That's right folks, another double edition just for your pretty eyes and believe me, I have a lot to talk about these two chapters and I am quite... saddened. Saddened because, with chapter 22, I was hoping for Project Horizons to go towards something better than the "going around in circles" we had for the first 20 chapters. However, destiny decided otherwise since, well, more info were given to us. I'll try to explain why those are an issue at a fundamental level too.

Let's go !

Chapter 7 is the very definition of "Beware of what you wish for". I wanted to see BlackJack react to her first kill, I admit it but the way it was delivered in this chapter is abysmal. Self-pity during the whole chapter that gives me flashback to LittlePip and an aggravating trope of self-pity fueling anger so much that it intimidates people... By god, it's contrived.

Let us elaborate.

What was that chapter ? I am completely struck by the sheer inconsistency of tone, character development, a visible video game influence in how the structure of the story is made and I cannot for the love of me try to make sense of the memory orb in this very chapter and ergo of all the fiction but to adress all these issues, I have to elaborate a bit so let us start.

Let's go.

This couple of chapters are... interesting to say the least. Interesting in the sense that, while I do not mind chapter 43 despite its dispensable nature, I absolutely am baffled by 44. The former gives an interesting look into the mind of Somber and Blackjack in the sense that it allows for me to make sure that he is aware of what people says about his hero (even if I regret that this chapter will ultimately lead nowhere). The latter however feels like... a X.5 chapter, in the sense that it

Title: The Chronicle of Relic Soundtrack

Here's a link if you would like to listen.

Genre: EDM / House / Future House / Future Bass

WARNING: Spoilers in the song titles.

I felt like making a double blogpost today and seeing how my issue with those chapters are quite similar and if I didn't adress them in one bulk, I'd feel like I would repeat myself uselessly. Again, PH had the possibility to be really interesting and poignant but... it does a lot of bad. It tries so hard to make BJ invincible that no matter how much pain, wounds and even death sentences she has on her ass, it still seems like its only cosmetic. A pretty dress of pain and angst to make her

Well, after putting on a massive push over the past week to get Feathered Hearts launched and then refreshing my browser about every thirty seconds for three days straight to look for new likes and comments, it's time to let that simmer for a bit while I head back over to work on Midnight Rising. But before I do, I did want to welcome and thank all new readers of the story for dropping likes and comments, and give a shout-out to the dozens of new watchers who came to me from the

I find myself in a strange situation where I have read two chapters but I don't think I have anything of substance to say because they almost solely were action-based. So let me change the format for this double BP and let us talk about a couple of things : "Why do PH fights bore me ?", "Why do I say that they are stakeless ?" and some little details coming from the chapters themselves in order to keep you up to speed with the recent developments.

Let's go !

Chapter 19. I never thought I would be in a position where I would have to defend FO:E on principles because of how someone use it to further their scenario. It's poetic in a way but I'm not happy about it. When you write a fiction that works at the same time than the original, you need to respect what has been said factually : you can fill the gaps but I am really against a fiction just deciding to change facts for the sake of their narrative... and it doesn't even respect its own rules too.

Hey, all. I needed to extend to release date on Talons and Fangs by a month. Pro tip here, but if you write a real book, don't wait on getting the cover art. By the time I realized I needed it now, I could only give the artist a month to work on the cover art. Close as it was, the artist I picked was awesome enough to finish with some fantastic art just about in time, but there was also no time to correct a few... important things that needed correcting. The sketch I got--while

For two reasons. First, the combined chapter keeps growing—now 21.2k words—and I’m finding it very mentally taxing to write. And second, part of the reason it’s taxing is I don’t have much mental energy to spare right now. Work is very difficult and stressful at the moment due to a Saturday deadline (that might get pushed back a week), and I’m coming home most nights frazzled and in no mood to do anything creative. Or be social online a lot of the time.

Hey folks. Thought everyone would be interested to know that I have gotten in touch with the Father of the Gentlemanverse Demon Eyes Laharl. Thanks goes to HorseWordFan for informing me that he had been active on FanFiction.net recently, posting and updating his first new story there since 2018

What is this ?! Two blogposts in a row ! Is it Christmas yet or did I just need to keep up with my laziness ? Nobody will ever know. This chapter is... something alright. Let's say that it was mostly fun but I really think the ending is one of the most conceptually botched that I have ever seen. Let's elaborate together because this is actually an interesting subject to talk about.

Let's go.

This chapter is interesting. While I have grown completely dull to the constant fights that Project Horizons have, I have to admit that, at the very least, we do continue to advance the story in meaningful ways and it is something that I need to point out as a big positive. No more meandering jog on a threadmill for now it seems. As for P-21 suicide attempt, I have conflicted feelings about it but I'll try to vocalize them.

Let's go !

I am embarrassed to talk about this chapter. Not because it is worse than the others but because Somber simply went too far with his reference. There's winking at the camera and there's throwing a satellite into it. This chapter is mostly empty since it is mainly a battle and nothing really happens in it. There are such things as too much senseless fighting.

Let's go !

...to enter the contest to name Sunset and SciTwi's baby. For those who missed it, the details can be found here.

Due to the incredible suggestions I've received so far, I decided to do a drawing for the name. The drawing will be made in a video next Saturday night which will be posted to YouTube (and embedded on next Sunday's blog post).

This chapter is both interesting and unfortunately suffers from the continuity of the audio recordings that we have been made to listen to which I think I need to adress in details now. As for the rest, I honestly think the fight against the hydra could have been better, it was less cool than the combat against the dragon but then again, I think Somber is starting to slowly run out of giant monsters because while it was grandiloquent, I just didn't feel any rush. Mainly because there was no way

How can I call this kind of chapter where I am both happy to have been right regarding the obvious abuse that this telekinetic bullet was going to have and sad that the Enclave are now back to essentially be sky nazis like they were in Fallout:Equestria ? This chapter isn't really one that stands out, it's a "business as usual" kind of chapter where our precious Blackjack is able to see the Enclave for the true scum they are unlike Glory and where she... well, more on the rest in a moment.

Chapter 8 is quite the fun chapter and it even tried to prove me wrong about my previous claims that BJ would try to change herself only in the long run. It was nice to see an active decision on her part to try and make her trauma have a purpose. Let's try to keep up this effort and let me give praise where it is due.

Let's go.
