About the Lazarus Dispatches

You're really crafting a tangible mood in this story. Very different style from your Kyotis, but also highly addictive!

[rad]

Thanks! New update is ready...

[moondaisy]

Rad, I love the Lazarus family and have commented on your site.
But Rad, I'm surprised you haven't put a link to the Kyotis up on this forum. It's such a riveting story and such an achievement too... will you do it?

[rad]

It's in my signature: the only reason I haven't done a thread is because it's a completed work rather than a work in progress. The Kyoti Legacy was my legacy family story for anyone that doesn't know, and I completed it a few weeks ago - do go and read it!

[moondaisy]

I know that, Rad! I wrote a review about it, remember? I just thought it would be great for you to post the whole story on here too! Maybe you are right and I'm silly. Maybe it's too much of a task - 77 chapters after all - but it is such a fine story...

[rad]

No, I know you know, you wrote me the most awesome review EVER

I just figured this was more a place for works-in-progress but I could be wrong, so I've put up a thread as you suggested...

[rad]

Bump for new update. I need to decide on the gen 3 heir soon, you might find out who that is in the next update. The story will change quite a bit in gen 3 because of the restrictions that need lifting next. I've ruled one of the kids out but any of the other three could give it a very interesting take.

[moondaisy]

Dear Rad,

I read your update and was so sorry to see Oscar go. However, it was comforting to see him 'wholesome and unscarred' before he made the passage to the Other Side.

Your comment here intrigues me. I never thougtht of the heir/heiress issue until you mentioned it. I can't wait for the next update and found out... I'm also tickled that you have already ruled one person out!

PS: I'm defo on a cliff hanger now!

[rad]

Well the one I've ruled out will probably lift a restriction quite quickly and I also don't feel like I could find their 'voice' or find much of a story in their challenge. I keep umming and aahing about the other three. It may come down to who I can find a mate for rather than any other factors.

[rad]

New entry is up 2.12 Nothing more to say. Things feel very bittersweet for the family right now, and knowing the restrictions Gen 3 will be trying to lift makes it feel even more so as you'll discover soon.

[dbloveshermac]

Bittersweet is just the right word for this entry. Great and sad and hopeful, all at once.

[moondaisy]

Great update, Rad!
Can't say more here, because I'm afraid I might spill the beans, but I left a comment on your site.

[mdpthatsme]

My answer can only be---whoa

[rad]

Thank you xxx

[rad]

New entry is up. Say hello to Firefly.

[dbloveshermac]

Hi hi, Firefly! You've defined her view of life pretty clearly. I think I'm going to enjoy her dispatches, although I'm afraid she has some rocky times ahead given the career choices of all the siblings.

[rad]

Well, it's only her aunt and brother you have to watch out for. Echo's music story isn't particularly rocky and Ezri is also a cop - but of course being a cop in apocalyptic Riverview won't be easy for either of them.

Bump for new update

Bump for another new update
