Haha. Always a pleasure to see Levi.

I echo Janeway: temporal mechanics gives me a headache. Sweet scene, though.

Quite a sacrifice. I haven't read your Eriecho stories, but now I'm curious how this all turns out.
Author's Response:
Oh, thanks - I had never (spoiler alert) written H'Shema alive before.

You write Daniels sleeping around the timeline quite a bit, but nice to see he cares somewhat for the consequences. (Unless, of course he plans to go sleep with Wendy, too. Yes, I went there.)
Author's Response:
Ha - he's actually not allowed to return to the MU during Hoshi's lifetime. It's a condition of allowing Jun to live.
Date: 01 Jan 2015 20:12 Title: Eight
Didn't explain it right - I knew who Jun was, and his background and history, but didn't understand the reference at the end to the name 'Wendy' - literally. ;-)
Author's Response:
Oh - it's that she's Jun's wife. Up until that moment, Rick has no idea who his daughter-in-law is. He has to send Tom on a mission to get that information.

Tommy and Takara conversation is like all of your inter-verse dream conversations always leave people wanting more.
Author's Response:
Oh, thank you!

All these bits and pieces were intriguing. "Human Units", pouch feeders, and a dream pregnancy? And there is something so right about a Klingon butcher. I can just see him in a big white apron, all Worfish, dreaming of pancakes.
Well written.
Author's Response:
Oh, thank you so much! They all come together under the one big banner of family. :)

Naughty Otra D’Angelo I am sure she said that just to see Levi reaction.
Still I do like Admiral Carmen Calavicci team have the best parties.
Author's Response:
Oh, I hope so - and poor Levi! All he wants is to just blend into the background.

Nice little drabble.
Yes that must be one massive headache to organize the food and seating planning when you have such large family units, still I bet it is a good old knees up once it gets started.
Author's Response:
They're at least cooperative. But man, the noise!!

Lol, I do like the humor of your stories Jespah,
Yes the headaches of accidental temporal kick-backs and generational ships.
Author's Response:
Oh, many thanks!

So that how H’Shema and Saddik met and poor Eriecho got her name.
In so few words you recreated that horrible prison of Canamar and show what a little miracle Eriecho is.
Author's Response:
She's one of my fave characters (don't tell the others).
[Report This]Date: 21 Dec 2014 20:18 Title: Eight
So let see what drabble joy you have for us this time Jespah.
Well it seem Daniels can’t keep away from his Mirror family, to see an harsh Emperor soften for his daughter name Wendy.
Nicely done.
Author's Response:
Oh, thank you! :)

I must admit, I'm sad that it's over. Couldn't you guys at the TIC have waited a few more days to "fix" it? ;-)
I was really getting into the plot, with everyone in their new roles, and wanted to see how it all panned out.
The ending was so cute, though. Way to come out of your shell a little, Levi.
Author's Response:
That ending just sort of appeared, and then it just compelled me.
Maybe I'll write more of the alternates some time. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Now that's going to be an interesting pair. And MU Sulu now a captain -- we get to see what we didn't see in "Mirror, Mirror."
Author's Response:
I always wanted him to be a captain!

An absolute kicker of a story. Certainly held until the very end, the dialogue was good and something else (the mention of Hoshi as "a sexpot" provoked a smile). An imaginative story overall and one that inspires to greater writing :)
Author's Response:
Aw, I thank you! I'm sure MU Hoshi sees herself that way.
Date: 04 Nov 2013 04:03 Title: Mirror Masquerade
This line killed me: "And I suspect that Lieutenant Moreau here is tired of being under him as well.” Talk about a double entendre. ;-)
And the plot thickens -- as in purple-plomeek-soup thick. Nice juxtaposition of another canon character. Can't wait to see what you do with her, and what happens when ISS Kirk and co return to the MU.
Things are really straying far from the original paths now, but hopefully not so far that the TIC won't be able to fix it.
Author's Response:
We can fix everything! With a little ... work. :)
Glad you noticed that line.
Date: 04 Nov 2013 03:40 Title: Mirror Masquerade
Yep. Not going where I anticipated at all, but now I'm definitely intrigued to see how each man will function in the different timeline, but more importantly how those who belong in that timeline react to the newcomers. In a society where mistrust, cruelty, ruthlessness and murder are the norms, it'll be interesting to see how they finagle it so they aren't immediately put to death.
Okay, I'm definitely hooked now. :-)
Author's Response:
Oh, yay!
Date: 04 Nov 2013 03:30 Title: Mirror Masquerade
Otra is stuck but finally able to sort out the pieces of what she is seeing. But more importantly, can she communicate that information so the timeline can be fixed?
Lots of wacky, weird stuff going on here. Something tells me it will get more bizarre before long. And now that the Terran Empire is in control of both sides of the pond, what is their plan? Can the powers that be there see a way for their Empire to endure by using other timelines? Only one way to find out...
Author's Response:
It's been irresistible for me to have the Empire continue on, and have control of both sides, a lot of the time when the timeline is messed up. Our side will always have Fifth Columnists, their side will always have (hidden) decent people, and so if there can be a widened breach, I figure there's bound to be mixing.
Date: 04 Nov 2013 03:12 Title: Mirror Masquerade
Wow! This starts off with a bang -- both figuratively and literally. Let's see where it goes. As with all of your works, I'm sure it'll keep me guessing, and take off in a totally different direction from the one I anticipated. ;-)
Author's Response:
That's my plan. Oh, you know me so well.
Date: 29 Oct 2013 19:55 Title: Mirror Masquerade
Oh Levi...
A nice, tidy, and cute little ending. Good job!
Author's Response:
I thank you - the ending just sort of ... happened.
Thank you for reading and reviewing!

And I'm familiar with your take on Hoshi's rise to power, so to see it so much more chaotic and happen completely wrong is crazy to read. And interesting the idea of the Captain's Woman being a status symbol, no matter who the man is. I always assumed they were more just...toys, I suppose is a way to describe it, an idle pleasure for when the captain wasn't in the center chair. You paint the picture that, with how rare women are in your MU, they aren't just "things" to keep busy but no kidding symbols of the power a man has, whether of a starship or an empire. Neat idea. And of course he picks the one person who won't do anything with him, or try to do anything either. Smart man, this new captain Sulu.
Love how you wrote both men as quickly rising to power in their new "worlds," completely separated from their past lives and failures and anything that might have held them back. They reinvent themselves very quickly and capitalize quite successfully in both cases. Pretty awesome.
Author's Response:
And they change all that they touch, too!
Date: 29 Oct 2013 19:48 Title: Mirror Masquerade
Loved the switches; Travis has a chance to very quickly prove himself and take on a new role in life, totally unrelated to his previous one. He could have reinvented himself as anything, and he immediately comes across much more confident and...almost entitled to everything. Sulu, I love how he immediately also capitalizes on his situation, taking the conn of a ship that he is MORE than familiar with than the crew that controls it.
And freaking Hoshi...*sigh* Of course the empress would start plotting her new power play.
And then Travis' power play...killing mirror Spock and OUR McCoy? Ouch...harsh...
Author's Response:
Travis had to do what the little lady told him to (of course, she has her own agenda ....).
