META Arc of the Wolf: Distant Horizons, Reference 1/1 [G]

A quick and handy reference guide to the stories, artwork and
othersuch that goes along with the first 'part' of the very big
storyline, the Arc of the Wolf.  The main reason I'm posting this is
because there are more authors and artists involved in it than simply
me, and this allows for a quick referral in case anyone wants to go
back and see things in order.  Likewise, On the Nature of Wind is
included in here just because that makes it simple.

A few of these stories were written AFTER I started posting it all
here, so (because I'm going chronologically) you haven't likely read
them yet.  In as such, you can find them here now.

Anyway, on with the tales!

THE STORIES

Title: Best Smile
Rating: G
Words: 842
Timeline: 2228
Notes: Six year old Montgomery Scott has already learned a few
lessons, and one of those is simple: "People leave. Even when you
don't want them to." Not quite his POV, not quite apart from it.

Title: Wait
Rating: G
Words: 1657
Timeline: 2232
Notes: Prompted by renarcher; Spock, McCoy and Scott meet as children.
Kinda. Probably not what she had in mind (given the age gaps between
them), but hey. Of course, none of the involved parties know each
other. Originally posted and best read here: http://slwatson.livejournal.com/149310.html

Title: Now
Rating: PG
Words: 483
Timeline: 2235
Notes: I am gonna say that this is really fricken gritty, despite only
being a PG rating. No, seriously. So, think before you read and if you
don't wanna do gritty, then please please don't read. It doesn't do
any explaining, either. It just is. Absolutely best read in it's
original post here:http://slwatson.livejournal.com/92066.html

Title: Junkyard Dogs
Rating: PG, one cuss word
Words: 10,240
Timeline: 2237-2238
Notes: The whole story in one linked post. Inspired by
CommanderTeddog's plotbunny, a look at Scotty from fifteen through
sixteen; how he gets into the idea of testing the Perera Field Theory
mentioned in the novel Kobayashi Maru, as well as how he eventually
gets the notion to go into Starfleet, all from the point of view of
someone who has more in common with him than just a few coincidental
traits. And how that person eventually comes to terms with the
connection. Read it in its original, and best, format:

Title: Torn
Rating: G
Words: 1875
Timeline: January 2240
Notes: Takes place between Junkyard Dogs and Downtime, before the
events mentioned in Kobayashi Maru (the novel); two years before On
the Nature of Wind. As always, best read in it's original format here:
http://slwatson.livejournal.com/145583.html

Title: Downtime
Author: Teddog
Rating: G
Words: 625
Timeline: June 2240
Notes: Written for me by Teddog, who has never watched Star Trek;
Scott, three days before he ships off for Starfleet Basic Training,
looking at his life in three piles. Please consider giving her
feedback; maybe we can hook her into the fandom!

Title: Processing
Rating: G
Words: 2642
Timeline: June 2240
Notes: One of a set of 'Basic Training' stories -- that particular
group is not finished and only has two parts. Edited by Teddog. This
is a look at Scott going through processing (and finding it beyond a
surreal experience); kind of a darkish comedy of incredulity. Mostly,
though, just very surreal.  Read it here: http://slwatson.livejournal.com/150001.html

Title: Distant Horizons
Rating: G
Words: 1527
Timeline: August 2240
Notes: The second 'Basic Training' tale; two months in, Scott starts
figuring out a few things. Like what freedom is, when you've earned it
rather than gained it by apathy, and what it is to be just a little
bit defiant against what was demanded or expected of you. Edited by
Teddog. Best read here: http://slwatson.livejournal.com/150067.html

On the Nature of Wind
Author: SLWatson
Editors: KRWalker, Maguena, Sadisticerrorpi
Betas: TheBrimmstone, Smoke Glacken (Jen), Allenth, Sabby (other Jen),
Ehzoterik, Merfilly
Rating: PG, mild cussing
Timeline: 2242 - 2243
Notes: The story that started the whole thing -- Cadet Scott gets
stuck building a really big boat as a final for Starfleet Engineering
Academy.  Except... nothing quite goes exactly like he, or anyone
else, would expect.  You can read the whole thing here:
http://slwatson.livejournal.com/144932.html

Title: Uncommon Language
Rating: G
Words: 534
Timeline: 2242
Notes: Takes place between the Prologue and Part I of On the Nature of
Wind... a light-hearted look at accents, and a building friendship.
For some reason, people adore this one. Originally posted here:

Title: Gauntlets: White Ash and War Paint
By: RenArcher
Rating: PG
Words: 620
Timeline: 2243
Notes: A possible look at Corry between Part II and Part III, after
the fire. Written for me as a gift by my friend Danie; vivid imagery!
Read it here: http://renarcher.livejournal.com/70907.html

Title: Sunset
By: Sadisticerrorpi
Rating: G
Words: 402
Notes: An absolutely amazing first-person look into Corry's head,
inside of Part IV, Chapter 1. I was floored by just how keen her
insight was, and in this case, even if he is mine, her's were better
than mine.  Can be read here: http://sadisticerrorpi.livejournal.com/4905.html

Title: Just One Moment
By: Merfilly
Rating: PG
Words: 133
Notes: A distinct snippet view of Part IV, Chapter 6 -- short, but
pretty damn cool.  Read it here: http://merfilly.livejournal.com/547230.html

So, that's it for the stories (so far).

THE ART

Jay - A quick sketch of Jay McMillan from Junkyard Dogs.  Not a
finished piece, but still:
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa88/watson_stephanie/Jay_sketch.jpg

Junkyard Dogs - A four-panel piece from Junkyard Dogs; I'm not one-
hundred percent happy with it, for reasons I can't decide.  CONTAINS
SPOILERS for the story.  Color, Photoshop CS2, Wacom Bamboo, several
hours: http://slwatson.livejournal.com/142425.html

Jay - Jay again, this time as depicted by Teddog!  Who has a
distinctly cartoony style.  Traditional, mixed-media:
http://commanderteddog.livejournal.com/494468.html

Late Night - Inside of Part II of ONOW; Cadet Scott working into the
night.  Color, Photoshop CS2, Wacom Bamboo, several hours.

Shipwright - Inside of Part IV of ONOW; what must it feel like to have
built this large, beautiful ship, but still feel so small compared to
nature?  Two panels, color, Photoshop CS2, Wacom Bamboo, many many
hours: http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa88/watson_stephanie/Shipwright.jpg

Slipping - Inside Part IV of ONOW; Scotty at the end of his proverbial
(and literal) rope.  It was actually pitch black down there, but I
took some artistic license.  Color, PS CS2, Wacom Bamboo, relatively
quick piece:
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa88/watson_stephanie/Water.jpg

Judgment - Part V, Chapter IV of ONOW; Corry and Scotty waiting for
their final fate (at least in Starfleet) with steady hearts.  Color,
Photoshop CS2, Wacom Bamboo, fairly quick piece:
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa88/watson_stephanie/Judgement.jpg

And, that is it.  Stories, artwork and all you could possibly want to
know (and then some!) about the first 'era' of the Arc of the Wolf.
Enjoy!
