Empires  (United States)

Ty, 

When can we get an update (or rewrite) of Empires? Have you lost interest in it? I thought is was a fantastic story and was waiting for Exodus to be finished.


Dont' test me...I could be one of those bad things that happens to people like you!

Re: Empires  (N/A)

I have a question for you.  I will definitely be reposting Empires, even moreso now that someone has actually asked for it.  But would you prefer to have the SF related version or a new rewritten version?  Because you've been waiting, I feel that I should continue the way I started it.  Thank you very much for your post, it was a lovely surprise to know there is still an Empires fan out there.

Re: Empires  (United States)

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I like it a little more than Storm Front .  I'd like for you to continue where you left off actually, though if you had some revisons that you were thinking about, I'd like to read those too.  Were you thinking about redoing the ENTIRE story?  That's a LOT of writing! How many seasons were you originaly planning?

Sarah is a kick ass captain and I was more than a little upset about Mike. How is the Earth going to handle this war with a civilization that far outstrips them in terms of technology?  Will they accept someone as young as Sarah as the leader to lead them in the fighting?

What's going to happen with Marcel and Dade now that Dade's a Watcher (or whatever he's become)? 

What King's going to do when he finds out what Storm survived?  What that clone of Lucas will do, and what the REAL Lucas is doing?

What's Storm going to do with Clair since it's been discover that she a spy? Family aside, she WAS the reason King tortured him.

My favorite scene in the S4 is when Storm tells the Mantis to  "Come Play With Me," and proceeds to wipe the planet with them! 

I have a lot more questions, but then I'd never stop asking...Now I have to go back and read it again, and it's been a while since the last time I read it.

Re: Empires  (N/A)

Wow, you really do know your Empires!  It's good to see!  I'm going to open a forum area just for Empires where you can keep posting any specific questions you have.  I love Sarah's role in Empires.  She plays one hell of a tough chick.  Did you ever get a chance to read Team Earth?  If not, then you should be looking forward to reading it once I repost it. 

As for your questions ...

  1. Yes, I was thinking about redoing the entire story.  But I am leaning against against it now.  I just want to finish it how I started it.  I'll edit it some and tidy it up, but leave it at that for now.  Seasons?  Empires doesn't really work off Seasons, but it is a pentad.  And I'm almost at the end of the 4th part or mini-season, if you want to call it that. 
  2. As for your next two questions.  Read 'Team Earth' when it is reposted and both those questions will be answered.
  3. Marcel and Dade?  Here's hoping they have a better ending in Empires than they did in Storm Front.
  4. What will King do?  Something major, I imagine.  As for the other two, the Clone is unpredictable, but the real Lucas has more power than he lets on.  Once again, I urge you to read Team Earth to understand fully what I refer to.
  5. Claire?  Probably have her executed.  She is the infiltrator.  So who knows.  He may sympathize with her, or banish her, or just throw her in jail.  Which sucks for Josh, because as you know, in Empires, Josh and Claire are very much in love.

Re: Empires  (N/A)

I did get read Team Earth, but only the first part, I didn't realize there was a 2nd part to it. When I pulled it up on my comp. there was a link to the 2nd part that I didn't notice, and it actually worked when I clicked it.  So I'm going to start reading the second part, though I really should start over from the beginning so I won't be confused by some of the thing happening.  I did skim the last few chapter of part one though, 52.3 million casualties and only New Zealand was spared. *cough cough*  Where are you from?   You said that you were thinking about rewriting the entire thing, were you planning to go in another direction or stick primarily to what you'd originally written?

I don't REALLY want Storm to kill Claire, maybe interrogation with a little torture thrown in for good measure to find out what she actually told the enemy.  See how she likes it.  I can't remember if he knows her well enough to feel guilty or not for torturing or having her tortured.

I DO want Marcel and Dade to be happy together, though I REALLY wanted he (Marcel) and Storm get together after Storm's heritage and Marcel's purpose came to light.  (Damned Lucas! ) Though when he did get fixed, Marcel was fierce and I liked seeing him that way.

I LIKE Ravik!!!

Will Empires V: Rage be the final Pentad? As you can see, I've stored practically EVERYTHING about Empires because I was on the edge of my seat wating for the next chapter to be written.

Re: Empires  (N/A)

Where am I from?  Ermm ... NEW ZEALAND! hehehe

Stick primarily, but tidy up and flesh out.  I'm tidying up the first chapter now for reposting.  And some scenes will play out a little differently for clarity.

I doubt Storm would kill Claire. 

And yes, Rage is the final part of the pentad.  What did you think of Team Earth 2?

Re: Empires  (United States)

I didn't get a chance to read it!!!   My stupid computer crashed, when I got it back I a weeks vacation. 

External hardrives are the best, I have EVERYTHING on it!  I'm going to read it when I get home and then I'm going to start reading Redux. 

I'm glad to have my computer fixed and be back online!  As I said earlier, I've been waiting AGES for this story and I'm not about to miss it!!!
