《Battlefront》author's note-IV
Advertisement
Hey people! After coding non-stop for 6 hrs, i have written the previous chapter. Right now i am quite sleepy and i still have lot of work to finish before i submit it tomorrow. So sorry if there are any mistakes i will correct them tomorrow. The main reason i am typing this is i want to talk about fantasy genre little bit. Not to brag but i have read a lot of books in fantasy genre. It came to a point that there are no more good quality fantasy books left for me to read in english language. Wait, i am bragging!
What i want talk about is, what i understood about fantasy genre's appeal to readers or audience. In almost all the books i have read there will be a protagonist or group of protagonists. There will be Antagonist or a group of them. Our heroes will fight against the villians and win against them. No confusion about our heroes destinies. Unlike the real world you have do not have to constantly worry about every variable like, should do this course?, should i change this job?, should i start my own start up company?, NO! our heroes have none of those problems. They all have clear cut goals. Get strong or get lucky and defeat/kill your enemy. Then the fairy tail ending.
All the popular fantasy books have this premise. Of course authors try to make twist and turns here and there in the plot line. But if the reader with a cool head thinks about it rather than overly emotionally investing in the characters, the reader will know that MC taking out the villain is the inevitable ending. Look at extremely famous books, LOTR, Harry potter series, belgariad series, percy jackson series etc; And if author tried to be little bit different, readers will throw a worldwide fit! Poor J.K Rowling had to change her 7th book twice! Not once but twice!

But after 2007, somehow there is a considerable change in reader's taste. The less popular works where MC doesn't get everything, started getting more popular. Works like Bartimaeus trilogy, Malazan empire, farseer triology had more reselling after 2007. I dont have to tell about GOT(game of thrones). It only got world wide popularity after 2009.
Though there are complaints that, "What's the point of reading fantasy if it is full of reality? There is a reason why fantasy comes under fiction category." Well all i can say is that, we are at a point where every person has at-least one type of fantasy work they can enjoy. So that should be good enough. For the people who did not read this, well you missed a good note. For the people who read it, thank you for sharing this frozen thought- GOOD [th_057_.gif] [th_095_.gif] NIGHT! UTC timings

The Last Marshal
Weird West Fantasy Noir Once the Republic Marshals brought order to the chaotic lands along the Frontier, facing dangers both human and supernatural with ancient wisdom and a six-gun —but that was a long time ago. Destroyed by conspiracy and betrayal, all that remains of that secretive order is one nameless man on a trek though the West seeking revenge on the woman he blames for the Marshals' fall and his disgrace. When a visitor from our world joins him on his journey, they together must confront the horrors of a strange land, the mysteries of the past and the real meaning of their quest for justice. The world of Tellus is what 19th Century Earth would have looked like if the stories of Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Lovecraft and William Hope Hodgeson were real. History in this world moves slower. The old faiths persist and civilization never conquered the dark corners of the map, at least not without being inextricably changed. Technology and culture takes a little longer to evolve in this land, as people here tend to spend more time pursuing their elaborate revenge plots or trying to avoid being the next sacrifice to the Outer Gods rather than advancing science or statecraft. Imagine Cormac McCarthy by way of Edgar Rice Burroughs, though a little less testosterone-drenched than that description would imply. Three caveats: First, there are deep mysteries here, including how such a world came to be and who controls it. Second, this world is not wholly unconnected from our own. There is a historical point of divergence, but in the distant past. To paraphrase Twain: history in this world is not a repeat of our own, but it does often rhyme. And finally, this is not a setting that lends itself to happy endings.

The Tale of A Fortunate Slave
In the world of Valeria, The capital of The Kingdom of Albert is besieged and yet our story dose not begin in a stronghold or castle. Our protagonist is not strong or powerful, quite the opposite in fact, she is a ex-slave. An ex-slave that got "lucky" in a way that some fear and despise while others enjoy and like her. This is the story of the quite Ash the slave turned personal servant of the daemon princess Lucy Darkheart. This is very much a work in progress so please understand if there's any mistakes or errors. Not only that but I am a novice so that kind of thing is to be expected. Thank you! Edit: Updates are whenever I make one or two new chapters so expect them to be as inconstant as a dragons fire breath. *Tags and Genres may be added as the story progresses. I have a Twitter now cause it would not stop bugging me when I wanted to look at news for a game, the link is here, https://twitter.com/JustAPhoenix2 . I don't know if it works or not on the edit screen, but you can copy/paste it anyway. I may do stuff there like give insight to some of the more trivial parts of the characters lives. (That refers to ALL character, not just Ash.)
