(I am writing stuff btw. I'm not JUST RPing)

"when we first met, I was a musician named Yirud and my therapist was an engineer in the arms industry and Yirud hated them for ethical reasons. While my instinct at first was to hate my therapist too, we get on quite well. Perhaps because in between I've been a war veteran"

(finished entry no. 1. It's half 1 in the morning here so I'll tidy it up tomorrow and put it up either in a wordpress site or AO3 or both. I've already started on part 2)

archiveofourown.org/works/58992211 Entry 1: Mak'ala and the Symbiosis Commission is now up. (feedback gratefully received)

(should I use photos of actors+characters to represent the various characters and hosts? I dont have the budget to commission art for this project)

(BTW, silly idea: putting in occasional music recommendations from a mix of real and fictional bands from across the Federation :P )

Part 2: Leaving the Ground and Leaving Orbit From Mak'ala to Gateway Island to orbit to a Starship out of the system archiveofourown.org/works/58992211…

Authors note: I (or rather Xala) have tried this and I think I am still hungover 45 years and an entire host later.

Is it too lazy to say anything Neomartial? Not just Greenists but any blending of popular music with atomfascist ideology. I've never been a fan of Hyperretro like Bell53. Post war invoking of past music in a self aware ironic commentary of WW3. It gets old fast.

So many things. Where do I start. Foods I used to like and now dislike. Vice versa. Hobbies, books, music I also whistle a lot when concentrating. Something Maziri (2248-2289) did I also have the enthusiasm for singing a precious host (a singer) had, but none of the skill

archiveofourown.org/works/58992211… Days 3 and 4: A brief Interlude Kinaran recommends some books and records on his journey.

(stuck on the first part of the DS9 bit of this fic. I wanted to include a canon character. Do I have it be Julian Bashir , who saved the symbiont when the previous host died. Or do I have it be a chance encountered with Ezri Dax and that the two previous symbionts have met?)

Trek nerds. Pick who I include in my Trill fic Across the Alpha Quadrant ? Dr Bashir or Ezri Dax Bashir: saved the main characters symbionts life after the host dies Ezri Dax: meets her at a war memorial and both symbionts have met before
