Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The funny thing is, that it's not necessarily supposed to be a bad thing.
My original Battletech fic/SI is named Blood on the Horizon after the old Sailer's poem.
"Red Skies at night, Sailor's delight, Red skies in morning, Sailer's take warning."
So, Blood on the Horizon just means that...
Cloning
One of the first things that Umbrella heavily invested in after their first forays and successes in the BOW catergory was that of Cloning. Seeing as they were looking to expand their product lineup and ingratiate themselves as more than warmongers, the Founding Trio of Umbrella released...
Chapter 36

Location: Dropship en route to Outreach
“So, why Outreach?” I eventually asked one day while we were playing cards in our very small quarters aboard the Mule class dropship we’d spent money on hauling all of the gear I’d kept from the bunker. “The only thing that...
Chapter 15
While a few elements of STARS continued lines of questioning with the Red Queen, Chris had headed for the ISBC headquarters here on Miligan. Albert Wesker was a touch unsettling. He always wore sunglasses, even indoors, and the one time that Chris had seen him without them, he’d...
Chapter 30
Date: January 20, 3001
Location: Herotitus, Independent world
It’d taken McCarthy the better part of several days to convince the local government that no, this was not another attempt for the Concordat to annex Herotitus and that yes, he was going to be giving them money in...
Chapter 35
Date: October 10, 3029
Location: Kalidasa, Free Worlds League
In the end, I’d done what people throughout history have done. I postponed my decision on what to do regarding my operating system and software package to later. While a part of me felt like I was procrastinating when...
Someone Worth Dying For is still in the rotation. It's just a fic I have to be in a certain headspace to write for. (I'm not as zen as Samurai Hull). But I have a list to work off of to add to the "sleeping with the crazies' universe.
Chapter 14
Date: August 28, 3004
Location: Misery, Draconis Combine
The Wolf’s Dragoons reception in the Draconis Combine had been… Less than ideal for the mercenary regiments. In fact, it had been a hasty intervention from a Tai-Sa conducting winter training that had ultimately prevented...
Chapter 29

Location: Herotitus, Independent World
In the end, John and Luke had sold the coordinates of the SLDF base on Mavegh to the Concordat’s military. They’d then been directed towards Colonel McCarthy while en route to Herotitus. If their information about the...
Chapter 34
Date: September 12, 3029
Location: Kalidasa, Free Worlds League
Back home, I hadn’t really ever been into guns or the outdoors. Sure, it’s fairly stereotypical for tech startups to lock themselves inside until they’ve solved their most recent problems. In my case, it’d been true...
Chapter 13

Location: Hidden Umbrella Facility, Free Worlds League
“It seems we have another casualty,” Oswell Spencer handed a report over to Marcus. “Our agents within Comstar report that the Raccoon City Facility is destroyed.
“It is of no consequence,” James Marcus...
Chapter 33
Date: July 17, 3029
Location: Solaris VII, Lyran Commonwealth
Just because it was the off-season for Solaris VII, didn’t mean that there weren’t regularly held matches. In fact, it was common for new contestants to work their way up in the smaller leagues before entering a mainline...
Chapter 6
In the month it took to properly get all of the loot out of the bunker complex and for the Irregulars to strip the rest of whatever they thought might be useful off of the dropships that had been left in the ruins of the spaceport. It was odd. The more things seemed to have changed...
Chapter 12
“We need to kill that thing!” Jill said as Leon dodged yet another attack while desperately trying to reach the waypoint that would render them out of range of the self-destruct sequence.
“It healed from a direct PPC shot,” Leon retorted. “And some point blank lasers. Whatever it...
Chapter 32

Location: Kalidasa, Free Worlds League
Things had changed a lot form Hammer’s Superior Hogs. They now had a steady contract, they had a full staff and enough equipment to fill out a square company, and they weren’t stuck waiting for the end to come for them...

Location: Unexplored System 40 Light Years outside of Alamo
"C'mon, please don't do this again," Doctor James Home muttered from underneath one of the internal capacitors that he'd used to help store energy for the hybrid jump drive. "I just need you to store enough...
