Second one-shot in the same vein as the first, but this time, instead of Dread Emperor Irritant, we have Dread Emperor Traitorous taking the body of Emperor Palpatine.
As a result, the conversation for a certain Jedi aboard the Death Star II isn't exactly the one he had prepared for...
Enjoy!

Two updated maps this morning.
The first is the updated map of the Nyx Sector, without the Megara-Nyx connection which doesn't exist.
The second is a world map in 1917 of the In this country it is good to shoot an admiral from time to time that I post exclusively on the 'before 1900' of alternate history.
On other news, I have nearly finished the chapter of Let the Galaxy Burn I've been working upon. Harry Potter-verse will come next on the schedule, before I hope the Weaver...

Someone wanted a full updated map of all the sub-Sectors together. So here it is, all the systems of the Nyx Sector under the aegis of Her Celestial Highness the Basileia.
2020-10-16 18:32:51 +0000 UTC View Post
And the last map of a Nyx Sub-Sector for now, where apart from the minor arrival of a Space Marine Chapter, nothing very interesting has happened...

The updated map of this Sector, now that the Administratum has properly recorded the arrival of the Heracles Wardens and other shenanigans.
I've finally decided that this week, I will work on the Interlude of Let the Galaxy Burn which has been placed on the backburner for too long. Hopefully I should be able to propose a nice update within a week.

The Moros Sub-Sector, where the story truly began. The changes are far smaller than in the Smilodon Sub-Sector or at Nyx, though with Taylor due to come by for a visit at Wuhan, it might easily change in the future...

This is part of the planification Taylor and Dragon have in mind for the Sub-Sector right after her return from Pavia.

2020-10-09 09:33:01 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, the work was sent to the betas and properly received, so here is the pre-beta final version of Ovation 9.1 with some plot twists I think no one has seen coming.
Happy hours of reading and all this cheerfulness since while the chapter is smaller than the two Interludes before it, it's still 40 000 words. I will try to keep the next Ovation posts around that size, but you know what they say about hell and good intentions...
Ah well. Hope it will satisfy the eager minds of the ...
2020-10-08 08:16:03 +0000 UTC View Post
Nothing really in common with the previous map, just something I worked upon yesterday: an (incomplete) map of Nyx Tertius, where Taylor reigns.
I will certainly modify it in due time thorough Ovation, but at least there's a foundation to build upon.
2020-10-08 06:52:10 +0000 UTC View Post
There have been a few changes to the worlds of this Sub-Sector, at least where their administrative status is concerned. The situation on the ground may be a bit different on the ground until Her Celestial Highness can properly rectify these problems.
And beware something big (40 000 words) is coming...
2020-10-07 18:34:55 +0000 UTC View PostHere is the new update. I won't say it is a teaser, because it's 19000 words-long, and that's a bit big for a teaser.
While I am unsure when exactly I will finish the chapter, it should be less than one week away now.
Enjoy!

I promised more maps, so here's one before this rainy month of September ends.
The capital of the Quadrant is in violet, Nyx is in red. The Sectors in gold are dominated by the Ecclesiarchy (a Cardinal is the Sector Lord/Lady), the Secotrs in pale blue are theoretically independant, but in practise they're financially vassals of Samarkand. The green lines are the connections to outside the Quadrant.
Otherwise, I have reached 20 000 words in Ovation 9.1, I should need another week ...
2020-09-29 15:13:34 +0000 UTC View PostNow that I have ran over the hills a trail of 18.8 kilometres (because covid isn't the end of things, and Nurgle musn't be able to win), watched Julien Alaphilippe won the World Championship of Cycling, I'm in a good mood.
So you can have your weekly teaser of 6500 words. These are the last three POVs which are unfolding at Pavia, as you will quickly realise.
Courage and Honour!
2020-09-27 16:17:29 +0000 UTC View PostWith all the Interludes updated, I will publish the long list of objectives and if they were successful or not on alternate history, though I will publish it here first.
There were a few changes, now that you know where several artefacts disappeared to.
I will begin my writing on Ovation 9.1 tomorrow. It's time to return to Nyx...

A possible map of the Suebi Sub-Sector while Taylor was busy proving some animation at Commorragh.
Posted here because Arc 9 absolutely won't involve any of these planets, I swear it on the feathers of Tzeentch.
This will be probably one of the first maps of many before year's end, since the Nyx Sector is experiencing many, many changes of status for its planets.
2020-09-22 16:28:21 +0000 UTC View PostThere will be a few more re-reading and correction tomorrow, but I think the overwhelming majority of this titanic work has been done.
Enjoy!
2020-09-20 21:33:28 +0000 UTC View PostThis time it's the beta-ed version of the chapter 74 of The odds were never in my favour, which will posted later this week-end. One of my betas has sent be back his feedback on a certain interlude, so I'm working on this for now.
2020-09-18 10:42:12 +0000 UTC View PostThis is Chapter 14 of the End of Times, the Anvil and the Warhammer, that I've just finished writing today. Enjoy!

2020-09-01 07:17:55 +0000 UTC View PostThe beta-ed chapter 73 of The odds were never in my favour is now ready. It will be posted before the end of the week. Things also progress up-to-date on the Weaver Option...but I will once again be unable to deliver an update with less than 50 000 words.
Continue to read everyone!
2020-08-27 18:32:37 +0000 UTC View PostOkay I'm back. The fever has finally stopped tormenting me, as have the various muscle pains, the lack of ability to eat anything solid, the various headaches, the exhaustion and what's more.

2020-08-24 16:28:54 +0000 UTC View PostIt pains me to amend the words I posted yesterday, but it's possible the next updates won't respect the time schedule I gave.
This is because in an invisible plan I didn't see coming, Nurgle has managed to contaminate me with his swamp fever, and I'm sutck with a body temperature of 38.3 Celsius, making writing impossible as long as this state of affairs continue.
Stories and updates will resume as soon as I'm getting better, obviously.
2020-08-20 06:41:41 +0000 UTC View PostWe should be roughly one week away from the end of completing this chapter...I think.
So it is time for an update. Unlike other versions, there's not the part before to ensure those who have read the other part don't waste several minutes going to the point where the new content is introduced.
This time, note that I don't use the word teaser, for reasons which will be rapidly obvious.
Until next time...
2020-08-19 07:57:05 +0000 UTC View PostSo it was promised, and so it has come. The first teaser of Interlude 2, Victory Councils, is here!
Obviously with 10 POVs and 10 000+ words, it is...a big teaser. And to say it's only 20% of the POVs I want to write...(sigh as he knows deep inside this Interlude is going to be another monstrous wall of text bigger than some novels).
What's more to say? Ah yes. WAAAGH!
