Re: Is Outsider still an active project, or is it over?
To put a long story short: People were kind of angry that only writers from a particular company (Tor) and from a particular political leaning (Far left authoritarian) were nominated for and subsequently won Hugo awards for the past few years. So they banded together back in 2012 and created the Sad...

This might have to do a lot with the drama that is unfolding in the sci-fi world at the moment.Sweforce wrote:This forum have been silent the last few days, very few posts. I hope with can get some activity back.
My advice, stay out of it unless you can handle internet stupidity.

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror

You sir with your well written fanfic restored my faith in the Loroi universe. Thanks, I know that masochist feeling but I have only been doing so for a couple of months :P I w...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
Chapter 4, part 1 If there was one thing that they didn’t expect to see was this, an alien that looks like that. When Private Gomez hit the alien that attacked him he didn’t wait to see what it was, he immediately retaliated by grabbing it and punching it repeatedly until it was out cold. His ‘It’s...

Re: Is Outsider still an active project, or is it over?
I swear, if this is a pre planned April fool's joke I will rage clap. Arioch hasn't been on since the 27th of March and I am beginning to worry a little.

Re: Is Outsider still an active project, or is it over?
I am torn here... On one hand I worry that Arioch may take posting the comic too seriously. On the other I look at the calendar and I wonder if the next page will be posted tomorrow along with an update by Arioch's gf about Arioch's mental breakdown in order to finish the page and how he has to cut ...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
I have to say, I am enjoying your story, dragoongfa. I'm really looking forward to reading more. :) But, something else you said made me think: I don't know if people have done this discussion before but everything I have listed above, especially the bridge are signs of a culture that doesn't take ...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
End of chapter 3, which stands at a little more than 4400 words, the second part being around 2500.
I will clean it up tomorrow.

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
Chapter 3, part 2 “Who is out there?” The distinct Sanzai voice of Thunderspear, one of her Teidar bodyguards, carried itself throughout the ship. “What is it now Thunderspear?” Shadowcloud asked, already guessing the reply. “Somebody is obviously playing games with me and the Farseer.” The Teidar r...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
While I think you're right on this specific point, remember that the Loroi keep pictures of their historical or religious figures on their ships. They do leave some room for spiritual images. True but that would fall under maintaining morale which is one of the most important aspects of war. This h...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
The medieval church in the next town from where I live have several fake windows. Maybe it is just painted on windows as a decoration? That wouldn't make much sense in a warship, especially one in a Total War environment where every last bit of resource/man hour counts, even if it's just something ...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
There's also crew areas marked there. And sensors tend not to glow, and the placement on other ships is nonsensical for sensors. I guess I am going to go with the destroyed explanation from now on; damn those blue bits, drawing my attention from what's important :P EDIT:Also how come the views jump...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
Yeah, thought you were talking about the blue rectangles as well... The small blips do indeed look like windows so I guess it will be one of the things that will go in the rewrite/explanation list for later. EDIT: Also, one more comment for ridiculous Loroi ship design; right behind the ridiculously...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
Eh, I'm seeing windows on some of the Loroi ships. And Warhammer seems to have some small windows, though in places easily damaged in a crash. Couldn't find images of the dorsal side. And Bellarmine 's bridge was penetrated trough the hull plating above the viewports. Slapping some plating over tho...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
If they don't meet in the next part I'm gonna be rather annoyed... Heh. Were all windowed compartments lost in the battle? I didn't see any clear window compartments on the Loroi ships on the comic so I am guessing that if the Loroi did something right that was to consider windows as the structural...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
Yet an other part which changed from the first draft.
Also nearly 2000 words.
Will clean it up tomorrow, now I am going off to sleep.

Chapter 3, part 1 “How is it looking lieutenant?” Captain Asteios asked as the image on his console flickered briefly. “Good so far, Sir.” Marine Lieutenant Josef Allerberger replied as he examined the airlock the engineers had finished setting up almost an hour ago. “I have to admit that they did ...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
I think that it would depend heavily on who the target was and what kind of backing the guild itself would have. For example, what's the possibility of a Loroi guild acting like an unscrupulous modern PMC? Let's consider that a client race of the union (any race) has a certain internal 'rebellious' ...
