So,
I write this
series and I had the bulk of it written about a year ago. Unfortunately due to an EPIC fail on the part of my back-up and my computer (and maybe me)-- I lost the entire series which had already gone over 100 thousand words. If you pay attention to my site-- you'd realize that's not exactly out of the norm for me on the series front. I write big, epic things because that's how my brain works.
I break my work down into "short stories" or in the case of the series that is the problem "episodes". I do this because I hate to leave a reader hanging for weeks with a half-completed idea. Most do consider my series works Works In Progress and that's fine as long as they realize that some of them may never end in my mind. LOL.
So-- I'm supposed to be writing the next episode in Sentinels of Atlantis and in the original series (epic loss-see above)-- I did have an episode in the series dealing with the events of The Storm from the canon episode of Stargate: Atlantis. The thing is that--I wrote that before TPTB lied to us and cancelled our show. When that happened-- I lost a great deal of respect for the canon aspects of the show. Having realized this about myself-- I do try to be careful not let rocks fall and kill EVERYONE. Nor have I set fire to my mental set so that everyone on the show DIAF.
That being said-- I am having a hard time following my own original plans when it comes to The Storm episode and what I have plotted for my next episode of Sentinels of Atlantis. Last night I did some yoga and thought about it-- and just decided "fuck it and do it different" which is pretty interesting to think when one is very very relaxed. So, I'm going to do it different and since I was never a slave to canon the results should be pretty cool.
