The next chapter of Understanding will be delayed by a little bit. I've had construction work, extended guests, cross-mountain hiking for the sake of preventing the mayor's office from stealing our land, and day-long power outages all in the last week. I still intend to have it out by week's end, and I don't foresee any delays for the other two ...
2024-07-02 10:41:42 +0000 UTC View PostThanks to everyone who voted! This is chapter 8 in my Harry Potter/Stargate multicrossover story, which will now be updated monthly.
The story so far can be read in full on Fanfiction.net and 2024-06-22 22:26:34 +0000 UTC View Post
The plot hits with a girl. Repeatedly.
Also, demon scab.

2024-06-12 13:12:31 +0000 UTC View PostI had a little time free, so I dug up the old Halo quest and edited it for third-person perspective, and more faithful characterization. This is essentially what I was able to keep mostly as is. Since it can probably still be found on the net somewhere, I can't in good faith paywall this introductory part. I'm posting it so that the guys on the ...

2024-06-02 09:19:44 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 21 for 'Understanding Does Not Presage Peace' is ready, but I'm going to leave it overnight to sleep on it, in case I get a sudden brainwave or realize I did or overlooked something stupid. Believe it or not, it happens almost every time.
In the meantime, this is something I wrote in a couple of rapid-fire bursts last month, while ...
2024-06-01 13:38:40 +0000 UTC View PostOk, it's been a full week for the poll to simmer and there have been no more votes for two or three days, the results are pretty much set. To my utter surprise, it was a perfect tie between 'Everything, Everywhere one thing at a Time" and "The Strategy of Godly Surviving" while "Truth and Reconciliation" got a clear but distant third.

2024-05-28 19:55:21 +0000 UTC View PostAfter some deep thought, I have decided that I will be dropping Reset the Universe. It's become a chore to write it, and each update feels like a mistake. Also, almost no one is reading it anyway, and I think it's obvious to everyone why - the story has a bunch of unfixable problems.
The MCU has nothing story-worthy happening in this time ...
2024-05-24 05:51:46 +0000 UTC View Post'Understanding Does Not Presage Peace' will be ending soonest out of all my stories, at this rate of updates, so it's time to decide what to slot in its place when the time comes. As most of you know, I have plenty of stories just waiting for me to get back to them. And as many of you also doubtlessly suspect, I have plot bunnies for new ones a...

Please let me know in the comments if this made any difference. If not, the only alternati...
2024-05-21 21:02:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe climax of the volume begins.
It'll take several good chapters though.
Let's see if I can make the payoff worth the wait.
2024-05-13 09:58:28 +0000 UTC View PostI'm sure most of you saw this coming.
Also, I was taken in by the 'd'aaaw' stratagem, unfortunately. Apparently, while other animals might take shelter in their dens, wombats don't actually actively rescue other animals during fires, so I corrected that bit in Chapter 19.
Yay for the 'mercy is exclusively human with very few isolate...
2024-05-01 10:46:34 +0000 UTC View PostJust something I sketched out in a couple of afternoons, while taking a break. A random idea about what Hanzo, the protagonists of Understanding Does Not Presage Peace, might stumble over while roaming the dimensions in search of anti-slider countermeasures.

Let's see how many people recognize the last guy that shows up.
I’ve decided that it’s late enough in the timeline that some characters would, in fact, be already born, especially with Emma Frost already a teenager. I’ve thus decided that Rogue does, in fact, already exist (she’s 10).
