Stories of
I edited two interactive zines called the Choose Your Own Journey series. They are no longer available.
I also participated in Round 3 of the Robin-A-Tumble stories, a collaborative round-robin of Earth 2 storybuilding.
The following stories and filks are listed in the order I wrote them.
Stories forming a series will be listed next to each other.
| "Lost Worlds" | ||
| Size: | short story; 8,458 words; 55K | |
| Main Characters: | Mostly one of my own, some of Devon Adair | |
| Setting: | Prior to the launch of the Roanoke | |
| Notes: | My entrance into the "Spy on Board" contest. | |
| Synopsis: | Dison Blalock plants another spy into the midst of Eden Project. She's prepared for anything that might stop her – she thinks. |
| "The Universe Sometimes Keeps Her Secrets" |
|
|||
| Size: | short story; 4,196 words; 30K | |||
| Main Characters: | True and Ulysses | |||
| Setting: | On board the Roanoke just before the crash | |||
| Notes: | My attempted entrance into the "Uly's Father" contest. I do not consider this story to be canonical. | |||
| Synopsis: | Ulysses Adair chooses his timing perfectly to ask Devon those dreaded questions about where he came from. | |||
| "The Siren's Song" | ||
| Size: | short story; 8,427 words | |
| Main Characters: | Danziger and Alonzo | |
| Setting: | Two weeks before the launch of the Roanoke | |
| Notes: | I donated "The Siren's Song" to the New Pacificon '98 Conzine, a fundraiser to help pay for an Earth 2 convention in 1998. I obtained permission from one of the editors to post this story on my web site also, since that fanzine has sold out. | |
| Synopsis: | Buckle your seat belt for this one! John Danziger and Alonzo Solace get more than they bargained for, and lots of explosive action, when they answer a distress call from the Siren's Song. | |
| "Heroes" | ||
| Size: | novellette; 29,973 words; 204K | |
| Main Characters: | None from the show | |
| Setting: | 200 years after the events of Earth 2 | |
| Notes: | I wrote this story to coincide with the one-year anniversary of EvacPod Con, and I slipped a lot of in-jokes about that trip into it. "Heroes" also comes with a humorous story-before-and-after-the-story. The main character of "Heroes," in a way, is also meant to be a polite parody of science fiction fans. | |
| Synopsis: | Archaeologist Anna LeClark sets out to uncover the secrets of the Founding Fifteen – the legendary members of Eden Advance. But her trip to uncover the past turns into a journey of her own when she comes to grips with just what it is that she's searching for. | |

| Size: | short-short story; 1,032 words; 8K | |
| Main Characters: | John Danziger | |
| Setting: | 3 years after the arrival of the colony ship | |
| Notes: | Just something funny I wrote one day. This story assumes Devon got out of cold sleep, and I do not consider this story to be canonical. | |
| Synopsis: | Danziger has to suffer through another birthday. | |
| "Be Ever Vigilant" | ||
| Size: | short-short story; 340 words; 3K | |

| Setting: | One summer day during the journey. | |
