My monthly challenge sneak peak

This isn't a heavy AU, but there's a lot of terminology that's different. I'll probably have to post a glossary with the actual fic, but for now just roll with it.

Once More, without an LJ-cut cock-up! )

HMMM. Finn is a magician... OF DEATH. Awesome. The glossary/vocab concept looks interesting - the new words you threw in didn't make me want to claw my eyes out (the way some fantasy does - I'm so freaking picky with fantasy), so I am really optimistic.

This idea seems really complex - a lot of little details and ideas coming together, and it's great because I honestly have no idea where this is going.

I've read a lot of stories that introduce new vocabulary and I agree with you; some create slight differences that really make me believe it's a new world, others just confuse the hell outta me. So I'm trying to keep the changes understandable.

This scene isn't the first in the fic, I used it because it introduces the basic concept; but there's already some plot points coming together in this scene and a lot more that have to be introduced. I'm getting the feeling that it's gonna be a long fic.

Haha, it appears my snippet has done its job and attracted some interest then :)

I wrote this in the early hours of the morning so there may be a little mistake or two, that said I think that "a few moments silent thought" is an acceptable phrasing.

Well there should be plenty more, so long as I manage to write it all by the end of the month.

though i had to look up a few words i didn't understand - i guess these are the ones you invented. don't do this to a poor german girl! xD i'm confused!

When I post the actual fic I'll use footnotes or a glossary for the made-up words so that should make things easier for everyone.

Yeah, I've pretty much got the stasis and trigger handled; just need a little bit of exposition to establish the need-to-know info and then it's on with the plot!
