Chosen of the Sun, Ch32

Last time, Yushuv was so worried about the Wyld Hunt coming back he decided to camp out right next to the road. Today, Ratcatcher. So total competence has probably remained stable.

Chosen of the Sun Ch31

Last chapter, ZOMBIES. Also Holok being annoying.

This chapter, Yushuv and some reminiscing.

Chosen of the Sun, Ch30

Last time, humadoggies ate a humadoggy and there was a bit of philosophy.

Now, it's Neleh again.

Chosen of the Sun, Ch28

Last time, Wren got threatened a bit and Ratcatcher emoed. Now back to Holok, the most boring Sidereal.

Chosen of the Sun, Ch27

Last time on Solars, a raiton god lays down the exposition and tells Yushuv that he's awesome and always right because that's certainly something you want to encourage in Solars.

Now back to Wren and Ratcatcher. So still technically involving an exalt, even if it's just the semibyssal.

Sunday Carapaces Part 11 (3 reviews, 5 stories)

 Yes, yes, I'll get some done tomorrow as well before I fall even further behind.

Long one today, but it's not that interesting.

Chosen of the Sun Ch26

Last time on so many characters, the fact Wren is a puny mortal finally caught up with him, even if we still have yet to see any exalts do actual impressive stuff.

Now, to Yushuv.

Hunger Games, the movie

So I went to see the Hunger Games movie.

It was pretty good with some underlying issues.

Friday, March 23, 2012

Chosen of the Sun Ch25

Last time on stupid people and the stupid things they do, Wren ran into the desert and Ratcatcher thought about not going after him for a while.

This chapter, Ratcatcher's gone after him.

Chosen of the Sun Ch21

Last time on Ratcatcher, office politics! Ratcatcher lost in social combat to a mortal. He did not immoliate himself in shame for some reason, and now he's in Nexus.

Monday, March 19, 2012

Chosen of the Sun Ch20

Last time on all Ratcatcher all the time, Ratcatcher finally got to see the Prince of Shadows and recap events for him.

This time, Ratcatcher argues about how much money he should get! Exciting.

Sunday Carapaces Part 10 (4 reviews, 5 stories)

And now, back to the rest of the fandom.


Chosen of the Sun, Ch19

Last time on Abyssals Abyssals Abyssals, Ratcatcher got into a fight in the Labyrinth.

In a shocking turn of events, this chapter has Ratcatcher again.

Saturday, March 17, 2012

Chosen of the Sun Ch18

Last time on shiny sociopaths, the Sidereal death squad sadly hasn't found Yushuv yet.

Now it's back to our non-shiny sociopath. Ratcatcher has been accosted.

Friday, March 16, 2012

Chosen of the Sun Ch17

Last time on Chosen of the Void, Ratcatcher hung out in the Labyrinth.

And now...back to Yushuv.

Thursday, March 15, 2012

Chosen of the Sun Ch16

Last time on Solars, Yushuv wanders around on the road, gaining super archery skills and not understanding how fire works.

Now, back to the semibyssal.

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

Chosen of the Sun Ch15

Last time on LOLSTATS, we talked about Ratcatcher's abilities.

Ch15 brings us back to Yushuv. Let's see if he redeems himself, sinks further into proving the Sids right, or just wanders being boring.

Reviewing Rowling Update

As it turns out, I haven't abandoned it.

Sorcer's Stone, Chapter 5

Chosen of the Sun, Ch12-13

Last time on Chosen of the Sun, the sun's chosen sure are dicks. May your lunar mate eat your socipathic ass, Yushuv.

Now back to Ratcatcher.

Sunday, March 11, 2012

Sunday Carapaces Part 9 (5)

Another chip done.

Chosen of the Sun, Ch10-11

Last time on finally some exalting, Yushuv exalts. The Prince of Shadows is the next chapter's viewpoint character! This book has never seen a viewpoint switch it didn't love.

It's an incredibly pointless chapter, but contains no lack of things not making sense. He wakes up in his bed and decides that he just knows something's up, so he gets up and he's naked because ??? and then goes for a walk without bothering with clothes.

In the hallway he finds a dying rat with a cut on its belly and somehow knows this means Ratcatcher, despite the fact it doesn't make sense that Ratcatcher would be represented by a rat. I think you can fanwank an explanation for the symbolic part happening at all, though - when the Unconquered Sun fucked with the loom to produce the illusion/dream for Yuyu, he, like his Solars, did it by brute force instead of properly, causing there to be echos of the same situation happening in other areas of reality.

...and that's the chapter.

In Ch11, we jump back to Yuyu, suggesting that the previous chapter was there just because the author wants to always switch viewpoints between a chapter.

Chosen of the Sun, Ch9

Last time on mortal mortal mortal ABYSSAL, another mortal runs into Ratcatcher, but this one doesn't die.

Friday, March 9, 2012

Chosen of the Sun, Ch8

Last time on basically Earth, the rotation of the planets means yet another person finds out the same damn thing.

Chosen of the Sun, Ch6

Last time on I don't even know exactly, Sidereals were stupid, but in the boring way instead of the interesting disaster type.

Tuesday, March 6, 2012

Chosen of the Sun, Ch5

Last time on you're here to read about mortals right? Wren walked along, singlehandedly beat up various armed bandits, and exposited about his best bud, Chejop Kejak.

Guess who this chapter's about!

That seems to be the guiding principal for POV shifts so far. Character A thinks about Character B, then suddenly we're Character B.

Chosen of the Sun, Ch4

Last time on Chosen of the Dungeon Master, the undead servants of the void reenacted the three stooges and then Ratcatcher was sent to go find Wren alone.

Sunday, March 4, 2012

Sunday Carapaces Part 8 (5)

I have a terrible work ethic. Meant to get on this sooner.

Chosen of the Sun, Ch3

Last time on D&Dxalted, a lot of things happened that don't actually work under Exalted's magic system, and so there's a prophesy of something bad happening sometime soon, oh no!

Saturday, March 3, 2012

Chosen of the Sun, Ch2

The Most Learned and Venerable Hai Sholosh took his duties very seriously, which is why Tanak Milam didn't take him seriously at all. Had Sholosh known this, he probably would have disciplined his acolyte severely, but since he was fundamentally absorbed in his work, it worked out for the best for all concerned

When this is your opening, you know it's not going to be a good chapter. This is commits the greatest sin of being overly wordy and smug about it.

Exalted - before we begin

Ah, Exalted.

Exalted is a White Wolf production, of Vampire: The Gothening fame, and my does it show. There's actually a great deal of interesting meat to their books, it's just they aren't very good at the actual game part.
