I can help. I have limited research knowledge but I'm usually really good at research as most people in my family come to me for research. So I'm up for all and any help you might needs.
I'll email you later (or tomorrow) with the jumble of notes and ideas I have so far. I'm just so useless at research I can never find anything, and this is a serious piece (possibly several chapters) rather than my usual fluff and humour It has the potential to be quite dark in places.
owensheart helped me bounce some ideas around, but there's still work needed before the writing can even start.
I was massively behind with everything yesterday but hopefully I'll be able to send you some basic info to start with at some point today (I also have a pile of betaing to do at the moment so it's a juggling act fitting things in). There are a lot of details that need working out, I think I'll send a text doc by email with the basic plot and a list of some of the things that need figuring out before writing can start. tardisjournal has offered to help out too if we need it, she does already know some of the basics because I was talking to her about it last year, but I keep changing things.
Eeep, I hope so, it's so far outside my comfort zone I'm panicking at the very thought! I'm not exactly known for writing darkish and dramatic, with a plot, lol!
Yup! That's why I waited until today to advertise. there will be other fics and drabbles written and posted while this is being worked on, I have no idea if it will be a oneshot or several chapters. just have to see what happens once writing is underway. First I need to work out some details and get some facts straight, then it will have to be loosely plotted...
Oh, yay! I'm excited that this is getting underway.
If you guys need any additional help, let me know! I enjoy researching, and my partner works as a medical records coder so she's a good person to ask about medical terms, drugs, and whatnot.
You know the basics already, so any input would be welcome, I'm sure iantojjackh won't object to an extra brain or two in the mix. And that sounds like a mad scientist's experiment. o_O
Anyway, I'll keep you in the loop, I'm so completely out of my depth that I need all the help I can get!
I try to stay away from things like this because 1) my hubby works in R&D for a well-known pharmaceutical co; 2) I'm an ex-nurse; 3) my cousin is a retired RN, a Army veteran and a former writer for another fan group; and 4) people who have written things in the past fandoms sometimes don't research well or take advice on what the human body can/will do, what the body cannot/will not tolerate and don't tolerate criticism very well
( ... )
Thanks a lot! When we get things pinned down a little, I'd love it if I could PM you and ask if we're going in the right direction, or at least a believable direction. I want to get this as plausible as possible, considering it'll be using alien technology that probably doesnt exist, lol!
It's just Live Journal's private messaging system, you can set things up so any PMs get sent to your email address with a link to take you to your LJ mail box so you can reply. If comment replies get sent to your email address there's a good chance PMs would too.

My job does deal with some medical stuff so that might be able to help.

This is a scary prospect though, writing serious stuff instead of humour and fluff o_O
