Any chance of you returning to continue Cosmic Clash? I was looking for some good Jack Spice fanfic or quests and found your work. It was a fantastic read with the latest twist in the final chapter being particularly entertaining.
Any chance of you resuming your fic "A cup in hand hides the sword in the sleeve"? I just finished a re-read and was reminded how much I enjoyed the unique premise, developed world-building, and high-quality writing.
What was the point of this demonstration? Paul should know that he can’t bluff that the controlling process is beneficial to the host or kills them when they have past hosts who can contradict him. The existence of such a host was quite directly a subject of the prior chapter when he offered to...
It seems like minor Demons like Blarg could actually be extremely valuable (to their summoners if not the wider society) as a replacement for the basic labor that requires human intelligence and communication but not much else. I am imagining major corporations replacing their customer service...
It was actually a pretty unlikely chain of events that gave Cortez the opportunity to throw the Aztec Empire into chaos and then use native forces (enemy powers and rebellious tributary city-states) to takeover. There wasn't any unified plan from Spain as Cortez had quite literarily mutinied...
I recall a speech at the end where the Barbies specifically reject the Mattel CEO's offer to return things back to the way they were before the start and "re-establish the misandrist state". It was delivered by the President Barbie as the final scene in Barbieland right before the introduction...
I thought of it as more of a mutual exploration of identity that ultimately ended in them both recognizing that things needed to change and going in different directions than a straightforward conflict of Good vs Evil.
Food production was actually a pretty major component of imperialism in the real-world albeit with a bit more nuanced system of exploitation than just demands for tribute. This is the origin of the term "Banana Republic". Fruit and chocolate production were both particularly significant examples...
There are some interesting fictional depictions of moral societies and species that practice cannibalism. The Night People in Larry Niven's Ringworld series are a classic example.
The depiction of Aztec cannibalism is largely exaggerated. There is some evidence that it was a part of their religious rituals but the idea that it was performed on a systemic base or formed a meaningful part of their diet is a complete fabrication.
Can you share some worldbuilding on this multiversal setting and the various Succubi House empires? Do the Succubi invade alternate worlds full of their own native civilizations or are they just setting up outposts on empty planets? Are there any non-succubae forces that pose a serious threat to...
It could also be the result of a deliberate grand strategy meant to prevent any single world from resisting the rest of the Reach. This would make sense if they are more concerned about internal rebellion than an outside attack
The wiki also says that the re-coding process is taking place before the infected have been activated by a signal from the Tyranid Hive Mind. The infection was detected as a result of routine genetic screenings and not as a result of obvious mutations. This means the psychic sensory organs that...
What is so hard to believe about the Tau having significantly greater scientific accomplishments than the Adeptus Mechanicus? I believe we see this in many cases for their weapons and transport technology. The Tau would also have a major advantage in understanding the Tyrannids as their...
Are you ever planning on publishing "Jungles of Alabama" on Amazon? I noticed that it was now marked as finished on Subscribe Star. I would be interested in purchasing it as a full book and I imagine quite a few people on this site would feel the same.
I don't know the exact details as this was apparently some ancient plot thread that they resurrected in order to have a (admittedly quite excellent) story of Gambit and Kid! Oro adventuring as mutant Robin Hoods. The story takes place far before the transition to Krakoa or any of the recent...
