Hi fellow players:
I sort of get the feeling that I might have gone in the wrong direction with the current storyline involving Abby, Amy, Fallel, etc... I've pulled out everything that pertains to Amy's pregnancy and the installation of her consciousness inside a cylon centurion for the good of the game. The things I was straying into were beyond what Battlestar Galactica was or is about. If we don't preserve it's good name, who the heck will, right?
So as of this time, Amy is not pregnant, and her consciousness is still trapped on the discs Fallel was just ordered to stop work on.
I hope this doesn't screw up anything anyone else was working on.
Thanks for reading! (This message will selfdestruct next time I log in...)
Play on! -Amy

Amy,
I truly hope you change your mind. You've given us one of the most creative, thought provoking stories that we've ever had. The show was only on one year, who's to say what is or isn't BSG? The Cylons are robots based on human form, I see what you've written as something that very well might have happened if the show had continued. I hope you'll reconsider.

No kidding, Amy. I agree with Brie... Please don't pull out of that storyline. Does that mean Brie isn't Amy's real mother?
I'll let you in on a little secret, Amy... The Hawke/Iblis thing on my last storyline, I felt like I was betraying what the true spirit of what the game was all about. But nobody said anything so I kept drawing it out. It turned out to be one of my better stories.

Thanks for the kind words on my behalf. Maybe I was wrong, but I don't think so... and the Brie as Amy's mom thing still is there. I think that was separate...
Oh yeah, for anyone curious as to where it was all heading...
The centurion Amy eventually would die on a mission to infiltrate a base ship or some sort of mission along those lines... (perfect spy, huh?) but after a lot of the centurion wanting to be shut down, Abby trying to do it for her, etc...
The baby was Charybdis's, but probably is lost due to miscarriage, but it creates a lot of strain on the Astraea/Amy question and the relationship between them and Charybdis...
The brat slowly regains her memory naturally as her mind heals, but questions are raised about exactly what that makes the cylon Amy if the 'real' one has woken up...
But like all great melodrama, it would have ended with everything back the way it was at the start... and since that was the case, why bother in the first place, right?
Thanks for the support though. A lot of thought went into what I'd posted! It just got off the track a little I guess!
-Amy

Oh yeah, Hawke, your story was really well done. You have to be careful where Iblis is concerned, and I thought you handled it all very well! Very creative... You can get out there a little with Iblis I think, but to just have people getting their brain downloaded into a centurion... that's bananas I guess. Too much for the average BSG fan, right?

Amy,
I'm very sorry to read this. I thought you were doing a great job with the story and the direction it was taking. However, I'm sure you'll do a great job with the new work as well. We'll just have to wait a little while to read it now!
Good luck,
Lucian

Amy, I don't understand what brought this on all of sudden. I was really getting worked up about this coming storyline since I was going to be a major part of it, and now this!!!??
I'm sorry you felt that you had strayed too far from the concepts, but they were not really that far, at least your pregnancy part! Heck, we have Brie talking to her dead husband!!!
Anyway, let me know if you want to work on something.

No thanks, Al, but thanks. The plan is to be more of a follower. I felt like I'd gone off into some uncharted territory, then turned around to see that no one was following me. I just got carried away as the story sort of got a life of it's own. Not necessarily a good thing when the subject matter is way off base. I've always zigged when others zagged here, but with so few people posting these days I just felt what I was doing was influencing things and dominating things too much. Plus it wasn't a traditional Galactica story anyway. I didn't want to force anyone to go anywhere they didn't want to.
Tony, I'll let others determine where things are going, then jump back in sometime. My characters are all sort of in a limbo of some sort, so it's a good time to let somebody else take the lead. I have nothing written and nothing planned at this point. Everything is backed up to that earlier point where work has been halted on the discs and the brat is being prepared for organ donorship... Abby, having ordered the disc work stopped, is off trying to help the agroship via limited com connections, and I think that's it.
I hope everybody has a great summer. I'll be on when I can. Probably tomorrow actually if anyone wants to talk story or something. Once volleyball starts I'm going to have less chances to be on!
-Amy

Amy, my dear friend and fictitious biological daughter,
I still hope you’ll reconsider. See, I’m not the only one who really enjoyed what you were doing. And as I said before, I don’t think it’s non-BSG. The humans were doing experiments on the Cylons that they had in the series, it goes to reason that the Cylons would do experiments on humans as well. Having the two mixed like you did is brilliant. Better than brilliant, pure genius. You’re robbing our game of potentially the best story we’ve ever had.
A couple of notes, yes, Brie is still Amy’s bio-mom. Or was she lying to save her skin from the Agro Ship workers?
And since it’s been brought up, Brie is not actually conversing with her dead husband. It’s always through dreams, and I’ve tried to make that known. Whether or not her dreams are really happening is up to each individual reader to decide.

Amy,
I'm very disappointed that we can't complete your storyline, which I was enjoying immensely, and I'm sorry if it didn't seem like I was going along recently. Fact is, I just haven't been here much at all--generally just enough to keep up with recent posts and wish I had time to write more myself. I've just had too many life distractions over the past few weeks, some of which will be around for a while....
