The plot thickens. I like how you manage to create consistent facilities. I would like a "drabble" about the boot camp too.
And I look forward the guerillo-marines wargame!

Careful how you use 'wargame' -- this is strategizing, not fun-and-games kind of wargaming. ;)

Glad you liked.

More Q-verse \o/. I've recently re-read the lot (and I can now officially pinpoint the two bits that will induce the tears every damn time), but this one is a lighter chapter with some great humour, and my favourite parts: Senior command getting their game on :D

As always, thank you.

One of them is Yoni being a secret softy, but what's the other?

I'm trying to keep it light, but as people keep pointing out, it's apocafic and I can only cram so much levity into a story with billions of casualties. For now, though, if it's working, yay me. :)

Many thanks.

Also Yoni related: In Interregnum post the news that Jerusalem was hit, to the end of that part --

Finally, Yoni zips up his kit and stows it in his ruck and they're ready to go. They're almost at the door when Suarez speaks.

"We'd have been sorry whoever it was, Doc," he says.

Everyone freezes.

"I know," Yoni finally says with a sad smile that doesn't reach his eyes. "Thank you."

Definately yay you :)

*beams* I will totally admit to be pleased that it's the OCs.

(About the only time I got wibbly writing was in Status Quo Ante and Reletti was talking to his mom about playing along. But I have a lot more vested in these fellows than anyone else and my mileage may vary.)

Ooh. Loved the layers in the discussions, and how you're setting up the pins.

miss_porcupine October 18 2009, 20:01:33 UTC

I quite enjoy the pin-setting. How the hell I'm going to knock them down is what scares me to death.

Thanks. :)

There has been much flailing (of the IM'ing kind) between my sister and I over this update. There is a reason I avoid reading WIP's. ::sigh::
Now I'm going to re-read it (and probably the entire opus-to-date) several times, worry about the characters and wait impatiently for the other boot to drop.

Wonderful as always. I do appreciate the small amusing bits you blend in that keep it from being too angst-ridden and depressing. Thanks, and I hope you have plenty of writing time for writing in the near future.

It's sort of hilarious now, but this was never intended to be a WIP. I totally expected to finish this story in time for the challenge deadline and only reluctantly called a pause after Chapter Eight because I'd run out of time.

My beta readers, who have been with me since my X-Men days, don't even bother hiding their laughter at my inability to properly judge scale. There is a loose outline for QH and it ends at Chapter 15. Needless to say, it has been superseded as a guiding document.

bratfarrar October 19 2009, 12:44:22 UTC

Oh how I love this story. Which is, I know, more or less what I say every time you come out with a new chapter, but it remains true.

miss_porcupine October 19 2009, 14:43:32 UTC

It remains good to hear. :)

Thank you.
