    Mass Effect: Lost Sons

    Shameless self-promotion is shameless self-promotion. I have joined forces with three other people to write a Mass Effect fanfiction, an idea that began as a single "hey here is a random idea" on the SpaceBattles forums and then exploded from there.

    This does not (hopefully) interfere with Enemy Unknown writing.

    Deleted scene from Innocence Once Lost

    Guess what I found while going through my notes to check if I had messed a timeline when writing Enemy Unknown. A deleted scene. I had put this scene away because, well read it and you get the idea. It's one of those "We need Deus Ex Machina here" and I am not fan of those. This was supposed to be the opening to the battle.

    Writers block, DEFEATED!

    I finally got over the writers block that had been plaguing me. Today, I finally got how to write down what I want and the chapter went from 2500 words to (what is now) over 3700 words, with more to come.

    So, good news is, I will most likely finish the chapter by tomorrow and have it on my beta for checking soon :D

    Peek at rewrite of The History of Human War

    So, since BronyReynard happened to ask about this, I thought about posting some peek at the rewrite. Here is a rewritten version of Book Chapter 1 (AKA first history page). For those interested, this version is 2 753 words long, as opposed to 2 328 of the original. Most work has gone to making it easier to read and grammatical fixes. Still not perfect, but it's coming there.

Designing a flag · 7:01pm Mar 14th, 2013

So I thinking about the next project I am planning and I thought about what sort of flag would humans use? So I went on and started to work on one.

The first one is pretty simply: Party colors with Party symbols. However, I decided to scrap this because... well, it's kinda too totalitarian. Same goes for the Version 2, where I was using Earth.


So, I rethought my approach. What symbols would human nation use? Green for earth, blue for sky and black for space. So I got this, with upper black bar for space, middle blue for the sky and green lower bar for the ground they have reclaimed

However, it is kinda bland. I decided to pimp it with ideas from the old desing:

And finally, alternative version where Earth is replaced with the current planet:

Red probably isn't the best color.
It also could use a bit less contrast...what am I doing.

Still tweaking it around, those I should note that red/yellow are The Party colors are pretty common among humanity. Still, you are right in that contrast is little but too high.

Flag must be simple, yet distinguishable. It also should not have small details, as they are hard to notice from big distance. So, the pure three-colour is the best here.

There are plenty of real life flags with way too much details in. Still, as long as the basic design (In this case, black-blue-green) is recognizable and unique, little details do not matter.

Though I am thinking of using three-bar flag as civilian flag and the last flag as state flag.
