Part of me was glad this entire 'Trapped in an MMO' thing had happened to a group of majority Japanese individuals.
Especially rather than Americans.
The reason for that is... complex, sociologically-speaking. Sword Art Online was a fairly expensive game, on top of that most people had to buy the NerveGear as well, since this was the first title for the console. What this meant, though, was that most of the people playing the game...

As promised! Here we are! This chapter officially starts the Elf War Questline and will feature the first prominent NPC of the story showing up. Kizmel, the Dark Elf Royal Guard.
I hope everyone enjoys the chapter.
I aim to get another chapter of Winning Peace out in a few days and an update for the Code Geass Quest Epilogue sometime Sunday or Monday of next week. That'll probably be the last update of the month before the new poll goes up.
In the meantime, I hope...

So, here's a confession on behalf of all the superhumans out there.
Vampires are not, in fact, all that dangerous.
Yes, I know. It's shocking and unbelievable.
But it's true.
Your average vampire is the supernatural equivalent of a cockroach to anyone with substantial powers. They're stronger, faster, and generally tougher than the upper portion of normal humanity. Wounds that would cause crippling injury or life-threatening ...

Much better! Last chapter was a little bit... meh. Not bad, but I just wasn't feeling it. This one? I got on a roll and was really making progress. Even got a little bit longer than usual to make up for the kind of weak length last time around.
Enjoy! Next chapter for EM is going to be a brief flashback to offer some more detail on the fight as the Howling Commandos clean things up and do some investigative work in the castle's lower floors. But this arc is coming to a close soon...

“Look! He's walking!” Sasha squealed happily.
“C'mon Casey, come to Daddy,” I called out, extending my hands to be ready to catch my son. The tiny human's face was a mask of concentration, if in an infantile way, as he toddled forward. One step. Then two. Then three. He gurgled happily, which was of course, when his focus failed him and he began to tumble forward, right into my hands. “A~aaand, there we go. Your first steps, Casey! So amazing!”

As promised, Ezekiel meeting Tali is in progress.
This chapter also has some more worldbuilding and a few neat (or I thought they were) worldbuilding tidbits. Hope everyone has fun with this.
Next up will be a chapter of Industrious: Engineering Marvels.
Hope everyone is having a good week.

Sam, Willow, Illyana, and I sat around the image being projected and considered the tunneling vortexes of energy coming towards our reality. The precise details of seventh, eighth, and ninth dimensional math made it difficult to visualize in the way we were doing now, but thankfully Agency tbuffs, the BatComputer, and Stargate Tech allowed us to cheat quite a bit. In particular, we could see where the Death March had impacted a much lesser planar tunnel and caused this entire mess. Relativist...

Well, that's a bit bigger than I'd planned for, but things just kind of ballooned once I got going. Had to drop a few extra hours on the project, but I think it finished out nicely.
Next chapter of Nexus Event will be Harriet's birthday bash and all that it entails. Should be a fun chapter.
We'll likely have a short timeskip after that to the Hogwarts train ride after that.
In the meantime? Another chapter of Winning Peace coming up in a few days. Not sure what el...

“Well, looks like the Citadel isn't going to declare war on us, at least,” I sighed.
“Solely due to the influence of the asari,” Thonis-Heracleion replied absently, most of their tremendous attention-span devoted to a massive matrix of wires her arachnid-like body was weaving together with its many limbs. “As it is, the Hegemony and the Union will undoubtedly take provocative action with the intent of engineering a major incident.”

Extra-long chapter this time! Woo! Next chapter of WP will have Tali, I promise. Just needed to get some politicking out of the way first.
I'll have the next update out sometime Saturday as well, likely either The Hand We're Dealt or Nexus Event. I'm feeling one of those right now.
Until then, Rock on, Stay Awesome, and Thanks Again for the Support!

“-and you're sure, Ms. Possible, that what you caught was a mannequin? It was in no way the real Adrena Lynn?” The reporter asked from off-screen, the camera-man shoving the lens as close as he could to Kim's face without inviting a lawsuit.
“Look, I think the pictures speak for themselves. A half-dozen cameras caught me holding the dummy while she was showing off after her 'fall.'” Kim smiled, holding her hands up to put some distance between them, but not ...

Here we go! Another chapter of The New Ron, dealing with the fallout of Kim saving Adrena Lynn's mannequin and revealing her deceit! It. And the fallout's not over yet, but there's enough quiet time for a quick exchange of intimacy.
Next up will be a chapter of Winning Peace and... something else. Not sure what. Mystery Box!

I slid a plate of food in front of Satsuki, another in front of Yakumo, and a final one in front of Naruko. Even if the three genin were visibly refreshed from their trip, they were obviously still hungry given the way they quickly dug into the ravioli-like treats I'd prepared for them. Tenten, still on post-mission leave herself, was sitting atop one of the thick shelves jutting out from the kitchen wall, slowly working her way through a pastry.
“So... mission went alright...

Ahhh... getting back into the swing of things was a little difficult, but I think I found a good groove to work.
Next chapter will be the long-awaited emergence of Kokoro into the real world.
Next update, though, will be The New Ron.
Looking at the end results of this month's poll... pretty much the expected. Winning Peace came in a strong first, Industrious with a strong second, and The New Ron, Where Your God Is, and Nexus Event following in pretty much that exact ...

Alright, most people should know the game by now, but for those who don't it's pretty simple. Whichever project gets the most votes, that's the one I focus on this month. The five dollar tier gets a second vote, which has swayed things more than once. Second-most votes gets the next level of attention and so on.
While the votes settle out and decide priority, I'll be working on a chapter of the OG Industrious timeline this week and a chapter of... probably The New Ron.

Okay, here's the last chapter of August! And it's a PHO-style Interlude for the world outside the SAO game! This is the first one of these that I've done in a long time, so be gentle.
There's also some heart-to-heart between Kirito and Mito, two former Beta Testers as they reminisce about the old days and old threats coming back.
I'll have the September Polls up in an hour or two after I have something to eat as well. So look forward to that shortly.

Councilor Aethyta M'Soni decided it was far past time to put her foot down.
The batarian and salarian councilors sitting opposite her had begun the meeting by bringing up a map of the new System Alliance's disclosed territorial boundaries. In and of itself, that was perfectly acceptable. Although geographical determinism might read differently on an interstellar scale than a planetary one, there were facets of the study that carried over. Specifically, the relays created bottlen...

And here it is! Next chapter of Winning Peace, as promised!
More details on Lopez's little diplomatic misadventure with the Protheans, and how things went down. Next chapter will return to Lopez's POV as the primary character and check up on more pressing issues than the largest interstellar war in recently history.
Last chapter for the month will either be OG Industrious or Where Your God Is. One of the two.

Next Winning Peace is still in progress.
But! In exchange for not finishing that chapter, I took the afternoon and went through all of my old posts and reorganized them into collections for easier reference and reading.
There are a few standalone old things that I haven't gotten around to yet, but will become available as soon as I dig those out.
Thank you again for your patience and support! I should have the next chapter up in a day or so!

“This is outrageous, Albus!” Lucius spat, throwing down the notice onto the older wizard's desk. The heavy, official parchment was lined with ribbons and wax seals, studded with the kind of artistic flourishes that made it impressive on more than just one level. “You can't seriously expect me to believe you're taking the word of children!”
Albus of-many-middle-names Dumbledore cleared his throat and skimmed over the document he'd just been 'given.' Adju...

A much-awaited chapter to discuss some consequences. I had some fun with this chapter and feel like my batteries are recharged after a stressful week. Thank you for tolerating my misadventure into one of my less popular stories.
Now back to Winning Peace! Woo!
I'll have that and a chapter of the mainline Industrious timeline.

“-A-M-P-I-R... E... S.” Nick stated, trailing off in disbelief at the end, staring through his lens at the highest tower of the castle.
“Fuck,” Victor growled, the noise rumbling through Steve and Bucky's guts even at a few feet of distance. The blonde man took a deep breath through the cigar clenched between his teeth that caused the small ember at the tip to momentarily flare. “I hate vampires.”

As promised, an update for Industrious. Decided to pay some attention to the Marvel timeline first this month. Ray's in for some interesting times in this latest life or death battle while Steve is hurrying the men along to come to the rescue.
But will they make it in time?!
Anyway, I'll be working on something else for another upload either Friday or Saturday. It will likely either be Nexus Event or Where Your God Is. The week's been a little stressful and I need one o...

Tali'Zorah relaxed on her bed, her arms behind her head as her eyes tracked the latest feed she'd subscribed to through the net. It was everything the kids at her university were talking about, given the fact that new species coming onto the galactic stage was a comparative rarity to other news. Even if the New Prothean Empire had made a habit of exploring and conquering more species over the last three hundred years or so, they tended to be pre-space flight races. The last time a species cap...

You know what this story needs? It needs quarians.
Specifically, everyone's favorite quarian!
Have a look at how humanity is changing things by just existing as the political realities of the galaxy realign themselves. Oh, and a teenage girl decides she wants to get her very own giant robot. How will her quest affect the larger galaxy and the fate of nations? Stay tuned to find out!
That said, next up is some Industrious, as promised.

Hanover, New Hampshire was what the future might generously call a 'village.' In the current period, it was a town. To put that into perspective, I would be incredibly surprised if more than a thousand people lived in the actual settlement itself. If you counted all of the surrounding homes, farmsteads, and mills, you might get another thousand people in the area. And that included the college of Dartmouth and all those who worked and lived in it as well.

Ah, that's the stuff. Having fun with this one, though I'm not sure if it'll get another chapter this month. I have more Winning Peace on the way soon, though, to make up for that.
I also plan to get some Industrious out next week, so look forward to it.
Otherwise, I hope you enjoy Henry Bell's continuing adventures in early America.

The Prime Minister Selena Orbis sighed as she stared at me.
She and I were studies in contrast. She was rather infamously professional outside of a few jokes she cracked at her political opponents' expense. Her clothing emphasized that facet of her personality with her outfit of choice being a suit that would look more at home two centuries ago, making her appear as a young woman who was somewhat out of time rather than a simpering modern politician out to court favor. Her black...
