[up][up] Can you give me a basic rundown of what that first one's about and describe its tonality? It seems like it could be interesting.

[up]Homura averts Walpurgis Night by warning the town and causing it to be evacuated.

This causes the government to capture her because of her supposed precognitive capability. Of course there's a bit more to it than that, but more details on that particular bit would be a spoiler.

The big issue with getting Homura free is they don't want to actually hurt the people keeping her captive, which makes getting into the underground bunker difficult because they want to avoid an actual assault.

There are also a few OC's. From what I recall I thought they were pretty well done and believable characters.

Tone wise it's a bit hard to describe. Probably overall more optimistic than canon.

As I said, its been a while, but from what I remember I thought the details in the execution of the idea were done pretty well. And the story is good about giving the villainous characters believable motivations.

Homura is the main character, but Kyouko and Madoka both also get a fair bit of focus.

For some reason I have a sudden urge to write a PMMM/Gate-Thus The JSDF Fought There fic. Must be because of that doujin where the Gate girls were in PMMM cosplay.

Isn't Gate kind of predicated on nobody on Earth having magic?

On the Kyouko reccomendations, Resonance Days is about her and an amnesiac mermaid named Octavia waking up in a pre-Madokami afterlife. Adventure ensues. Notable for an interesting setting populated entirely by former magical girls and witches from various planets, which gives some thought to what kind of societies those people would develop in a world where death isn't a thing.

On nobody on Earth KNOWING they have magic. It's just an idle thought, but off the top of my head, I see a scenario of a Puella Magi being kidnapped to the empire on the first day of fighting, escaping and finding herself in a strange land where she doesn't speak the language and her trump card has an expiring shelf life. On the other side, the Incubators have just found a new, untapped market.

Imagine the reaction to a small army of disgruntled, magical peasant girls suddenly showing up to ruin the Empire's day.

So I have this idea for Sayaka. Giving her a Cool Big Sis in the form of Fuuka. Not only that, but replacing her devotion for one ill violinist for for another.

The sadist in me then has her unknowingly choosing between who to save when she is considering her wish.

Chapter 23 of Shattered Skies is now up.

A brief interlude, in which other potential players are excised from the production, loose ends are tied, and the plot thickens...

Chapter 24 of Shattered Skies is now up.

Clandestine plans are made, in hopes of striking the first blow against Joker and Dead End...

Extra special thanks to Diane Duane herself, via Tumblr, for helping with one particular description in this chapter.

Well, I asked her for specific details about something from her Young Wizards series because I wanted to give it a shout-out in this chapter, and she very kindly complied. The Errantry Concordance, the YW wiki that she runs, is currently down for maintenance... so I figured I'd go right to the source. She's really friendly with her fans on Tumblr, you know.

In all honesty, I did send her the link to the chapter, because I know for a fact that she's a Sailor Moon fan... I dunno if she'll be able to read it, but it was worth a shot. :P

I just want you to know that, as a fellow author, I kinda hate you right now.

I'm really excited for you but I also kinda hate you.

EDIT: Oh. Well, I don't hate you anymore. For now.

Like I said, she's really awesome about talking to her fans. Not that she isn't awesome in general.

I echo Zel's pre-edit sentiments. And how dare you, however well-intentioned, potentially delay the next Young Wizards book!

In her own words, she was having a bad tech day, so odds are I didn't delay it that much... and if I did, may the Transcendent Pig never cross my path for my foolishness.

That second one is even better if you read Cloy 552's comments.

And my god Tomatoes is amazing! That's definitely in the top 3 Madoka fics I've ever read.

Possibly number one even.

Chapter 26 of Shattered Skies is now up.

And let's put this in bold:

WARNING: This chapter contains disturbing content that may be triggering to some, including depictions of violence, body horror, physical and mental trauma, and death.

Yeah, you should be able to tell why this chapter in particular took so much energy and time to write...

Hey hey~ What do you guys think of a Male O Cx Homura fic set in the anime timeline and a Male O Cx Madoka fic set post-Rebellion? Take note that both of them took place in different universes.

What I do is what I do. What everyone do is what they do. There's no need for fighting even if the possibility of peace is also impossible.

[up] What he said.

Like, if Homura ended up with a genderbent version of Madoka, I could maybe buy that.

Let me elaborate.

Homura's entire character revolves around Madoka. Literally everything we see her do is for Madoka's sake. While Homura does care about the others, Madoka always takes precedent, no exceptions. Having Homura hook up with anyone other than Madoka- let alone some random dood- would be so OoC as to completely destroy her character.

Madoka, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. She loves everybody and, while and argument could be made that she loves Homura a bit more than everyone else, nobody really gets special treatment from her. While this doesn't really impact her love life- she could hook up with just about anyone and it not be OoC, I don't want to see her hook up with anyone other than Homura unless I'm reading that one amazing CYOA fic which sadly died but had some amazing endings.

How about a genderbent Homurax Madoka fic? I do like the pairing you know.
