Crossover Idea(s)

(Or am I the only who noticed this ?)
 
Hello World,
 
A short post today. But I have this thing knocking around in my head for ages.
As many a Whovian will be able to tell you, the coordinates for Gallifrey are 10-0-11-0-0 By 0-2.
 
But now looks what happens if we count the numbers we have. (Ignoring the by, since its not a number.) Ten (1) zero (2) eleven (3) zero (4) zero (5) zero (6) two (7)
                                                                                          
This leaves us with seven numbers. Now if we add /\ (Earth's point of origin) , this starts to look a lot like an intergalactic Stargate address hiding in plain sight.
 
 
 
 
But wait....isn't it impossible to use a glyph more then once in a Gate address ? Indeed, but if add the position in the sequence to the number, this problem is solved. (So 10 + 1, zero + 2, etc.)
 
The new sequence would be 11, 2, 14, 4, 5,6, 9 and then PoO. Presuming the PoO is zero and not counted, we can figure out the actual sequence by counting (rotation wise) from PoO. (So 11 is the 11th symbol, 2 is the 2nd, etc.) So maybe, just maybe....Gallifrey has a back door ?
 
Edit: After completing my original post, I was watching Twin Destiny's (Stargate Universe) and wondered something...
 
Eli assumed what happened was a freak of physics. But what if it wasn't ? What if the Time Lords want Destiny to complete its mission as well ? They have the know-how, the technology (the Hand of Omega) to manipulate stars and the perfect cover story. The Doctor Who Television show. If anybody brings up the possibility, they will be shot down, because the Time Lords are a fictional species.
 
And on top of that, who created the Hand of Omega ? Omega. The thing is....the symbol omega looks a lot like a Stargate with the bottom part hidden under the floor. Like it is on Atlantis and Destiny. Coincide ? Decide for yourself.
 
Regards,

Stargate Universe Reboot Pitch



Hello World,

After a period of nothing to post, I am happy to report that I now have some news. To begin with, I have written a pitch for a Stargate Universe reboot. (Based on Stargate: Nova Roma.) And then I send said reboot out to several actors - and even a General - hoping to rally support for it. So, who did I send an old-fashioned paper copy ?

1)      General David L. Goldfein - Chief of Staff, USAF
2)      Mr. Goran Visnijic - Actor
3)      Mr. Paul McGillion - Actor
4)      Mr. David Nykl - Actor
5)      Mr. Corin Nemec - Actor
6)      Ms. Amanda Tapping – Actress
7)   Mr. Robert Carlyle - Actor

Of course, let's be realistic, the chance of getting a reply are probably reaaaaallly low (if not sub-zero). But sometimes you have to roll a hard six. And if nobody replies, what will I have wasted ? Some of my spare time, some paper and some stamps. It won't be the end of the world.

And yes, I know that some people would consider this attitude a bit defeatist. The problem, however, is that I merely a fan and not part of the industry. And when you are not part of industry, the response of agents towards your ideas tends be...

 

On a side note, for those of you reading Stargate Nova Roma....when writing SGNR, I try to write it as if it is a television show. Of course, SGNR does not have budget limitations, so that I was able to pull off some things that would never fly on television. (Such as the crew being a mix of New Asurans, Humans, Ursini and Nakai rebels.)

Also, in my pitch, Mr. Visnijic - known for playing Dr. Luka Kovac on ER -  plays Colonel Vale. So, next time you read one of my chapters, you might want to add that face to the mental picture. (Or not, it's up to you.)

Game Front

Episodes 2 and 3 of the Freedom Chronicles have come out. They were much fun. And although the general attitude seems to be that Wolfenstein II is done on the DLC front, I'm hoping that the E3 conference will include news on further expansions. But E3 2018 is still a couple of months away, so only time will tell.

Politics

This week saw elections over here in the Netherlands. The city council was up for voting and there was a referendum on a new security law. Also, a man attempted to commit suicide in the Tweede Kamer (the Dutch Senate). All in all, this has been a stormy week in politics over here in the Netherlands.

And while I cannot speak for the rest of the country, there's a good chance that it's not over here in Zwolle. (Or as I call it, Zwollywood.) Apparently, the big parties here don't really get along. So, forming a coalition should be....interesting.

And for now....that's all, folks !

News Round-up

Hello world,

Here I am again. And don't worry, I have not abandoned my blog. It's just that, for the last few months, there has not been anything to write - or in this case, the internet - home about. Basically, the last few months have been boredom. Fortunately, this was followed by some quality time with the family. And now what little news I have managed to scrape together...

Yeah !

First things first ! Happy New Year everybody !

Bullhorn

This book had been kind of on hold. I had a chunk of it written the old-fashioned way - aka pen and paper - but in November, I spent a week typing out said chunk. Since then, I have been working on it. The work has been slow, but I'll take what I can get.

Game Front

Bought Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and finished it. (One VERY good game.) Now waiting for Episode 2 of the Freedom Chronicles. Also playing Fallout 4. So plenty of action happening there.

Alas, as busy as things have been on the PC, so quiet things have been in Frontier Fleet. Posting has been slow. Hopefully things will pick up in January.

Show Front

Been re-watching all seasons of ER. Great show !

And that's all folks.

Regards,

Six More Chapters

Hello world,

I seriously tried to continue my NCIS story, but my muse refused service. It just didn't work. So I just kept going with Stargate Nova Roma. I ended up writing six more chapters. The first four are Chapter 13 through 16 of the original story, which I have (kind of) renamed Season One.

So, what about the last two chapters ? Well, I am happy to announce that they are the start of Stargate Nova Roma - Season 2. In order to allow readers to filter out Season 2 chapters, I added a new label (NR-2). I also changed the chapter names. In season 1, the Chapter Title format was Stargate Nova Roma - Chapter ?....The new one is SG Nova Roma - Chapter 2.? (Hopefully, this format will continue in use for a looong time.)

And that's all, folks.

And another Four !

Hello world,

So...I ended up riding a wave a of inspiration a bit longer then planned. Chapter 9 of Nova Roma went up on 23 July, followed by Chapter 10 on 29 July. Then I began work on Chapter 11. The thing was....Chapter 11 (which was posted on 6 August) ended on a cliffhanger.

And it just felt wrong to leave said cliffhanger unresolved. (That's one of the reason's I started this story, so that I could - hopefully - one day, solve what happened to Eli.) And today I posted Chapter 12. As for Chapter 13 ?....well, that is unlucky. Unlucky because it will have to wait. Tomorrow I am resuming work on my NCIS story. Later.

Two more chapters..

Hello World,

So, there is good news and bad news. The bad news is that my NCIS isn't going anywhere at the moment. The good news is that the reason it isn't going anywhere is because I have been working on Stargate: Nova Roma. Since publishing Chapter 6 - see previous entry - I have put out Chapter 7 (on 15 July) and Chapter 8 (22 July/today).

And now I am starting work on Chapter 9. But don't worry, I plan to resume work on my NCIS story in August. I have, however, noticed by switching from section at FanFiction.net - from Battlestar Galactica to NCIS - I have basically started from scratch when it comes to readers. My new story has no followers (yet), while Battlestar Xanthi ended with 20-ish readers in the end. But those are the realities of writing outside your comfort zone.

Regards,

Edmond Dantes.

Almost forgotten....

...but not quite.

Hello World,

I was planning to continue work on my NCIS story. And I will. However, I discovered - much to my dismay - that I had not updated/continued Stargate Nova Roma since February. So I decided to put my NCIS story on hold - for a bit - and write a new chapter. Which I am glad to report is now up on my fiction Blog 128.
