Magellan

Beatrix Grainger and Bruce-93 now having a colourful bad day in Bad Karma.

Lo, there was much rejoicing because I finally have a buffer of completed pages! Admittedly it’s only two pages, and one of those is the cover… but I’m rejoicing. With some luck, I’ll have a few more pages in the buffer by the time the next Magellan chapter kicks off which will be Wednesday January 22, 2020. I’m very excited about this story and am planning on updating twice a week, Wednesdays and Sundays. With over 80 pages already drafted, I’m really hoping to keep to schedule providing there are no catastrophes.

I am also working on an incentive story, and it is pretty epic! While production is quite advanced (20 pages drafted) I want to spend a bit more time on it – to make it double-plus awesome – before I kick it off… so it’ll probably start from March 1.

30 of some 150 entries…

Another quick post… I’ve been working on the cast page (still offline) for some days now. And it is a mother of a task. There are just over 150 entries – each with a pic, a first appearance link and a few vital stats… name, alias, powers, country/realm/planet of origin, relevant dates. I can only do it in one hour stints because it slowly starts to do my brain in.

Anyway, it is getting there but it is slow, slow going. I certainly want it online in time for the next story launch though… so, another three weeks then! Easy!! (Runs away sobbing)

Here’s most of the characters who have graduated from Magellan Academy prior to the “current year” and who have been seen thus far… there would be many others of course!

While working on the seemingly impossible to fully update Cast Page (it’s almost there, honest!) I got to thinking about the older, non-cadet characters who were also listed as having completed a cadetship at Magellan Academy. Most of the ones we’ve seen so far are current heroes or faculty. When I was originally putting the cast page together I admit that I was sometimes a bit arbitrary about the years those characters were cadets, and that has landed me in some continuity conundrums here and there which I need to fix. Anyway, I got to thinking about which former cadets were in the same year and compiled a list. This will come in handy for an upcoming voting incentives story featuring Epoch… if it interests you, read on…!
