The Road to Hell

Paving the highway to hell. Well, that didn't last! 1 short, 999 to go, and I won't even be able to get back to it anytime soon. The reason why? NaNoWriMo. I'm going to take 6DegreesofZ to 50,000 words. I. Am. Crazy. But, the other reason why I haven't posted 1000 shorts? I've been working on some epic Trek fanfiction. Well, maybe not epic as in GOOD, but it is starting to add up.

Mene Mene Tekel uPharsin: This is a nuTrek story set on Tarsus IV with some classic characters. Also, CumberKhan is not in this version, so perhaps it is now AU... Sorry, I just don't care for the character from ST:ID. Really, truly disappointed. Cumberbatch played a really good augment, but he was no Khan. (Sorry for the rant.) Anyway, this project is on hold as I need a beta reader who is familiar with The Eugenics Wars and Space Seed, to make sure I keep Khan true to form. This work is currently at 15,000 words.

Shadows of Time series (trilogy?)
Peace of Centaurus (40,000 words): Friendship/Romance. Boy gets divorce. Boy meets Girl. Bad timing, that. Boy's CO insists Boy AND Girl go to Centaurus. Hijinks ensue. Ups. Downs. Sacrifices. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll kiss your freetime goodbye.

No More Tomorrows (WIP, 9,000 words): Archer is Quantum Leaping thanks to Agent Daniels, in order to correct the future timeline. More hijinks. More Riley. Yay.

Future projects:
Extras: What the minor characters are doing during nuTrek movies. *SIGH* I don't see this coming along until the new year sometime.

Early Voyages, Issue #18 (No title, yet): I really want to tie up the cliffhanger we were left with from this series. It's also a chance to face my teenage dream from the early 90s of drawing a comicbook. I hope it will be enjoyable to read AND look at. Kind of scary! :D ...I'm looking at this being my next project after NaNoWriMo.
