Dropping in to say yes, I'm alive! I promise I will catch up on comments, friends list, etc. I'll even provide a Spliced ficlet shortly.
What have I been up to? Besides the usual (boring) work stuff and some traveling which have kept me busy, I also still can't not write something, so I've been working on a new story the past few months.

Your characters have ISSUES? O___o I am shocked!!! :D
HOW, just how can you declare so casually that you are 50K into the story already and NOTHING is posted yet? >;) Evil I say pure evil! ;) This reminds me of a third VERY neglected story of yours, it involves a certain Queen that I hope has better control over her slave! How is that going? >:D ;)
I have been well thank you and am glad you have been well also! :)

Yep, on the planet Calnith though, not Karta. :P I'll say that the slave in this one is not rebellious, unlike certain others who do not need to be named, ahem.
Hey I was going at such a good clip it seemed a better idea just to continue on until I was done! No pesky editing before posting. Plus, I think I'll evaluate it after I'm done, see whether I think it is publishable. I feel like Spliced in all its weirdness is a hard sell, while I think this story is more approachable.
Queen? What Queen? >:D
In all seriousness, really need to work on that one, yes. Unfortunately, still stuck on pesky plot stuff.
Good, glad to hear it. Thanks!

When will we see how things are done in Karta as they should be? >:D Well I am glad Min is not going to have his place as Most Rebellious Slave EVER contested!!! I am relieved! :D
whether I think it is publishable I warn you glasses of wine + EVIL TAUNTING = LETTERS OD DOOM!!! >:)
:P My hopes are with her and her PROPER handling of slaves! :D
*twitches while trying to appear understanding*

I won't say I won't ever explore that society more, because I do find it interesting, but I'll save that for another time. I wanted to flesh out a planet that I'd really only mentioned in passing in Spliced, give it some life. Lol, yes Min's title is safe. :P
Well, whether I post to LJ or actually (amazingly) get it published, it would be available eventually!
*nods* Stomping slaves beneath her tasteful boots seems like proper handling of them, yes. :P
Believe me, I'm frustrated with it too. I have ideas for later things in Echoes that I'd love to write, but they are too dependent on figuring out the things in between. Sigh.

To be honest, I only started reading Spliced, because I thought it was completed. I am glad I did. Such a wonderful story,and excellent writing. It is one of my favorite fics now.

It does sound interesting! I just commented over at Catana1's LJ that I'm fascinated by writers who manages to create an interesting universe that they return to for a lot of different stories. I can't seem to do that. Usually when I end a story I never return to either those specific characters or that world... On the other hand I always return to the same themes, so... But still! I sometimes almost gets a bit jealous, I want that special world too! :-)

And you have plenty of special worlds, don't worry :)

Yeah, but, not in the same way... kinda...

It's not normally something I do either, the Spliced verse is the only exception for me. The fact that I created a universe with about a dozen planets certainly helps, as it gives me lots of room to play in. I can't possibly flesh out all those worlds in one story, so it gives me the opportunity to write other stories doing so.
I'm really enjoying this new story. Sigh. Yet another slaveboy has wormed his way into my heart. They are shameless, I tell you, these boys! >:O
