Coming Attractions: Tales of the Moyann
Writing "A Promise Kept" got me so interested in the characters that I just had to tell more of their stories. I'm calling this collection "Tales of the Moyann" for now, even though not all of the stories are about that installation proper. If you think of a better idea, please let me know. To be included:
Before
"In Motion"
"Can you teleport?" "Little things."
In which the riots start, and one of the reasons is surprised by humanity
"The Journey Out"
" . . . a small, wickedly sharp knife clattering to the ground . . ."
In which a young woman with a damn good reason to be angry finds a better way to live
"Trade"
" . . . her childhood friend Lesana . . ."
In which two almost-sisters just miss gaining a brother
"Through the Walls"
" . . . older than us by seven . . ."
In which Moyann joins the Points, and a couple of young old soldiers meet
"Called Out"
" . . . and usually managed to keep it from being noticed."
In which a natural becomes a teacher, and a student becomes a confidante
After
"Will"
"You're blue, and you're fuzzy."
In which one of our heroines faces important decisions with big consequences
"Inheritance"
"You will find the truth, and you will see it through your own blood."
In which a pattern acquires a second link, a second small miracle happens, and someone has second thoughts
"Visitation"
"It needs to be because it's what I truly want."
In which we find out what happens at bachelor parties
"Awakening"
"You will learn more about that later."
In which the next generation learns what it can do, and even those who know what will happen get a little scared
I couldn't come up with quotes for these last two.
"Seeing Things"
In which a daughter doesn't want to follow in anyone's footsteps, and a son learns the meaning of acceptance
"Two Will Go Forth"
In which we find out what the rest of the world has been doing all this time
Most of these are replaceable titles. On the other hand, "Trade," "Will," "Awakening," and "Seeing Things" (formerly "The Code") are firmly set, so if you're ever planning to suggest replacements, please don't try doing it with any of those. I've started five of them on paper or virtual paper and I'm thinking of making a page with a bar graph of some sort to keep track of how many pages each one takes up in its WP file. Oh, and I hate to say it, but with these I'll probably only be posting full drafts, to avoid the "What happens next?" syndrome that makes reviewers antsy and tends to make me smug. If there's something I desperately need feedback on before writing a story or part of one, though, I'll post what I have so that you can help out.
