-edit-
Oh, and Haigeki has a new chapter.

I finally got 'round to reading this. Damn that author can write. No matter what I think of the story, the raw talent shines through.

[Dracos]

Hmm.

More Delanda Est.  Kind of a sudden end to the chapter indeed. 

Spoiler: ShowHide

"Good, Good, OhGodEveryoneJustGotMurderized."

I suppose its a good cliffhanger but the fight scene was just so sudden and quick that it's like "Wait, the second big face off between good lead and bad lead was like a minute.

New chapter of Under Review is up.

The second step is realizing that Reimu cheats in Touhou. And is poor.

If this were actually true, I'd be much better when I play Touhou games.  Or maybe I just suck that badly.

The trick is learning how Reimu cheats. The answer to that is "bomb more".

Alternately, the answer is in the lesser known of her abilities, the power to eat sweets and not get fat. Keeps that hitbox slim.

New chapter of Under Review is up.

Glad you're enjoying, I should probably toss up a topic here for feedback or something.

Help me kick some life into the creative writing section. :p

Harry Potter and the Heartlands of Time is currently somewhere dangerously near the Chris Carter Danger Zone.

Continues and is still kind of a neat take on the game.

Dungeon Keeper Ami updated.

I'm sort of split on DK Ami.  On one hand, it's kind of a pretty neat story.  Ami is a good character for it and they do interesting things with her.  On the other hand, a great deal of it is just talk with a whole lot of OCs.  Like tons.  It drove me out after a while and even peeking back in when it's sort of easier to follow, it's still seems that there's at least one new character every other addition.

No.

You should Bomb More. =)

Feedback will be drawn to you.

Victory at Ostagar

This is a really good alternate exploration of the Dragon Age story, shifted at the start by the battle of Ostagar being a victory rather than a crushing defeat. The beacon is lit in time, Loghain rides in to crush the embattled darkspawn, King Cailan gets to be all heroic... and in a last gasp assault the darkspawn kill every Grey Warden except for Alistair and Bronwyn Cousland (the Noble Human origin PC). Thus the last two Grey Wardens are tasked with gathering allies and recruiting new wardens, while the army strengthens the fortifications at Ostagar to hold off further waves and keep the Blight from spreading.

With this setup it'd be all too easy to make the journey, well... easy. But it turns out that King Cailan's machinations can be just as perilous as Loghain's were in the original plot, and Arl Howe - cornered and without any support here unlike in the game where he becomes Loghain's right hand - becomes all the more bitter a foe with his back against the wall.

The cast is well developed, with all of the part members from the game, as well as several incidental characters and every other potential origin PC being given a place. The existing characters stay true to their natures, and their actions make sense in the new scenario, and all of the PC characters are given their unique personalities complementary to their origin stories that are every bit as engaging and fun to read about.

It's not complete, but the most recent chapter was on the 1st of August, and at over 330k words long it'll keep you busy a while if you at all enjoyed Dragon Age.

edit: Updated today, nice.

Apparently, most everything is from the DK world. It's not OCs as much as using a pair of obscure games to form the backbone of the story.

Huh.  Really?  the Dungeon Keeper games were largely tactical affairs.  The 'forces of light' in the Sunlit kingdom largely just a handful of names, not dozens of characters.  Even googling all I see is that the only named characters are Horny (the Reaper) and King Reginald and his sons.  The vast amount of NPCs in it are just given generic names "Knight", "Fairy", etc.

It's not the type of game where you had lots of named characters, because that would detract from the fantasy of it.  Sure, they're rooted in it, but I'm pretty sure they're all OCs in the same way our D&D characters are.

That's a neat notion.  I've been wavery on reading DA fanfiction, but that's a good pitch for some.

I could be wrong, this is second-hand information.

To be honest it hasn't bothered me, since the focus stays mostly on Ami.
