Belated Ranma Poll Response August2025

Three days (well, okay, two full days but still) after I had hoped to close this poll down.  Sorrow.  But Bhaalson Remodel is done, formatted, name-changed, and off to the editor. 

I will have to get this work out every day to Hiryo (SORRY) in order for him to look it over if Journey wins, but I think I can get at least half the chapter I wanted out?  We will see.  I can cut down on the travel-type shenanigans if… but I am ge...

Death's Avenger Pics

Figured I would post this. Tyrande and Jaina images I will be using going forward/when we get there. I may also add in pics of any other ladies Harry gets involved with over the ages.

I also want to see what these image-based posts look like. Can't say I'm happy I couldn't change the size of the images after uploading them...

September2025 HP Poll

Hey guys and gals.  I have to think at least a few of you are gals, anyway… they can’t all be creations of the internet and AI... right?

*Ahem.*  Moving on.

Bhaalson Remodel is proceeding apace.  I should have it finished and off to the editor by Tuesday or Wednesday.  Thankfully that might include having it Grammarlied, as there are only a few spoken Khalid parts to the chapter, so there won’t be so many damn false posi...

HP August Poll Results

Hello all!  Death’s Avenger is finished, despite my losing Saturday-Monday due to RL.  I hopefully won’t have to deal with that next weekend or the one following, though.  We will see.  Regardless, it’s off to the editor for now. 

And it’s time to shut down the HP poll!

 

Let me just say that before the carry over effect, Magic was walking away with it.  Like, seriously, it ...

HP Poll August 2025

Yo! Here is the HP poll.  It will end on the 15th. 

The choices are:

Bhaalson Remodel – HP/Baldur’s Gate/Gamer crossover: With Harry and his small group out of position, the first to see any signs of the danger closing in on Beregost is a group of the locals, Edwin and Alora. Surviving the experience, they retreat to the town, where Imoen and Viconia are having a confrontation with Vai. Without their front line fighters, Jaheira or ...

August Patron Poll Results

Okay, folks.  It’s the 7th, which means it’s time to end the Patron only Poll for August.  In other news, I have heard back from Tomon, and while he’s willing to brainstorm, he’s not in a place where he can promise to edit things. Which means I can move the Ranma poll down on my priority list.  Given that I hope Bhaalson Remodel wins the HP poll and how long formatting that fic takes, I will be making the Ranma poll the third priority ...

Romance Can happen

Basically Tali and Ranma start to get to know one another and then goes on a Galaxy Wide Asshole Punching Tour for something to do while doing so.

Oh, and Garrus also joins them on this tour for a trip to Noveria. I'd call it a hive of crime and villainy, but there are so many such in the ME universe those words don't matter at all. And Ranma and Herb've already cleared up Omega.

Those Who take Deliveries Should Always Remember: Buyer Beware

Captured and separated by the Spectre Tela Vasir's ambush (and liberal use of gas) Ranma and Herb are forced to face their captors, each in their own inimitable fashion.

In terms of characters, while Samara was said farewell to our martial artists, Benezia is still around the edges, and we get our first introduction to Tali'Zorah nar Rayya. Or at least, Ranma does.

New Friend and Omega issues.

Or rather, helping a friend find a killer leads to destroying a criminal empire.

Ranma and Herb have, by this point, gathered a few friends to them. Two asari, Usagi and O'taku, are OCs who are going to be reoccurring characters. They interact with John Shepard and Garrus Vakarian for the first time in this arc. Amicably, too boot. The friend in question is Samara, who has hunted her daughter to Omega.

Getting to Know You, Dragon and Horse Style

This is the first Arc in Effect of a Horse and a Dragon, and will be the start of the collection of the same name.

Since this work hasn't had a collection before, I will provide a brief synopsis.

The basic premise is that Ranma, who has broken off from his old man, sort of befriended Herb prior to go on a short training journey on his own, without his father being involved. This changes Ranma in many ways, and causes Herb and Ranma's clash almost two yea...

August Patron Only Poll and a brief Announcement

Hey everyone! It’s the end of July, which means that it’s time to both bring the story choosing Ranma poll to an end, and post the August Patreon Only Poll.  I will also be posting the Ranma poll later in a few moments after you see this one. I… don’t know which one yet will have priority.  I want to reach out to Tomon and see if RL is in a better place right for him.  If not, then the Ranma story will be my third priority in August.

....Thawing the Archeologist Arc

Yeah... I got nothing. I wanted to separate the chapters from the end of the Enel war and the start of the Water 7 shittery, but this name might be a little too on the nose considering how Robin and Raffy take their relationship to the next level, and the fight with Aokiji. Still, those things deserve to be in their own arc and not overshadowed by the events on Water 7. to say nothing of Ressy.

Which Fic should replace GDWHOM in the Ranma poll?

Howdy my Ranma fans.  So as you all should have seen, I decided to put GDWHOM on hold again until my DxD muse has enough food to sustain itself.  I’m also not going to go back to FILFy in August.  Given how much family life still cramped my style even after most of my babysitting duties were taken over, and my history with that month, I feel it would be tempting Fate to come at me as if I was a matador waving a red cloth at ...

Hey all.  First, obviously, a Sitrep.  I lost most of this past weekend due to family/baby stuff. However, King of Champions is finished and off to the editors.  And can I say the Ozpin/Harry scene HAMMMEREED me.  Setting it up, the confrontation… that alone took me four days to get right!  I still don’t know if I did the confrontation justice, and I’m hoping its editor will give me a lot of feedback on that score.  Oh, and its also 37,000 words.  Seve...
