It is either part of the Latin phrase, "sic erat scriptum," meaning " thus was it written," or it is an abbreviation of "spelling in context," depending on who you ask. Either way, it means that you are quoting somebody else's text, and are transcribing it exactly as they wrote it, including any misspellings.

If you are not sure of spelling in something you are creating you can either follow it with (sp?) to mark questionable spelling, or you could open a new tab in your web browser and Google it. A quick search of "Giancoloa Honorverse" automatically showed results for "Giancola Honorverse."



Well, I learned something today--never knew that, and with all the reading I do....

I'll either use the (sp?) or just leave it wrong for the grammer Nazis to find... 8-)

Thanks, crewdude.


You know, that's bugged me for years.... Thanks!

I'm still a bit curious as to what exactly went down in that "infamous" WDB session that Honor attended after Basilisk. We still hear about that years later so it must have been something.

I want Lester Tourville's immediate reaction to his president's little midnight surprise. I mean, we get a little retrospective in ART, but that's not really the same thing.

I thought it would be interesting to get the first meeting between the major Manticoran/Grayson officers and their Havenite counterparts. These people have been fighting each other for 20 years and for most of them all they have to go on is the name and the news reports. Actually meeting these people face-to-face for the first time must have been something else.

"Admirals Tourville, Diamato, Bellefeuille...meet Admirals Harrington, White Haven, Truman, Yanakov..."

Obviously, Tourville and Honor have met previously but not the others.

I want details of the meetting of Tankersly and Honor's mother. You know, when she went and said somthing about, "not letting good genes get away."
That dinner, ribbing at Honor's expense the whole time of course, would have been a sight to see.

I've wanted to see a scene where Tom Theissman presents a display case to Queen Elizabeth with the original operations orders for her and her father's assassinations with a picture of St.Just with a pulsar hole in the forehead.

Tom didn't do it for Elizabeth, but it took one item off Elizabeth's list of "things to do" all the same.

Hello Stewart!

Excellent!

I look forward to more such great posts in the future.

Would Kevin Usher have been the one to suggest it, or Victor?

I imagine Elisabeth having it framed in her private office, with a space next to it saved for when High Ridge passes on... ;)

How about when Honor first met Nimitz, and Allison's and Alfred's reaction, then the next 5 years?

The WDB meeting is high on my list, as is the Battle of Trevor's Star, the rise of the new Republic of Haven, the detailed crash of High Ridge, these are a few of my favorite scenes to be filled out sometime.

Then there are the scenes of Askew finding out all that he can about the RMN on New Tuscany, including from the RMN attache, asking basic questions about Monica and then Spindle before possibly getting sent back on a db and are the rest of the stranded crews still there or how were they brought back [could have taken several month's so they heard about Crandall and OB before they left], or Crandall's staff discussing her 'suicide' and how the heck they were so overconfident and lost so easily and what that portends for the SL and SLN.

Which newsie invented the 'Salamander moniker?

Since we didn't meet Sinead Terekhov in that brief week or so he was home, it seems another scene for the list.

How about the mental thoughts of the rest of the Mandarins, or all the rest MAlign stooges?

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

Lyon,
We saw the meeting of Honor and Nimitz in the anthology 'Beginnings'. We missed the five years, but got Nimitz' point of view - including the fact that he had absolutely no intention of adopting a human. He had big plans before Honor came along.

YES. MORE SINEAD PLEASE. Goddammit, I love her and Aivars together, and I want more of them!

I also want the initial meeting of the GA High Command post-Manticore 2.0. I may or may not have fantasies of Theisman hugging a stunned Eloise.... or a stunned Elizabeth and Eloise hugging each other.....

Incidently I can tell you someone has already converted this very scene into a fanfiction piece. It is one part of a single chapter work called "Five Scenes in the Life of Elizabeth III" written on Fanfiction.Net by Bracketyjack. It also includes Elizabeths reactions for several of Honors returns/triumphs (in order Post HoftQ, Post Hancock, during/post PY duel, Post 4th Yeltsin, and finally Post Cerberus escape).
