Distant Relations -- Master Post
Welcome!
After a bout of formatting angst from Live Journal, my entry is ready.
My entry in this year's STBB is a sequal to last year's
I want to give an extra special Thank You to my beta,xiasangli. Her suggestions and encouragement were key in the development of this story. I also want to give many thanks to both the artist, enkanowen, and fanmixer, civilbloodshed. It takes all ( Read more... ) -
Dreams -- Chapter Four
Chapter Four
In the middle of the night
I go waling in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
It can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
- from River of Dreams, sung by Billy Joel
As the small freighter sped through space, Ch'ler relaxed in one of the two pilot's chairs. It was ( Read more... ) -
Dreams -- Chapter Three
“The best place to hide something is in plain view for seekers are always looking elsewhere.”
- one of the founding members of the Path of Lis.
Ch'ler led the way through the streets to the bar he had visited the night before. The bluish light of the street lamps augmented the soft blue of Thirat's large, full moon, making things appear as twilight ( Read more... ) -
Dreams - Chapter Two
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I 'd never lose
Something somebody stole
-from River of Dreams, sung by Billy Joel.
Ch'ler woke with a start. He threw off the bed coverings, not wanting them to touch the parts of his skin ( Read more... ) -

Even though I skipped this year's Star Trek Big Bang, I have been writing in my own little ST:AOS universe. I am happy to present Dreams.
Chapter One
Color of sky
Taste that pleases the gods.

Tamas Rai'aelvir sat in his office eying the bottle in his right hand with ( Read more... ) -
Thoughts on the v'tosh ka'tur
The v'tosh ka'tur (Vulcans without logic) made their first canon appearance in the ENT episode Fusion. The name means "Vulcans without logic" and by T'Pol's reaction to them, v'tosh ka'tur are very much outside of mainstream of Vulcan society. So much so that the crew of the Valkis felt they needed to get off the planet to investigate their ideas ( Read more... ) -
More thoughts on offworld Vulcans.
Last post, I speculated on a reason Vulcans might not have numerous colonies -- philopatry. After some thought, another reason came to me. Vulcans might be a species which does not see a big value in planetary colonization. Just because some humans want to colonize as many planets as possible does not mean that a non-human species shares the ( Read more... ) -
Research, research, research.....
Sometimes I think doing the research is almost as much fun as writing the story, but I need to get writing ( Read more... ) -
Revisions, revsions, revisions...
Over the past two years of participating in the Star Trek Big Bang, my writing style has changed for the better. When I look at my first foray into ST:AOS fanfic, Adaptation, I cringe. So....time for a major revision! That's my goal this summer. Fix the mess and bring it into line with Dustant Relations and the unpublished (yet) spin-of stories
