Happy New Year
Well I had meant to do this last evening, but I managed to lock myself out and ended up waiting ages in the rain for my next door neighbour to come home so that I could borrow a step ladder and squeeze over a very damp and messy narrow gap in the pots on the wall to get into the courtyard. The back door was open thankfully - I hate to think what a locksmith would have charged me that time on New Years Eve. Of course if the back door hadn't been open then the front door wouldn't have slammed shut on me.... Upset plans for the evening a little.
Anyway, I wish every one a happy new year and hope that 2012 is kind to them.

I&R 4 chapter 8
Hope everyone had a good holiday - those that had them.
Still trying to get back into the flow of things and I had two versions of this chapter, but I have decided to go with this one. Now I'm not sure its right choice but hey ho...
Blake reflects on going wrong and Avon, Jenna and Vila have a heart to heart and Servalan is not quite herself.
About as close to angst as I can ever get myself.

30 years on
OK its been so long that I nearly forgot my password!
It's been a difficult couple of years but then I'm in good company I suppose. Some things are sort of sorted now so maybe I'll have time and energy to finish a few things I actually want to do - like write. Anyway, I have a holiday, a paid holiday! A very strange concept to me. Time that I don't need to feel guilty in taking, its been a while since there was any of that.
So I was looking at Lysator and there was a comment about it being 30 years since GP was first broadcast. This popped into my head pretty much straight away and for once I had some time to do something about it. Not particularly polished but if I put it on one side to do that I may never get around to finishing it, so apologies for the ragged edges. My take on 30 years after because I don't believe that pain lasts for ever.
Hope I can still make the cut work - sorry if I don't.

[Link] | Time, time, time, where does it go? Everything seems to be taking so long these days. I cant really believe that it has taken me this long to do this much. Two hours plus driving a day doesn't help but even so....
Anyway, here is the next chapter of this particular saga. A little angst, a little introspection, and not a lot of action. Action will return, as will the more sci fi elements, soon. But characters will have their way.
All the usual disclaimers - belongs to who the law says it does and only some if it is mine.

Illusions and Realities 4 chapter 7, this time it really is
The new year has started in a rather uneasy way. Not only has it been very cold, 3 layer cold, which always makes me miserable, but my whiplash doesn't seem to be getting that much better. New project/job starting next week too, and I'm not totally sure I'm doing the right thing about this one, but only time will tell. It's also been the anniversary of my mothers death, a year ago and where has the time gone I want to know. I've not had much time to think about it until now and I find myself spending too much time in the past as a result.
Of course B7 fits the mood very well, and with so many people rising up to throw off dictators at the moment the issues are far from dated. So another chapter, again reflecting on the long shadows of the past and the difficulties of the present.
All the usual disclaimere, mostly not mine and no profit etc etc.

How it was
I didn't get to join in the rewatch community here when it was happening, but I've just read the bits about the last ep. For me those last minutes have always been neither tragic nor satisfying, but plain wrong. Discordant. I dislike it on many levels, not least the fact that nothing, but nothing, hangs together, but its worst failing is that it is psychologically wrong.
Now, for me, that is the kiss of death for any dramatic venture. I will allow writers to be many things in pursuit of effect but psychologically wrong is unforgivable. I abandoned most soaps long ago for being so and found the DW/Rose arcs pitiable for the same reason. If you don't have any understanding of real human psychology, rather than romantic or tragic gorging, someone like the BBC should not be using my money to pay you to parade your deficiency.
Dismount hobby horse.
Anyway, for some reason this variant of the ending (much more likely for the 'real' people I contend) popped into my head. So another anniversary side step.
Usual disclaimer, characters or universe not mine and not claimed

Illusions and Realities: Part One - Perceptions
Disclaimer: Belongs to who the law says it does,and I'm content with that. No profit made but a lot of fun all the same.
Having being asked to provide links to part 1/2/3 I realised that I have never posted this here. It is at Hip Deep in Heros but as my site is still down for the moment I thought maybe I'd post it here too. Or at least start to...
This was not only my first fan story but also the first piece of fiction I had written since school, so make allowances people please. I began it in 2002 at a time of some sadness and finished the 3rd part in early 2007.
It all began as as the way of writing away the bad taste left by the hijacking of what had been a remarkably grownup piece of prime time whole family orientated science fiction complete with strong female characters ( proves it can be done) and its transformation into a piece of comic book teenage boy orientated rubbish. It was only intended to be a few thousand words long but I got caught up in the ideas and the 3 part arc is close on 500K words. The title means what it says and the whole could be sub titled 'what you see is not always what is there'. Each series ended on a cliff hanger that was in some linked to just that idea and. I believe that series 4 would have been nothing more than that, therefore this is not, in my view, an AU but a straight continuation of canon.

Back to the saga: Illusions and Realities part 4 chapter 7
This chapter is getting way to long so I've decided to split it.
All the usual disclaimers, belongs to who the law says it does and much of it isn't mine, I'm just flirting with it.
Be warned: Safe for most but though there is nothing graphic there are some adult themes referenced.
In this chapter Blake and the rebel commanders are faced with an unlooked for moral dilema, and we discover a little more about Jenna's attitude to Avon.

Happy Christmas
Some of us have had it already, but some of us are still waiting (and running around like things demented if they are like me). Why am I never ready?
If it has passed for you I hope it was good, if it's still to come for you I hope it is good
