Bound by Blood Retrospective

With another Blueblood Papers story completed comes another retrospective. I'd like to start by stating that I think Royal Blood, the one that came before it, is the best story that I've written in this series, and after finishing Bound By Blood and looking back on this latest story, I still think that. That's not to say that I'm unhappy with how Bound By Blood came out, of course, but

A Map and Some Lore

Maps are great. As a kid I used to spend hours pouring over my parents' atlas, even though it was a little out of date and still had the Soviet Union on it. It was, however, the 1990s, and the collapse of the USSR had only been a few years ago, so I suppose they could be forgiven for that.

Ten Years of The Blueblood Papers and AMA

Well, not quite. As it happened, I've missed the exact date by a few days, as Blueblood: Hero of Equestria was published on the 8th of October 2012, but we'll quietly ignore that from now on.

And yes, I know I said I'd call it 'Captive Blood' earlier, but 'Bound By Blood' has extra alliterative appeal. I do hope you enjoy it. The usual monthly updates will proceed as normal from here on (hopefully).

Short chapters vs long chapers · 6:01pm May 19th, 2014

As I grapple with a bout of writers' block (for some reason I've just lost the ability to write sentences. I know what I want to convey, just now how to do it. It's bloody annoying), I thought I'd just run a quick survey.

Who would prefer shorter chapters updated more frequently (6,000-7,000 words or so every few weeks), or longer chapters updated less frequently (10,000+ words every one or two months)?

i'm in favor of short chapters, then don't have to wait as long for an update

Shorter chapters are fine by me as long as they're split up logically. 6000 word chapters are medium-long by most stories' standards.

I much prefer shorter chapters, mostly because more frequent updates, but its also easier to catch up on where you are by reading the previous chapter when a new one updates.
