Hello and what's up?

Its been a while since I added new bits to the blog. Time being short an all. So hopefully a few updates on the way. I'll be posting one of Rich's Reports on his recent activities with Galactus, The Surfer and Harrow (That's Nova 13-15). And soon: Skrulls. Project Pegasus. Robert Rider! Yeah, the kid brother commeth. Mabe we'll meet his new girl (as mentioned in Nova 2!).
But if you haven't read Starscream Prologue yet. Well here's the jist. I've always wanted to write some Nova Fan Fiction. I love SF and stuff and Nova's well suited to that so for the last year myself and a fellow Nova fan, Bill, a "across the pond" partnership (He's from the US, me a Brit, just like Abnett and Lanning!!) decided to start a project to do our own take on the Rocket. We're setting our stories in the 615, just one-step from the Marvelverse. A few differences, mainly Conquest and the Phalanx never happened and other Nova characters are slightly tweaked as Annihilation lasted 2 years, not just under a year, in the 615 so here Rich is 26 years old, older, not necessarily wiser and still in control of the Nova Force...well for the moment.
The first part of STARSCREAM, is set in the "not too distant future"; a future determined by what events happen in STARSCREAM and the other stories that I and Bill are writing.
They include THIRDFALL which is the definitve take on what really happened when Xandar was overrun by the Wave under Annihilus' banner, featurng the return of Queen Adora is sexy armour!
There's then UNITED FRONT and the GURELLIA WAR which chart Rich's United Front days as he battles Annihilus' forces with appearences of a lot of old Nova chracters!
In the future there's a BROOD tale in the works. Life on Hala. And the Rise of Xandar! And behind all this a deadly enemy and Celestials!
Comments welcome at any time. Oh: a warning. Some of what we're writing is a bit more mature so the un-cut versions will only be available at the NOVAVERSE 615 blog at Livejournal. However for a taste I'm publishing the first few chapters of Starscream here to get you in the mood!!
