Quantum Gallop is about to conclude, and that means that I will be turning my attention to other stories that either have been neglected, or not even begun! I hope to do another episode of Safe Landings entitled "Seriously...?" which is intended to be a lighthearted look at the ridiculous things that the A.R.R.R. Squad has encountered doing their job.

"ARRRRRGGGGH!"

If you write fan-fiction, you will either violate canon immediately, or it will be violated inevitably by the show sooner or later. That is the nature of the genre.

My collaborator – AlaskaIsCold – has started writing a side-fic based near the end of "A Different Perspective". Those of you who are familiar with the story know of the plan to bring Princess Iridia of the Green Hive over to help Queen Gossamer set up the new Chrome Hive. It's a big departure from the life she has known until now, and she writes home frequently to her mother, Queen Dianthia. These are
