ALIEN: Manticore sequel update

sounds good, look forward to it :)

Finally a good treatment of the Big Chap.

Maybe you should not make it available to fans yet, but send it to Disney, perhaps they could dare to plan for the next film or tv series.

For the moment thay seem clueless on where to thke the franchise

Thank-you for saying!

First, Thank-You for saying!! :D

The Vignette 'En-Route' that is to bridge the first story to the Sequel...

Has become a full-out short story. It's RAW, crude and splintery-rough...needs tons of editing, but it is coming along.

I think, it'll be ready in a few days...maybe a week??

But 'soon'...ish, that's for sure.

I will be publishing some new works that link Blade Runner to A L I E N plausibly and smoothly.

I will be starting with a Vignette as the longer story will take a while, and I won't be writing it, merely acting as Consultant/Collaborator for all stories from now on due to my physical abilities becoming increasingly compromised.

But...soon...ish. 

Another post I regeret replaced by a message of 'Thanks' to all of you for your words of support and encouragement.

That 'Blackout'...yeah, embarrassing, and I am really very sorry the forum had to be exposed to that 'side' me.

I am working on the tie-in short story between 1st story and Sequel, but I am relying more and more on the help of the person I might have to turn my works over to if things medically don't go too well.

I have a Chance...but it involves rolling the dice, and we'll see what happens.

Damn- what a busy bee! I read and enjoyed Perfect Organism and haven't gotten around to OLARKUS yet. Tough to keep up, but it's nice to see you are mushing on!

I'm happy to hear that!! Thank-you for telling me!

The sequel is going to be hopefully written sooner than I could otherwise manage on my own--we'll see, but it's looking promising!

I will be posting excerpts, as soon as I have one or two more that I think are 'appetizer' quality. :D

Blackwinter-witch I downloaded yesterday The Lander and Manticore, just to be sure I have them for my next holiday. Didn't have a holiday in a long time and reading BigDave's long posts just takes almost all my limited free time.

I did not watch yet Raised by Wolves, but if Ridley Scott used some of the ideas he had for the Alien Covenant sequel it couldn't be that bad, hopefully. 

If you could post the links to 'Out of the silent dark' and 'Origin' here like you did for the two mentioned above, I would be happy to read them.

Alien is not dead, unfortunately it is locked and starved in Disney's vault. We are here to keep him alive and, whether we like it or not, the success of Raised by Wolves could help in the making of an Alien tv series, where you could see some of your dreams put into action. Somebody from the House of the Mouse must be doing research in all fan fiction posted on internet, as they don't  seem to have their own viable ideas yet, since Giler and Hill tried to bring back Ripley.

Don't give up on dreaming. 

Like David said, "Nobody understands the lonely perfection of my dreams."

SuperAlien

First I agree with your points about the franchise, and yeah Disney's famous Vault...

In the meantime I guess us Fandom folks will have to keep it alive...and as we all know, eventually, The Alien always escapes. ;)

I removed this reply of mine as it was entitely inappropriate for this forum, was hateful and I had very strong regerst in posting it.

Instead, I will say 'Thank-You' to you all for your words of support and encouragement to me while I try to get through a dark and frightening time in my life.

 Thank-You for downloading my works!

YES, Big Dave's posts are Erpics and Sagas...but he does make some interesting and deep observations, like one of those really DEEP ocean submersibles. 

Big Dave that is meant as a compliment, just to say.

When done, 'En-Route' and the Sequel will gat Links here, and ORIGIN will have the same.

In the meantime, I will post little 'appetizer' excerpts now and then. :D

I removed this post as it was just not-good and I am cleaning up the mess I made.

Sorry for the trouble, folks.

IF I can figure it out, I'll be posting my efforts on 'an archive of our own', a place devoited to fan-fiction.

I can't remember how to work with it, so I need to re-learn that. No big deal, but it'll give another point-of-access for everyone and might be where one can read and download without needing to use seperate links...I think.

Well, we'll see once I re-learn my way around it again.

Blackwinter-witch 

I am done.
The dream is dead.

Bull shit and fuck that! I guess I can understand your reasons for calling it quits, but there are people who enjoy your writing. On the other hand, if you aren't feelin' it, maybe it's best to pull the plug. It's not like your livelihood depends on it and is a work of sheer passion. As a musician, I maybe can relate as I spent decades of time writing, creating, practicing, learning and spending a lot of money on gear to make music only a few people gave Luke warm claps to. And i never made one cent......but it made me appreciate music even more knowing the entire process while other dipshits think I am a snob- bad production there, kick drum not strong enough there, lousy rhythm tone, tired and trite formulaic lyrics over there, bad EQ and mixing/masterimg and on and on.

Hang in there. Take a break, re focus and continue. Do it for your own amusement. Even if few listen, there will be those interested to hear the story you want to tell.

I hope you are OK Sciefied Sister.

(((HUG))) I think you know when i say I Understand!

Thank-you for telling me what you did!
I will take your advice, and take time, and consider.

I'd LOVE to add some illustrations and such...but I have NO read as ZERO drawing/art skills and all the artists I have tried to contact...well....13 months and NO replies, so nuff said.

I dunno...maybe I will take some time, consider things. But the truth seen in the screencap, well...speaks for itself...NO one gives a cold shit about my stories.

I'm hoping to have some further excerpts of 'appetizer' quality by this coming weekend. :) NOT sure from which works...maybe also a Vignette, but no promises for now.

As I cintinue my 'clean-up' efforts I once again want to say how much I appreciate all of you as friends and especially your words of support and encouragement.

And just to say, in 'Out Of The Silent Dark' I think you guys will appreciate some new revelations about The Alien.

Been working for a long time to give it back it's Mystique and Mojo to undo how it's been turned into just another moving-target for gunnery parctice.

The Colonial Marines are lucky they weren't in MY 'House'. ;)
