Well my daughter got married Wednesday. Me I took a week off, which is a good thing because Monday I felt kind of tired, but by Tuesday when they arrived in town I was down with the flu big time. I’ve spent the last three days being miserable and ill, and not fun at all.
But I completed my duty to you all with this…
From kotorfanmedia we have the amusing story from light bulb Switch - Part 1: Fish 'n' Ships of Forgotten Memories Trillian4210 gives us a partial amnesiac Exile with Lifelines, Part I. Evil Shall Giggle has Atris in a new light with The New Teacher, Chapter 1
And Revan’s Pet Duck gets the nod for best with Coup d'etat
Well back to being miserable…

Well the old year is going away and the new year will begin. As you might have noticed this is being posted early. That is because as a tech support person, they have decided my hours for New Years Day should cooincide with every other tech rep. Meaning I go to work Thursday from noon to nin, then come in the next morning 8AM to 5, then next week it goes back to normal. So I’m posting early because I won’t have time tomorrow.
From kotorfanmedia we have some good ones. Quibby leads off with My Damnation, Cursed One follows with Kreia's Journal. Nadia then gives us the amusing Padawan Pranks followed by ForceFightWme12 with Dark Decisions
Best of best was won twice by Prisoner24601 and Dinah Lance with Getting Burned and Collateral Damage
Lots of fun…Not! Signing off.

Twas the day before Christmas And sitting in bed, The Critic was working Not sleeping instead…
Enough poetry. My poetry is usually so bad that I even had characters commenting on it in stories I used to tell on stage. One reason I refuse to critique poems when I come to them.
From kotorfanmedia we have a number of good ones to see this week. Prisoner24601 and Dinah Lance start the ball rolling with Playing with Fire, followed by Delasaer Chval’s Mandalorian Wars - Tales from Both Sides: An Arm for the Taking. Alexandra gives us lust as a weapon with Ruin, and a shattered Revan returns in Darthjess’s Conditional Chapter I
But this week the nod is to Nitesh with the Exile returning to what she once was in Imitate. To all my readers, all seven or eight of you, I wish any Holiday joy you wish to celebrate. I myself will be working until 9, and supping on Ramen.
Signing off…

And sharing best of the week are GrimRabbit with Absolute Power and Joysweeper with Even In Death
So I have to run to take care of what I must. Signing off…

Source Discuss Alpha Protocol
Chris Avellone's company-friendly blog on the Obsidian Boards has been updated with a new article, "Alpha Protocol Narrative Process Backslash Ramble", in which our hero descends into the inner-most circles of the Underworld (Mundaniad CXII.52226) to "braindump on Alpha Protocol and the narrative process".
The final draft of Alpha Protocol began about a year and a half ago, and it occurred because of two iterative questions - the first was, "what if you don't kill the 'bad guy' at the end of Saudi Arabia and just talk to him instead?" And then we asked the same question in Moscow with a slightly different bent - what if you had more choices on how that end sequence played out? Then we started asking if we could switch around handlers on missions more often since there were some characters we thought would be cool giving you mission advice. And then we started asking if you could choose a lot more of the missions you wanted to take, rather than most of them. Read on, MacDuff.

| BioWare's Chris Priestly has posted the digital rights management and system requirements for Mass Effect 2 on BioWare's forums. Players of the original Mass Effect game will likely be pleased to find out that online activation will not continue in ME2. Scheduled for North American release on January 26 of 2010 on PC and Xbox 360, Mass Effect 2 will continue the story of Commander Shepherd, this time on a suicide mission to save the galaxy.

All in all an interesting week. Only two weeks to go before I go to visit my daughter, and more good stuff to read from kotorfanmedia.
We start off with Reprise picks. As you might or might not know, I didn’t start giving out Picks of the week until halfway through 2007, so these people are getting belated kudos. We have Exile Starrcast with Atonement SithAngel77’s Sacrifice and Darth Meatbag’s Message in a data pad.
Then the stuff that is new to me but still good; Dinah Lance and Prisoner24601 With Smoke and Mirrors Arrow with Warmth and Rawtooth with Daughters...
But best of the best is split this week. Kosiah shows a gentler side at the start of the Dark Lord with Gifts and Turtle gives us the degeneration of a hero in Angels fall First
Well busy, busy, busy. See you all next week…

Yet another column, and the third one done on a Friday the 13th this year. So to get to it everything below is from kotorfanmedia and as always, some really good stuff.
From Eji we get A Second Chance, Mellyna finally gets a belated Reprise Pick with Promise, Ivory Chopstick Shows us an eight year old Atton in The Necklace, we see a war weary Exile in Dinah Lance’s Intercession Shike77 gives us an alternate beginning with Defluo: Nyx Kitome makes them all kids again with Kitome Wild Guess
And sharing Best of the best. Two reprise picks from three years ago, Palmetto with Parallax and Gekkeiju with Release
Well, in 21 days I will see my daughter for the first time in 20 years. I’m looking forward to it.

I have finally set a date for when I am going to see my daughter, and now I am merely counting the days before that event. In a way this is history repeating itself; I last saw my father when I was 7 right before the divorce, and didn’t get to see him again until I was 30. I was considering that, then remembered what followed after. I just hope history doesn’t repeat itself the same way…
This week everything is from kotorfanmedia but tht just means more good stuff to me. It starts with MoonMythology’s poignant Unspoken: Part 1 Arrow Receives a belated Pick with [Url=http://hawk.kotorfanmedia.com/node/40] Hindsight Chapter 1/url] as does Icey Cold’s Discipline then scores again with The Nar Shaddaa Massacre, Chapter 1 Firera scores twice; once with Betrayal of Hearts and ties for pick of the week with The Darkness Descends, Chapter 1 - The End Is Only The Beginning Schmoopy gets in with Lessons and last but not least, tying with Firera is Kosiah with Memory / Chapter 1 / Journeys
Now I just have to figure out how to afford a PS3...
