It is with sadness that I announce Vanessa's passing

I've worked with Vanessa for quite some time now and she was an absolutely fantastic person. It's with a heavy heart that I have to pass on the news of her death. She passed late last month and within the comfort of her own home. She loved writing and was always thinking about where to go next within her stories and universe. I truly believe that this universe kept her going and gave her the energy to keep fighting.

Hi all;

I just read an interesting article on triple star planetary orbits and thought you might be interested.

Hi Dustin,

As of last Sunday I am off and started writing. I have neclected the writing part for a while and whenever I get the writing fever I do not much else but write, drink coffee, smoke and write.

This only to update you while I ama tad slow in responding. 

As for the tripple star system, you are indeed correct it would / will make a great addition to the GalNet Universe and the Wiki

I am reading it now.

Or did you have an idea regarding it?

A Lesson on Categories

So, I've been away for awhile and the page count has skyrocketed. With all these new pages has come new categories and a confusion about what had how categories work.

Firstly, what is a category? It is a means of organizing and grouping similar pages together so that they can easily be located. For the most part they function similar to folders on your PC, with a file sitting in a single folder which may be a sub-folder of an other folder. Browsing a wiki by categories should be nearly exactly like browsing the contents of your hard drive. There are exceptions and depending on how content is best found it could end up in multiple categories. Unless you know for certain that a file or category should be in more than one category then you sho…

Review of Eric Olafson - Neo-Viking (Lulu.com Edition)

I just finished reading the Lulu.com Edition of Eric Olafson - Neo-Viking and thought I would give it a review. Please note that this is the 2012 printed edition available through Lulu.com and does not reflect later rewrites or editions. I have broken the review into 3 sections; print quality, format and editing, and storyline.


  • 1 Storyline
  • 2 Format and Editing=
  • 3 Print Quality
  • 4 Conclusion


I'm choosing to start with storyline because it was amazing! It was difficult for me to get through the first couple of chapters because I have read them so often, but I soon got into the newer changes and once again couldn't put it down! I'll refrain from giving specific spoilers but I enjoined how the characters were woven together. Previous rewrites felt a littl…

In progress

Hello All;

I thought that I'd post a short blog about what I'm up to.

Right now, I'm slowly working thru the "wanted" list, and also categorizing uncategorized pages.

I don't intend to do a ton of these on any given day, that will allow VR, Gnume, et al. to vet my work, without taking too much time from their RL work & play.

I also keep an eye on the Double and Broken redirect pages.

Regards,

800th edit

Wow.

I just realized that the edit on Spal, was edit #800 since I joined! Many have been fairly easy (if you have the time to do it, as I do). Some have been much more difficult (figuring out what Vanessa was aiming to do/say).

A couple have been an outright error. Thank you, Gnume and Vanessa for your patience and effort explaining the "ways of the wiki" and helping/encouraging the new admin.

Highest Regards,

On Monday I had a stroke

On Monday last week I had a stroke. I was completly paralyzed on the right side.

I was unable to move and had been in the hospita; till this afternoon.

Some sensation has come back and I will of course continue with the site and the strories, The doctors say my sensation and thus muscle control will return,but it can take some time.

The doctors also think that working on stories and web entries is a good practice.

So overall all is okay and way better than it could have been. Just so you my friends know why there was two weeks of silence

The Rewrite Status

The Rewrite

The rewrite I started in March is the hardest thing I have done in terms of writing. I wrote more than ever and tossed entire books in the waste basket ,only to start over.

The reason is, I want it to make it the last re write and finally get on to new stories.

I know the rewrite has to be done. There are too many plot holes and errors, but whenever I start I am adding new elements and then I feel it takes away from the original plot.

But I think I finally got a handle on it and I will soon update.

As usual they will first appear in the Fragments section of the Wiki. Once edited and read by my friends I will post them at Fiction Press.

Stories Online has to wait as John who does the posting there is currently deployed deep in the Con…

TF 2: Proof Readers Needed

NOTE: Ep2 was posted Oct 2, 2013 and can be view here.

So I have a good rough draft of episode 2 in the Triangulum Files completed. I'm looking for proof readers who can help point out some of the errors that are there. If you're interested just send me an email at silvak.lance @ gmail.com (without spaces).

I use google doc's......google drive now that they changed the name. I will add you as a contributor using your email address. You'll be able to read and edit the document online in real time. At this point it's just a rough draft, so grammar and spelling are probably horrible. What I'm after most is the flow and feel of the episode. ie, too slow, too boring, not detailed enough, one part is irrelevant, I want to know more about something…

A word about Questions and discussons

I wanted to say how incredibly happy and proud I am to have “Geek” discussions with Gnume or with KnightRanger or anyone for that matter.

For decades I am a fan of Sci Fi . I was a geek before there was the word...and I was a geek long before it was cool to be a geek.

While Lisa Simpson was sort of the first girl geek on TV...she wasn't cool...(She still isn't....Bart is) and girls had to hide their Geekness...

Anyway I still had headed discussions about the Explosive Yield of Photon torpedoes, the benefits of Phasers and all things Star Trek, Star Wars, Batman Superman , Spiderman, DC and Marvel...Also long before Big Bang Theory)...

But having geek discussions with real fans and friends about my Universe,…

About Content of the Wiki

Well in any case the Black Bridge and all the gigantuan ideas of Gnume are elements of Gnume's forthcoming story. As I said before if you want it to be part of the GC universe meaning it can appear in my stories. It must adhere to the guidelines I set forth in Writing in the GC Universe. I love Gnume's ideas and some of them are very giood. Like the Einstein Ark. (It has great potential and with some tweaking so it fits in the GC Universe it can be canon and I even tried to tie it in...) But every add on, every Page of this wiki that is categorized in the In Character / In Universe pages need to fit the Universe as whole.

The Union is not TL 10 or 11. It is TL 8 with some elements reaching TL 9. Certain equipment and items given to the Tige…

The Reboot

The Marvel Universe did it, DC did it, Batman did it and Superman..So I am rebooting my Universe as well.

The reason is, I have grown as a writer, mostly due to the many edits, comments and help from friends like John,Bill,Sam and others.

When I started Galactic Chronicles in 1993 it was a collection of handwritten Notebooks. Then I begun to tell the tale on Fiction Press Almost 10 years ago and added much to the tale. It was an organic growth and I wrote chapter by chapter rather than book by boo..and I fabricated some glaring Plot-holes, made tremendous typos and mind boggling errors.

At the beginning of this year my father died and I had to take care of my mother who took it hard. While this happened I was reading my own stuff and realized…

Random thoughts

I've finally gotten around to watching the first of the reboot Star Trek movies.

A couple of thoughts came to mind while I was doing that.  In the long run (before reboot), Spock chose what could be considered a "third way" for him - neither being completely human nor completely vulcan just complely Spock.  As for James T. Kirk, there was a comment before a bar fight that reminded me of Eric.

Due to some pathetically simple distractions, I am about the same place I was the last time I wrote on here. I have officially gotten out of the habit of writing and that disturbs me. I had been working on it everyday so that it was continually reminded of the world I was shaping and the lives I held in my hands. I knew that if I didn't I would end up right where I am now. Throw a bit of writers block and I feel like I am buried alive. However it's time I slap myself good and get on with it.

Belle station was supposed to be destroyed, so having a plan B already in place would be an unusual sign of lack in confidence by the Kermac.

But a few Kermac start to improvise and manage to overwhelm;

a Station Security Chief, a PsiCorp Colonel with links to the Grey Cats and TSI, a dozen Marines in combat gear, a maximum security prison with psi suppressors, there are no Cerberus bots guarding the prison, and there is no active computronic to check access codes.

A bit much isn't it?

My First Rewrite

Yep, I had barely finished writing episode 1 that I turned around and rewrote it. I was dedicated and have done most of the work today. There are a couple of things left and it will be ready for me to share. My proofreaders are hard at work making sure that I didn't miss anything.

Vanessa has been helping me immensely. Keeping me in line. Reminding me of the effects that my writing could have on the GC-verse. And most of all getting me information to actually use. As the series goes, I hope that the sheer amount of help I've been needing will go down.

If anyone other than Vanessa actually is reading these blog posts here is a little tidbit for you to chew on. The title of episode 1 is "Lost".

And with that I leave you.
