    Wow, I can’t believe how many chapters you’ve posted recently– it’s like finding a new treat almost every day. Looking forward to seeing what comes next.

  2. Marie says:

    i love yours fics, i eat them with pleasure, you make me dream.

  3. ladyholder says:

    I have this overwhelming urge everytime I get on the ‘net to check this page. So far, I’ve given in every time. Love your fic. Thank you for some seriously wonderful stories.

    ~L

  4. Sivrbld747 says:

    Um, it would be an incredible shame if you left off your Might Have Been Series. Though I can see how so many characters might be confusing? Anyway, I wanted to let you know that whatever you write, we’ll be more than happy to read.

    The Sentinel/SGA is going to be brilliant too. Grins, happily. thanks for sharing your incredible talent with us. -SB

  5. amazonlola78 says:

    Quite possibly the BEST AU of Stargate Atlantis that I have ever read. I have a personal standard of quality in the fics I like to read, and so far you’ve met every single on of them. You win, at life. I got so lost in the world you created that I half drunk with it when I finished reading. Thank you.

  6. Dr. Claire says:

    NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! You cannot end the “What Might Have Been” series! Some one must express this love and no one can do it like you!

  7. Stormraven says:

    LOL, by the previous comment. A true fan’s wail of despair at the closure of a fic series is someting to see. But hey, if the muse and common sense are saying that a series is done and messing with it further would throw a monkey wrench and wreak havoc on it, then it’s time to finish and leave as is. Especially if the writing is played out and there is no further plot to be written because the writing has left no further opening to exploit. Unlike ‘Gathering’ of ‘Sentinels of Atlantis’, which is left open ended for further writing.

    Just wondering, I left a comment on the replies page of ‘Gathering part 3′…have you ever thought of crossing Scanners 2 and SG:Atlantis? Have the character of McKay have scanner abilities?

  8. Margcesa says:

    Do you have a date or time frame for the next chapters in “What Might Have Been” Series???? Throughly enjoyed this series. Thanks for a wonderful read.

  9. Elizabet says:

    Great work so far, I love the “What Might Have Been” series & “The Sentinels of Atlantis”!!!
    When are you going to update them????
    Hopefully soon!

  10. sgakaz says:

    Can hardly wait but I’ll be a good fan-girl ;)

  11. Ashley says:

    Love your stories, and I hope that you up-date soon!

  12. marlislash says:

    hello i hope a update soon, go yo your LJ i send you a message about the little gift ! kiss.

  13. Luise says:

    I love your stories. I keep coming back about once a week and re-reading them and I’m always excited when I find something new. Thank you

  14. Sabre says:

    I love your “What might have been” series so much!! I love the way you portray the relationship between Rodney and John, and also between them and the supporting characters. Am really looking forward to the next installment!

  15. diversam says:

    Having re-read everything you have written at least twice, and some three time you can guess that I have become a fanatic regarding your fic. Keep them coming.

  16. hergerbabe says:

    I just stayed up all night to read the ‘What Might Have Been’ series and I can’t tell you how much I adored it, you created such a fantastic, absorbing universe that I pretty much fell in love with all your characters (well the good guys anyway), my only crit is the grammar.
    Anyway, I seriously hope you’re going to publish the wedding and Atlantis parts soon because, seriously, I’m upset that I’ve already waited a day, I can’t imagine how anyone waiting since August must feel. Thanks for all the time you must have dedicated to this series, now I’m off to check out the rest of your fics and hope that I’ll get enough sleep to be conscious at work tomorrow!

  17. JWalker says:

    Just wanted to say Hi, and hope you are still working on the stories. I know RL can get in the way, but…..

    Hopefully you can feed my love of both universes soon.

    Thanks.

  18. Lise St-Onge says:

    Dear madame Keira,

    Oh! combien le temps est long , madame,
    D’attendre , de votre prose, la flamme.
    Ah! pouvoir lire la suite , lentement,
    De tout coeur, j’en veux le contentement.

    Attendre, attendre , avec confiance ,
    Le coeur ouvert, les yeux dans l’Atlantis,
    Dans la mémoire entretenir la danse,
    Des mots d’amour portés par ses fils…

    Bien à vous,

    Lise

  19. ladyholder says:

    Oiy. So I see you have added a chapter to the wonderfulness that is WMHB. I know that I am in love. Serious, devoted love with this series. Thank you for doing more.

    ~L

  20. Kelly says:

    So happy to see the next chapter is in beta!

  21. Shaz says:

    I bored and in a block on my own stories and your Sentinel ones have gotten me theorising like crazy and they will not fit in my own uni’s as they were inspired by yours so if you want ti hear them contact me at my Email adress and I’ll through them at you an them you can forget or use them as you like

    I’m hoping with them out of my head my Muses will go back to my own epics

    As a hint I’m speculating the Sentinel/Guide genes might be another Alien cross we never found out who the Furlings were or looked like and the itiotic dream of teady bears when the Documentary peple where their doesn’t count.
    Shaz

  22. Jennifer says:

    I so can’t wait for more!!
    I love these universes so freaking much!!! :D

    Happy writing!!

  23. Elizabeth says:

    Waiting patiently for the next chapter of what might have been. It’s a great story with well developed characters both cannon and original. fantastic

  24. mad1zel says:

    awesome stories looking forward the rest of the series

  25. Kathi C says:

    I love all your stories but especially your ‘What might have been’. Any idea when you’ll have more?

  26. Stargate Atlantis says:

    I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

  27. moose says:

    “This is the final story in this series and will likely be novel length.” <– just seeing this part makes me unbearably sad…and I haven't even finished reading the series yet.

    I am absolutely in love with both your SGA series though <3

  28. PetiteMort says:

    Simply amazing! xD There is absolute love from me to you! xD =3

  29. Judy says:

    Hi,I just read your What Might Have Been Series. REally great stories. I love your characterizations and the background changes you made for this au. All very plausible and well explained. I do hope to see more from you on this one soon. I love the snarkiness. Judy

  30. Amanda says:

    Seriously, you are amazing. I check for updates nearly every day and sometimes just to reread the series again. It never gets old. Thank you for the wonderful stories.

  31. Lanyin says:

    Love your stories. Hope to see the next part very soon.

  32. Billie Bogart says:

    Love your writing. Thanks for sharing

  33. Lerah says:

    Ok, So I’ve been re-reading all your stories on this site because I love them all so much! I can’t even begin to thank you for the hours of entertainment you’ve provided me. Your world building is amazing. Your stories are truly epic in scope. And, your characters are so engaging that even when the story is done, I wish there was more. Thank you for posting these and sharing them with all of us. You rock!

  34. Patti says:

    I absolutely adore your writing. Each of your different universes are so in-depth and different to one another. They are all equally interesting and I look nearly everyday to see if you’ve updated any of them! Thank you for the many hours I’ve spent here, truly a gift for all of us readers and a true gift you have as a writer.

  35. Diva0789 (Michelle) says:

    i would absolutely love for you to write in the NCIS/NCIS:LA fandom……if you ever get the urge for something new….and have the time! :D :D :D

    i have been craving a good, long, Sam/Callen and/or Gibbs/Dinozzo…that i havent already read!

  36. Lady Susan says:

    I just finished What Might Have Been, and I’m still really looking forward to the next part of Ties That Bind. Thanks for sharing these stories with us :)

  37. maria says:

    ring of fire

    late 2010? is that the real time frame?

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      Yeah– real time frame. Ring of Fire is a full length NOVEL follow up to this series. I expect it to be at least 100,000 words if not more because it will cover a lot of ground.

      1. marli says:

        100,000 words wow i impressed !

  38. Tracy says:

    I am so excited about Ring of Fire. I love the McShep dynamic in this series as well as all the other pairings. I hope that we see more of Ian and Jimmy. I look forward to it and I don’t even mind the long wait because I know it will be worth it. See you in 2010!

  39. atuinsails says:

    Thanks for the update :D . I really like the look of the new site.

  40. meredith says:

    Okay, I just saw this. Ignore me bugging you about when you’ll update in my comment on the Radek/Elizabeth picture, which by the way is as brilliant as the other three. Thanks for posting this, but I do have to ask. When’s the next part of Ties that Bind coming out? Cause I seriously do need something new to distract me from mid-terms.

  41. space1traveler says:

    I am anticipation! I’ll take whatever you feel inclined to publish. Your stories only get better. Sure, I’m sorry to see certain storylines disappear, but the future is bright and all things evolve. So o/ for more SGA stories and o/ for more Sentinel stories! And o/o/ for more Keira stories!

    And o/ for reading glasses so that I can still see to read said stories.

  42. djaddict says:

    So, I have a question about “Ring of Fire.”

    Does it follow right after where “More Than Words” left off or is there a storey (stories) in between?

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      It’ll pick up just as story 10 ended. There will be a development that will push the charging of a ZPM and then John/Rodney (plus crew of the Phoenix) will retrieve Atlantis while the rest of the family deals with a crisis of their own on Earth. This thing is big in every way– lots of angst, sacrifice, anger, mean-spirited people, some good old fashioned killing, and revenge. No sword fights though (damn it!)– No major character deaths because I couldn’t do that to you guys.

      1. djaddict says:

        You are awesome! Thanks so much for letting me/us know! And thank you for being a wonderful person that doesn’t make us fall in love with a character only to kill them off in the end!

      2. Giggles149 says:

        you know I love you a little more each day :-)

  43. lili says:

    not to be a drag….but is dark places in the soul going to be updated? it’s the only het that i REALLY enjoyed reading! oh well, maybe someday! keep up the good work!

    ps. i will give cookies and other love if this happens! :P

  44. djaddict says:

    Just the title alone of the next “Ties that Bind” story makes me shiver!

  45. Gleise says:

    I check your site everyda for updatesy… ’cause, you know, I’m a junkie for your stories.
    Do you plan to continue writting ‘The Sentinel’ stories? Me likes ‘The Awakening’, me likes it alooooot…
    Keep up the FABULOUS writting you do.
    Cheers!

  46. Alwaysand says:

    It’s February! I am sitting patiently but picture big puppy dog eyes and a tail wagging really hard in anticipation. Would drool but it’s messy and makes my keyboard unhappy.

  47. atuinsails says:

    Hey, Kiera, like a good student I have reread Ties that Bind and The Sentinels of Atlantis. I’m ready for those updates now. Nudge, nudge, know what I mean :D .

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      Just don’t push me off my chair– I might break MY pompom.

  48. Kim says:

    Oh, I was PATIENTLY waiting in front of my computer, fully prepared to wait the whole of february (seriously – taxes, I see why you are busy, Keira!), and hoping for a valentine’s day fic.
    And then I see the title of the next TTB chapter and my patience goes right out of the window. Going to go all OCD on your site again.
    And I’m certainly not pushing! Would supply you with chocolate and good coffee if I only knew how :-D

  49. fanarts_series says:

    rhooooo the title “A Lovely Agony” oh my god, i think my panties are wets, it’s all your fault, need a shower now lol !!!
    You’re a delicious evil author, like(love *blush*) you more if it’s possible.
    This title need a lovely art, totally sexy with wet and shaking skin isn’t it ?

    Have you received my email ?

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      No on the email– I think you need Gmail. :-)

      1. fanarts_series says:

        Ok i open a gmail count now but in the same times i send the art in your lj !!!!

  50. Charly says:

    My rude impatience is tempered by my pathetic gratitude.

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      LMAO.

  51. marmalade says:

    please please please post the next ties that bind soon, it’s 4am and I’m still checking for updates…could you tell me if it will be out by the time of my birthday – the 17th?! (makes puppy eye’s and is turning blue with baited breath)

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      I really don’t know. I’m just very swamped.

      1. marmalade says:

        ok no rush, I just get excited and I love your work so much!! I know you have a life beyond writing this love fiction…unfortunately ;)

  52. Jeanne says:

    Wow! Thank you for two amazing fics already this month. I can’t believe how prolific you are, esp. with the quality of the fics you write. What stuns me is that neither of the fics you have gifted us with are even among your on-going wips. I’m looking forward to the next episodes in your on going series along with any other surprises that you gift us with. Thanks for all the enjoyment you’ve given me.

    I’m rereading now to refresh my memory in anticipation of the next episodes. Hope you have as much fun writing them as I do reading them.

  53. meredith says:

    It would be SO AWESOME if you could post the next part of Ties That Bind or Sentinels of Atlantis on Feb. 21st because that is my birthday.

  54. marmalade says:

    whoo! happy birth day to me and as a birth day present I’m going to re-read all the ties that bind series :)

  55. marmalade says:

    so, its march i don’t want to nag but could you change the times for ties that bind and sentinels of atlantis to be updated. i understand that life happens and your health is more important just that i checked the site about 20 times this weekend thinking there would be an update and depressed when there wasn’t… you just write such engaging fics!

    1. marmalade says:

      sorry looks like you’ve changed the time for ties that bind, guess i’ve just been looking at sentinels of atlantis since you said it would be updated next ( before ties that bind)

  56. meredith says:

    When are you going to update!? I’m getting really antsy about what’s going to happen next.

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      When my doctor stops talking about putting me in the hospital. LOL. I’m actually pretty close to finishing the next Sentinels of Atlantis and above 75% finished on the next Ties That Bind.

      1. Giggles149 says:

        I am sending you lots of hugs right now. Sorry that your health is still playing up. It is perfectly fine if you don’t update till next christmas btw, we will still love you just as much :-)

      2. marmalade says:

        well avoiding the hospital is of course the first priority….sigh…. i’m just well and truly hooked on your universe! but thank you SO MUCH for letting me know where you are on the update front :)
        i hope you fell better

  57. marmalade says:

    would you consider posting what you have of ties that bind then loading the rest of it when it gets done?… this might sound like fishing but I think it would make a lot of fans very happy to have even a small portion of the chapter and it would stall some of the more fervent inquiries while letting you take your time and not relapse into the hospital. (this might just be wishful thinking on my part but what do you think of this suggestion?)

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      Actually no– one of the reasons I tell my series work in short story/novella format is because I don’t like to post what I consider to be unfinished works. I did it at first but there was this pressure to update often that I found really annoying.

      I’ll probably post my space opera in installments but that’s because it’s probably going to be close to 300 thousand words when it’s done. Still– I won’t start posting it until it’s finished to avoid the pressure of “having” to write.

      It’s really no fun to write or play with my fics if it becomes a “job”.

      1. marmalade says:

        very true, I just go through withdrawal and try to find ways to get my ‘fix’. ;)
        the installments are wonderful I’ll try to stop fishing for more (I somehow don’t think I’ll succeed)

        p.s. thank you for the awesome update on sentinels!!!

      2. Kim says:

        Please do not write any more for us if it is not fun for you!! (Even if I do beg, whine and pout regularly :-) ) You give us all of this great fic for free. I actually have a lot on my “what I want” – list (including that I want to see Jordan whipped, I want to see Bates supplied with popcorn and a video of the event, I want to see Rodney blow John – well, what can I say, BJ:s is a kink I’ve got – I want o-so-badly to see Johns reaction to Dato Raja), but I have a very big do-NOT-want-list regarding this site: I do NOT want to see another posting that says “Keira’s in the hospital”.

        I love your fic, all of it, you are even hitting kinks I didn’t know I had. Corrupting me?? Heh.

        But it’s amazing that you are doing it for free and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

        Thank you for the Sentinel update! I liked it and it gave me something to ease the worst cravings for “A lovely agony” (seriously, don’t post titles like that… ever. Guh.

  58. Alwaysand says:

    I agree with Kim. “Keira is in the hospital” is number one on my never want to see list. Please take care of yourself. I really enjoy your stories. I read and re-read them often but nothing should come before your health.

  59. fanarts_series says:

    Keira, check your email box, i make a pretty (i think) art stuff.

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      You made a VERY pretty art stuff :-)

      1. fanarts_series says:

        Thanks, you’re going to post with the new chapt ? it will double gifts for your readers.

        So i can tell that i’m a little obsessed by your writing, i read a post where a member askec for a d/s criminal minds fic, i dream about it, you wrote a peace of art and i was excited, pretty crazy i am not ?

  60. meredith says:

    For Ring of Fire, (once you finally post it) are you going to switch between views, or the worlds. So like, one half a chapter or one whole chapter centers around the people going to Atlantis and then the rest of the chapter or the next chapter centers around the ones still on Earth? Will we see more of SG-1? And is Ronon or Tealc or both going to Atlantis or what?

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      I’ve written less than 10 percent of Ring of Fire by my own estimation. I would say that I’m trying to tell two stories with this– and it’s centered around the father/son dynamic between Patrick Sheppard and John.

      1. meredith says:

        Oh cool. Is the story with John and Rodney going to retrieve Atlantis or after they’ve retrieved it?

        1. Keira Marcos says:

          it’ll be both. It’s novel length.

          1. meredith says:

            Sounds good. I can’t wait till you finally post it.

  61. fanarts_series says:

    Keira, please can you check your email ?
    Thanks you.

  62. marmalade says:

    please please please tell me that ties that bind a lovely agony will be out soon!!!!i think that i’m going to explode…into little pieces of frustration.
    don’t land yourself in the hospital again but please please please update soon!

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      Dude– there is no exploding of frustration or angst in Keira Land. It’s actually DONE and about to go into Beta. 40,000 words of fic in your guys hot little hands within the week.

      1. marmalade says:

        oh my ghod!
        hooray!!!!
        I love you!!

        p.s. un-beta’d is fine with me (or hey, need another beta?! i’m much better at english than is readily apparent my dad’s an english teacher and commenting without proper capitalization and punctuation is my way of rebelling)

      2. marmalade says:

        whoo!!… me again… just wanted to say if you thought i was obsessive before, now i’m going to have to check about a zillion times a day!

        1. fanarts_series says:

          Marmalade, i think i love you a lot because you make me laugh with your enthousiasm :-)

  63. meredith says:

    Hey Keira, are you ever going to do something more with the Awakening AU? or put Jim and Blair in Sentinels of Atlantis?

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      I don’t know. I got a lot of crap for that AU in the Sentinel community. People either love or it they hate it with a passion unmatched. LOL. Jim and Blair will make an appearance in Sentinels of Atlantis.

      1. meredith says:

        Personally I loved it, and I think there’s probably more love than hate for it since you won that award and all. I can’t wait to see them in Sentinels of Atlantis. I have one more question, are you going to bring Patrick, David, and Matthew Sheppard into Sentinels of Atlantis? Or are they just going to get mentions?

        1. Keira Marcos says:

          I’m not honestly sure about the Sheppard family when it comes to Atlantis– because it’s not Earth based and I don’t want to do the same thing over and over again when it comes to John’s family. If you get my meaning?

          1. Giggles149 says:

            I was gonna beg for Matt :-) even though both Cameron and Evan are paired up otherwise, so Matt would have to bring his own sentinel/guide along … oooh oooh he could be paired with Jonah Dean, although in TTB Jonah is more of a father figure so maybe not … it is very complicated ;-)

            since they currently have no way of contacting earth any introductions would take place in the far future and so much can change in that time

          2. meredith says:

            I get it. I think it’s amazing with or without the Sheppard family. I loved the new Ties That Bind chapter by the way.

  64. fanarts_series says:

    *Ties That Bind

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      Title for the next part totally inspired by you and your Art!

      1. fanarts_series says:

        rhoooo *blushs* i think the art is a little bit to small, you want another one more large ?

        1. Keira Marcos says:

          yes. of course. i do. I’m GREEDY.

          1. fanarts_series says:

            I made and sent the new art for “in the flames” to you honey !!!
            *hugs*

  65. Nissle says:

    Yay!! What Might Have Been hasn’t been dropped! *sighs in relief* I love all of your stories, but this one satisfies the schmooopy side of me. Your status on the update has stayed the same for sooooo looonng *grin* that I was afaid you forgot about it!

    Now I can return to my regularly schedualed stalking/lurking, secure in the knowledge that Jimmy and Ian will get together at some point in the future, and I will get to see it.

    Now get back to work on The Ties That Bind! LOL

  66. fanarts_series says:

Is that beginning April or more middle April for the Sentinels? Thank you for sharing this great stories with us. You brighten our day everytime there’s a new update out. Please ignore any negative comments, they don’t know what their talking about. Why do they read it anyway? Happy writing and keep well please!

    1. Keira Marcos says:

    Status: This series ON GOING
    Next Part to be posted April 2010.

    It’s April!

    More please lolz

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      DUDE. lol.

      It’ll probably be near the end of April

  69. MidnightRosie says:

    I’m so excited about the next WMHB update… I check your site everyday, that is how much I love your writing!

    Cheers for being Awesome!!!!

    Rosie.

  70. Victoria says:

    Oh goody, a new story just in time for exams. :) Something to help me study ;)

  71. meredith says:

    When are you going to post your Star Trek story? Or how far a long is it?

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      I’m posting the first story in the series tonight. That’s why I prepped the series page with all of the characters and the art :-)

  72. marmalade says:

    will you be adding the prospective dates for the star trek updates to this page?

  73. atuinsails says:

    I’m suprised that you haven’t set your keyboard on fire yet. Remember to pace yourself. As much as I want to encourage you to rush, I also remember some health problems that cropped up earlier this year. Take care of yourself.

  74. Heidi says:

    I was exploring your site, because occasionally instead of rereading favorite fics, compulsively checking for updates, and trawling the web I look for “easter eggs” on your site (and others) and I found this lovely page. I think I’ll reset my bookmark for your site to this page… maybe it’ll keep me from hitting the refresh button quite so often, maybe.

    Live Long and Prosper… and don’t trip going through the ‘gate to kick the collective asses of the Wraith and Ori.

  75. Alwaysand says:

    Nothing for June! A whole month with no updates! Somebody is going to get a well deserved vacation. I sincerely hope you rest and take care of yourself. For that matter with all the work you have been doing and as much as I and everyone else appreciates it I hope you are remembering to take care of yourself now.

    1. AG says:

      If you look at the series page for the Star Trek story, you will find that there is a part coming in June. And, of course, it’s always possible there could be more parts of the other series too.

  76. marmalade says:

    could I have a hint on what the lantian legacy is going to be about?! Is it the continuation of something else? A crossover? A kid fic? please give me a hint!!!

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      It’s a Atlantis secedes from Earth and no one notices for a while fic. No kids.

      1. marmalade says:

        Yay! I can hardly wait!

      2. Heidi says:

        Oooo! Awesome, I like Atlantis secedes fics. I can’t wait, but I can’t wait for the April update of Sentinels of Atlantis either…or Tangled Destinies…or Ties that Bind…or the first posts of Ring of Fire. You write too many excellent fics for your own good. I think I’ve read just about all your fics except the series with Ronnon/Keller. Recently I’ve even been rereading them all, I’ll start with one and go through it in it’s entirety, move on to another, and so forth until I’m back to even more obsessively refreshing your page for an update before starting to go through all your fics again. I REALLY wish reading your fics counted as homework.

  77. debbie says:

    Will lantian legacy be MCSHEP? I look forward to reading this new story from you i have read a few atlantis secedes stories before and i really look forward to your take on it,i know i won’t be disapointed i never am.Keep up the good work.

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      It will definitely be McShep.

  78. meredith says:

    Hey, are you going to post the next part of Sentinels of Atlantis soon?

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      MMM. I’m kind of stuck actually.
      Read this: http://keiramarcos.livejournal.com/17688.html
      It sums up my situation.

      1. meredith says:

        I’m seriously sorry for asking this again, but do you have any idea when you’re going to post the next S of A? I don’t wanna push or anything, especially after that really bitchy email you got from that really bitchy reader (I’d love to read that by the way), I’m just curious. By the way about the last Tangled Destinies? FUCKING AWESOME!! You are seriously a goddess when it comes to this. It’s a nice change of pace to get some light-hearted teenage fluff from the hardcore sex. Don’t get me wrong, everything you write is purely orgasmic, but it’s nice to get something that doesn’t have a lot of sex in it every now then. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

        1. Keira Marcos says:

          I’m having a problem. Here is a breakdown of the basics: http://keiramarcos.livejournal.com/17688.html

  79. syble says:

    I came to see if you knew when the next SoA would be posted, when I see that you’ve changed the estimated date to undetermined. Bummer. I’m guessing those new plot bunnies are to blame. lol

    Ah well, it gives me an excuse to re-read WMHB.

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      No. It’s not the new plot bunnies. The Star Trek series is actually written up through part 6 and the Lantean Legacy is mostly written — 2 novels worth actually.

      I am STUCK and irritated. I feel as if I’ve written myself into a hard place that I don’t want to wiggle into and it’s been difficult to get it to work.

      1. fanarts_series says:

        You are irritated, check your email, it’s going to make you at ease i hope.

        1. Keira Marcos says:

          LOVELY!

          I responded in kind :-)

      2. syble says:

        Actually I wasn’t worried about the other series you’ve got going. You’d already proven you are a great multi-task writer. (I still don’t know how you do that.) I just remember you talking about how you were considering going in a different direction than originally planned for SoA. I figured those plot bunnies were to blame. Apparently, they are also little teases and are good at tormenting you. Bad, plot bunnies, bad. ;)

        1. Keira Marcos says:

          The thing is that this is actually one of my favorite series and I hate that I’m stuck on it.

  80. Renee says:

    Hey there,
    Big fan and new reader. I was confused. I know your computer crashed but did that just affect SoA or was What Might Have Been lost too? And is the Ring of Fire going to be a new addition to What Might Have Been or are you just putting all the stories in one file. I hope this makes sense. I should be in bed now instead of compulsively reading about K/S again. Your fault.

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      What Might Have Been is a finished series. Ring of Fire is a novel follow up.

      I lost about 100k of fic the majority of which was Sentinels of Atlantis. I also lost a few stand alone stories that I was working on and some professional work as well.

  81. marmalade says:

    ….So I’ve been trying to be patient and well, I’m not. I can’t contain myself anymore I’m being obsessive again, can you tell me if the next ties that bind is going to be out in the next few days-hours – next week – next month….. I know it takes a long time to write and I don’t want to rush your process because well the results are awesome but I’m crawling up the wall and I think it’s starting to set a bad example for my cat… so for her sake could you ease my mind with an update on the progress of the next update?!!

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      I’m currently writing In The Flames. It is my hope to post by the 31st.

      1. marmalade says:

        woohooo!! thank you!!!!!!

      2. chrisking2005 says:

        *makes dolphin noises*

        *does the geriatric fangirl chairdance of glee*

        *throws my pom poms in the air*

        And I am without shame. Because your work deserves fangirling like that.

        *nods*nods*

    2. marmalade says:

      I’ve been reading through the comments and I realized I totally missed that your computer crashed – ouch! I’m still climbing the walls but I totally understand any delays for any fic or whatever you need to do to get back in the right head space…but I would appreciate it if you could give me a tentative timeline for the ties that bind….I love all your work but man this series has me staying up late and waking up early checking for updates….. anticipation is great but my cat is starting to suffer with the interruptions of her sleep…

      1. Keira Marcos says:

        You should sign up for the automatic email updates. It’s in the right column at the top.

  82. marmalade says:

    yeah….i already did, the problem is I don’t check my email….

  83. Jadzia says:

    You? Are made of awesome. You made me like: het fic, kid fic, Sentinel fusion fic, and Sam Carter O’Neill. With babies. You also made me completely believe in Rodney as a submissive masochistic bottom. Which I didn’t think could ever happen. But it did and I love it so so much. Ties That Bind is my favorite D/s Universe ever.

    What Might Have Been is a world I’ve read and re-read several times since I found it. To discover that you’re expanding and rewriting it to make it deeper and more detailed is just…I squee’d like a fourteen year old girl who got asked to the Prom. By a Senior. With a car.

    I’m also very very pleased to know your Sentinel universe isn’t done…I wasn’t sure I was going to like it at first, because I just didn’t connect with the original Sentinel. Yours? Is SO MUCH BETTER. *hugs fic and apologizes for doubting its merits* John and Rodney are my favorite pairing ever, but Cam and Vala just…tickles me.

    So…thanks for writing. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for having such facility with language and such a way with detail and vivid word pictures. I like your sex scenes, because I can picture the couples in my mind as I’m reading. I like the rest of the story because you never leave plot holes. Ever. Frankly, I think you should be teaching creative writing to some of these schmucks that are getting paid way too much money to screw up some fairly interesting plots.

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      You made me smile so big my face hurts for it.

  84. chibigirlflower says:

    hey, i like the new look of your site – more place for the text and the John/Rodney pics are quite adorable

  85. Atuin says:

    Thanks for updating the status of the WIPs. Also, the site …. I don’t know. I kind of liked it the other way. I liked how I never knew what color the background was going to be. On the other side, I suppose I will get used to it.

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      I changed it because of readability problem with the three column formats. I enjoyed the fun colors TOO but I think readability for the most amount of people is a better option than the color thing (which I liked a LOT!). I do wish they made that template with just 2 columns instead of three. That would’ve been great.

      1. Billie says:

        I’m a function over form type of gal–as much as I love good aesthetics, glitzy webpages are a big pain. I love the new layout. Thanks for taking the time and effort.

        Billie

  86. meredith says:

    Hey Keira…when are you going to post anything (besides art) on your McShep Noir website?

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      That series is in the planning/writing stages. The only reason it has art on it is that a reader found it and was inspired by the idea.

      1. Vera says:

        You’re probably busy with all the other stuff you’re working on as well as having a life, but I haven’t heard any news about the Noir AU you and ladyholder were planning (or maybe I missed it), and the site’s been deleted. I was wondering if you’d abandoned that idea or is it just on the back burner and we shouldn’t expect anything for a couple of years?You’re probably busy with all the other stuff you’re working on as well as having a life, but I haven’t heard any news about the Noir AU you and ladyholder were planning (or maybe I missed it), and the site’s been deleted.

        1. Keira Marcos
          Keira Marcos says:

          We both got completely distracted by a Sherlock/Sentinel AU but it’s not been abandoned. It’s still in my WIP file ;-)

  87. marmalade says:

    yay moving’s done and there was a nice update on sentinels in atlantis waiting for me while I’m so sore I can hardly move… :) your awesome the only thing that would make me happier would be if ties that bind goes up soon…. well that and if chocolate made me thinner…

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      If Chocolate made me thinner– I’d own a candy store.

      1. helengloucester says:

        I’m going to have this printed on a t-shirt LOL
        You are awesome Keira!
        Hugs, Hxx

  88. Helena says:

    Are there any podfics? Have serached, but havn’t seen any so no?

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      No. I’ve given permission for a few people to do it but so far none have been completed.

      1. Helena says:

        ‘Tis a shame, but it take time with longer fics, so I imagine it will be a while.

  89. Magda says:

    *Longtimelurker lurking over the edge*

    Yeah, well hi :)
    I just wanted to say i absolutely love your work and i mean ALL your work. There is no story i have not read at least 5 times over and over again and they are all without question just awesome.
    Your writing gives the caracters and the worlds they are living in a feeling of beeing alive i have never seen by any other writer. Your creativity seems to have no end and i truly hope you never loose your fun and joy in what you are doing. (the more storys for us ;) )

    Just one thing: You’re a true Goddess of Fanfic

    Greetings Magdalena

    PS: English is not my motherlanguage so every mistakes… well just excuse them *blush*

  90. atuinsails says:

    Would it be possible for you to update the wip page? If you can. So I can know when to buy the good chocolate.

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      It’s actually up to date as far as I can currently judge when I’ll be done with fics.

  91. marie says:

    hi. just wanted to say that ur fics are made of awesome. you totally got me hooked on mcshep fics. keep up the amazing work and keep healthy.

  92. Irina says:

    (crying) nothing for july?
    In The Flames was awesome and I came to WIPs page to see what to dream for next…
    (whaaaa!)

  93. Tm says:

    The month of July is sad. Can’t you post something small to make July feel loved?

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      Well. July is kind of busy for my personally. ;-)

  94. fanarts_series says:

    Nothing in July, nothing at all… Our queen is busy but, but…..

    Nothing for the July, 4 and nothing for the 14, July, it’s “the prise de la Bastille” it’s the french revolution… it’s Marianne taking Paris with a free breast.

    Always busy… Damned… You need to challenge your readers to write for you in July lol !

    But like August is my the month of my birthday, i’m going to be spoiled with your posts.
    Don’t forget August, 7 …. *g*

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      **Looks around**

      Maybe I’ll find something.

      1. fanarts_series says:

        You are my fav little bitchy girl you know. I can’t help but laugh.

  95. Annia says:

    Oh my god! I’m gonna have to get a life for the whole month of July? That sucks!

  96. Kim says:

    Oh, I’ve got my birthday in August too, looks like I’m getting spoiled this year :-)

  97. Lina says:

    Me and July are going to cuddle up under a blanket and, since there is nothing else here to entertain us, have hot lesbian sex.
    (When is the next part of Sentinels of Atlantis going to be up? It doesn’t say that there even *is* a next part, so I’m not quite freaking out.)

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      I’m writing but I don’t know when I will finish it. It’s already 9 thousand words and is about half done. It’s a big transitional piece for the series so kind of like a big 2 parter if I was writing for tv ;-)

  98. yaoi-no-kokoro says:

    That´s a really heavy workload you´ve got going there. Please spoil us moooooooore :)

  99. Helengloucester says:

    Keira honey what’s “The Lantean Legacy” going to be about? Is it in one of your other universes or one on it’s own.
    Sorry if you’ve answered this elsewhere – blame it on withdrawal symptoms LOL

    Hope you get through July ok. Hugs, Hxx

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      It’s a whole new ‘verse and I think it’s safe to say that’s not like anything else on the site. Ladyholder and Chris King would be able to judge this better since they’ve been my content Betas on the project. It’s a sentient Atlantis story and I think I’ve done something pretty unique with the concept. I hope to be able to post the first arc of the series this month but I just don’t know if I’ll be able to.

      1. fanarts_series says:

        hum….hum… lol
        what ?
        i’m subtle… just greedy…going to hide.

      2. Chris King says:

        *throws my pom poms in the air in an excess of geriatric fangirl enthusiasm*

        Lantean Legacy totally *rocks*. It’s unlike any Sentient!Atlantis fic I’ve read, and totally brilliant – which we’ve all come to expect from keira!fic. Readers should expect to fall in love with the original characters, too! They’re awesome!

        *fangirling shamelessly*

        *pets Keira’s kickass plot bunnies*

      3. TheOtherWillow says:

        Oh gods…a sentient Atlantis fic from you!!! I may not survive it! One of my favorite fic genres, and it’s such a rarity to see it explored in any depth. And I thought I wanted it to be August so I’d be done with the summer semester. Obviously I was totally wrong; new fic from you totally trumps scholastic achievement. XD

        I’d be thrilled to do some art for this series. If you had anything specific you’d like, please let me know!!!

        Until next time…
        Willow

        1. Keira Marcos says:

          :-)

          You know actually– I’ll send you an email about the art thing.

          1. TheOtherWillow says:

            Shiny! I’ll keep an eye out for your email. :-)

  100. Shira says:

    I just re-read TTB and have got some questions about the continuation of the series which I hope you will answer:

    1) Are you going to let us know who gave out the list of gene carriers to the Genii? Or are you leaving it up to the speculations in TTB:Under Pressure?
    2) Do you have any explanation/background on why a pleasure house is informing a relative (father) of a collaring (Evan/Matt)? Shouldn’t it be the other way round if at all? After all, not all families have close relationships. And while a father/family may (but not necessarily) have paid for the training at the pleasure house, that was probably while the dom/sub was a minor and not a adult living his own life.
    3) Is the Ownership Act going to play a bigger role in the future of TTB or is it only ever going to be a background/may-happen-may-not/long-time-off topic?
    4) Would you consider to work a short scene into one of the next TTB stories about John and Rodney encountering Sam Carter and she reminisces about Kevin Jordan’s punishment? Of course, Gerard or Raja meeting her would be even better but I don’t think she would survive it. And that would be a shame because I really like for her to eat crow. :-D

    Anyway, no matter what you write, I will surely read – and enjoy – it!!!

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      1. The Genii topic will resurface fairly soon actually.

      2. Master Nori sent out announcements to everyone. It’s a ritualized form of bragging.

      3. No–it’ll always just be a shadow in the background. I’d never write about a world where something like that actually existed as law. This was covered briefly in the Q&A for the series. You might read that if you haven’t already.

      4. No. I’m completely done with Sam. I’m not a Sam basher by nature because I actually like her character on the show. If I had an OTP for SG1 it would be Jack/Sam which I know makes me a rarity among slash writers.

  101. linda brett says:

    Hi I just read the “Your so crazy” comment you posted for us to read and i am so amazed that some people are so rude (and are dickheads) I had to comment back to you keira to keep up the fantastic work you do. I do have a real problem with all your stories is that i cant stop reading them and i check your site every morning for updates even before my first cuppa of the day. i have read slash for over 30 years and you are one of the best authors i have ever read. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
    thanks again from you number one aussie fan.
    ps. i also have my best friend now reading your stories and i phone her when you up date so she knows as well!!

  102. Helena says:

    I was wondering about some stories you talked about a year or so ago. One was a fusion between Numb3rs, Criminal minds and Sentinal, I think and one story about John as a Big Gay Marine Colonel. I don’t really remember, but something like that. Have you tossed those stories, or are they just in the backburner for now?

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      Well John is a Marine in Ties That Bind ;-)

      Actually both of those fics are on the back burner until I finish Ring of Fire.

  103. Kate Rush says:

    I can’t wait for August – if you manage to get all your WIPs out on schedule it will be a fantastic month. I am an avid reader of all your series: they are just brilliant. I love the way that the different universes enable you to swap secondary pairings around, change personalities slightly and change locations. Yet they are all still true to character and wonderful to read.
    Thank you for entertaining me!

  104. atuinsails says:

    Thanks for updating the WIP list.

  105. Syble says:

    Just wondering if Ring of Fire looks like it is still on track for your estimated date of late 2010? I love all your stories but this one is still my fav. :)

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      Yeah. I’ll do most of my work on it in November though. ;-)

      1. Giggles149 says:

        Is that your NaNo project?

        1. Keira Marcos says:

          maybe. On the fence.

  106. Syble says:

    AWESOME!

  107. shadiwsiren says:

    great stories

  108. Britt says:

    I don’t know if you mind, but I’ve heard a couple of songs that seem to really match how your relationships are usually set up (soulmates = cuteness/hotness overload). I don’t know, they just remind me of your work every time I hear them.

    Gotta Be Somebody by Nickelback
    Some Hearts by Carrie Underwood

    Keep up the awesome work!!!

  109. RoxAnne says:

    I don’t even care that I’d miss my birthday in February; I just want it to be March or April so I can read the next Lantean Legacy.

  110. Marmalade says:

    …even though you’re removed the post about your recent traumatic experience (involving the dog of doom) I was wondering how your writers block is? I hate to nag – and I’ve been trying very hard not to but I’m being obsessive again and I was wondering if the Ties that Bind chapter is going to be up soon – the aprox. date was for september…. I know your life must be pretty full right now but inquiring minds want to know…. besides I hope you’re not stuck in bed with nothing but bad writers block, I can think of no worse fate than the time and desire but not the ability to do anything…. but really so a rough update time – few days, weeks, next month – would really help stem the amount of times I check the site (which is beyond ridiculous)

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      It wasn’t removed but it was put to Friends Only on LJ. Most of my personal posts eventually go private because I’m a control freak.

      I’m broken and mildly drugged so I’m not writing at all.

  111. meredith says:

    You need to update your WIPs page. You still have things you still have the estimated post month for Tangled Destinies: Justice up, and it still says that the next Ties That Bind installment will be posted in September…which it is not anymore.

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      Yeah, I broke my foot so I haven’t had time to update anything.

  112. Billie says:

    Get well, and your Muse will return when you are ready. Must say I miss the new chapters, but I have been busy also.

    Take care,
    Billie

  113. WilhelminaJJ says:

    Hope you feel better soon!

  114. Deb says:

    Wishing you a speedy recovery, Keira. I’m not on LJ so I enjoy your personal posts but I do understand that you want to make them private at some point.

    I’m sure you’ll get your writing mojo back once you are feeling better.

    –Deb

  115. Jadzia says:

    I hope you’re recovering quickly and completely :)

  116. katkero says:

    Get well soon. And I hope your muse comes back soon also.

  117. Kaska says:

    I really hope you will get well soon!

    As it is Halloween – smile to your muse (or bribe her with something ;) ) and don’t let her leave. Waiting for hearing good news from you.

  118. Lori says:

    Happy birthday, and heal well…

  119. wickedwomin says:

    Hello Keira
    I’ve had an amazingly busy three months so imagine my suprise when I find you’ve had an unimaginably bad couple of months.
    I really just wanted you to know that it doesn’t matter how long it takes for you to get back on your feet (pun intended) you still have a loyal follower down here in the antipodes who wishes you well.
    The drug fugue will end and the pain will go; meanwhile I have been enjoying your snippets on daily life; I do feel for your spousal unit, he must have the patience of Job!

  120. Ibanara says:

    I want to wish you a speedy recovery, no more pain, and a full loving kiss of your muse!

    I have enjoyed every story I read till now and am eagerly awaiting new ones … but for you to be getting betting is far more important than me getting new stories (now I have time to re-read the old ones :-) )

    I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts

  121. meredith says:

    I noticed that you took down your angry red message that basically said “Fuck off and go find someone else to bother while I heal.” Does this mean you’re getting ready to post again soon?

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      LMAO. Well I’m healed ;-) .

      1. meredith says:

        That’s great!!! I’m glad you’re feeling better! And take your time with the posting, you’re having writer’s block right? I’ve had a combination of writer’s block and making sure I don’t fail high school for the past year, it really sucks. But! There is hope! I’ve been able to but my need to express myself into my art, which is good, because an awesome art portfolio looks really good to colleges, which is equally awesome b/c I’m waiting for what is hopefully an acceptance letter to arrive today or tomorrow. Re-reading your stuff has actually made it less stressful for thanks for that!

        P.S. I highly suggest casting David Bowie for any main or at least frequently recurring new male character you come up with. He’s really hot for 63 and an awesome singer/actor (Labyrinth is one of my all time favorite movies).

    Meredith, you make me so laugh, you have some “style” to translate some sentences of our Queen.

    So, Queen, i want to email you, it’s always the same email adress to gmail ?

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      My email is a nightmare but yes. lol.

      1. fanarts_series says:

        Make a spell and unmess it :-)

    2. meredith says:

      Thank you for the compliment (though I’m not sure if the quotations around style makes it a compliment). It was easier to right a basic “translation” than trying to remember everything our Queen said in her red, all-caps, very angry message.

      1. fanarts_series says:

        Don’t worry it’s a compliment.

        1. meredith says:

          Then once again I thank you *bows respectfully*. I must say, I love your icon *cheeky grin*.

          1. fanarts_series says:

            Thanks you, i love the DeRo, german soap with gay couple are awesome.

            1. meredith says:

              Oh totally, I like watching Ollie + Christian on Verboten Liebe

  123. Kim says:

    Oh, wow, you’ve put up an ETA for Ties That Bind AND a title! Squee! The tidbit you threw us on LJ was absolutely wonderful. Now I’m going to bounce between the walls all of february :-)

    Hope this means that you’ve managed to kill off your writers block!

  124. meredith says:

    OH MY GOD!!! YAY!!! You gave a month for when Ring of Fire will be out!

    P.S. I know it’s not exactly my place to say this well imply this) cause I know you’ll post when you post, but it would be an awesome birthday present if you posted the next installment of the Sentinels of Atlantis on February 21st!

  125. Neth Dugan says:

    Y’know, I come across one fic of yours and love it and want another update for that right now….. but accept it’ll be a bit away. Then I come across another one, realise it’s you writing it and kick myself cause I want more of that real soon too and…. so on. Just finished reading the Lantean Legacy Book One and I cannot say how glad I was to see it. I’m a big fan of Atlantis standing on its own and breaking off from Earth and you did it in a way I haven’t seen before. Or rather, the way you went about it and things surrounding it was different. Loved it too!

    So, I can’t wait to see more of that. But same goes for everything else too pretty much. I have no idea how the heck you do it. Write so much good fic but I can only say I’m glad for it.

  126. Sara says:

    Wow. I’ve just spent the past two weeks reading your Stargate fic and I’m pretty speechless. 2 thumbs way up. I’d love it if the “canon” was actually like your worlds that you’ve built. Thank you for having your “current projects” page so your fans don’t go crazy wondering when you post the next part of the stories. They are WONDERFUL. Thank you for being a part of fandom!

  127. cheri webb says:

    I’m lame. That is my only excuse for not commenting sooner…at least I can’t find a comment if I did. Lame. I blame it on my three year old. Sadly she is now old enough to defend herself against slander. ::sigh::

    I have enjoyed working my way through your varied “worlds”. I’ve re-read some of them several times. AU’s are my favorite thing ever, right before Oreos. Thank you for the hours of pleasurable reading!

  128. Elizabeth says:

    I have recently found your fiction and must admit, I am overwhelmed at the quality and quantity of fantastic stories. It’s amazing, incredible, and addicting. lol :) I’m working my way through The Sentinels of Atlantis Series – I was introduced to you through What Might Have Been – and am wallowing in the lovely relationships. You have such a phenomenal world-building talent, taking pieces from different universes and melding them into something completely different, I am mesmerized. And while there are the some missing words, punctuation and minor verb-tense problems that jar, your write such engrossing fiction that I am spellbound. Thank you for sharing your visions. You have made my 2011 much richer. I wish I had found you much earlier but am thrill to have found you.

    I must add a special ‘Thank You’ for the for the Casting Info and WIPs heads-up. Your casting info makes me smile every time I see it. I’ve even previewed Lantean Legacy & The Ties That Bind through the Casting info and while I’m not there yet, I’m already dreaming of the possibilities. (OMG, You put Tom Selleck in a story w/Jenson. Eeeehhhh!) And your WIPs – oh, the anticipation!

    Thank you, thank you, for sharing your twisting, fascinating stories. I look forward to reading the fiction already posted .. and to the stories yet to come.

  129. Stephanie says:

    Oh My God, I just read your live journal and saw that you were working on Ring of Fire and I might have squeeked really loudly with glee when I saw that. The people at work are looking at me funny but I really dont care, because I am super excited that you are writing and working again. That just makes my day almost as much as a new story update. Please keep up the awesome work
    Stephanie

  130. wickedwomin says:

    Just read the news; you’re writing again.

    Thank god………. I’ve been so bored, I nearly stopped reading fan fic.
    Well, I did follow a link and find Ladyholder, but apart from that, there has been a dearth of anything new and interesting.
    I’m not being selfish when I say glad you’re back… nope, not one bit.

  131. Audrey says:

    Really enjoyed reading Ties that Bind. Can’t wait for more.

  132. wickedwomin says:

    Love your slice of life stories, you’re seriously kick-ass.
    Bit worried that I’m a lesbian who likes those kissing boys though; my partner’s worried too!…..keep em coming :)

  133. sati says:

    woohoo! possibly two updates for my birthday! (a february baby)

    loved The Birth of the Serpent King, your fiction is superb.

    I wish I knew your published works so I could buy them.

  134. Stephanie says:

    Sati, I am totally with you on that one. I understand why we cant know, but that still doesnt stop me from wanting it. pouty face

  135. Margcesa says:

    You mention in your update for “Ring of Fire” “Novella 1″, do you know how many novellas you will write to complete “Ring of Fire”????????????? Sorry if this has been asked before.
    Really, really, really did not want to read your HP story, but because its you!!!!!!!!! of course I started reading. It was a truly wonderfully thought out world you have created. Thanks, thanks a bunch for yet one more story to keep coming back to check for the next one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Very, very very glad to read that you are back, that your foot is completely healed, with no lingering side effects????????????? Correct????? Take care!!!

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      I want 10 like I did with the first series in this ‘verse. For balance you know– I like balance.

  136. Marmalade says:

    I would like some sympathy, tomorrow is not only my birthday, but also my political science final, so I wont be able to celebrate my birthday with anything but studying, testing, and angsting about being stuck in LA traffic :(

    1. fanarts_series says:

      i can’t write in english, so without lot of error so do you want a art happy birthday gift ? A preference ?

      1. Marmalade says:

        anything you feel like gracing me with :)

  137. wickedwomin says:

    I haven’ read Ring of fire yet, I’m waiting for the weekend when I have more time but I did just gorge or all the excerpts and yes indeedy you are positively, incorrigibly wickedly and evil… ;)

  138. Unknown Scribe says:

    Are you going to post any of the others that you say will be posted this month? I always look foward to reading them and hope to see them soon.

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      Nope. It might be a week or maybe more. I was thrown off schedule by some personal stuff.

      1. Kim says:

        “The buttons incident” taught us (atleast me) not to be greedy for fic. :-)

        Hope everything worked out!

      2. Unknown Scribe says:

        Thanks for responding. Life does seam to get in the way sometimes. I hope whatever it is turns out well.

  139. Marmalade says:

    I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful work you give us, and express my enjoyment and excitement for the exerpt for the halo crossover, have only played minimally on others systems you made me want to go buy a xbox and sit down for a week long session! And I’m usually more of a final fantasy kind of girl ;) . I hope that you will continue this fic and that I get to read it sometime in the near-ish future. I’m so excited about it that it falls in fourth place behind Ties that Bind, tangled destinies, and the awakening !!!! just with that little bit you gave me! – having said that I ADORE all of your work and read them ALL a bit obsessively.

  140. Best_Beloved says:

    This is probably a strange question, but is Birth of the Serpent King part of a series or a stand alone? To me, it reads like part of a series, but it’s not listed on your WIPs page. Or it could be that I really like it and would like to read more.

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      There isn’t a sequel on the WIP page because I only list projects I’m currently actively working on. I did leave myself plenty of room to write a sequel.

  141. Marmalade says:

    i have the worst crush on sherlock holmes and it’s all your fault. I have spent a good amount of time ignoring that the series was there and now I think I’m obsessed, half the time all I can think about is ‘what if sherlock took john to christmas dinner with his mummy and mycroft’ and the other half i spend giggling about them together. the only feasible solution ( beyond going to england and kidnaping the actor that plays sherlock and giving him hugs – to stay pg) is if you write something in that fandom…. it’s criminal that sherlock is so very hot and he’s not in any of your fics!
    having ranted myself out for now do you know anything about the second season? when it comes out, how many episodes there are, ect….

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      Unfortunately I know nothing about second season because I try to avoid news about it. Being in the US — it’ll be months before I get to see it anyways. :-(

      1. Marmalade says:

        T.T
        thats true…. at least i know i’m not suffering alone

  142. Toni says:

    *happy squee noise* There’s another Sentinels of Atlantis series coming soon?! *sends cookies and men in togas to feed them to you*

  143. Marmalade says:

    i read a fic and thought of you:
    it’s pwp sherlock/john and very short :) enjoy

    1. Marmalade says:

      shameless hot porn – really shameless and hot surprise sex….

      1. Marmalade says:

        p.s. the fic continues into the first comment

  144. Marmalade says:

    oh i have another fic suggestion, sherlock/sentinel ! come on you know you want to and NOBODY else has done one of any length. … sorry i’m just kind of excited by the prospect….

    1. Keira Marcos says:

      Hmmm. There is something brewing on the edge of my fic plate on the subject of Sherlock Holmes and The Sentinel ;-)

      1. Marmalade says:

        omg i love you more all the time!!!!!!! XD

      2. Billie says:

        Guess this will push me to read some Sherlock fics. Have avoided to this point, but Sherlock as a Sentinel–can’t wait.

      3. Sarah says:

        You are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
        Every time I think I have reached my Keira worship ceiling, youdo sometjing to blow my mind. I’m so glad I found this site it has made a very stressful timw (prepping to move half way across the country) far more bareable. So thank you for all the haed work ypu pit ibto everything you do.

        1. Sarah says:

          Sorry for the typos,I just can’t seem to get the typing thing down on a touch screen…

      4. Lydia says:

        I have mad love for BBC Sherlock. And with the way you write it would be so epic.

  145. fanarts_series says:
