Done as well :D

///

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

You're very welcome!
I was happy to do it! Glad you enjoyed your first foray into writing in the ALIEN universe and I look fwd to your next piece!

Blackwinter-witch, I am so deeply honored thank you have included my works on this list!!!

I just found your the link to your Manticore story here on the list, looking forward to reading it!

VivisectedEngineer

You're very welcome!! :)

It's always a pleasure to lend support to my fellow writers and creative minded folks!

ALIEN: Manticore is coming along steadily, though I did steal some time today to kick off a short-story that will tie-in to the follow-up story ALIEN: Manticore 'Paradise' as I just felt compelled to get things rolling with 'The Resolution of Walter', and without your story, mine concerning Walter wouldn't exist, and frankly with your 'preservation' of Walter, it really helps things regarding ALIEN: Manticore 'Paradise'.

So, Thank-You in-kind and return!! :)

cracking exerts guys. MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE PLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASE, ah thank u in advance

Speaking for myself, I've been very busy of late, literally wearing off the letters on my keyboard with all the writing I've been doing.

Seriously, I've worn small holes in some of the keys.

That said, I'll refer you to my ALIEN: Manticore thread, there's some there for you to devour :)

blackwinter, I hope ur projects r coming along nicely. the exerts I read from the links r awesome and I wish a the aspiring writers every success and fortune with their efforts. id love to give it a go but I think id struggle with the structuring of the piece.

 Give it a go anyways, you never really know until you try, right? Forget about self-doubt, and ALWAYS remember that anything you write, you can ALWAYS edit and fix, right? ;)

TY for you comments and encouragement!! Things are going very well, and ALIEN: Manticore is nearing the finish-line, as are the two short stories that I've been working on alongside it. :D

Hi Blackwinter-witch could you swap out my Pandion link with this one below, as this is now my active FanFic XD

Alien: Omega Terminus (FanFic)

IRaptus

You sure on the swap out, cause I can just add it, and then folks can find all your works??

Blackwinter-witch yes please for the swap :)

This new story is running riot on my imagination (in a good way) and although I will be come back to that original story I will need to review/re-assess many of the characters in particular....so this may be vastly different when I return lol

Blackwinter-witch how goes Manticore by the way, any news for us all eagerly awaiting :) ?!

IRaptus

Swap-out accomplished. I had both posted until I verified things with you, but have done the swap-out now. :)

ALIEN: Manticore is going very well, albeit slowly.

The facts of the matter are that keeping track of all the details and characters and critters as I write the whole climax-scene takes a fair bit of time per-page as I double-check things as I go along to ensure:
I don't forget something.
Don't llow continuity-errors to creep in.
To ensure a properly realistic feel/sense of things, etc..
I'm working on it right now, and it is slowly and steadily coming along. :D

The final edit won't take very long at all, a couple days at most, even with assorted housemeows 'helping'. :D

THEN, it will be DONE, along with the two short-stories, and all three will be published on Scribd and announced here so folks shouldn't have any trouble finding them. :)

Blackwinter-witch would you like to add this fantastic short story to our list :)

IRaptus

Done. :D

Always happy to add to the list of works found here. :)

Also, just to update:
ALIEN: Manticore is in the final stretch of laying down content, slow and steady as I got a reminder about continuity the other day watching ST: Into Darkness where if you pay attention, they really screwed up continuity in regards to beaming and shields....apparently the Enterprise has a Carol Marcus shaped gap in it's shields. :D

So, yeah, I might be slow and careful, and that's because I don't wanna hand flaws like that example above out in my works. I might be writing Fan-Fic, but I want to make sure I've done my Human best in it. :)

Blackwinter-witch excellent, can't wait to read the finished product.

You are writing more than just fanfic, you are writing for the future of the franchise IMO! I think we can all agree that your  dedication for perfection and pursuit of technical continuity is on another level.

FOX if you are watching..... look here

ALIEN: Manticore **Excerpts & Advice Points**

IRaptus

TY for saying!! That's a really wonderful thing to hear!! (HUG)

Hopefully, FOX might look-in and see what can be done, and should be done (regarding proper attention to continuity), there's so much potential in this franchise, and they just don't seem to see it...and they keep hiring writers who don't seem to really have any knowledge of the Lore, or give a damn about it.

I will say that regarding The Alien itself, I am taking an entirely different approach than what's been exposed via ALIEN: Covenant...
And in ALIEN: Manticore, the crew gets to play hide-and-seek with the REAL Big Chap, not some cheap knock-off cooked up by a psychotic android with daddy issues. ;)

Hello fellow writers! May I please ask that when posting new threads with your excellent fan fiction stories that you add (fanfic) into your topic title please.

This is mainly so that when an official Alien: TITLE is announced/released it is very distinguishable in the topics

Kind Regards

IRaptus  

Works for me, keeps things simpler and neater. :)

Just to say ALIEN: Manticore is steadily getting closer to completion and final editing. I have the story climax all figured out, double-checked and mapped so now it's time to drop the characters into the sharp and nasty end of things after they find out some Things Man Is Better Off Not Knowing. :D
