War Games




So I lied. I decided to do it today. It has taken--God--eight months, numerous rewrites, multiple betas, and weeks of procrastination, but finished! Finally. And surprisingly long at that.

Author Notes: Thanks to: [livejournal.com profile] ymfaery, [livejournal.com profile] kernezelda, [livejournal.com profile] jazzy_peaches, [livejournal.com profile] shinetheway, and [livejournal.com profile] girlnamedpixley for the wonderful betas.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] girlnamedpixley for the amazing art; she went above and beyond and then far, far beyond that to create something amazing.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] transtempts and [livejournal.com profile] winterlive, who pre-read and held my hand and kind of pushed me until this was done.

Warnings: some violence, mental coercison



Other Versions

PDF Files

War Games, 4.87 MB, PDF file, created by [livejournal.com profile] girlnamedpixley and with some different art that appears in the online version. I have instructions from her, pasted below:
This is formatted for double-sided printing, so if they print it front and back, the left margin is wide enough for a 3 hold punch.

The blank second page is there for a reason; it's the back side of the cover image so that the text of the story begins on the right hand page, as it should for printing. That's only important if they're printing it out.

Art and Character Directory

[livejournal.com profile] girlnamedpixley added a few things to the art round-up.

Dr. Melody Huang
Healer Sorin
Lieutenant Gaila

These three can be found on the character list page and also in the story itself in parts 3, 8, and 12.

Alternate pics of T'Prina, Torren, and Gary Mitchell also added, and a link to the picture of Ensign Jacobsen, originally posted to [livejournal.com profile] spock_uhura by [livejournal.com profile] skywaterblue, with a link to the original comment.

Also added is a picture of Battlestations 3's game cover, since obviously it was created by Playstation here.

All art is contained here as well

Ok so secret: Even after I was done betaing it (this is Liz btw, lol), I kept a copy of this on my computer because like every few months I would be like, I want to read that story again. And just as I was starting to think it once again, this gets posted! (Technically on my birthday, no less) :D

You already know how much I love it; congrats on posting and enjoy the insane amount of love from the rest of the world you are about to receive! :)
