Heir of the Void Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Okay, resurrecting this thread WAS productive. You think any of this has been productive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vander Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 You think any of this has been productive? Well, going by that logic there's no point to most of the forums. I count entertainment as productiveness, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 It's a good thing I've been alone while I've been reading this thread, because it's been making me laugh even more insanely than Alcatraz. Heir of the Void, you are a MAD GENIUS. Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Bard Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I second seventy-thousandth this. Having just binge read this in one go (while my English homework lies neglected in the background), I can honestly say that this is absolutely brilliant. Hope there isn't another year gap this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heir of the Void Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 When will he next part come out?????? Soon? I've been kind of busy, and the last section is mostly character stuff and introspection that's nothing like what I've been parodying in the past few sections.

I'll take that as even being more awesome than before ... so how soon is "soon"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heir of the Void Posted April 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 *Shouts* I've been kind of busy lately. The stuff you hear about Engineering and time allocation? It's all true. I currently have a pile of jokes (most of them bad) and ideas for bizarre events, though part of the difficultly is that this is the part that connects to Words of Irradiance, and I need to make sure that make the appropriate fraction of complete sense. I've also been distracted by something else - an actual narrative, mind, though still a context where discussing plans for the thermonuclear dredging of the Bearing Strait is completely reasonable. So there's that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Windspren Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) You want to... nuke the Bering Strait? How may Fissionspren would be attracted to that? I have a few ideas for jokes, and I'll have to type them up and PM them to you when I get some time. Edited April 10, 2016 by Kevino36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I assume by "Bearing Strait" you mean a narrow channel of water inhabited by aquatic bears? That sounds interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heir of the Void Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I assume by "Bearing Strait" you mean a narrow channel of water inhabited by aquatic bears? That sounds interesting. It took me a moment to realize the accidental pun. I meant Bering Strait - with sufficient abstraction, you described it more or less adequately perfectly. It's only 'narrow' in the sense that, say, the Gulf of Mexico isn't. Fifty miles is nothing to sneeze at - hence the atomic bombs. You want to... nuke the Bering Strait? How may Fissionspren would be attracted to that? I have a few ideas for jokes, and I'll have to type them up and PM them to you when I get some time. Surprisingly few - the plan called for the use of one-megaton devices with a fusion fraction above 98%; so only 20 kilotons of yield from fission decays. There would be far more fusionspreen present. Second point sounds cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty miles is nothing to sneeze at - hence the atomic bombs. I can never resist taking people's typos literally in order to make jokes. And yes, I meant "narrow" in the grand scheme of the scale of the entire globe. Size is all relative. I'm curious as to why you want to drop atomic bombs on it, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm acutely surprised it took this long for someone to ask. We're not exactly just dropping a bomb on. The idea is to make the strait deeper, so as to make it more difficult for the aliens to walk across the seabed and threaten North American directly after they defeat the Soviet Union, because that would basically be game over for the entire human race. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurthemir Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Why do the aliens have to walk across the seabed? Likely due to presence of the Alaskan Anti-Alien Aerospace and Armor Artillery or AAAAaAA for short. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vissy Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Because even if they made their seabed liquid, it wouldn't stop Jesus Vin from kicking their teeth in at the Second Coming. Just call it "resigned practicality". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heir of the Void Posted April 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 21 minutes ago, Flynn said: plz shir, mai i hav sum moar? NO YOU MAY NOT! Try back in like a week*. I should be able to re-read Words of Irradiation and have something thrown together for the first bit. Thanks for reminding me this existed drawing my attention to this matter; I'm pretty sure I lost my document copies of the bits posted and subsequently ran off to write something involving giant robots and suffering. Expect the style to change a bit; I'm not sure I can manage the same level of minimalism I accomplished in the first sections. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
