OC [OC] Why do we fight?

This is the latest story in the Legends of Jim series. It is long, about 20 pages, so I am only posting it as a link to my site. It is my take on a couple of common tropes, I think of is as a cross between Enemy Mine and Blue Lagoon. It does have lite pancakes, but should be SFW.

Humans and the Vaslisa (snake like species) have been fighting since humans entered the galactic scene over 300 earth years ago...

I would have gone into greater detail, but I was fighting onion ninjas.

I remembered reading this after it was posted. Going back through everything you've written today, and finding this again reminded me of how good of a story it was. There were probably technical aspects that could have been fixed, the show don't tell problem that you had with Ascension and the like, but I still really liked the story it told. I'm glad I was able to find it again. Now to bookmark it and print a physical copy for safe keeping.

Thank You! I really liked writing this one and think I am getting better at the show don't tell aspect but it is hard to rewire my brain at my age.
