Andrea ‘Andi’ Gannett-Moore was a pretty typical Grade 9 student, even if she was sent from her native Britain to a boarding school in the United States. She loved sports and activity, had a slightly snide sense of humor, and wasn’t exactly the best student at her school.
And then one day Andi started getting all the answers right. She started recognizing patterns. She remembered almost every moment of her life and could correlate them. She could learn complex skills in minutes by sheer intuition. Out of nowhere, Andi Gannett-Moore had become the smartest human being on Earth… but not by accident. Now Andi’s in a race to learn how to effectively use her new gifts even as shadowy forces seek to make her a weapon… or something even worse.
On Wednesdays we'll be presenting stories. Which, you know, isn't materially different from Mondays, where we present stories, or Friday, where we present stories. We're kind of a story operation, if you think about it. However, Mondays we specifically present myth. Fridays are devoted (at least for the moment) to serials and one-shots in the Justice… Continue reading Lovelace½ #1
Part two of the new ongoing story Lovelace 1/2. Folks seemed to like Andi the last time out, which is very cool. I should mention something right at the outset. I work at a private school myself -- some of the details at Brooks-Carillon comes from my school. However, the location of the school -- just… Continue reading Lovelace½ #2
And now, part three of Lovelace 1/2. So far folks seem to like the story, and that's awesome. This part is a hair shorter -- it's hard, sometimes, to end on a dramatic beat, as a serial requires, and still make it a heavy length. That said, I'm sure there are plenty of people that are… Continue reading Lovelace½ #3
Part four of Lovelace 1/2. I've been enjoying the speculation of the limits of Andi's new abilities. There's some good meat for that discussion in this one -- I think, at least. As well as the seeds of... well, what's going to come next. Enjoy! Andi stared. "What did you say?" "I said you played that… Continue reading Lovelace½ #4
Week five of Lovelace 1/2, which has been going quite well so far. It certainly seems to be popular and I enjoy the 'figuring out Andi's limits' discussions that recur. (For those who have asked -- oh yes, she has them. In her own way.) Of course, sooner or later we need to move to the… Continue reading Lovelace½ #5
As I stated on Wednesday, I ran into some trouble on Wednesday -- and unfortunately there was more than a little crap that came up, which meant some necessary revisions to Lovelace 1/2 part 6 couldn't get finished until late on Thursday. So, this is going to be our Friday post this week. It means putting… Continue reading Lovelace½ #6
And we're back on track with Lovelace 1/2. You may notice, if you've an interest in such things, that we've taken the "Story Day" off the post name. After a while, it seems a bit ridiculous to leave it on. Obviously, today's a 'story day.' We're telling stories over here. Last time out, we had a… Continue reading Lovelace½ #7
It's Wednesday, and we're back to Lovelace 1/2. And I should address something for the record. I've had several people ask me what the title actually says. And I've seen one group that -- no joke -- thought this was a Ranma 1/2 parody where someone got thrown into the pool of drowned first computer programmer, which to… Continue reading Lovelace½ #8
There were server problems overnight, so final prep on this post was about a half-hour late. I'm not sure anyone cared (or even noticed) but me, but there we are anyway. Nine parts into Lovelace 1/2. It's kind of wild to me how quickly this is going -- at least in one sense. Having a novel… Continue reading Lovelace½ #9
Wednesday means Lovelace 1/2, and this is no exception. I'm not sure what else to say about that. Things are definitely moving. Where they go... well. For the record, there may -- may -- be a moment of wish fulfillment in this episode. I hope you enjoy Lovelace 1/2 #11 Andi expected the school day to be stranger… Continue reading Lovelace½ #10
There is something about Lovelace 1/2 that inspires me to be late in posting. It may be because I tend to prep these episodes during hectic times of the week, which means its easier to miss something. I do my Corbett-877 prep over the weekends, so there's always plenty of time. Likewise, I have the full week… Continue reading Lovelace½ #11
So. It's Wednesday, and that means it's Lovelace 1/2. This is an exceptionally busy time for me, day job wise. I work at a school -- for the record, not Brooks-Carillon. In fact, my school and Brooks-Carillon aren't that much alike, beyond a superficial similarity common to many private schools. However, we're gearing up for the start of… Continue reading Lovelace½ #12
