This is a page for people who read my stories. No, scratch that, this is a page for myself, to build up my already overblown ego...!
If you've read my E2 stories you may have noticed something. I like to torture and kill characters. Why? It's fun! But if you want a more detailed explanation than that, then keep reading.
So many things would never have been done on "Earth 2", and in fact, any television series. Characters do not usually die (unless an actor wants out, B5 is the notable exception) and complete, world-changing events occur rarely. That's why fan fiction is so much fun. You can do anything to the characters and label it a possibility. You can even blow up the planet. People will read the story, enjoy it, but be safe in the knowledge that "their friends" are really okay and this was only the strange imagination of one person.
There seem to be two 'main' types of Earth 2 stories around - those that conceivably take place during the journey or depict a wonderful future for our heroes; and those that take the characters to the brink, showing possibilities we would never like to see happen but they could.
I tend to write the latter. I love exploring the universe of the Stations, wondering how life was there both before and after the Eden Project. I like to believe that the characters were even more flawed than we knew, taking them to the believable extremes of their personalities. And, yes, I like death.
Why? That's a question I've often asked myself. I had enough trouble merely hitting my little sister when we grew up - I can't imagine taking part in physical violence. In fact, the first word anyone will use to describe me, invariably, is nice. (Or weird, or strange, but that's another topic entirely. Just because I think it's fun to dance in the rain or under a full moon at midnight and quite often do this doesn't make me strange, does it?) Back to nice - this indicates that I must have a personality underneath that needs to scream sometimes, so I get it out through my writing. It keeps me sane.
Now where was I on this mad ramble of a web page? (And if you're
still reading, then congratulations on making it this far.)
Oh yeah, I was going to list my favorite things to do to E2 characters.
I did this a while ago to amuse myself and then, being bored, decided to
create this webpage.
This table lists the more notable, destructive things I've done to the
characters during my many stories. (Note: "Darkness Descends" has
been omitted because that killed almost all of them, in the same way -
having their hearts ripped out by shadows.)

* Indicates a story that did destructive things to multiple characters.
If you want to know where a death comes from, email me and I will be
happy to point you in the direction of the right story.
Okay, so now I know I'm destructive. But if you stop and think
about it, the future we'd like best to see for our friends in "Earth 2"
is in actual fact quite boring. You know what I mean - everyone married
off, no more fighting or death, just happily ever after. So here
is my idea of Utopia on G889. (Note - parts of this have been included
in several stories, just never all at the same time.)
And everyone lives happily ever after. YAY!
Well, that's about all I have to say on this useless peice of the Internet.
