ACHNE volume 2 will have a modified-structure based on lessons learned from volume 1.
Firstly, less meandering in the "bookend" chapters. I will still highlight stuff in the background, but only as it relates directly to the plot. I still think it's kind of neat to see the background that goes into "And then they were ordered forward". I feel that there was a definite problem with too many POVs, and will definitely work down.

I'm pretty proud of the ending, to be honest.

Password is Magnificent , as always.

The next chapter will close off ACHNE V1, and then I'll focus on Night Guard. Plan is to end it before Season 5, and then use that to boost the views for ACHNE V2- release CH1 on season 5 day.

For now, I want anyone to put any unanswered questions from ACHNE here. Dangling plot threads, stuff I could clean up with the final chapter.

Pre-read for the penultimate chapter of Ballad of Wildcard.
I figured out a way to finish it without doing anything dumb, hooray!

I'm still gonna kill a shitload of people before this is all done though o3o.
Password remains Magnificent

ACHNE V1 is very close to concluding. One more chapter, and then a sort of epilogue. I'm going to be doing some kinda cliched things, but it's important for moving forward. Don't worry too much about anything that happens until you've seen the first chapter of volume 2.
The ending of ACHNE V1 is also gonna be kinda fudged since I've been stuck for two long and I'm just gonna force my way through.

that is all

I made some minor changes to the end of Silver Shield.

Entirely to spite a man on IRC.

Magnificent as usual.
I might dunk Colgate's section or otherwise modify it to not be so overtly dark, so read that as mostly notes for myself.
Dear god it's dark anyway lol.

Please see the notes attached, they are important.

I am now going to re-read Wildcard's Desk and ACHNE, and ensure that the parts fit together into a larger whole as well as possible. I expect to do a lot of editing, and have created an open google-docs that you can all contribute to if you feel like it.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/11yfxP5qd20P_dR89LuFgPUmDd66LVUAW_aDItS3u3uU/edit#heading=h.mb40c7f2mixo

Thus the last non-finale chapter has been posted. Now begins the Great Edit.
Tomorrow I will be providing a link to an open google docs through here, and directly to My Best Readers. I will add to it the problems I find, the changes I make, and anything else of note. I hope that you are willing to help with this, and can list your own problems for me to solve.

This chapter is going to be, if I'm doing this right, absolutely terrifying.

Flash Sentry and Mary Frosthorn are sent to investigate the last Night Guard research installation: Location B. Almost as soon as they breach it, they find themselves totally cut off from the outside world, and hunted in the uncaring darkness by a murderous thestral.

What they discover about him, and themselves, will destroy their very conception of reality. Only one will survive.

Sup everybody, I want to make you do some work for free.
I just want you guys, as a kind of fun experiment, to list out which "tropes" you think apply to my work, and why. I think it'll be interesting.
I bring this up because Ambadassador was brought up earlier in relation to a certain changeling...

Magnificent, as always.

After a long journey, a lot of plotting, and finding love in a way his people have never known; Wildcard is ready to do what he feels he has been destined to.
Tonight, on the fifth of November, 1002, Wildcard will put into action all his plans, and utilize all his resources, to start a civil war that he means to win, no matter the cost.
What he doesn't know, however, is somebody else has already started it...

Note: I will actually work in a reference to a place called Horsesaw eventually, somehow.

Password is: Magnificent

Into The Night is done! Hooray!
Now, I will cap off the arcs started in V1, and move onto V2 with a somewhat fresh slate. Here's a taste of what's to come. Which might change, but I feel like writing it out anyway.

HorseSaw PACT: Wildcard and Malgavian make a deal.
Inquiry: First Class leads an inquiry into just how the Night Guard situation was botched so badly, who to blame, and if any crimes were committed by those involved.
