Yay and welcome! First of all, thank EVERYONE for joining the comm! We've been tickled pink by the turnout, and we hope that everyone will have an awesome time writing and reading!

In the interest of tiding us over until the bingo cards are given out on the 1st, why don't we have a good, old-fashioned introduction post! Feel free to mix and mingle, introduce yourself and your writing, talk about the weather, ask questions, or anything else that comes to mind! :D

After three years of writing mostly Doctor Who fanfiction, I started writing a futuristic police procedural back in February. My main character is Maru, a female no-nonsense police officer who believes passionately in law and order and Justice (with the capital J!). She's strong, determined, fiesty and smart, but occasionally prone to impatience when others don't keep up with her.

My 'verse is a collection of 11 planets, 8 of which are inhabited by descendants of Earth's evacuees (Earth became increasingly uninhabitable over the space of a couple of centuries, so humanity headed out into space). I've got regular humans, four armed humanoids, shape-shifters, sentient dragon-like beings, sentient tree humanoids, sentient bird humanoids, and centaur-like beings. There's also a race of omnipotent non-corporeal aliens who will eventually be revealed to be the big bads.

The society on which most of the stories are focused is made up of mostly polyamorous bisexual humans.

Oh wow, that 'verse sounds like SO much fun. I can't wait to read some of it! :D

If you're really interested, I've made the first five chapters public as I posted them for LJ's scifibigbang earlier this month.

You'll find them here at Tomasun Wolves - but I will be making the posts members only again at the end of the month so if you don't get to them before Sept 30, you'll need to request membership to the LJ comm.

AHA, that's why it sounded familiar! I saw your sffbb posting fly by my radar, and it's on my to-read list. :D
