Needy, that sounds good. I look forward to reading it. I'm currently stalled with Boros. I don't want it to be simply a rehash of the Sereni-Tree thread but that's the way it's headed.
Is yours going to be a comedy, carrying on with the threads theme, or are you going to try and go the more serious route?
Either way, I'll read it.

Not sure yet - I'm thinking a comedy, but I believe some bits will be serious, but you never know I may make light on it. Depends on what writing mood I'm in at the time. Right now, I expect it to be comedy/drama/epic - I should be so lucky
No it should be light hearted, though I'm inspired by the music I listen to, and today I was listening to Battlestar Galactica music and thought, maybe I could incorporate some deadly serious moments too
Edited to add that I've posted the Prologue to "A Boy Whore's Destiny" in the blue sun room. Not big on laughs granted, but at least I've started it. Now I just need to continue it

Needy, very good intro!! I'm very curious now to see where it goes.

I'm so glad we have our crew thread now that the UB is shutting down! I'd be so sad to lose all the crazy times we've been having!
Oh, and:
*Serenity and Amylisai take down the various holiday decorations and hang up glittering disco balls and silvery streamers. (But they leave the menorah up because Hannukah isn't over yet.) The last of the cookies are finished off and Flechette turns out chocolate bonbons instead. The party switches from Hannukah and Christmas to New Years. Glasses of champagne appear. Everyone carries on as normal.*

Oooo... I'd be interested in that!
I'm hatching an idea for a bit of backstory for you for Boros Bound, but I've hit a creative block. I've set up a base, I just need to flesh out the story.

Oh, my backstory isn't all that terribly interesting.
I went to school for agriculture on some far-from-home planet. My parents wanted me to stay where I was and settle down, but I wanted to see a bit of the 'verse. After college I worked with a sort of peace corp group teaching people on some of the rim planets how to irrigate and grow veggies and all that. I ended up on the TREE when they stopped at a planet I was on and my brother called me over the cortex. I was having a bad time with the residents of said planet (I don't remember which one it was, Black Diamond maybe?) so I packed up my stuff and moved into the TREE.
There could be more. Who knows what I was doing all that time of those various planets when I wasn't teaching irrigation and whatnot. I could have had all kinds of adventures.

Where and how did someone who teaches agriculture learn to fight and weild Katana's?
Safe looks out a port window at the frozen planet they are currently "visiting". A flash of light in the distance catches his eye.
"Great, now I gotta put on my snowsuit and boots and mittens and go check that out. Maybe I can salvage parts to get Destiny back into the air."

I don't know how I learned to weild katanas. Someone left a bunch lying around on the TREE and I picked 2 up. No one ever questioned. I'll have to think about it. If you have any suggestions....
Permaybehaps my peace corps activities were just a cover for my "real" work, which would be some sort of espionage. hmm.

Ok, here's what i have so far... you did say your work took you to some backwater planets to help with terraforming and such. A planet being terraformed is not inhabited at first by the "cream of the crop" so to speak. The work often requires hard labour at low wages, hence hard, desperate men and women are the initial inhabitants.
On one trip, you befriend a Chinese lady ousted by her family for killing a loutish husband. She teaches you the art of weilding the Katanas in exchange for your help recreating an authentic chinese garden for her. You found this knowledge helpful in defending yourself from the louts and hardcases what worked there. And had to use that knowledge on more than one occasion.
It gets darker from there but...
