Still working on the glossary and diagrams. It turned out to be a much bigger job than I'd anticipated, what with having to get the 3D model into much better shape than the "noodling around" stage it's been in for years. The ability to produce illustrations specific to fantasy/steampunkish airship equipment will be worth it, I think. I might as well include other terms pertinent to the story, such as phylactery, taewidha, interstitial vortex, and thaumochromatic detonation

I’m trying to spin a fun little air-pirate fantasy here, and on the day the chapter where my characters have a little “debate” about swordplay releases, some lunatic with a katana goes on a murderous rampage in London. In order to keep the comment section of the chapter (mostly) free of things unrelated to pretty pastel ponies, I'm directing people to this post, where they can discuss, debate, or just plain rage if they want.

Captain Blackmane visits Surprise, and finds her very familiar.

(Nebula's plan, despite lacking a foremast, is very close to Surprise's.)

Clumsily translated from German, it's "farsickness," which is homesickness for a place you've never been to.

Dredged up my old, never-finished model of Nebula to get some details/blocking of a scene correct, and... Yeah. Fernweh.

Some of the more perceptive among you may have come to suspect that I have a thing for pirates. So, you may not be surprised to learn that I am awash in all the latest hot pirate gossip. Well, there is breaking news in the world of seafaring wealth-redistribution that has got everyone's eyepatches a-flutter!

Yes, I've changed the title of my current story a bit. While doing (yet another) editing pass, I realized that my impulse to avoid a bit of a clumsy word-choice was just flat-out wrong, so I've made a little mid-course correction. My deepest apologies to anyone having to say this new, more sibilant title out loud.
