[Weekly Blast from the Past] Elara’s Log
This week’s chapter, randomly selected from the archives: Elara Dorne, shortly after Balmorra in the SWTOR Trooper class line, meditates on the recent change in her commander, Vierce Savins. It contains spoilers throughout Overcoming Adviercity up through Balmorra. I don’t think it’s in Adviercity’s main text; it’s a bit of a supplement. This one is…

Build Me a Bunker (Farscape)
Farscape: Horny, dysfunctional, deliciously original. It’s got puppets. Crichton/Aeryn is my enduring ship. I give my shortest Farscape piece. Aeryn was struggling with the piping over the rear of the Prowler. Crichton reached over past her shoulder and gripped one angle in place. Aeryn started twisting. He didn’t lean in. She leaned out. “You scented…

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Shorts
I joined the shipping wars on two sides for the magical, the musical, the amazing Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. This show follows the antics and wrenching troubles of a woman who leaves her high-powered job to chase her ex-boyfriend across the country. Cue a thorough dismantling of sexist tropes and musical styles. I wrote three Team Greg…

The Duchesses’ Gifts (Original)
A serial with a troubled development history, TDG is about a trio of girls coming of age in a colony that has lost touch with Earth. These girls have unique gifts that nobody understands yet. Even I don’t understand all of it, I just wrote the daily serial chapters. It leaves off abruptly – I…

Dialogues AU (SWTOR)
I always wanted to know what a Star Wars: The Old Republic Sith Warrior would say to a Jedi Knight. Well, what if she apprehended him for delivery to the Emperor, and their ship was set adrift? He has just a few precious weeks to talk his way out. To bring one more person back…

Lodestone AU (SWTOR)
(art by kabeone) Ah, Lodestone. The original Ruth/Wynston AU. I didn’t lie about Ruth Means Compassion: in every continuity she starts Light Side, she befriends Wynston, she falls in love with and marries Malavai Quinn, and she parts on bitter terms with a son to remember her husband by. All of these are true in…

Overcoming Adviercity (SWTOR) 2017
Vierce Savins, freedom fighter, naturalized citizen to the Galactic Republic, and hater of all things Imperial. This is the canonical Republic Trooper in my Star Wars: The Old Republic. And then he met Elara Dorne. Now, I met Dorne immediately after finishing the Sith Warrior line, and I hated Imps. I hated Imps so much.…

SWTOR Poems
I wrote a lot of poems about Star Wars: The Old Republic companions, and I don’t regret a one. Some were limericks from chapters of No Death, Only Wrath. More came from a forum thread about romance options. I have the whole collection in PDF form. As an example I post Andronikos: You’ll pick your…

Fionne, Norbert, Turin: Angst and Arrogance 2015
(art by lonelion4ever) The beauty of Dragon Age is that of worldstates: entire tapestries of decisions and character fates that shape unique worlds. Fionne Cousland was the prime figure of my first efforts. I made her to romance Alistair. Well, spoilers for a possible DA:O endgame. If you turn down That, you know, That, while…
