Added DiffLines:

* MindScrew: Chapter 17 has the author appearing in the story [[BreakingTheFourthWall to explain to the viewers]] as part of his author's notes.


Added DiffLines:

* TheStationsOfTheCanon: The story has a strict adherence to canon events despite the differences. The author appears almost too afraid to step beyond the canon event lines, thus in order to maintain thematic consistency the author seems almost forced to create sub-scenarios and alter minor details within established events. However, this seems no longer the case as of the Flame Dragon arc, where changes, both subtle and overt, start driving the story in a different direction.

* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: The American expedition team, made up of a Marine Expeditionary Unit, really has no business having Army Rangers tote around with them. In terms of forces, it would make more sense if MARSOC came along as they are a Marine special operation force. The author [[HandWave handwaves]] this by saying that the Rangers were already engaged with the Empire during the Ginza Incident. This alongside the fact the root of the Rangers from Colonial America could be tapped into by the Rangers in the Special Region.
** Fixed in ''FanFic/HereWeGoAgain'', where Emerson and friends [[CrossOver accompany the 3rd MEU]] as MARSOC Raiders.
