Re: Hull 721, plot arc the second
ECR, your stories have been the only reason I've come back here for quite a while. In fact, Arc 1 was the reason I got an account! I need to catch up on Phantis, though. And I hadn't reread this story in a while, so I had to read the last two or three entries to remind myself what was happening - st...

Re: Hull 721, plot arc the second
I don't know about the balance being impossible to maintain elsewhere - I mean, Kyle Katarn uses both the dark and the light, after Falling and clawing his way back up. It might be more difficult , but Katarn successfully taught others how to let the Light guide them and tame the Dark. Sure he had a...

Re: Hull 721, plot arc the second
Ah! Remembered what I wanted to say. Earlier Jedi traditions, before the Ruusann reformation, seem to have had a healthy relationship with the Light, not attempting to cut themselves off from all feeling, from living , as is the problem with the Late Republic Jedi. If Lennart could find info on them...

Re: Hull 721, plot arc the second
I had something I wanted to say after the last part, but read it too late, it would have been a minor necro, so I didn't say it. Now do you think I can remember it? Should've written it down... Still loving this story! Maayyybe try and get it published as official, now that the rules have changed? O...

Yes! Update! Ah, that sucks about the accused-of-misogyny thing. And I can sorta see where they're coming from, but again, context - the Imperial Military is not a gender-equal one. It is something to think about for the future, but... I don't think this story reflects whether you are misogynistic o...

Definitely still reading! Just often find it some time after it's been posted, and don't want to necro. Black Prince has still got it! And yeah, in all of that decreasing blind spots it makes sense that the alpha arc suffered a bit - didn't think of that, just blithely assumed that it would be stayi...

Re: THE OotS Thread, Part IV.
I think this is supposed to give Belkar reason to be suspicious rather than just hateful and annoyed at the hypocrisy, the rest of the Order reason to disregard Belkar's rantings even later when he has more evidence, and Durkula reason to start thinking about how to "eliminate" Belkar. So,...

Gunship Diplomacy [The Mandate, Oneshot]
So back when the Kickstarter for The Mandate was on, I banged out a little script-format tiny fanfic drabble while I was supposed to be getting my place ready for RPG night. It saw a couple of revisions soon after, often late at night - and then I found it about an hour ago and decided to post it, j...

Re: THE OotS Thread, Part IV.
Yeah, after all, Clerics generally have pretty awesome Willpower, and one of the first things we learned about Durkon is how much he hates the undead. He might have more than the average chance to break the chains holding him.

Great update ECR! And am I wrong in hearing this line fragment: - the cheating bastard, he had stolen a hyperspace orbiting scanner, hadn't he? in a half-admiring tone?

I think it's less that he's scared of what's behind the gate, and more that he's scared about the gate's automated defenses frying Agatha (whom he still needs, after all). What's behind the gate may be tremendously nasty, but that doesn't matter if Agatha and co. don't survive because they don't kno...

On Wednesday's strip in the last frame, does anyone else see the "stalk" of a speech bubble, without any actual bubble at the end? Goes from Martellus down and to the right, partially covering "Seffie"'s muff (...the handwarmer, you sickos)?

Plus, there's obviously at least some not only accuracy, but also timing, issues in canon - Part of the Thrawn Trilogy, some of the oldest EU books out there, have Thrawn managing to get some ships in exactly the right place, at exactly the right time.

But seriously, thanks for the info. Now I won't be hoping for Sokka the entire time, and if they pop a Spirit!Sokka on me, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
