Right...I'm sorta running low on laptop batteries atm so I'll just make this quick and easy....

"So, Ogres, dwarves, red-eyed lycanthrope, fog, magic-stuff, etc., wererats... Well, there seem to be a few peculiar groups who seem to be simply beyond mortal comprehension and resistance. Like, if Gielinor had no magic at all, everyone'd be toast (sort of)."

Well....that's pretty much the point of including them in this. It's one thing to have an End of Days scenario where the only people fighting against it are just a bunch of regular guys in armor. But it takes on a whole new level of "we're done for" when even the most powerful creatures in the world are making plans to fight against the inevitable :P

Concerning character names: I'm starting to think it's just a personal issue at this point. Because a few hours back I was reading another story and had trouble keeping who's who straight too, and the cast was limited to about 5 characters in the spotlight, if that O_o

But I do recognize some of the more...errr..."exotic" names are harder to keep track of thanks to being different and thrown in with a bigger cast all around. That's something I plan on ironing out over the coming chapters once things start hitting the fan.

Concerning the fan service/action comment: I realize the action-oriented scenes could be improved on. A lot (at least as far as making the "descriptions" exciting goes). Let's just say that English isn't my first language and leave it at that since I'm still learning new stuff about it everyday...

<Continued from last post>
But when I made that comment to you about fan service characters, I was referring to parts in the story where mainstream RS characters made a short cameo and had maybe a line or two of background dialogue before disappearing for the rest of the story.

Not that there's anything wrong with the concept, I just only mentioned it because at that time I already went through 2 of your other stories where that happened and wondered if you even knew it was happening :P

Though all in all I'd say the stuff you mentioned was valid criticism. I know you're certainly not the first one to mention similar things to me recently. x_x

"Not to sound, say, overly glorifying, but your two stories have a lot more memorable creativity than what JAGEX can muster up in their own projects and even from what Church (or whoever that guy who published the RS novels is) can create."

I haven't read any of the RS novels, so I wouldn't know how this stacks up against them. But thanks for the ego boost anyway :)

You're welcome, and I just discovered a few things now. English is also my second language (I think I mentioned this before) so I know how it feels, back in the early days of 2004-7 quite a few people posted bashing to insult my intelligence (none of them are around here anymore), and even today I sometimes use a strange choice of words to describe a scene or when I type an essay for college/university.

I also have not read any RS novel from beginning to end either *crowd gasps* but the novels feel more like a product than a story. Of course, Church will undoubtably prove me wrong sooner or later.

Well, that's all for now anyways. Happy times.

Right. Was supposed to update this today, but a) work got in the way and pushed it back a bit, and b) my file with the chapter i wrote decided to not like me and refuse to open while I work on getting my office suite up to date >.>

So ETA now is...I really want to say a week or two but knowing my luck something's gonna ***** me over at the last minute. So whenever sounds reasonable right about now *_x

*kicks up*

Update ETA: If all goes well despite more employment relocation, the next week or so should see the damn thing finally go up.

Sorry for the (massive) delay folks, life seems to really like messing with me at this point. Once things settle down and I get the latest addition up it should be smooth sailing from here on out barring anything major.

^Yeah, things are sort of settling down (almost) at this point. Truth be told, if it wasn't for working 3 part time jobs right now, the damn chapter would've been finished already and the second half of the story might've been at least on its second or third chapter >.<

Though the writing break is nice every now and then ^.^

Right. Last update ETA since this time, I'm nearly done with the freaking chapter. Im literally one scene away from finishing it, and this time there's not a whole lot standing between me and my laptop :o

Either sometime later this week or early next week. Sorry for the very long wait, but now that the things keeping me from writing are smaller than they used to be, we should be on track for a more regular update schedule now. And just in time for the holidays o_o
