Hey cpbell- congratualtions on starting another postbac course.  If you need any help with AlexG's weekly nightly homework assignments (he is a stern taskmaster… ;)) you need only ask- I'll be more than happy provide drool and I have a very competent and discreet underground source for drip-towels…

Ah.  I feel blessed…

I just came back from an open house, meeting my various students' parents, and new Tetsuko is waiting for me.  It just doesn't get much better. 🙂

"Given that part of it is going to take place in a laboratory setting and part of it will occur on a construction site, I'm curious what events people would like to see."

I remember seeing a machine in a lab once which tested metal bars. It pulled them apart until they finally snapped (With quite a bang if I recall). I suppose they must break down occasionally. 🙂

And I'm sure there's lots of interesting things Sylph could help with on a construction site – especially if any of the neavy vehicles break down – cranes, diggers, trucks…

And there's also demolition… so long as she demolished the right building. 🙂

Hey, I'm not saying she's clumsy but mistakes happen. 🙂

Hmmm.  Metal fatigue?  There's an intersting idea…

I'll see what I can do with that (I think I have an idea how to work it into the lab scene- just have to find the time to actually write…)

This is purely a W.A.G., but have you checked through the Amazon Growth Stories section at DtV?  A lot of the older stuff is kept there, some pure drek, but some quite good as well.  If could be that the story you're looking for is hiding out in there somewhere…

Sorry I'm not more help, but your description sounded like Gina the Amazon to me, too, and it's not ringing any other bells at the moment.

Okay- well, the good news is that I finally finished one of the writing projects that I was working on- the harder one, too, inceidentally, and it seems to have been fairly well received (not a lot of comments, but the comments that I've gotten thus far have been overwhelmingly positive.)  That gives me a bit of motivation to get back to Sylph, since she is far-and-away everyone's favorite creation of my warped and demented little mind.

The bad news is that I have a lot of RL work to do- 3 papers from 3 different classes to grade (sure they're small classes, but that's still over 180 papers, most of them essays, and most of them written with a casual disregard for grammar that borders on sadism) as well as two weeks of journals from one class.  I also have an open house to prepare for, 3 pretests to grade (I think I'm going to hand that off to my TA), and lessons to plan for.  None of this will stop me from writing, of course, but it will undoubtedly slow me down some.

Anyway, the next Sylph story will cover her first days on the job(s) and what befalls as a result.  Given that part of it is going to take place in a laboratory setting and part of it will occur on a construction site, I'm curious what events people would like to see (I have plans already, but if I get some fun suggestions, I'll try to work them in either in this story or in a future one) and also, once again, what name sounds good to people.  Drop a line and let me know. ;D

Toldya they'd like it. 😉

Very nice, lance_falzon!

Hmm.  Joker meets Powergirl- not a comforting thought…

I only noticed after posting my message that someone had done a similar thread.I appalogize for the redundency of it,im new to this site and that was my first post.in the future I will do more lurking befor posting.and thanks for your responces. ;D

Don't worry about it, fonebone- we all make mistakes from time to time.  Good to see you didn't actually vaporize into the ether. ;D

Very pretty, Mimi- I am in awe.

Hmm.  This is… interesting… I was the only person to vote for Matilda from Leon the Professional, but somehow she got transformed into something wholly other that I've never even heard of.

I'm guessing the reason is because Matilda was still significantly underage at the end of the movie (I'd been planning to advance the story significantly into the future and write something similar to an underworld version of the Cold Fury stories I've been writing, but focusing more on Matilda being really, really big and strong as opposed to just pure death in blue jeans) but I don't know.  Anyway, if we're going with option 2, maybe I'll do a Kayleigh/Zoe story for Firefly, instead.  I'll have to give it some thought.
