IS: Chapter 66

As I sat in my Council Chamber and waited for everyone to arrive for the Council Meeting, I had to wonder if Minister Simowitz would even bother showing up. There had been multiple intelligence failures during the invasion of Von Strang's World, after all. He had to know that I wanted an explanation for said failures. Would he send a minion in his place? Someone to take whatever tongue lashing ...

JB: Chapter 12

The ship I bought with my credits on Ungara wasn't exactly one that had the best history. In fact, she was a former smuggler's ship. Apparently, she'd been the property of the Korugaran Smuggler Darjanik Taan, who used it to smuggle cargo into and out of war zones, quarantines, and blockades before Taan had been caught, not by a Green Lantern patrolling the spacelanes, but by local Ungaran Poli...

EV: Meanwhile, On Abydos III

Colonel Jack O'Neill had, by now at least, managed to figure out a plan. Sure he'd been winging it at first, but that was the first stage in any daring rescue against all odds. Besides, he'd been in a lot worse situations than this, like that time in East Germany back in Eighty-Two. The troops of the Wannabe Space Pharoah weren't anywhere near as tough to handle as the East Germans had been, fo...

Announcements: Cancellations and Going Forward

So, a bunch of people have canceled their subscriptions and I'm not sure why. In the spirit of doing better, what would you guys like to see going forward? Would people like it if I put up a poll to give you guys a choice of any new stories you might want to see? Or a Monthly Poll for which stories to focus on more over the month? Something else?

Let me know if anything sounds interesting...

F&L: Chapter 48

My Summer began with a visit to Gringotts, where my Accounts Manager, Rotwile, congratulated me on such a useful and novel innovation. Then he almost immediately buried me in licensing paperwork. Apparently, I needed to sign off on various license agreements personally for them to be considered binding. Likely, it was a quirk of the Magical Patent Office's, because every paper that Rotwile put ...

RM: Interlude: The Vale Marches

Ser Lyn Corbray frowned as he watched his artillery duel with the artillery from the fortress in front of him. Bronze Yohn Royce declaring for Stannis was an unpleasant surprise, especially given how well-fortified the Royce Lands were. House Royce had long been a priority target for raids by the Mountain Clansmen, as they had seen the Royce's bending of the knee to the Arryns after the Battle ...

OG: Images For Chapter Twenty-One

Here we have images for the last Chapter. It's mostly of the Hot Tin Roof Club, but Takeda Ken's Monokatana, the Raikirimaru, is in there as well. For the Hot Tin Roof Club, you've got to imagine more dead people, though. Unfortunately, the AI Image Generators couldn't seem to get the bodies right, so just use your imagination.

At any rate, the next chapter will involve the Aftermath of t...

OG: Chapter 21

The Hot Tin Roof was a club out in Japantown West, close to the Bridge that led across the river into Kabuki. Notably, it wasn't a BD Club but booked live musical acts, the Mox feeling the need to diversify their holdings. It usually only had to deal with the Japantown Animals maybe hassling the staff, since it'd been close to part of their territory. Usually, the Tyger Claws were too wrapped u...

HL: Chapter 26

"Again. This time, mix the Heaven Chi with the Flame Chi as it reaches your Ajna Chakra, not before and not after!" Demanded the Old Man.

Jackie growled and pushed himself up offa the ground, wiping his face down with the towel provided by his Uncle Li. They'd been at this for a couple hours already and Jackie hadta say that learning these high-level Chi Techniques ain't exactly his favor...

NT: Chapter 98

As time sped back up, my Megakinesis locked down Shermie and Nanakase even as a flash of power and light crashed through the Arena. Nightwolf, in what had to be a display of Shamanic Power, began chanting in Lakota, which I didn't speak but should probably learn, and drawing on mystic and spiritual energy as he did so. He'd sent T. Hawk and Michelle Chang away to help Kensou, Nikaido, and Goro ...

HPLN: Chapter 52

Over the course of the rest of Spring of Two-Seventy-Eight and Into the Summer, I spent much of my time on administration. The Hemp Seeds and cuttings had arrived from the Bosporans now that they weren't focused on fighting Bolgios and I needed to organize the plantations, for one thing. For another, I had to mediate disputes here at home and continue on with the general administration of Epiru...

F&L: Chapter 47

Over the course of the next three weeks, classes rapidly began to wind down as the last week of the school year approached. The pall of the events of the Stone and those of the near-fatal miss with the Goblins that had almost led to war had lingered past those events' occurrences. Now, however, that gloom vanished as the excitement of the upcoming summer break began to replace it with a surge o...

MM: Chapter 50

Almost immediately, I had to cast a shield as Legault's construct rifle fired beams of weaponized hard light my way. The beams thundered into my shield to little effect, while I nodded at Jubilee and gestured to the side of Legault, trying to indicate that she should flank the Superhuman Mercenary while I held his attention without actually saying so. Unfortunately, Jubilee just gave me a dumbf...

EV: Interlude: Meanwhile, On Abydos II

Colonel Jack O'Neill had had better days. That was a bit of an understatement, of course, but what else could you say when ET decided to show up with a freaking battleship and totally ruin everyone's day? There wasn't an expression for that sort of thing, for crying out loud! Unfortunately, that was exactly what had happened. The worst part about it all was that even if they managed to survive ...

IS: Chapter 65

My Victory against the Von Strangs won, I returned to administration as Thirty-Twenty-Eight got underway properly. The very first thing that happened was that I received a message from Rasalhague. Apparently, First, Second, and Third Drakøns were still working up on their new equipment, but they were already seeing major results compared to the hodgepodge of DCMS and LCAF Castoffs that they ha...

BBG: Images for Chapter Twenty-Nine

Here's the Images of new Characters from the last Chapter. As you can see, some things aren't as apparent as Robar Thinks. For example, he thought the divine component of Corbin's Mystic Theurge came from Druid. It instead came from being a Cleric of Yondalla. Meanwhile, he drastically underestimated Thurgrim's Level. He thought the Dwarf was maybe a level above him. He's actually two levels ab...

BBG: Chapter 29

Our group was ushered through the Overhill Town by Commodore Islandwarden and a group of his troops, the halflings shouting at various people to get out of the way. Humans, Dwarves, and Elves bustling about the Market Square of the Overhill Town hastened to scramble out of the way of the wedge of heavily armed Halflings. They may mostly be equipped with Bronze, but a Bronze Blade can kill you j...

WAB: Images for Chapter Three

Here are the images for Chapter Three. There's a lot this time, both in terms of people and places as well as in terms of items. Of course, this run of chapters is essentially a bunch of courtly intrigue with some Colonization By Foreign Powers Shenanigans going on, so there's bound to be a lot I can make images of.

At any rate, the next chapter will involve Choji and Kiba's attempt to sa...

WAB: Chapter 3

As we were led into Kobayakawa Castle, I noticed the Guards were not equipped and outfitted in the standard attire and with the standard blades for the usual Samurai. Oh certainly, there were the standard Katana that you would expect from troops like this, but they weren't wearing the usual Kimono, Haori, and Hakama you'd see on Samurai, but instead embroidered greatcoats and caps, a lot more s...

OG: Chapter 20

I didn't wait for the blast from the Grenade I shot out of the air to clear before leaping out of V's Ao Guang, clearing the open hatch of the Kombi and tucking and rolling as I hit the pavement. I came up to one knee and began firing as I did so. Ten Millimeter rounds charged with Electrical Energy shot out from the Autogun Part of my Hurrican Model Xipe Totec, punching through Animals and per...

JB: Chapter 11

Fentara Rrab turned out to be a bearded, wiry, Graxosian. He was clearly older, with streaks of whitish-gray in his blonde beard and shaggy hair that showed his age. However, with age came experience, especially when you'd been wielding a Power Ring for most of your adult life. Fentara Rrab was definitely not someone to take lightly, as the ease with which he took Arkillo into custody showed. A...

NT: Chapter 97

As an opening, Nikaido launched a Chi-Powered Knee Strike at me that I backed away from. He didn't stop there, though, hopping onto one foot to lash out at me in a jumping back spin kick, which I also dodged away from. The third part of his combination, though, a back flip kick trailing a bolt of lightning upward into the sky slammed into my guard. The electricity splashed harmlessly against my...

F&L: Chapter 46

The Art Room was decorated with streamers in Gold and White, with a banner wishing me a happy birthday in big gold letters. Along one wall, a table sat with a whole bunch of sweets from Honeydukes, alongside two whole cases worth of Butterbeer, kept cold by cooling charms. Along another wall, presents were piled up, wrapped in a number of different types of paper, from brown paper and twine to ...

EV: Interlude: Meanwhile, On Abydos. . .

Daniel Jackson couldn't believe it! His theories had proven correct! The entire Academic Community had practically laughed him out of every symposium and institution he had tried to join or had already been a part of because of them, calling him mad! He had been right, though, and everyone else had been wrong! Even the US Government seemed to recognize that much, as they'd helped him to prove h...

RM: Interlude: Meanwhile With Stannis

It had been a swift campaign so far. After the Battle of Last Rest and the march into the Central Riverlands, Stannis had mostly only fought skirmishes against Tywin Lannister's forces, save for a small force of Tywin's Lapdogs under Lord Karyl Vance and Lord Jason Mallister. Wayfarer's Rest and Seagard had been in Tywin's pay from the very start of the War, after all, and they had used the fun...

OG: Chapter 19

We arrived at Lizzie's ready to Slammit On with the Animals, piling out of V's Ao Guang and rushing into Lizzie's Bar Iron out and ready to fight. Fortunately, it seemed our haste was a bit premature. Nobody was ready to Slammit On at Lizzie's just yet. However, both Erica Nightly and Jessie Nyan were there, as was Suzie Q. No sign of Rita Wheeler or any of the usual, Mox-specific, enforcers, t...

OG: Images of the Champions From Interludes

Here we have the images of the various other Champions that aren't Aleksander Yurinov or Big E. They're all in setting-appropriate attire, and you'll note that Alia and Emma aren't wearing the sort of gear that they would be in the field, that's because they're pictured in their behind-the-scenes roles as Owner of a Restaurant and Chinatown Mystic Curio Shop Owner respectively.

At any rat...

BBG: Chapter 28

For a few moments, we did nothing but heal and rest, using what few spells and potions we had left before heading back up into the Coral Citadel Proper to loot the tower that Xommyrru Mentioned for any remaining health potions that the Sahuagin may have been keeping around. The stuff tasted like seaweed and fish parts that I'd rather not think about, but it healed us up most of the way to full ...
