I mentioned this in our PM, but I have to mention again how much I love Jimmy and Aurora's interactions in this section. Their conversation is such a reflection of a Jimmy/Cindy discussion (discussion/argument/whatever, lol). It just goes to show that Aurora was once truly Cindy - kudos to you, Mara, that you still managed to have that connection apparent this far into things after Aurora has changed so much from her youth.


Hooray! I'm actually having a hard time negotiating the "new DJ", as it were. I'm not quite sure how his character is going to develop from here. As you know, I've written the epilogue, but everything until then is still up in the air. I guess we'll find out what sort of person he is together! ;)

Lee forever remains adorable. I kept waiting for him to come back because he was always a secret favorite. I'm nervous for him and April - I have this inner panic something's going to go wrong and they'll be exposed or something...that would be awful. April's already endured so much. And Lee would stand by her no matter what.


Poor April. All that tragedy was necessary to explore her character a bit more, however. April was pretty one-dimensional until recently...now we see there's other stuff going on that she keeps hidden under the surface. Lee was such a surprise to me...I was kinda "meh" about him at first, but he slowly began to grow into one of my favorite nice-guy type characters. He's so nerdy and sweet. :thumbsup:

A few things to say:

1.) When FJ is describing the struggle between him and DJ over who had control, it reminded me of a schizophrenic.

2.) Two things came to mind when Aurora was...ahem...giving him a taste of his own medicine: THING 1 and THING 2

3.) I'd love to try and draw the scene where present and future Jimmy first lay eyes on each other after well...you know, everything that's gone down.

4.) Lee/April is practically canon now.

5.) Um...there was a number five here. I forgot it though :D

Yeah, DJ is done fighting Aurora, they are in looooove.
I would like to see that btw, actually, I would like to see on the kids get blood on their hands, preferably Jimmy or Cindy :)
Mara, BTW:
Why I said it was like star trek:
erm warning videos, erm...
(Sorry I had to insert /code brackets, it would not let me post so many videos.)
Scanning for life forms:

Hailing other ships: (it's a blooper, but it's supposed to be hailing frequencies, same thing)

Transporters:
Uhh I suppose you probably realize this....
Tractor Beam:

Also:
The Enterprise also has food replicators:

Hyper/Warp Drives:

Most importantly, Chap. 41 played like a Star Trek episode, in fact, it is easy to change a few plot items in the story, name Aurora Kirk and DJ as Khan and get away with it as Star Trek Fanfiction ...

I was inspired by watching STARGATE and Titan A.E., not Star Trek, but it's all kind of mainstream scifi terminology. Those technologies and protocols are present in a ton of space travel stories (although, to be fair, Star Trek did pioneer many of them).

WHOA! Christmas AND TOSOT? Never thought those two would go together. Then again, you are writing it, Mara, so something must've been cooked up in that imagination of yours. ;) :thumbsup:

Well, it's not STRICTLY Xmas-oriented, but you'll have to wait and see. Jessi knows what I'm talking about. Mwahaha.

OMG I love Stargate, but only SG1. Once it went to Atlantis and SGU, I was done. Plus Michael Shanks was totally my first nerd crush.

Hmm, that is a good point, it's just that when I read the lady Jada approaching the(I am not going to attempt to spell this) Nav's ship, I thought "Klingon Bird of Prey".

OMG! Daniel Jackson. A space linguist/Egyptologist with pretty eyes and glasses? Be still my beating heart! I had such a crush on him when I was a teenager. I even jokingly put him on my Christmas list one year.

wow, 2 new chapters in a row, so quickly!

I really enjoyed "Live Through". I understand Dictator Jimmy's motivations much better now. Also, I was very glad to see Lee again, since he's probably one of my favorites.

Happy Holidays,

Corinne
