No problem, I know you've been busy. I didn't realize you're also a co-funder for Scifi-wordsmiths, and perhaps are obliged to 'run the show' a bit over there as well.

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the story so far. It's nothing compared to Interceptor of course.

Thank you very much.

Yes it is a LOT of work .. usually one page takes about a week to complete from scratch to finish-touch. I've been working my butt off for weeks trying to finish the next upload as fast as possible. It will contain twelve pages (six submissions x 2 pages each) I think, so it should have taken three months to finish them. I think I've been able to speed things up a little bit though, coming down to just three days per page for some of the pages.

Anyway, I hope you'll check the rest of this chapter out when I get it uploaded.

I had a bit of a setback today as I wasn't feeling so well, but I'll try my best to finish another page tomorrow. Only four to go after that!

Awww. Well I had a lot of fun drawing the Executor. I shouldn't even mention how many times I tried and failed before I found something that even remotely looks like him. His tattos were a lot of fun too, I just love the guy, my favourite turian besides Garrus.

Indeed, well he should be safe now in C-SEC custody.

Enjoy.

My comic isn't set entirely in the canon universe though, I'm using characters and events in a slightly different continuum, still it doesn't hurt to know the real story of course.

Thank you! The next eight pages or so will (hopefully) be intense in a way. I hope you'll find them worthwhile.

Meanwhile I'm having a short break, trying to finish that story I told you about. It's fun but oh so exhausting. I have one chapter to finish now, hopefully I'll get it done today so I can get back to Meril tomorrow or later tonight. Wish me luck?

Why thank you, well writing can be a blast if you have some kind of idea what you're writing about. That's why I so rarely write anymore, because I hardly have ideas interesting enough to develop.

Woo, thank you.

I'm working on another thing at the moment, started off from a totally bizarre idea .. one of our cats got a straw of grass or something stuck in her throat and was miserable for a few hours until things sorted themselves out. I'm not saying any more.

And then there's this really dark, sad thing boiling in the back of my mind as well. I'll see if I can try and make something of it, problem is I have about three different versions of it colliding and I can't seem to choose which one to use. :/

Yeah, that's basically why I gave up fanficcing about ten years ago. I just could never decide which version to choose! It got too complicated with all the what ifs and why nots etc.

Thanks. I can't promise it'll even happen, I'm still fiddling with it in my mind. And I'm working on a mini-mega upload for Turian effect as well, so time is short ...

Thanks. Oh, I'm working, believe me. Six pages are done, six to go. Normally each page takes a week to complete but I think I've been working a little faster than that so hopefully I'll get the rest done sooner than in six week's time.

As for stories, wow .. they just keep popping into my head. I've been scribbling down what I have so far and I think I'm juggling about six of them now. Meaning I probably won't even finish one of them, sigh. But as always, I've taken down what comes into mind just in case ...

I just had this insane Shepard comment to Garrus five minutes ago that totally knocked me off my chair, laughing! I keep wondering where it's all coming from. Magic?

Sorry for the late reply, so many things have been going on health-wise and otherwise. It's been a real hectic couple of weeks. One of my cousins got married, I had to go to the hospital for some tests, the waiting time was terrible, it was my baby's birthday, and now my wedding anniversary is this weekend. Needless to say, I don't have much time to do anything these days.

I'm glad to hear you're working on your story. I hope to get some time to work on mine as well someday. I know it's hard to have a bunch of stories building up in your head, but I know if anyone can make sense of it all, it would be you. Happy writing my dear friend.

Lots of love

Hey, no worries. I've been really tied up with some house problems myself lately, and just trying to find time for life. I hope things have settled down a bit for you now and that your anniversary was spectacular, as well as the wedding and the birthday.

Heh, thanks! I do hope you find the time and motivation to write your story soon. I haven't written anything lately but I've been working all the more on the comic instead. I hope you'll like it when I upload it eventualy.

Well thank you, I do hope you'll enjoy the rest of it. Heh, no time for writing anything here either, pah, but ideas still keep popping into my head. I'm just as quickly jotting them down in my to-do document just in case, he he. But there is one story in particular I'd really like to get going with. We'll see if I can manage some peace of mind to write on it when I go back to my own apartment in a few days.

Hi, my sweet friend . I'm so very sorry I haven't been on to talk to you for a while. Needless to say I haven't been doing too well lately. I may have a problem with my colon (which is why I have been in a great amount of pain for awhile)though we're not entirely sure. I'm still trying to get to the bottom of whatever is causing me so much difficulty, but I'm also trying to stay positive.

I see that you've put more of your awesome comic up, I'm looking forward to reading them . I'm so impressed by you, and your work. I really hope all is well with you. Lots of love

Oh no ... are you feeling better now, I do hope so!

I don't know if I told you but I suffer from a condition called fibromyalgia that is closely linked to IBS. I've been having really bad IBS lately so I can very well sympathize with you there .. Perhas you're suffering from IBS as well? All my symptoms are from the colon region and sometimes I get so sick that I can hardly get out of bed for a day or two.

I've had to rationalize my diet to exclude all 'factory food', everything pre-prepared that contains lots of preservatives and artificial stuff. My body just don't tolerate that. As long as I stay away from bread and flour as well I'm perfectly fine. But I had to work this all out myself over time. (Basically because I can't imagine having some doctors stuffing tubes in here and there to have a look. ) I do hope you'll get to the problem of your own illness.

Lol, yes I've been busy. I'm nearing the end now, only six pages to go before I launch chapter two which will be a totally new story.

Please take care and feel better soon.

I'm so sorry again for my lack of communication. I've been going through a bit of a depressive stage, I'm still in it but I hope to be out soon. It's just so much has been going on, it's just really hard.

Health wise it turns out I need a colonoscopy (which I'm getting this Tuesday). I'm really nervous, but doing my best to be positive. Well the bright side is that we might actually figure out what the problem is, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed .

Oh, okay .. well good luck with that, I'm sure the doctors will be able to rule out certain things and hopefully they'll figure out exactly what's wrong. Please take care and thank you for showing this much trust in a stranger. I really wish you the best.

I'm kind of dreading the Christmas season myself because it means eating some 'new' foods that my body isn't used to. I might end up with a lot of IBS problems. I guess it's worth it in the end though, I know my symptoms will go away as soon as I revert back to my old diet again.

And, Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Good Lord it's been such a long time since I've been here. I'm so sorry about that. Let's just say a lot of things have been going on. Unfortunately I don't see things settling anytime soon, but I'm doing my best to take care of me too, not just other people.

Thanks for listening about my depression (it's better now, I'm not 100% but I'm getting there). I think of you as more of a friend than a stranger

I hope your Christmas was good. I spent mine being sick (boo). Though other than that it was great.

Hey, don't worry about it. Taking care of yourself and your family must take precedence after all.

That's good to hear. I've been having a rather up and down winter myself, some low times, worse than usual .. but thankfully they cleared out before they developed into full blown depressions. I hope you'll feel better soon. I'm happy to listen, I'm so glad to hear things are slowly starting to look up for you. When we're feeling down, we just have to find joy in the small things. I like to think that each day brings me closer to a recovery.

Oh, me and my mother had a great Christmas, thank you for asking. Sorry to hear you were sick ... what a disappointment.

Awww. I think from now on, things will get more and more interesting with your little one. At least that's what they tell me.

I'm quite fine, thank you. Let's hope that holds true for you as well. Be well.
