I've only got one series so far, but if you are here a'lookin':
========================================
Western Skies - A Star Trek XI AU/Fusion Story
Once upon a time, there was a genetic shift that caused unusual effects in the human population. But much of the world wasn't ready for this, and through a forced drug regime, the x-gene (as it was called) was made inactive. But when a boy is born under tragic circumstances onboard a shuttle being bombarded by radiation and energy from an unknown singularity, things might just be changing again.
There are some X-Men inspired elements borrowed, but this is not a crossover. If you don't know anything about X-Men, don't worry about it. :)
=======================================
All Western Skies-related Artwork (Mostly by me, with some art by others as well ::blush::) Here! There is an R-rated image here, FYI.
=======================================
Western Skies Soundtrack/Fanmix - Basically songs that inspired me, plus ones "heard" in the story. :)
=======================================
The stories of Western Skies in order:
Summary for Under an atomic sky: Chris Pike gets a very odd call from an old friend in the middle of the night, and his life is never the same...
Summary for Where men can't walk: Where Jim is not lonely, he likes the peace and quiet of the desert, and he wishes certain people would just shut up about it already.
Summary for Or freely talk: Jonathan Archer isn't a doctor by any means; but as he has found out many times during his career, sometimes you just have to rise to the challenge. Caffeine usually helps.
Summary for At his father's right hand: Chris is generally of the opinion that he is pretty damned good at what he does, hell, Starfleet even agrees with him. But captaining a starship and raising a genius son who just happens to have wings are entirely two different things, as reality has enforced on multiple occasions.
Summary for In search of experience: Jim has issues. He knows this. People without issues don't generally get into bar brawls just to get their head to calm down. They also aren't completely paranoid over people trying to get into their pants. Honestly...he's just getting really tired of secrets.
The first five stories are 117462 words long in total.
========================================
I also have a few shorts that I've written that take place during the story here!

Bandwidth-Intensive FYI. Also, there is 1 NWS drawing at the end of the post.
I've decided to gather all the drawings I've done here, as well as link to the ones done by others (OMG I WILL NEVER GET OVER THIS <3) so they are easier to find. :) Above each drawing is a short description and a link to it on my DA, if you want to look at it there too. :)

I collected all the drawings I've done for Western Skies, as well as linked to the ones done by others ::blush:: in one post! :)

You've probably seen them all already if you've been looking, but here they are. :)
EDIT: I lied, there's one new one there. It's kinda silly. XD
One person needs to give me a link to her lovely flying Jim piece she showed me over AIM the other day, I had a computer glitch and lost it. ;(
- Location:Muh Apartment
- Mood:
blah
Minus an irritating glitch in the sound, I have a sexy new computer! Getting used to Windows 7...it's similar enough to XP that I'm doing just fine, though. :D
Also bought myself a little electric space heater. Now I can sit at the computer without freezing! WOOT
My new bag I got for the new computer kicks ass, I shall take a photo of it later.
My apartment is being consumed by lint and hair. I REEEEALLY need to vacuum.
Having submitted my taxes atrociously late, I was under no illusions of getting my refund back on any decent time schedule. But the state refund just came! Hazzah! Now to wait for the big one. ^^;
========================================
Instead of writing at home (I've been working on it at work don'tkillme) I've been doodling for the last week or so. I decided to actually do a more serious (chibified, but serious) drawing. It can take place basically anytime in the latter...oh... 2/3rds or so of #6. Since I've already posted it on DA, I'll just link to it there (the notes on it are on the DA post)

accomplishedI feel like crap all of a sudden. Lunch did NOT agree with me. ::moans::
This is the perfect month for me to get things done, slow work schedule, no money... here's to writing quickly? And getting some other things done as well?
========================
I always do a loose blocking out of my stories before I get underway (even if I revise it a million times as I write) and I realize that my blocking sometimes sounds like a Valley girl's diary. XD
Two examples from #6 (Note: These are to simply keep track of general plotline, don't try and take any specific meaning from them:)
Bones thinks talk went well, totally thinks Jim is amazing/gorgeous
::giggle::
and this gem:
Gets to Vulcan, shit is bad
...I'm only a little bit insane...really.
Blargh.

I've never actually done this before, so I've revised the rules a bit. XD
Your only choice is from my Western Skies canon. :P
A certain someone already asked for Chris Pike, but I'll wait until she posts here. :D

So as of yesterday, I am officially signed off to stay one last year here in Japan. Three will be it for me, I don't think they'd give me a fourth anyway. :P
I will be coming home at Christmas, so I can see everyone and start bringing my heavy stuff home. :)
Now I get to start figuring out what I want to do when I get back. Hmm.
========================================
A bit late, but I finished my doodle for WS#5 and posted it last night:
The Moment Before
Thank you again to everyone who has commented! I never thought that people would actually like it when I started back in September. XD

No word on recontracting yet....
....I was called to muh meeting while I was typing that line, no joke. Looks like I might just be staying one last year! :D Haven't signed on the dotted line yet, but it looks 95% better than last year. ::collapses from sudden loss of tension:: No more than 3 years, I want to go home eventually. :P I need this last year to pay down my bills, though.
::passes out::

Apology in advance for the non-ST peeps on my LJ list, I'll be swamping the lines with my newest section to my story probably within the next 24-48 hours, in the range of 7-8 posts in a row. I'd love to be able to post it together, but LJ and their dumb limits. :|
