I’ve updated What Happened to Spock today but AO3 has been a major pain for the last couple of days so who knows if you will ever get to read it!

I’ve also got a good jump on the next chapter of Nine Lives.

Once that has been finished, I’ll tackle When I Loved You. When last I left it, Jim and young Jim were being threatened by a tiger-like creature on a strange planet.

There will be an update of 100 words tomorrow and Friday.

Not sure what comes after When I Loved You because I can’t get into AO3 to see, but I think it “may” be Anything. In any event, I may update something that or something else if the opportunity comes.

In August 2012, I visited this area of Hawaii where Kilauea is currently erupting. It is an area that is always active but not to the extent it has been lately. We stood at the Park overlooking Kilauea that year, amazed at nature at work. It was pointed out to me yesterday that it was 2012, whereas, it seems to me like it could have been yesterday. What a tragedy to befall the residents there. Like anywhere where natural disaster can hit (earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, etc) you always know it “CAN” happen but you never quite think it will until it does. Hawaii is such a beautiful place but much of its beauty has been shaped by volcanoes and the like, just like many other places.

Anyway, I thought it was sort of interesting to have been to that place in the past. Probably only to me! HA.

    I did read the newest chapter of What Happened to Spock, but can’t leave a comment on it due to the Archive acting up. Hope the Enterprise crew is okay. I love how even as a kid, Spock still likes to take care of Jim.
    Super excited for Nine Lives!!! It is the one I like the most among your stories for now!
    Hope nothing too bad happen to Hawaii. I guess knowing the danger is there is different from feeling it actually approaching

      Even then there were tiny little eruptions but nothing like what is going on now. I saw a video of lava swallowing a car. Wow.

      I know that one is your favorite. I hope I can live up to your expectations with that πŸ™‚

    I think it’s interesting that just a few years ago you saw exactly the place that is now erupting

      I did. I stood in that exact spot in the picture. And it looked like that. Not at all what it looks like now.

      Thanks!

    Yeah for updates.! Just read What Happened to Spock. Loved it!!! <3. I saw ao3 acting quirky earlier. I blamed my wi-fi/data cause apparently I've run out of free data with two weeks left before my billing cycle ends! Arghhh!

    Love your photo. I too visited that area years ago . Surreal. Otherworldly and there was no volcanic activity on the Big Island at the time except steam. Can't imagine living there now with the threat of lava flow! The goddess Pele must be angry. Hope no one is hurt!

      I confess the picture came from the National Park’s site but I have one similar for sure! πŸ™‚ That’s so cool that you were there too. Sorry about the data. That’s why I switch back between phone and laptop.

    I have a similar photo too… from 1987 and 1992. It was fairly dormant then.
