Hi everyone:
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but here goes anyhow.
I haven't forgotten about anyone here, I've just had to deal with a lot of stuff physically and mentally. Bleargh.
Anyhow, I've been managed to keep slogging away, and as a result, both the rewritten Savior and its sequel (also rewritten from when it was first posted) Payment in Full, are almost ready to post. I've made changes, so call them the "Director's Cuts" if you will. (Stephen King did it for The Stand, and although I'm nowhere near Mr. King's league, I figure if he can ... )
But here's the rub. Recently my Muse (spoiled brat that he is) has been noodling at my brain, suggesting that I add a C-plot to both. Nothing major, just a minor addition that would explain a little bit of why and how Trip and T'Pol drifted apart so that Jon and Trip are able to get together.
Now as you all know, I do not regard the Abomination (aka TATV) as canon but insofar as possible, I have tried to stick to canon in both of these stories. So Trip/T'Pol drifting apart seems to be a viable outcome to me.
Also, although I've never been a Trip/T'Pol shipper, I believe strongly in live and let live. You sail your ship, I'll sail mine and we won't take potshots at each other. I don't want anyone thinking that's what I'm doing.
So. What should I do? What do you want me to do? Post only the first (new rewritten) version of each story? Only the second with the C-Plot? Or both versions? Or neither?
Please let me know what you think.
Comments, questions, etc. welcome.
Thanks muchly,
Pippin
