Fan Fiction

In February 2013, about 8 months after watching the glory and the disappointment of Prometheus, I decided to write a fan fiction short - about 5,000 words - as an attempt to correct the failings of Ridley Scott's film. After that I wrote a longer story, about 40,000 words, as a sequel to Prometheus. I used the characters: Elizabeth and David (David's head). The story was set on board the ship of a new crew of 'Engineers'. I loved writing this story. A few days after completing it I wrote a sequel to that story and set it about 4 centuries later where the crew of an Earth based ship discover Elizabeth and David on LV426. Elizabeth is pregnant. David receives a new body. Aliens are brought on board the new ship and eventually all hell breaks loose. Unfortunately I didn't complete it before starting university and so ended by writing a short breakdown of the climax. I loved writing this story too. It was about 80,000 words. All together, these two fan fiction stories came to around 130,000 words which is a medium-long novel. I had hoped to write a final story about the arrival on Earth of the Xenomorphs and the destruction they cause. I had touched on this at the beginning of the sequel. Unfortunately this remains as unwritten as the denouement of the sequel. The titles of the stories were The Harvest and Second Harvest. Maybe the final story would've been titled Winter Harvest. It's with regret that I never completed the trilogy. The Xenomorph universe is part of my DNA.

Meme

There's an Internet meme where there is a young lad sat in front of a computer and he's straining like a motherfucker. The subtitles usually read something like 'When you're a vegan/feminist/transsexual and you haven't told anyone for 10 seconds'. I'd like to use this meme and change it to 'When a friend posts a photo of themselves with a new haircut and everyone is complimenting them on their new 'do' and all you want to do is write 'OH MY GOD WHAT NICE FUCKING TITS YOU'VE GOT!'

But I'm a gentleman, so I don't write this.
