    Thank you.

    *Claps.*

    I was chasing down an idea for a Fate Amber cross, when I heard about Zelazny's A Night in the Lonesome October again. Then I recalled possibly hearing someone talk about that cross,...

    Fujino Delenda Est

    Yes, I know, this is 'ought to', not 'is going to'.

    I can't recall the correct way to do that type of passive construction without references. I only remember the passive...

    I find myself trying to cross over the Mahouka and Otokojuku properties with very many different things.

    Mahouka's setting has a number of compatibility issues with Nasu. The most tractable of...

    One argument against a deadline extension might be that it would put the new one just two weeks before the IRS filing deadline. I couldn't say whether anyone with work left on this is filing.

    I had 'solution' in scare quotes for a reason.

    Touhou, Tokyo Ravens, and to some extent Nasu combine for a wide range of types and power levels of Shikigami.

    Re: Origins

    That makes sense for something self contained. But I've been finding myself asking what that would mean for an origin that seems to need measurements taken off of something else. ...

    Take the time you need, and can afford, to do the work.

    This chapter gives me a renewed appetite for Lio suffering.

    Dear Ergast,

    I figured it would be best for me not do that.

    I want to ask, really, even if summoned using Sakura's body as a catalyst?

    So Reimu shows up, and turns the cousins into bread shuttles first chapter? I am amused.

    Well, think a bit on how Kon might be described. So it might be something in the same classification as that sort of Shikigami.

    If Onmyoudou is a magecraft, then perhaps other magecrafts can do...

    Tokyo Ravens? What is your primary source of canon on that? Anime? Manga? LN?

    It looks like it happens during the first school year. Is it before or after the big Chimera/Nue incident?

    I like...

    Mattias,

    I dunno. The Egyptians had a lot of solar deities.

    I associate the jackal with Anubis, who I don't recall hearing claims of being a solar deity.

    Wiki says that the Egyptian...

    I'm happy with the pacing.

    I liked this chapter. Yes, there are things which could've been compressed. I imagine it would be difficult to say for certain what should be compressed, or where...
