    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    ... which is a song pack I don't have for HoI 4, surprisingly enough (stopped playing HoI 4 when it went whole hog on the DLC train and kept slowing down to a crawl). The great thing about using the The Janus Campaign style 'prototype to actual chapter' posting is that you can ask people what...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    ... and this is why I ask people; they find things you wouldn't normally find. [nicks it and starts prototyping using it]

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    Now, for the next snippet, I'm introducing the (Iron Pact) Poles that would be the tip of the spear for the Siege of Italica... but it's taken from the viewpoint of Giselle. In one part of the scene, the Poles start singing in a tavern. I've narrowed it down to two right now (although...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    This is a prime example of how bad (aka overexaggerated in this example) propaganda screws you over. British propaganda of the Germans was so over the top that it caused a sort of 'why we're even fighting the enemy' effect with the troops and stained anything bad afterward. People forget that...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    It's kind of both. People forget that the best type of propaganda is just an exaggeration that isn't overboard instead of something made up wholesale or far out of proportion (for example, a lot of the propaganda that Britain and France did against Germany was so ludicrous that it kept the...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    If it weren't for the fact that the author is, frankly, an ultranationalist idiot, Zorzal would likely be a combination of Caligula, Nero (fun fact: Nero came out the way he did because of his mother, Agrippina), and Mark Anthony. Like in canon, Zorzal is running around with a portion of the...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    I have... plans... for Zorzal. Special plans. So be patient.

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    As I said before, I'm using how the fanfic The Janus Campaign does things. Basically, I post prototypes of chapter segments to gauge reactions and discover any missed spelling and grammar problems. After compiling the chapter segments, I post the entire chapter with a threadmark. Threadmarks are...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    So, sorry about this, but between real-life events and hopping between two sections, this is what got prototyped. Now, one of the things that keeps bugging people who read/watch the series is why didn't the Warrior Bunnies didn't go into guerrilla warfare mode. Well, a close-to-canon reason is...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    Well, elements of splitting up do happen here, too; it's just that they're meeting up with the Speculatore (Roman military spies) instead of splitting up to cover more ground. You wouldn't believe how much of my real-life frustrations and anxiety pushed this snippet over the finish line. I was...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    Now, this next snippet centers around Pina, with Hamilton gone to meet with a Speculatore*, trying to make sense of the situation surrounding Italica as she and the Rose Order are forced to play wack-a-mole against bandits instead of gathering intelligence on the Men in Green. * Speculatore are...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    These snippets are not the final product. I'm taking a page from @Kiyone4ever and his Gate fic (The Janus Campaign), where I post snippets of the next chapter to gauge the reactions of the snippet and get any help with anything that my spellcheck and whatnot misses.

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    Ok, sorry for the god-forsaken long hiatus. Real Life was a complete and utter bitch. Subway took a lot of my energy (especially since it was doing Amazon BS), meaning that I had less time and energy for anything more than snippets. The only reason that I'm getting back into it now is because...

    Extras: Sidestory: A Christmas Miracle's Return

    Oh boy, I found out what has been giving me my damned writer's block: a little side story idea that explores a little more of Hauptmann Aaron. In this case, something stolen and shattered out of spite returns whole. I lost it because Chrome was being a finicky bitch, but it has returned after a...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    Ok, ladies and gents, I'm still having some writer's block, thanks to the aforementioned Rule 8 event. Working on a few snippet ideas but they're slow going. One of which is basically a sort of wargame between US/Japan coalition pilots against Iron Pact pilots when, suddenly, a wild ghost ace...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    Sorry for the long delay, but here's a situation report. After getting a job at the local Subway, I've been finding less time for my stories (my actual stories, not the various short snippets). Then I hit some writer's block as I went to visit my mom over Christmas. Then, reality gave me a...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    Well, the funny thing is that I've been planning what would be considered 'gaiden' -or literally translated: side story- fics to this fic. Some of them are comedic in the 'WTF am I getting into' fashion, some are smut (because let's face it, the setting of GATE has a lot of possibility of sexy...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    There are more than two continents, it's just that two are the focus of the fic. Oh boy, that is a level of stupid that I can't fathom...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    From what I understand, Marx wasn't above letting people live, especially if they have knowledge that needs to be learned, the problem -as I see it- is that the later branches took the 'kill the rich' far more literally than necessary. Given that we're going to be starting to need a few cork...

    That... is very much not the case from my understanding... While true, you also forget the Saldarian pantheon into the equation.
