This is the start of a fanfiction piece I worked on some time ago, a crossover between the characters of C.J. Cherryh's Chanur novels and characters of mine from a long-retired multi-universe roleplaying game that originally started on Rifts.
It's my attempt to copy Cherryh's style, so if I've done my job properly, it will bear similarity to her work and writing style in the various Chanur books.
It's supposed to take place after the events in Chanur's Legacy, and introduces new complications to Hilfy Chanur's trading life.
Story development has been on hiatus for a time now, and I can't promise when or if I'll continue working on it. We'll see.
Constructive criticism and helpful feedback is always welcome. Please don't bash for bashing's sake - I KNOW it's fan-fiction. But hopefully it's well-written fanfic.

I've read hundreds of sci-fi novels over the years and the Pride of Chanur series is one of my top 5 favorites. They were truly fast paced, non stop.
Don't read much any more but I am into Webers Honor Harrington series. (The next one out is going to be reeeealy good)
I'm going to put a fav on this and read it tonight or tomorrow.
If I can get enough art work done this summer, I'll try and get to finishing up several short stories I have in various stages. I love to write, I just don't type very fast.
Good luck with this.

It's always difficult finding the correct headspace to write, isn't it? I have the time, but with worrying about my job situation and money, I never seem to have the inspiration.
And no one I know is any better off - it's difficult in every way with this economy.
Good luck to you as well, my friend. I hope you're able to work on your stories.

Dang! I wish I'd read this earlier. Two years and no follow-up? Bummer!
It fits the feel of Cherryh's writing. I tried to find anything to criticize (I like helpful criticism myself). Not much. I'd have to re-read the Chanur series again, but I don't recall their foreheads sweating. I suspect most hani would automatically think of an unknown captain as "she". The smell and shedding fur surely takes me back. The personal power of the captain and the eerieness of the winged one might be overstated at this point in the writing - I'd say it would need more than just the first impressions to get that intense of a read on them.
Consideration of profit by the trader: true to form. The way Hilfy thinks of the chaos that would result in the Compact fits.
And now I want more!
