OK, folks, I'm buckling down and writing a damn novel this time...one I intend to finish in a proper amount of time and maybe publish Fo' Realz. What's the novel about? It's not about Tribes, though it has plenty of references to Tribes, and Robert A. Heinlein, and John Steakley, and some Lauren Fau...

I don't know that I'd write another story with Bug as the protagonist. Cameo or supporting role, maybe. He can be a little one-dimensional in places.

I am glad you like the writing style, as sharpening my writing was one of the major goals of the work.

Yes, I definitely want the remastered games.

And of course, I'm looking for commentary and feedback. I know the story didn't turn out like what was normally expected. As I re-read it now, I'm gripped by a curious sensation--not being under pressure to WRITE, I see various flaws for what they are now. Story!Bug isn't nearly so wryly humorous as...

Oh yes, Dath, forgot to address her. I may have blabbered on FB at some point about how I couldn't decide if she'd been lying to him or not during their initial chat. That's still a little murky in places, though I eventually chose to write the story such that she is telling the truth for the most p...

Bug's morality mostly stems from his time with humans, the DTM in particular. There's a big hunk of resentment that comes from his exile status, and his "wry observer" skills come from the long years observing human targets as an assassin. Pheromone-based control: Hexabolic started me on t...

And here is the compiled version of Desecration. The 7z file has a commentary and a no-commentary version. The commentary, while it reveals references and such, can be hugely spoileriffic, of course.

DA LINK.

All righty, folks, it's done. I'll come back in a day or so and start answering questions.

And here it is, the final chapter, Desecration.

Bug's Theme

Congratufrickinlations! I too will dispense advice: COMMUNICATE. Take the time every month or three to just take stock. "Hey, we've been doing this, and I've been doing that. Has anything in all of that made you feel weird?" Mrs. Bug and I do this still, even after ten+ years. It's surpris...

I wanted to do MORE music for each little bit, but figured I shouldn't go completely crazy. That said, I'm really happy with how "Human Noise//Ayla's Theme" works out in the story. I'd originally assigned Temujin the song "Dragon Punch" by Tettix, but once I got him worked into D...

Desperation More fighting. Thirty-three thousand words of it. Welcome to the penultimate chapter of Desecration , folks. As always, if Google won't show it, load it in IE or choose to download it. If you can't get it, let me know, I'll mail it to you. Enumerated links for those that don't want to c...

Everyone wanted some fighting, now you get some fighting. Google Docs document like usual, but Google seems to be having some rendering problems today. Choose to save the file directly if Google won't show it to you. Piles of links in there, too, so I'll just enumerate them here for you. Bug's clas...

Rawr. I am the grammarian of whom your mother warned you.

Freakin' FINALLY. That's right, we are off on the attack now, folks. I am hoping I will be able to splice in a large amount of text so that the next update is much larger.
