    Next chapter delayed a bit

    Hey all.

    Field season really kicked into gear in early April, so I've been getting home exhausted pretty much every day. That and a bout of creative block means the next chapter of Phoenix-born is probably not going to be out until mid-May at the earliest.

    Hazbin Hotel Episode 1 - I'm not sure I'm going to keep watching.

    So, after however many years, we finally get Hazbin Hotel. I've been waiting for it to come out since I saw the pilot. When the first episode dropped, I watched it before checking out any reviews or commentary, because I wanted to go in without any preconceptions clouding my view of the series.

    And honestly, I'm not sure I'm going to keep watching.

    Working on the next chapter, and realizing something I wish I could do.

    So, as I've written more of Rising, I've come to realize that there's something I wish I could do with the formatting. Namely, I wish I could have two columns of text, one that would represent the main narrative from Sunset's external perspective, and one that could be used for when Sunset and Philomena are sending, or when Philomena is sharing her perspective. I don't know how easy something

    Favorite Super Robot attacks

    Because I'm going through anime withdrawal due to having my internet via wi-fi hotspot and therefore must ration my data usage, and don't have access to my disk collection, here's a bunch of my favorite attack names from Super Robot anime, and the series they come from. This is by no means a complete list of all the attack names I like, but they're some of my favorites.

    Nightcrawler

    The current leader of the Cult of Endless Decay, Nightcrawler is an atrocity (the Chaos equivalent to an ascendant) created by D’compose in the waning days of the Skellweb Crisis. With his master's capture and Black Thorn’s death, Nightcrawler became the de facto leader of the cult. Even now, he works against Solaria in an effort to both free his master, and defeat the hated phoenix-born.

I am… floored · 1:55am Oct 14th, 2019

Good evening everyone.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who's favorited, commented and/or just given me a thumbs up on my latest story. I am… honestly floored by the response to Phoenix-born rising. I had hoped that it would be well received, but I never expected this level of response. I'm honestly… really moved.

I hope that whatever comes next for this world lives up to this first chapter. Fair warning, Phoenix-born rising is only going to be 2 chapters long to stay within the contest rules for Imposing Sovereigns II. But, with how much love this has gotten, I'll be coming back to Sunset and Philomena's story. And the rest of their world. I just need to figure out where I want to take it.

Also, there is another side to this world: that of Selenia and Luna's people. That's where Twilight lives, and there are stories to tell there too. Maybe next I'll do something for the Selenian side of things.

So, thank you to everyone who gave Phoenix-born rising a chance. I will try to make what comes next as good or better.

Well it is a very well written story that made the front page in the featured box that got a normally sci-fi centered junkie like me invested in to its fantasy setting.

so I just read the whole contest page, and I have to honestly say I don't get it at all. I do have a question though. Can you add more to this story AFTER the contest is done?

Well, Phoenix-born rising is my entry to the contest, and deals with Sunset's ascension and the political ramifications of it. But, nothing says that I can't write sequels. I've had the idea for this world rattling around in my head for a little while, and when FoME's contest came up, it was a good excuse to take a shot at putting it on paper.

Without spoiling too much, I'm thinking of doing a companion piece to Phoenix-born rising that examines Luna's night-weavers, with a focus on Twilight.

I see! Well I look forward to seeing what you do with this world! I esp look forward to seeing what adventures and such Sunset gets up to! I also suspect the woman who invited Sunset to sit was Celestia, I further suspect she KNEW Sunset would be chosen LOL
