 Is it just me, or has LJ been really screwy for the last week or so?  I keep getting errors when I try to access... well, anything.

Anyway, got past the hurdle on Monday and am feeling much better about everything.  Next week is still going to be a trial, but... oh well.  Such is life.

So, we're on to chapter five of "Starchild" now.  I'm making a good-faith effort to finish this in time for Yuri's Night but I know that ain't going to happen.  I want to host a party but the house is a mess.  Anyway, in this one, Eirika gets introspective and Ephraim shows off his mad piloting skillz.

Hm.  I have a neighborhood task force meeting and a radio show tonight.  I wonder if I can manage them both...

ETA: opted for the radio broadcast.

Why yes, I am blasting through this to distract myself from the fact that I have a major deadline tomorrow and I still don't have my presentation in working order.  

OK.  So, in Chapter Four, we actually get to the moon.  Sort of.  This fictional United Free Nations (UFN) space program, like the U.S. Apollo program, has a couple of "baby steps" before anyone actually lands on the moon... in part because the lunar lander ain't ready for prime time.  [Note: the Apollo program would never do a complete overhaul in mission goals with two weeks' notice to the crew.  Two months, maybe.  I'm taking some license here... and taking a page from some things the Soviets allegedly did.]

Anyway, for anyone wondering what the hell this story is about:

There's always sketch with Sephiran involved... )

So FFNet is working again.  I guess.

Chapter Three, right here.

I kind of like bite-size chapters now.  I used to write these huge sustained 6K-word "chapters" for my 'fics ("Homecomings," "Another Piece of Blue," "Love is Not A Victory March"), mostly because I didn't quite realize that I'm a fast reader and my idea of chapter length was really, really skewed.

This'll be somewhere from seventeen to twenty little chapters in length.  But I know where I'm going with this, so it shouldn't take a year or three to finish... unlike some projects.

ETA: And I just re-uploaded all three chapters of the FFNet version because I jacked up the numbering of some of the Lords pilots.  I forgot the order of Lyn and Hector, and everyone from there on down (Ephraim-Eirika-Ike-Micaiah) was screwed up.

 Still don't own Fire Emblem or any of its characters.

Fic under the cut )
Am I writing this because the idea of Ephraim in a flight jacket is attractive?  Maybe.
