Hey everone,

Is there a vocabulary/jargon link for LFN stories?
This is all I have for reference; U.S. MILITARY ABBREVIATION AND ACRONYM LIST

is the LFN Writers Resource Board.

http://members.cox.net/specopfloyd/home.html

As to your other questions: although there is a preponderance (sp?) of romantic/sex stories on the boards these days, some of the best LFN stories ever were mission-based.

Have you ever looked at Ranma's archive?

http://www.thesplitpersonality.net/lfn/writers/writers.shtml

A couple of excellent action-based-plot writers are Betsy (not Betsy G, just Betsy) and Enjoue. Jean also has some terrific ones, try her Madison series especially; it starts with "Grateful Dead".

As to music... ::shrug:: I can only speak for myself. I don't use music links when they're linked to a story. But that's me.

Who is who... well, this is a little harder. Let me start here: do you know who is who? Is the story done? Because if you're going to insert little hints about true identities, obviously you need to know who is 'real' and who is not.

As always, this is just my opinion. Feel free to think about it, use it or just throw it away.

Hello again,

Thanks for the links.

Yes, I know who is who. Story to end. Can't you tell from the intro-draft? Really you need the rest of the intro for that. I have been working on the rest of it, 6 to 8 pages, just the intro/foundation to this story.

I will remove the music links. Period.

Thanks, you've been a great help.

-----------------------------------

In the tower, a soft contemporary melody surrounds Paul and Madeline as they share a Hallmark moment. Slightly tipsy on champagne after dancing cheek to cheek and bedding, they intimately settle back on the bed to relax.

Unexpectedly, there's a knock on the door. Paul sits up and yells, "Who is it? Damn!" Paul looks at Madeline shaking his head, "Why?"

As Madeline hustles to find her robe, she tries to calm Paul with a smile. "Calm down, Paul. It could be important."

"Sir?" Walter loudly clears his throat, "It.... Its Walter. Sorry to interrupt you. George is at COMM threatening to blow Section if you don't show up soon."

Paul yells again, "What the hell! Where's Michael?" Lowering his voice, "I'll never put him in charge again."

Paul and Madeline scurry to dress as Paul continues to flame at Walter through the door, "Walter! Find Michael! Tell him to put George in containment. I'll be right out!"

As Walter takes off to find Michael, Madeline and Paul are finished dressing when suddenly the air vent cover falls to the floor and a sniper begins to assassinate them. Paul is hit first, and falls to the floor as his eyes connect with Madeline, who is reaching for a gun from a near by drawer. Shot in the back, she falls slowly to the floor next to the bed. Pausing for a moment, the sniper, looks at Paul and Madeline then runs out the door.

Meanwhile, Walter has found Michael on a lower level around data central and proceeds to fill him in as they walk back to Michael's office. As Michael takes a seat at his desk, he glances at Nikita who is sitting on his desk flipping his lamp on and off. He can't help but notice the way her skirt is kinda hiked up on her leg. He sighs, looking back at Walter, "Go to Seymore and tell him to pull up a PC-34 on the west wing terminal."

As Walter takes off to COMM, Michael notices a masked man with a gun in black pants and shirt descending from the tower stairs towards the exit terminal. Michael orders Nikita, "Call medical and have them meet us in the tower."

As alarms go off, everyone in section is running around in chaos. Michael calmly gets a gun from his desk then embarks for the tower. Intercepting two operatives on his way, he instructs them to find a man in black shirt and pants around the exit terminal. Nikita calls the infirmary then heads for the tower.

The tower door is slightly open when Michael arrives. Without expression, he slowly pushes the door open the rest of the way with the end of the gun which reveals Operation's bleeding body at the foot of the bed. Checking the room for hostiles first, Michael calmly moves to Operation's side then kneels to take his vital signs. Before he can determine whether Paul is alive, the med-techs arrive and Michael moves aside.

As Nikita enters the door way, her eyes meet with Michael's. Michael walks to the intercom to buzz Seymore, "Seymore here!"

Michael replies, "Seymore, turn the alarms off then have George put in detainment." Seymore reluctantly replies, "Ah.., he is right here." George takes the COMM., "What the hell are you...." George is cut short as his two body guards fall to the floor.

"Seymore have the ops take George to containment." Michael leaves the room with Nikita trailing his heals.

As Michael and Nikita arrive at containment, George is already strapped in the chair. Michael walks around the room a couple of times as Nikita stands in support.

Nikita addresses George first, "George, I thought Operations disposed of you?"

George replies, "What? Obviously naut!" Nikita looks and Michael.

Michael supports Nikita's inquiry, "The question is, what to do with you now? You are a Red Cell trader."

George defends himself, "What are you talking about? Seriously. Where is Operations?"

As Michael continues to interrogate George, Nikita slips out to check on Operations and Madeline. When Nikita enters the infirmary, she sees both Operations and Madeline being fussed over. She interjects, "How are they?"

The chief physician replies, "Their wounds are clean. I think they'll live."

Nikita is joined by Walter then Seymore as the chief physician steps away. "What's the prognosis?" Walter asks visibly concerned.

"It's not good, she replies staring into the infirmary, but the doctor thinks they'll live."
