Everything he knows he learned from me. He was once pure and innocent, but my vile humor has corrupted him. Now I am doing the same to his younger brother, who I have taken under my wing. Soon he too will be spout bathroom humor like me. Soon you will too. It is inevitable. It is your destiny.

14th I will not be assimilated!

The 14th Colony · April 28th, 2004, 10:12 PM

Resistance is futile. Avoidance is pointless. You will 14th Colonized.

Rowan · April 28th, 2004, 10:20 PM

will you promise to be gentle?

The 14th Colony · April 28th, 2004, 10:58 PM

Why of course. All probes and insertionary intrusions are carried out gently and pleasurably.

Rowan · April 28th, 2004, 11:08 PM

um what have I started.....again

The 14th Colony · April 28th, 2004, 11:13 PM

I have a deep thought. Yes, indeed I do. A decade ago I had concieved of an idea for a Battlestar novel, one of many ideas I thought up and jotted down in outline form for later use. It was long before I knew anything about Richard Hatch's revival attempts and before Sci-Fi did what they did with the remake. The ideas came at a time when I didn't know how many fans there were keeping the love for BSG as I had, and I had hoped that my novel would be the means to relight the BSG fires to bring about a revival movie or TV show. What I did when forming the plotline to the story was create what it was I had always wanted to see happen in the BSG universe, one of the things, anyway. I wrote out a series of rough concepts and deeper, detailed ideas and kept them in rough form for later working on, hoping someday to get the novel completed and published. Then a few years ago I put more thought into the idea behind the novel, only to later find out that a revival was already in progress (though it turned into the remake instead). So I came to realize that perhaps my hope of getting the book published were slim to none. And apparently only Richard Hatch has the rights to publish BSG novels at the current time, so my hopes are even dimmer. Last year, at Stray Viper's urging, I went back to my old notes and rough outlines of my BSG novel to write out a clearer summary of the book itself to give him an idea of what the direction of the story would be. I sent him a 23 page sumary outline of my novel to give me feedback on, and he reported that he enjoyed it very much and thought it had good potential (at least that's what I remember him saying. Stray Viper, correct me if I misquoted.). My point is, for a long while I have played with the idea of posting my summary on this board for other serious BSG fans to read and give me feedback on, though it is still rough and incomplete. And so, my deep thought is about doing exactly that, posting my BSG continuation summary on this board for fan's reading and feedback. I ask myself in that deep thought, should I or shouldn't I, and would other fans be interested in this?

yes but I never seem to learn I just have to have a peek

Rowan · April 28th, 2004, 11:19 PM

14th it sounds like a good idea to me the library could always use another addition

The 14th Colony · April 28th, 2004, 11:30 PM

Good then. So I shall considder putting the summary into the Library for viewing, and soon.

Opening the box for a peek is like eating a Dorito, you can never have just one.

Stray Viper · April 29th, 2004, 07:16 PM

I think that would be a great idea 14th. From what I read, I could definitely visualize it as a movie. What's especially satisfying about it was that you went in the direction that we fans wanted, which is seeing the same characters from the show, a bit older and changed over time. It was great.

The 14th Colony · April 29th, 2004, 07:34 PM

Thanks for the feedback, originally, and now, old buddy. I am going to post it soon in the Library section.

Stray Viper · April 29th, 2004, 07:38 PM

LOL I'm using my S3 style for your D3 development stage. You've got the tools, man, use them.

The 14th Colony · April 29th, 2004, 07:53 PM

What do you mean, with "S3 style" and D3 developement stage"?

Cripes, the character limit to a post is 10,000 characters and its much long than that. I have to figure out where 10,000 lies on my Word character count and post it a piece at a time. Argh!!

jewels · April 29th, 2004, 08:28 PM

*******interrupts wherever thread has meandered to inject a thought about time*****

Was just emailing someone that was in Australia....For him it was already Friday (tomorrow for me) I was replying to him from his yesterday, but my today (Thursday). Anyhow, my sign off was "Enjoy tomorrow today, as I finish up yesterday."

Am I sleep deprived or did I manage something a little bit witty? Witty is rare for me...

No!!!!! Don't do all that work!!! the easy way: send it to BST or Dawg as a Word Doc and they will put it in the Colonial Library. Everyone downloads it when they have time and reads and gives feedback.

The 14th Colony · April 29th, 2004, 08:49 PM

No worries, I realized I didn't want to do all that work, so I emailed it to BST just a little while ago. Oh frak! I went and cut and pasted it to email rather than attaching as a Word document. I'd better resend it to him. I wasn't thinking clearly. I worked 21 hours straight from 8am Tuesday morning until 5am Wed. morning, and had to go back to work at 8am until 4pm, and had only about 5 hours sleep Wednsday night, so my head is still slightly mush.

Rowan · May 10th, 2004, 12:31 AM

((((((((((((14th)))))))))))))))))

for working so hard and mushy headedness...

also I didn't want this thread to get too far away, I'm enjoying it !

The 14th Colony · May 13th, 2004, 08:37 AM

For them who ain't seen it yet, my story is posted, go check it out.

Nice avatar.

Hum, just noticed - we have two forms of leather here.

14th your avatar gives me the willies. I will never be able to look at a cow the same way ever again!

The 14th Colony · July 31st, 2004, 12:58 AM

Don't knock cow tongue till you've tried it. They are great kissers. They are also great steaks, but the tongue kissing is the appetiser.

repcisg · July 31st, 2004, 09:25 AM

Hummm, that all depends on who and or what you are exchanging tongue with!

For me the initial requirement is the she be human!

LOL Repcisg! I'd have to agree Human is the way to go

repcisg · July 31st, 2004, 11:33 AM

I don't think I'm too much of a prude. Alive, same species, oposite gender and willing. Before I consider getting that close.

The 14th Colony · July 31st, 2004, 08:14 PM

Hmmm, well let us keep my bovine sexual interludes secret, shall we? I thought others would be understanding and not so judgemental. Besides, I was in college at the time, and I was just, you know, experimenting. It was really just a one time thing, you know. That doesn't make me a heiffersexual, does it?
