Okey dokey, let's see if this works, first time I ever posted an image on this board.

Damn...still doesnt work... Try downloading the pic and uploading to a server and then save it as a .txt document NOT a .jpg or a .gif. If that doesn't work, you can send the pic to me via email at jairyn_1@yahoo.com or thru AIM at pcgallegos and I'll be happy to host it and put it up for you.

That URL leads to your homepage on Yahoo.com, not the image itself. In order to link to the image itself, you must copy and paste the content of the IMG SRC tag when you view the source code of the page. I fixed it for you.

EDIT: Yahoo is quite clever; they have an access code on their links which changes every few hours, so the link worked at first, but then stopped working. I copied the image to my webhost and linked to it there, so it works again.

Many thanks Lord Wong. I apologize for even thinking about writing you as a partisan for the Federation.

That kind of surprised me, in fact.

I can give away the surprise on that one since I have vowed not to put any board members in Star Crossed -- Wong was going to betray MoO and Bean to the Empire.

All for the glory of the Empire.

Oh, THAT would be worth a fanfic by itself.

I always envy the folks that have started reading it fresh...I hope you like it.

How the hell do you turn out so many chapters so quickly? My fic is progressing pretty slowly, to me at least. It's 3 chapters and almost 30 pages.

Post by **Darth Wong** » 2002-11-06 12:24am

Are you kidding? I've had the framework of another fic in my head for the past year, but I don't have time to write it. I'm still sitting at zero pages

Writing for me has always been pretty quick. It's the editing and revising that takes time.

Really? Any plans on giving us a peek at the plot?

Stravo · Post by **Stravo** » 2002-11-06 12:30am

It's all a matter of timing. The whole saga is in my head like a movie, I even replay favorite scenes in my head, that helps editing since I've already cut out extraneous crap by thinking about it. Then I just sit down and let it all out. I could probably write out the entire Star Crossed saga in about a week if I were so inclined, but I'm not

Wong, that would be cool to see you write another fic. Yours is the one that inspired me to even write one.

Oh, I do.

Did you also miss what I was hinting at in my last post?

I'll just say this: it's not a sequel to "Conquest". It's a whole separate story. Sequels are difficult to write, particularly if the original story was envisioned as a complete tale (you don't want to try to drag something out that was originally meant to stop). There are a few loose ends in "Conquest", but they were left dangling just to leave a sense of an open future, not to segue into another fanfic.

Stravo · Post by **Stravo** » 2002-11-06 12:35am

Sorry XaLEv....I just got it and Thank you!!

I figured as much. But I was really interested in seeing another fic of yours. Would it be another cross over?

I forgot to mention that this is the third rewrite of the fic over the course of almost 2 years. Not to mention that I just got an overarching plot framework in place a few months ago.

Well, we've hijacked this thread quite nicely, haven't we?

All goes according to plan

though not mine in this case
