I'm taking a page from the infamous AlbertG and posting a Comments page because there are some things I wish to clarify. First off, this story now has an official name. This is Circles in Light. Story two (which covers season 4 and part of 5) will be Circles in Dark and story three (an epilogue several years in the future) is Circles in Gray. At least that's the plan and we all know how well plans actually work. I should also mention that I have attempt to use Beta Readers (and I do know that I should) but out of all the people who have volunteered to read, critique, and correct my stories, I have only really heard back from one or two of them. I'd much rather have beta readers but I can't wait forever for them to respond.

I am still working on this story as well as Homecoming but have had some trouble with both of them, which I'll get into in a moment. First off, an explanation of this story.

Circles was originally started in 1994. For some reason, I stopped after four segments; I don't remember why. I stumbled on the story again very early in 2008 and my interest in B5 peaked once again. I decided to finish the story. One problem ... I had no idea where I had meant to go with it.

So I reread it, thought it over then discarded the fourth segment, which had Michael ending up in Mick's universe. (Which would have been interesting but I had no idea where to go from there. If anyone is interested in the original version, let me know and I will post it but be warned that it will be an unfinished work.)

The story originally occurred in the second season but I decided to move it into the third season. While rereading the ten posted parts, I realized that, while the story was taking place directly after the arrest of Nightwatch, there was no mention of that event and other events happening at the same time. Ooops!! So I will be doing some rewriting to correct that. I also need to eventually explain why Talia wasn't taken over by Control. That may not appear until the second story but it will be explained.

I have been dithering with this story for a couple months, unable to go forward and make it work. I finally took a good hard look at it and decided that a scene (that I really liked) had to go. Once it was pulled, the rest of the story more or less fell into place. Which means I'm back on schedule (kind of). A moment of silence, please, for the discarded scene.

Thank you.

Circles is a fun story and I truly hope everyone is enjoying it. Mick and Michael are so much alike and yet occasionally startling different. I'm having fun writing it and hope to post a new segment by the end of the month but I'm also working at redecorating and decluttering my abode so don't hold your breath.

A couple clarifications. The morley dotes mentioned earlier is a nod to the Garrett PI series written by Glen Cook. Jamie Dawson and Dawson's Christian is from a song called Dawson's Christian.
