Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business 21st Century Legion: CHAT THREAD

Ah. Good to know. :embarrassed:

So FYI guys, the end of part 2 is a big turning point in the Earth War and a tough moment for the Legion.

I think its a good time as well to give you both a chance to get another post or two in for your tie-ins as things move forward.

Part 3 will have an even bigger, more major turning point for the Legion (the Legion proper that is, not just my 'Sentinels'). I won't spoil it but you'll know it when you read it. At that point, it will be up to you whether you want your characters to react to what's happening within my stories (as the media will broadcast what happens).

No rush or anything but I figure between part 2 and part 3 is a good time to give you guys a chance to throw in another post before the War really picks up steam now.

I've PMed you both my plans, and since I have a lull scheduled in my "acts" I can work in your developments into my stories

It's early Saturday AM here so I'll probably spend the afternoon writing up my Act One. Thanks

You're back in the Phillipines? Didn't realize! Hopefully enjoying a holiday break?

Looking forward to reading Act One! Now is probably the perfect time to post it.

I should be able to post Part 3 Monday through Friday (a post or so a day) so by next weekend there will be another lull and that will be the point where events happening in my section have effects in other sections (where at least Legionnaires can react to the news).

My Legionnaires won't be reacting as long as they're in Coast City - as I said in the prologue and showed in part 1, they're there because the place is cut off from the outside world, and Mordru's guys are going to some lengths to keep it that way! [Hence Gear's "crash", if it wasn't obvious]

Hi guys,

Been back in the Philippines since September, but my work sched matched PST which is why you didn't notice.

Sad to say, I haven't been able to actually write Act One BUT I already have an outline (who'll go to which location, what creatures/opponents they'll fight, and a rough idea of how they'll beat them). Sorry, holidays are also keeping me busy but I'll make time this weekend to write

In any case, at least the events in my part won't have an effect on either of your parts

See, when you post a couple of thousand times and run a couple of games, people tend to notice you are around, regardless of timezones

Oh, I meant back in the Philippines Should have quoted Cobie's post first

Hey, Cobalt. Mind answering my PM question? I've a post otherwise ready to go that needs you to confirm/correct that one thing first

Check our inbox.

And so Earth War has taken a major turn as the Legion is truly at their lowest ebb. The betrayal of one of their own and then a major death show how grandiose this epic is!

Is all hope truly lost? We shall see...

Going to ost a few now to get things moving in Asia.

Cobie, love how you wrote the twist.

'Boot, love your lineup of students and their characterization.

Can't wait

Loving all the posts this morning! Glad to see Earth War touching the 21CL universe on all fronts!

Okay CK, we maxed another one and I don't really have enough to ask right this moment to open another.

I'll just say in consequence that I don't have any plans for any of the stuff you asked about, nor do I have any problem with you using them

Sounds good.

You can let some questions / comments perculate before you kick off our 13th (!) PM on 21CL.

Also, today I kicked off the 4th Chapter of EW "Proper" and that will probably wrap up on Friday, or early next week. From there is only the final, 5th Chapter that is about 9 posts or so (and then epilogues). I'm considering letting you guys wrap up your stories (or get close) before I do even the first post of Part 5.

I can probably finish my Acts 1 and 2 today

Not sure how next week will look. I'm heading off abroad for work 2nd week Jan, so we have a lot of prep in store.

As for me, I'm getting near the close of "A Good Day to Die" [Trinity's swan-dive was originally going to be accompanied by her quipping the title, but that version just didn't work in context, so I scrapped the whole passage and redrafted. The title may not now make sense, but I'm stuck with it ]

The Academy story, however, has kinda been back-burnered (partly to get AGDtD done so I can hand some guys over to iB, but partly because I'm stuck at a couple of bits and need to get those resolved before I progress there).

^ Boot, thanks for getting the guys over to me. No rush though - after the New Years' weekend I likely won't be able to write much for a couple weeks. I'll use that time for epilogues.

Loved 'Boot's latest post (really curious to see what happens to Ms. Carpenter), and I'm really looking forward to some possible posts today, IB!

I plan to put up a post today and then the last two posts for Chapter 4 up early next week. From there, I'll probably wait until you both give me the go-ahead that you're finished with your storylines and then I'll post the final chapter (about 9 posts in total). Continuity wise, it will all probably be smoother if we do it that way, I think.

No rush though as I'm enjoying your guys posts!

After the end of the final chapter there will be a series of epilogues which we can all do. I have three that I will post. I think that will be easier to coordinate (I do have to ask Reboot if he'll want to do one aspect that should be included).

Sorry guys, so I'll have to revise my original estimate of finishing today. Something else else came up and I'll be joining some distant relatives on a tour of the city tomorrow.

I'll still push to finish over the weekend though!

Sounds like it could be a fun day! No worries and enjoy!

I'm hoping to get my LSH story done today, but no promises . The Academy story will definitely have to wait for 2012, though. And epilogues... one step at a time!

Part 4 of Earth War is now complete and posted. I think at this time I'm going to hold back on posting Part 5 (the conclusion) until you guys have wrapped up your stories are at least close (probably the final five posts of nine for part 5 will be done in order as the last five of Earth War).

However, don't take this as me rushing you by any means! I think it will just flow better that way. I realize of course that life can get a bit busy.

Following the end of your stories and then Part 5, there will be series of epilogues. I will have three posts worth (some posts containing 2-3 per post) and I'm sure you may want to include one or two each. I know Reboot said he wanted to wait and see how it all plays out and that's probably a good idea. For my own, they are pre-written but with room for adjustments depending on how everything goes.

I'm so shocked that we're almost at the point where the huge Mordru plot is wrapping up! I've been working on it non-stop since 2005 (and could never have gotten this far without encouragement by Reboot).

Aaannndd AGDtD is done. Still got "Beast War" [the Academy story] to do, though.

BTW iB, I know I said I'd do a handover scene, and I still will. The post was just long enough already without adding that to it, especially since you haven't reached the point where Shifter would be sending the message AFAICS

Funny definition of "non-stop", Mr. "posted nothing 21CL-related in the whole of 2009 or 2010"

"Non-stop" is probably not the correct word.

Thrilled to see AGDtD is all done! Off to read it now!

Many thanks 'Boot! Can't wait to read your finale as well

I only have 4-5 posts more to do for Act 1. I've worked out how each team will "win", just need to put it in writing.

Apologies for my week of inactivity!
