Thank you all for being here this year (and the one before), your existence has been and continues to be a literal gift (legally and contractually, this isn't just me being a sap).
The Unified Theorem - Chapter II.2 (24)
With this, the plot is set for the second book. I have a feeling you all will find this plotline more interesting than the first one. Probably the new additions to the cast too.================================Chapter 24 (II.2): Recruiting Aviators in Three Easy Steps“-. Falstad Wildhammer .-“It was the year 220 after the War of the Three Hammers, which meant the Wildhammer Clan would be holdin...

Progress Update
Won't be able to do any extra fourth story this month after all, unfortunately. As for Unified Theorem, you can thank interminable power outages for why it's taking so long. Between starting this post and finally publishing it, power went out three different times. The update will still be done, so the full set of three will be properly finished for the month, but not for another little wh...
Bylaws of Babel - Chapter 4
A surprising upset that nobody (including myself) saw coming.====================================================Chapter 4 – Atra-Hasis Envies Your Easy Service“-. Hrami .-“The trees spoke to him.They told him of people approaching, too few to be the bulk of the clans, too many to risk ignoring.

King Arthur is French fanfic.Change my mind.===============================Chapter 12: This Is Not the Master You’re Looking For“-. March 4, 1995 .-““How the hell did we win?”Coming from who might just be the smartest man in the world, that question struck everyone quite hard.“No, seriously, how?” Charlie Gordon demanded as he waved angrily at Harry’s memory of Washington being era...
The Unified Theorem - Ending, Book One
Chapter 22, with which the first volume of the story ends. No, the story won't be going on hiatus.===========================Ending – Book One: Politics of Arcane Rationale“-.

Query on Potentially Hopeless Endeavour Avoidance
Much more time ago than I thought it would ultimately take to finish the story, I put up a poll for what story to do after Understanding Does Not Presage Peace was completed. I put up some polls, one here, one elsewhere on the net where I get the best reader engagement. Long story short, the final result was that I would pick up Sons of Suns and Sands, my Star Wars story where Luke resets the gala...
Understanding Does Not Presage Peace - Epilogue
This is it everyone, the final installment of this story. I hope it ties up the last loose ends well enough.To those of you who enjoyed it, I'm glad. To those who feel the tale is unpolished or missing pieces in places, I apologize and hope what ishere at least passed muster with you. To those who didn't like it but are here nonetheless, my sincerest appreciation for your forbearance.Final...
Everything Everywhere One Thing at a Time - Chapter 11
How much of the prior story was foreshadowing for this, do you think?For answers to all questions, watch Stargate Continuum.======================Chapter 11: Dreaming the Bad Death“-. Henry Evan Lorne, Major, US Air Force .-“July 2 of the year 2008 unfolded like a dream. Drills, physical training, range time – P90 record was holding steady but the MP5A3 was playing a bit hard – then it was...

It wasn't a mistake, but alas...=========================Chapter 21 - Martyrdom Makes Sacrifices of All“-. Alonsus Faol .-“Hagall saved his life.“Astonishing.”A ‘lesser’ stave Wayland called it, but the symbol Alonsus had etched on his own breastbone still managed to ward off that first wave of destruction, and had defended him from all other direct magical harm ever since.“Even ...
Bylaws of Babel - Chapter 2
Alternate POV chapters won't be the norm for this story, but I don't want to use cardboard cutouts for characters, never mind introduce too many OCs. Nimrod is in this either way.EDIT: I've modified the last POV to one Prince Elliriad, since apparently Teclis is much, MUCH younger than I thought and he hasn't been born yet.==============================================Chapter 2: It...

Everything, Everywhere, One Thing at a Time - The Story so Far
So people don't need to go on other platform to look for this, I'm uploading a file with the story so far (Chapters 0-9). I've added some images that I put up in other places, to touch it up. No claim on those, except the last one. AI art isn't perfect, but it's not terrible either when you know a bit of photo editing yourself.
Understanding Does Not Presage Peace - Chapter 23
I expect either two or three more chapters after this one, and then we're done.Thanks to everyone who supported me, and especially to those of you who are sticking around all the way to the end, even though the main plot is more or less played out now. This story would have remained unfinished without you.The attached PDF version has the full Bingo Book entry, photo and all.===================...
