s body is pulled microscopically from itself, forced to become one with the churning liquid that has engulfed it. With the steaming swirls spiraling around the outer body of the marshmallow, it finds itself in marshmallow hell. Oh the woes of hating chocolate and ending up in marshmallow hell.

LOL!!!! Oh, I have had days when I have felt like that marshmallow! lol...
And my stuff is amateurish, of course, being that my inner city education has left me wanting, but I think it has a lot of heart and tries to stick to the spirit of the characters I write. I am a mushy shipper of sorts, so that is what I do.

Oh god, my Mirrani stuff was horrible... In part because I was young when I wrote it, in part because I'm not very good in the first place... and in part because it began as a writing assignment in school and I only had an hour to work on it a day. I can't write like that. I need to write until I drop. :)

Then again, the same teacher I wrote the above for also had /another/ DS9 story turned in to her and she threatened me upon pain of death to turn the thing in to the producers to be a script... this was back when they were still doing it. I was too slow. Didn't happen...

I think my favorite older fic was a crossover I did with DS9 and a show called ReBoot (don't know if you know it) that was popular on ABC for a few years as a Saturday Morning cartoon. ReBoot is a computer show, taking place inside a computer. Game cubes (that look like holodecks) fall in to the city and the citizens have to play the game and win to survive... The main character looks a hell of a lot like Kira.. (and the bad guys behave a hell of a lot like Dukat and the Intendant) only she's green, so I had them meet up in a game (through holosuite malfunction) and they went off (with others) to win this game.. but it kept taking them through the worlds of DragonHeart and NeverEnding Story... and so many other places. /That/ was a touchy-feely kind of thing, just bowing down to everything I loved. I was so psyched that I had found a way to include everything. Some day I'll get that back and revise it and post it... and maybe include the Doctor and River, just for you. :)

My very empty, still being worked on site is http://home.earthlink.net/~mirrani/ and I would love to put you on the friends page there for the fanfic stuff... if you're interested. :)

All right, you're up there. :) If you'd prefer a different link than the fanfiction.net one, let me know. :) Same if you want me to change anything else, of course.
