O', Captain, My Captain!
Fantastic. I even learned a new word: "febrile."
I am sorry it took me this long to read these last two chapters and comment, and I hope you did not construe my tardiness as displeasure. I must be the biggest, squishiest Trek geek-nerd on the planet, because all you had to do to make mine eyes misty was to draw a connection between the Titan, and Voyager (I dont care what anyone says, I adored Janeway, she was, indeed a good shepherd, and she brought her flock home), and the Enterprise. I have always loved the thickly palpable strains of tradition in Star Trek--you plucked those chords very well, indeed, Joel.
You can bet that I will be on here at Midnight on December 2, hoping that you will have posted the first chapter following the end of your hiatus. I do hope your current writing project is proceeding well.
Again, thanks so much for all the thought provoking entertainment. I am so bloody impressed by people like you and Kes7.
We can all, especially yours truly, use more Redemption and Restoration.
Here's to R&R.
Much obliged,
'Los
