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.

Finally, the story is advancing ! Finally a real moment of intensity with stakes and even an actual dilemma that makes sense and isn't completely contrived ! Praise the Goddesses ! Sure, there are a lot of issues with this chapter as per usual but I will not lie that it actually does make the story advance and give some interesting challenges to the heroes. It is not perfect but damn does it makes the whole thing go somewhere for once.

Let's go !

This chapter feels like business as usual. BJ fucked up so she angst. BJ's motto is "I angst therefore I am" and it is getting kind of repetitive. It's always the same thing, she'll beat herself up and then she'll be fine in a matter of hours. This character is stuck in a loop and we're almost 700K words in. I'm willing to wait a long time but I don't have much hope that this character will become something else even if I'm not at the halfway point yet.

Let's go !

Firstly, happy Halloween! _{the best holiday in my personal opinion}

If you didn't catch it, Stardust got a secret unplanned Midnight update. I hadn't planned to release one this month, but realized I had most of the chapter framed out and set up, so decided to take a break from my other main project and give it some attention. November should see another chapter release if all goes well.

To B or not to B

This is the B Team.

That would make Magello the Mr T of the A Team so, yes, this works out fine.

I know, I know, I'm not supposed to use the Bat Signal for party lighting.

You remember when I used to do live drunk-writing? Like that one time, with horizon, at BABScon?

Well, horizon just asked if I'd be interested in doing another one tonight. It's short notice, and I'm going to need to run to the store and grab some booze before I can really go to town, but I think we're doing this thing.

More exciting news — this time, adjacent to Horizon words rather than about them!

Why a quintuple here ? Because I wanted to take care of all the revelations at once and they are a tons. Too much actually and so much so that it makes the story go from grounded to a ridiculous mess of conspiracy upon conspiracy upon conspiracy and coincidences upon coindences that just tries its hardest to work but honestly, the convoluted aspect of it all, despite being prepared for a while, feels forced and honestly makes the story become insanely silly. More so than usual. I'll try to

The rain is falling down on the graveyards. So many lives lost against Project Horizons, I think to mysel, blowing the smoke of my cigarette that was barely protected from the rain thanks to my hat. So many soldiers died trying to make sense of that bloated creature that is not unlike the Legate : huge, shapeless, full of wounds and angst and ultimately ends in a disappointment. I look at the grave of Duvet who died of self-induced rage, of so many people who didn't understand how taking two

So, I decided to read Project Horizons after beginning to get frustrated to discuss with people about the supposed value of a work that I didn't know anything about and needed to rely on hearsay to try to make a discussion happen. I know it might be something stupid and it is possible that I won't even go up to the end with this fiction but since I decided to do it, I figured I could share my thoughts as I read it in those blogposts nobody will read, except you Apex since you seem to enjoy my

It's time to bite the bullet! I've uploaded a new chapter that I've been working on. This has been in the backlog for months on end, waiting for me to have a few of them ready.

I certainly hope you enjoy it, and remember, leave a comment to tell me what you thought about it!

Edit: Expect new chapter tomorrow afternoon!

I'm alive! And have writing news, enough so that I need to do a State of the Author post for the first time in a while. But in the meantime, a quick heads up:

I'm about to fly to Seattle for this year's Everfree Northwest! Expect author social time, general convention shenanigans, and drunken pony Tarot readings in the evenings once the liquor starts flowing.

It's been mentioned in my State of the Horizon posts, but let's make it official: I'll have a book of short stories available at the Bronycon bookstore!

As short as Chapter 4 for Endless Horizons turned out to me, I actually spent more time editing it then the first three that I've uploaded. I wanted to amp up the action a bit then the draft I had before, especially at the part near the end. Partly for the readers benefit, but primarily to show Aella seeing and reacting to the horror of the wasteland more.

It'll still be a while on the next chapter of Endless Horizon, unfortunately. I ended up reworking chapter 11 due to a few changes to Sky's character, and how situations in the chapter will be handled because of it. So I'm in the process of writing it again ((at least much of the original draft is still useable)) Then I'll still need to go through and edit it. Maybe even have someone proof it, though my friends who've been helping have gotten super busy with life stuff so we'll see what

Since I very rarely actually take any time to read things outside of TGB stuff, I always like doing brief reviews and/or recommendations of other stories that appear in contests, particularly the EFNW contests, since they often have nice convenient word limits I can easily digest. So, that's what I'll be doing now: taking a look at some of the contest entries and giving a few thoughts on them, as well try and recommend them to anyone who might be interested. So, let's dive right in! See below

I only wanted to do a quintuple BP but then I saw that the last chapter of Book 4 was split in two parts and I didn't feel like it would be particularly interesting to simply stop at half a chapter. So I pushed on and decided to give you this massive beast of a BP and believe me, I have quite a lot of things to say and believe it or not, I actually have some praise to give on some aspects. People could believe (and I won't blame them) that I utterly despise Project Horizons on the same level
