Since there aren't that many readers, let's put all the fdk, if any, here.

Nan

Woohoo! More TU up.

So when's the next part?

Janine

Ohhh! The last story!

Cool.

James

Just passing through quickly, but when I saw the title I was psyched. I'll have to read it tomorrow.



PJ

Hey! Wait a minute, you can't stop there.
Where's the rest of it?

More soon please?

Janine

Yeah, I want to see more than that!

Were the Jils after that rock? I'm somehow convinced there really is a secret weapon. And is the farmer Terran Underground, or just cranky Terran?

Come one, where's the next part??

PJ

Yay, part 3!!

That's such an American reaction -- we'll put up with a lot if our leaders tell us to, but if somebody starts shooting at us, we're damn well shooting back. And the 'trols had better watch out.

I knew Roddy was psychic, and figured Chris was his pyschic partner. It's fascinating to watch them unconciously use and try to figure out what I already know. Good "hearing" indeed.

Okay, so where's part 4?

PJ

Yes two parts in one day.
Life is good.

So you're going to put up more soon right?

Janine

I had a kind-of-a-thought...

I hope you are not writing the last story for us because this will be the last story for us...

please let this not be the last TU story

We love these stories so much and I have just downloaded the last three installments of REVOLT!

Great story so far.

James

I wasn't expecting another part so quickly, but hey, I'm happy about it! I want more!

Are Mark & Alan going to wander into this at any point? I suppose they've got more important things to do - although if the TU wants to find that rock...

Will they now tell everyone about the TU, btw? Or maybe they'd better hold that in reserve, just in case things don't go so well.

Can't wait to find out!

PJ

Part 5, whee!

Nice to see Admiral Weaver get recognized. And I almost cheered when they announced that Kurt MacDougal was leading the TU fleet.

Good thinking, Chris, switching the rocks and mailing them all off. Let the bully boy go off thinking he's won.

So... remember how last time, you posted two parts in one day???

PJ

Talk about your roller-coaster rides!

I prefer the reactions of the shuttle passengers

So Roddy's telekinetic, and I'm guessing Chris is the one heating up the blasters? Sounds like they'll be invited to join the Special Forces soon.

But the most astonishing thing... Mark and Julia have 16 kids????

PJ

I absolutely love your TU series and hope that this is just one more of many that you will be posting.

Aww, the poor beleaguered heros Very satisfying ending, Nan. Hard to believe the series as a whole spans over 20 years. Writing all that and keeping it interconnected and internally consistent is quite a feat. You and your sister done good.

PJ

Thanks, Pam.

By the way, did you spot the cameo?

Nan

ok, i've read the first 4 parts, but I won't read the ending until we have all the rest of the stories, so there!

Love how things are progressing and I can't wait to see what happens with the crystal.

btw, I got into real trouble with Elisabeth. Apparently ChiefPam commented on Mark prodigious family and Elisabeth was looking over my shoulder and saw it. 16? Oy!

James

LOL, James.

Go ahead and read it. It won't hurt anything.

Remember, the purpose of the Sanctuary worlds is to give psychics a safe haven in order to live and have lots of children. Mark and Julia were just doing their job. Leroy Burke and his wife had 20 kids <g>.

Hope you like the story -- and by the way, see if you can spot the cameo of a character in one of the earlier stories. He makes an appearance in the last part.

Nan

BTW...

There's been a recount!

There are 55 stories and Nan has given us only 28 stories!

They are wonderful stories and we are so grateful that you are sharing them.

We want more!

Dwayne Seymour, a.k.a. Weasel, from Rainy Season.

Wonderful story, as usual.

So, you and your sister decided to end it with the start of the war.

btw, are there any Jils with straight hair? All of them sound like ads for permanent wave products...
James

Think of the hairstyles in the French court just before the French Revolution, James. Jil high society is decadent and superficial, and the kinked, permed hair is the norm for their hairstyles.

And yes, we did decide to end it with the start of the war. You know from the intro to Slave Race how that came out. The war "expelled the Jilectans from the *Terran* Sector and established the Federation of Free Planets which exists today."

Mark and Alan later became Terra's distinguished ambassadors to the Jilectan Autonomy (since it would be pretty hard to fool them.) And sometime after that, they ran into the Centaurs again -- only this time they had the Jils on their side instead of as enemies. I doubt I'll ever get around to writing that one, but they won it, too.

Nan

Mwhaha

Now is the time to pest...*cough* uh I mean make suggestion for the next story.

I vote for Awakenings.

Janine

I love this story! I've already read it a few times before (I kept a copy when I typed it up!

And I agree with Janine, now's a great time to make a suggestion for the next story. I vote for Awakenings, too! Eric Vogelman's a very interesting character and we know so little about him! So, what do we have to do to get that one next? Will begging help?

Tara

I can beg too if that will help.

Janine

They are also dealing with the wildfires in their area...

James

They got the wildfires out fairly quickly, but we are still on a red flag warning for a while, which means high risk of fire because of the weather conditions. They keep extending the alert. It was supposed to end about last Saturday, then they extended it to Sunday, and they kept extending it. Now I think the end is supposed to be Friday. I hope so, because I really don't want to have to deal with anything like last year's fires.

Nan

So is the emergency over? Hope so...

PJ

Well, we had a day of drizzle and damp weather in general. Unfortunately, that is now gone and the dry weather is back. They now are predicting light Santa Ana winds and warm, dry weather, which means the danger of wildfires is back. <sigh>

Nan

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that I spent the last week and half reading all of your stories in this series and that you now have a new die-hard fan of the Terran Underground series.

As soon as I finished the last one, I automatically went back to the TOC for the next one and literally gasped when I realized I had exhausted your supply.

sooo, as long as you are still able to post them, you have another loyal reader eagerly waiting to gulp them up!

Thanks so much!

Yeah, when are we going to get more??
