I actually had made some progress on the short I’ve been working on, but I felt it was too insubstantial to warrant a post. Also, to be honest, the string of little stubby posts was getting rather bland and felt like a waste of everyone’s time.

All this being said, I’ve made more significant strides this time around and also did a little dialog for yet another short. I swear, I’m going to have just about every significant episode of every major character’s life chronicled by the time I’m done. ^_^;

Something that I feel like noting is a little timeline shift I had to do last week. The short I’m focusing on deals with Lydia’s parents. (Yes, parents plural. Her late mother features prominently in this one.) Anyway, I was looking at the dates for everything and I realized that I had them meeting a year after Leia was born. Oops. ^_^; Yes, I had to do a little shifting there. At first I considered moving Leia’s birth up a year, but her time at the Academy has to be where it is, so instead I just made Luka and Annabeth (the folks) a year older and had them first meet in 079 instead of 080.

Why do the years Leia was at the Academy need to be fixed, you ask? Well, she was part of the pilot program (pun intended) for using superlights against the Shellies. I mean, yes, they did crossrate a number of aerial pilots for space operations, but members of Leia’s class were among the first to be trained from the ground up specifically for superlights. Fun fact: A classmate in this same program, one Stalinslav Zhukov. Who’s that? You’d know him better as Pride, the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins. Yes, it’s a pretty small world in the Tico series. I’ve got a pretty long list of all the little confluences that occur. It’s pretty interesting, really, to me at least.

Anyway, it’s looking like we’ll have another short tomorrow. Stay tuned.
