New reader? Start here. Back to Part 034 Notes – Forward to Part 036 Notes There’s a couple of things I really like about this section. The first is Xiphos calling Cait about about getting put at the kids table every time there’s a big decision being made. She’s right: she is an officer on [...]

New reader? Start here. Back to Part 033 Notes I feel like I’m going to spend a lot of time defending the timing of this section. Really, what happened, why it’s here, has to do with something that was going to happen next section, and now it’s not. Things changed, leaving this section hanging. However, [...]

New reader? Start here. Back to Part 032 Notes – Forward to Part 034 Notes This section. I just… ugh. This section. This section fought me every step of the way. All the feelings I have wrapped up in the Goodship Firebrand suddenly didn’t want to come out on to the page. Every thing I [...]

New reader? Start here. Back to Part 031 Notes My god, is it actually Monday morning? What gives? Well, computer’s going in the shop, and I don’t know when I’ll be getting it back, so the links to and on this page may be a little wonky and/or non-existant. Please bear with me while I [...]

New reader? Start here. Back to Part 029 Notes – Forward to Part 031 Notes I’ve been putting off the notes for this section because this is a case of the section really standing on its own. I don’t think I can type 200 words about what’s going on here, though I may try. I [...]

New reader? Start here. Back to Part 028 Notes Cut scene time. This is what got cut from the very end of last section (for whatever reason, I decided not to put it in the last notes). Toby stepped off the bridge, and stumbled his way to the guest kitchen. He fell into one of [...]

New reader? Start here. Back to Part 026 Notes – Forward to Part 028 Notes More flashbacks. Hello, past Rose. I’m trying something out here. Aside from spending time letting the crew run around the ship, I had some history I had to drop. It’s safe to assume that everyone on the Rose knows who [...]
