Honorverse I have been re-reading David Weber's Honorverse series and do want to do a story in this setting.  Unlike before when I pitched a story in this setting, I do have something more solid of a plot hook for this.  The time frame for this is set 30 T-years after the final events in Uncompromising Honor.  It had been thirty years of peace as both the Alliance and the Solarian League recover from the devastation of the war.   Final events of formalizing the last stages of the permanent alliance between the Star Kingdom and the Republic of Haven when new events happen.  Reports of Haven shipping attacked by Andermani military, Andermani planets and navy attacked by ships of the Mantacorian Navy, and Solarian League Navy holdouts committing orbital strikes in the Talbot Cluster.  The galaxy is again on the brink of war, just as the Alignment wants.

Characters which I would like to see explored in this setting.  I am willing to play multiple characters but I do want to focus on the second generation of the main characters than the first.

Harrington Family
James Harrington would be about 42 T-Years old would be a Lieutenant Commander to Commander

Harrington-Alexander Family
Katherine Harrington-Alexander, 31 T-Years old, Lieutenant to Lieutenant Commander
Alistar Harrington-Alexander, 30 T-Years old, Lieutenant

Mayhew Family
Rachel Mayhew, 52 T-Years old, Captain in the Grayson Navy
Honor Mayhew, 45 T-Years old, Commander in the Grayson Navy
Lawrence Mayhew, 40 T-Years old, Lieutenant Commander in the Grayson Navy

The above are some of the more notable children characters in the books, though by the start of At All Costs, Rachel Mayhew was about to attend her freshman (Snottie) year at the Academy.  I specifically left Faith and Raoul out of the lists as the designated heirs to Honor's titles in both Manticore and Grayson, I felt they would have been discouraged from taking up armed service.  I can be arm twisted to allow Faith to be out there with her twin, James, but Raoul by Grayson law I feel would have been told "No." 

I am also open to original characters with ties to the families, or to other character's in the books.  By the end of Uncompromising Honor Roger Winton was married, and Elizabeth also had a daughter, and either one of them could have had children.  If so then they would be younger than 30 T-Years (Max 28) and be any rank from Ensign (Age 23) to Lieutenant (Age 28).   

As always my On and Offs are listed below in my signature block, as is a page with links to my past and present writing projects here on E!.  While there is a large number of stories with heavy BDSM or some Non-Con, it is not all what I am about and do prefer to write stories with plot over smut.  I am certain we can discuss more in PM's.
