Still say that Augustus and Essie won't get married until at least two books out. They need some proper courtin' first. :mrgreen:

...now why didn't I think of that??

I still stand by Abigail Hearns and Michael Oversteegen. I'm telling you, they're perfect for each other. Would you like an essay as to why? :lol:

Personally, I want to see what kind of person Paulo develops into once he starts letting other people see behind that shell he has developed. Helen has started the cracks. Let us see who else he eventually lets in. After all, there must be more to him if Helen is falling for him.

As for your evil plan, simple human nature almost certainly will take care of that.

I'm kind of a bit torn on this one.

I would love a short story detailing how Javier and Eloise first came to trust each other, recognized their feelings for each other, and decided to be together come hell or high water.

On the other hand, it's pretty much certain that such a story would have me crying myself to sleep for a year.

...oh, what the hell am I saying?? I'm not torn at all - the tears would be absolutely, 1000000% worth it to have that in print.

Hi KNick,

I agree we need to see what RFC intends for Paulo before condemn him so heartily in abstentia, since we still know so little about him.

On a different wish list, I've always enjoyed imagining the scene where Admiral Styles decides to retire because it could be so fun to write.

Does anyone care to suggest a synopsis in lieu of fanfic?

Any snippet or post from RFC is good if not great!

You mean like him sitting in Thomas Caparelli's Office trying to bluster his way out of the charges against him when a woman's voice comes over the speakers and says "I have heard enough of this." and Elizabeth Winton enters the office and proceeds to display the Winton temper to Styles, who then meekly retires as 'requested'?

Something like that? 8-)

Elizabeth? Deign to go to Thomas' office for something like that?

Monarchs do not go to Admiral's Offices. They only go to military precincts to a) review the troops, b) launch ships, c) give medals (rarely - they have receiving rooms for that), and (maybe) d) to retire a friend.

That interjection would go more like:
"I have heard enough of this!"
"Adm Styles, The Crown is no longer pleased to have your service."
"Thomas, please take care of the details."

I'd just like to see Styles end up on Old Earth, flying a cargo plane full of real dogshit out of Hong Kong.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

This would make a great short story for the next anthology.
