Yes it does. There's the set-up (pilot if you will) in Elysium, which takes place after the show and starts the Romulan War. Then the Endeavour Chronicles proper begins.

I guess the general consensus is that an AU is an alternate take with a point of divergence somewhere within the show. END would instead be considered a "virtual continuation".

So how do I find it all IN ORDER? FF.net doesn't organize well.

If he's posted it as separate stories and not as chapters of the same story then it'll be alphabetical in the default setting and all out of order, but you can change the listing to make it list the stories by date of posting instead. That's generally a better bet since most authors write and post as they go so the stories will be posted in chronological order. At least it works for my stories.

Thank you kindly. But I can't promise to be able to deal with Malcolm's death. If someone is pulling my leg all I've got to say is you aren't playing fair! :-p

Ooooh I've got a what if, but it might have been thought up before... What if Malcolm was working for Section 31 on Enterprise. I'm not just talking reports, I mean real honest-to-god, cloak-and-dagger, super spy.

All these what if's are giving me a headache because they are so damned great.

I am like a kid locked in a Candy facttory, I know what I want but don't know where to begin.

BIG what if: What if the writers were competent didn't have their heads up their collective asses and wrote decently with continuity and a continuing story line and fleshed out characters, and most espeicaly an Ensemble series with NO damend super archer. Fact is
I was once in negoitations with the devil to trade my old raggedy, worn, soiled, Soul for Archers death but the series ended before the negiations were fiisihed so nothinng come of it.

I don't want much. Just as close to perfection as possible.

He had a website but the host expired so he's homeless for now. It's a pity since it was a great site, with lots of extra information, cast pages and vessels and things like that.

ETA: Scratch that. Just as I posted this I learned that he's found a new host, with the url: http://www.rigilkent-online.com/ There everything can be found.

Anyway, he lists them in order at his ff.net homepage:
Elysium (END-00) - complete
Endeavour: Vigrid (END-01) - complete
Endeavour: Ragnarök (END-02) - complete
Endeavour: Icarus (END-03) - complete
Endeavour: Pandora (END-04) - complete
Endeavour: Acheron (END-05) - complete
Endeavour: Grendel (END-06) - complete
Endeavour: Medea (END-07) - complete
Endeavour: Amaterasu (END-08) - WIP
Endeavour: Xolotl - In Planning

Exactly.
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

Here's a what if... What if Hoshi was actually a true telepath, they hinted at it but then NOTHING! Those idiots really wasted her character, and Linda Park was a fine actress. :-X

Warpgirl, they wasted Linda Park. so what else is new?

they wasted Domnic Keqting, anothny Montegomery, Jolene blalock and most espeically Conner Trinnier (sP). Criminal

Instead they heaped a lot of stilted, wooden acting by bakkula on us.

Okay, get out your whips and chains, pitchforks and torches.

I HATE ARcher and I strongly disliked Bakkula's intepretaton of Archer and his acting.

Now you know my dirty lottle secret.

Not-so-much a secret dear, but Hoshi was so pretty and sweet. It's hard to think that she got so shafted, I mean they did the same thing to Roxann Dawson when Jeri Ryan showed up. Now I don't blame Jeri Ryan or Jolene Blalock for being very beautiful women, nor do I think they asked to be showed off at the expense of the other female characters, NO WAY! But it's sad that that's what TPTB did. There are SO MANY different types of beautiful women, and not all are tall voluptuous models. It just would have been nice for Hoshi to really shine some. As a woman and a character.

Here's an interesting What if... What if in Desert Crossing, Archer had the hardest time and got sick? I would have liked to see Trip in cartaker mode. Or what if Trip saved Malcolm from drowning, and helped him get past his phobia.

Warpgirl, It isn't so much beauty as sheer waste of talent.

Truth be known I would far rather T-Pol had worn a more modest uniform. 7 of 9 too.

think dawson held her own prety well against Ryan. she was attractive and a very good actress and her character had real depth to it. Ryan's character really didn't get the depth it needed until later on.

Don't think that Hoshi should have tried to outshine t-Pol in the ooks department. Had
the writers established and enhanced her abilities as a linguist and not made her such a shrinking violet.

There is a writer on Trek BBs (Badger) who has Hoshi as a dangerous, Gambling, female. Much more intersting.

If Hoshi had been that.
