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. :)
=======================================
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.
The first four stories are 56161 words long in total.

"I got really lucky on a Star Trek slot. I hit a bunch of Kirks."
::giggle::
^_~
EDIT: Hitting Kirk seems to be a profitable venture, she got over $1200. :P

Writing is going very slowly right now...I just don't have the energy at the moment. :( I'm having little anxiety spikes again, for no reason. Not as bad as it was earlier this year, but yeah. I wanna get this story as right as I can get it, so it may be awhile. ^_^;

In other news, it's rainy, windy, and cold here! WOOOOT! <--this is not sarcastic, I love this kind of weather as long as I don't have to go out into it.
It's National Culture Day here in Japan, so I am not setting my alarm. Time for bed! :D

I am pleased that I appear to have relocated said groove, however, and am finally seeing the light at the end of this story's tunnel. It's at about 24,000 words, I'm guessing I'll wrap it up between 25k and 26k. Good bloody grief. I'm sorry,

welovethelegend , your brain is probably going to implode after reading the obscene amount of run-ons and comma splices in this beast, let alone from the utter mooshiness. ARG.

Notes:
1. I am offering to pick up three people from Fukuchiyama, which is about an hour south of me to help save on train fare. If you all wanna take the train in, that's also cool.
2. For those who imbibe, I do have a decently stocked liquor selection for guests. :) I do not drink myself, but feel free to do so as long as you aren't the mean/breaking stuff kind of drinker. ^_~
3. Besides ST, I have a decent selection of movies, which includes the Blu-ray TNG Movie Collection, as well as a PS2, PS3, and a Wii. I also can connect my computer to my TV.
4. We have lots of restaurants and a McDs here in town, and/or I can cook. :) Whatever works best for people.
5. I should have enough pillows for everyone. But if you can't live without your own, I suggest you bring it.
Anything I'm forgetting? Please confirm your attendance (and # of people coming with you) here!

All power to the slashers I say. I'm deeply flattered that anyone would take mine and @edgarwright's balls and run with them.
Followed by what read like snippets out of Hot Fuzz fanfic.

========================================
So, fellow Japan-dwelling GQMFs! All 4 or 5 of us! Wanna meet up and nerd out in style for a day or two over the blu-ray of Star Trek?
I've got room! (and the Blu-ray player, extra futons, a car to fetch you with, and a decent-sized TV.) I even can cook! :D
So I was thinking:
Perhaps the 3 day weekend In November, or the weekend after?
The only concern I have it that because the Blu-ray/DVD doesn't come out in the US until the 17th, I may not have it in time for the 3-day weekend. If Amazon ships it the nicer way, it should, but if they ship the cheap way, no way in hell. In THAT case, I would buy the Japanese release for us to watch if we met on the 3-day.
I could pick you up from the train station (I could even pick you up south to make it cheaper.)
Whaddya say?

In non-ST related news, Katamari Forever is seizure-inducing in a fabulously fabulous way, and the new Blu-ray release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves may actually be too clear. O_o
The Princess and the Frog looks amazing, I can't wait to see it. :) Hazzah to old school animation!
...I'm considering donating my Pixar - Cars DVD (region 2) to my ESS club so I don't break my "if you already have it on DVD, don't buy it on Blu-ray" rule. Mmmmhm.
I mailed off two packages yesterday, one domestic ::coughlatebirthdaygift:: and one going to the newly settled apartment dwellers. :)
I need to upload pictures of dolly stuff I've sewn to DA sometime. Probably after I get the bulk of this fic series done. Yeah.
Man, I'm sleepy today.
