Forging the Blade is the story of Duncan MacLeod's experiences immediately after he became immortal, through his training period with Connor MacLeod. It will be completed in two arcs. This is a work in process. ARCHIVING: Please ask first. RATING: PG-13 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: I have many to thank in writing this piece. I'd like to thank Devo for the excellent suggestion on the arc title. I must thank Killa for being a terrific advisor and staunch supporter in too many ways to count. In addition, there were a number of people on the FCA list that provided excellent feedback on an earlier draft, but I would especially like to thank Poledra and Jette Goldie for their expert assistance in all things Scottish, as well as general good advice. Any errors of any kind, however, are entirely my own. DISCLAIMER: The characters and concepts belong to others. I am merely borrowing them for awhile and hope to return them without too much loss to their dignity. These chapters will be up on my site shortly (as soon as the server is back up, grrr) When that happens the stories can be reached through: http://www.wordsmiths.net/MacGeorge/wip.html Feedback is always greatly appreciated.
