June 6 - A Whopping Update

[Kira]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Kira here, too tired from doing html to actually bother retyping any of this in my own words. I give you, Zeke's news blurb.

(I think this should make up for having only two updates in May....)

------

About (shudder) two years ago, Andy Taylor, whose work has been published here before, asked me about doing some DS9 fivers. Unfortunately, the only episodes he had on tape were the so-called Final Chapter -- the second half of Season 7, from "Penumbra" on. I said he could try the latter episode, and when I found his work promising, I cleared him for the next one, "'Til Death Do Us Part." This kept on for a while, and I could see Andy improving his skills as he went -- to the point that when he finally finished the penultimate episode, "The Dogs of War," I decided to make what is so far my only exception to the two-parters-are-Zeke's-property rule and let him do the finale to cap off his work. This all concluded several months ago. Ever since, I've been planning to post his work "soon." (See the Abbreviations page in the About section.) And now, after a long dry period in terms of updates, I've decided it's about darn time I followed through. Behold the last nine episodes of Deep Space Nine, condensed by Andy Taylor:

[*]Five-Minute "Penumbra"[*]Five-Minute "'Til Death Do Us Part"[*]Five-Minute "Strange Bedfellows"[*]Five-Minute "The Changing Face of Evil"[*]Five-Minute "When It Rains..."[*]Five-Minute "Tacking Into the Wind"[*]Five-Minute "Extreme Measures"[*]Five-Minute "The Dogs of War"[*]Five-Minute "What You Leave Behind"[/list]
I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. Andy's kept working on them while waiting for me to get this done, by the way -- amid the charming British slang, you'll spot some references to pretty recent Trek. I think work in this quality and quantity most certainly deserves comment, so be sure to keep those feedback links in mind.

Five-Minute DS9 is arguably our most undersupplied section -- hopefully this'll please the Niner Fiver fans in the audience. (Hello, Kosst Amojan.) This update pretty much doubles the subsite's size, so that should hold you guys quite a while.

I'll likely end up back here later to comment on some of my favorite scenes, but I'll add now that although this should hold you guys for a while, doesn't mean it necessarily will have to. There will be big things happening around the site in the next few weeks, so stay tuned.[/colorost_uid0]
