Snippet
Wow. I just finished Chapter 13 of All the Stars Asunder. I'm feeling kind of accomplished, and like it might just be possible to finish this WIP, after all. It's off to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eretria for beta, after which I'll post it here, or a link to it here.
I'm sort of debating. The fic used to be archived in lots of places. But then FF.net went NC-17-less, and various Try/Beka sites disappeared, and now it's only up at one site that I know of.todust is working on some problems with my fic site, so it can't go up there, yet. I'm thinking I might upload the previous twelve chapters in my pitiful html way, and post links here with Chapter 13, the easier for people to read it.
I have a thing where I don't like pasting fic into lj entries, unless it's a stand alone ficlet, because then you have to wade backwards through tons of posts to find the beginning. Does that make sense?
Suggestions/opinions? The 'chapters' range from 1,000-3,000 words apiece, and are all in separate files on my HD.
Oh...and a snippet from Chapter 13:
The measured, heavy bootfalls on the metal grating of the Maru’s floors didn’t sound anything at all like Harper. Beka swallowed another curse, closing her eyes for a moment. She took a deep breath, and then another, forcing herself to be calm and cool. She didn’t bother getting up.
“How did you get in here?” she asked, keeping her tone distant and mild. She reached up, grasping the wire with her good hand, intending to smooth sealant over the cracks in its protective coating.
“This is not the first time I have entered your codes into the Maru’s security console, Beka,” Tyr said easily. His booted feet came to a stop near her head, and she could feel him lean against the console she was working on. His posture seemed casual, but she knew better. “Or have you forgotten so quickly the night I tucked you into bed?”
Zap. “Fucking son-of-a-bitch!” She clutched her hand close to her chest, now sure she’d managed to sting every one of her ten fingers at least once.
