Greenhornet553 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I feel guilty for avoding this post, well... Actually, I've been avoiding the whole forums mainly because of this post. Don't get me wrong, this story is amazing, I've just been focusing more on school and real life so I've been resisting the urge to return here. The fact that you see this post means I couldn't hold it anymore, screw my grades, im getting back to KSP. Anyways, loving the direction the story is taking and I'm having a bit of trouble understanding it so I'm going to have to read the few chapters again until I get it. Also congrats on the TOTM thing, was a bit surprised to not find it at the bottom of the list but instead at the top. Definitely staying on the forums a bit longer now because of this amazing piece of writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceplaneAddict Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I believe @Just Jim might be prepping a special chapter in lieu of TOTM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely school first... I'm not going anywhere. 1 hour ago, SpaceplaneAddict said: I believe @Just Jim might be prepping a special chapter in lieu of TOTM. It looks like I'm going to have to now... That's cool. Having a few days off gave me time to let my mind wander and come up with a couple new twists. I'll be done with stupid reality by this weekend, promise. Then I can get back to my Kerbal-verse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal_Mace Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 No worries about the lack of dramatic tension this chapter....It makes a great interlude watching Kerbals do what they do best! Great to see the kids already trusted with helping raze the old tower, showing them doing what KIDS do best! Besides being too cute for words.....! Congratulations on TOTM!

Jeb! Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 @Just Jim, Excellent job on this story! Not gonna go back to quote you, but you said [much] earlier on this thread that no one could reproduce this story because Squad owns KSP. I say you should have SQUAD publish it and pay you royalties! Can't wait for the next chapter! -Jeb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to lie, after I went back and read it, I thought my last chapter was kind of...well, blehhhhh. The station itself looks amazing (I think...lol), but the rest of it kind of fell flat. IMO, I need to crank up the tension. 12 hours ago, Jeb! said: @Just Jim, Excellent job on this story!

Well, (one), they are a multi-million dollar company-- and (two), since we're all writing fiction using characters, images and situations to which SQUAD holds the rights--nope, no checks. Not even 'early access' . However, I once heard about a fanfic on a forum for the Twilight books, and the author changed the names and made the characters humans instead of werebears and sparkly vampires or whatever, and published a book, which based on the title I assume had to do with an unexpectedly broad range of monochromatic paint options. So, you could always go that route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one has thought to ask, or try to find out, just who Emiko really was! It's the one shout-out I did that no-one has gotten yet....

No-one has thought to ask, or try to find out, just who Emiko really was! Actually, I did some research. Mainly because the name "Emiko" peaked my interest as it was the name of an active member on a graphic design forum I frequently visit. Figuring it wouldn't be that Emiko I googled it, but I didn't get any further than a Japanese singer. You claimed it was named after your grandmother though, if I'm not mistaken...

Mister Dilsby Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 From Wiki: Personally, I think it's the retired badminton player.

Kerbart Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Well, given the disastrous themes in the Emiko Saga, we could also go for the Godzilla character! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think carefully about me, how I write, and build ships... it's a hard one, but I think the clues are there. 16 minutes ago, Kerbart said: Actually, I did some research.

I said it was named for Val's grandmother, who claimed to have actually seen a live Kraken when she was young... Hint: this is a clue to it happening many years ago.....
