Hello, fine travelers. I can’t believe we’ve finally gotten to my turn. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to finish this sporking. I can't believe Paolini still has a career after his last three books. I’m trying my best to make sure there are no major holes in this one, but we'll see how it goes.

Up next we have [personal profile] ultimate_cheetah with Softly Creeping. That one's a doozy so good luck.

Fractal Noise drops on the day after tomorrow.


... wait, where have I heard that phrase bef--





I assume once everyone's got a copy (from their local library, of course, we don't want to pay for it directly) we'll post the chapter list and begin another group spork.


Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our braincells dead.
In literature there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when purple prose blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the antishurt;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd scorn;
Then lend the spork a terrible aspect...

Hello everyone, I've been reposting the old Inheritance group spork, over at as_sporkive. You can find it here.
Might be nice to look through, I guess.

EDIT: I've finished reposting it!

Here we are folks, the final chapters in this ridiculously huge and impressively empty doorstopper. I have to say, I am seriously impressed that we've collectively got through this in less than a year. Previous sporks (Brisingr, for example) have gone well over a year.

Although I think part of that is just the sheer lack of anything to critique. The story is so empty and so repetitive that our sporks were repeating each other's points by chapter 3 onwards.

Unfortunately there's only two chapters up for grabs in the final part, as 1 and 3 were dibsed in advance.


PART SIX: QUIETUS

Recognition - torylltales and snarkbotanya
Unity - ultimate cheetah
Decession - epistler
Exeunt VI - ultimate cheetah



After this we just have the appendices, acknowledgements, and author's note/afterword.


ADDENDUM
Appendix I: Spacetime & FTL
Appendix II: Ship-Based Combat in Space
Appendix III: Terminology - mara_dienne
Appendix IV: Timeline - mara_dienne


AFTERWORD & ACKNOWLEDGMENTS - epistler, torylltales, snarkbotanya, ultimate cheetah

Chapter 1: Arrival - epistler
Chapter 2: Necessity III - mara_dienne
Chapter 3: Integratum - ultimate_cheetah and/or (?) epistler

Seriously, "Necessity III"? He couldn't come up with ANY other chapter titles than repeating "Necessity" THREE TIMES?

Please make it stop )

 



By the way, which of my potential names for the jellies did you like best? Did you like any of them better than "jellies"?

- jellien  (jelly-alien)
- xenocnidarians (strange/foreign jellyfish)
- cnidoxenes (same as above)
- xenautiloid (foreign Nautilus-like creature)
- medusid ("like medusa", medusa being the stage of a jellyfish's life where it looks like a jellyfish)
- chitinopod (chitin-feet, referring to the armoured shells some of them have)
- parapolloipodes ( "too many limbs")
- alien
- pseudomalacostricans (false lobster)
- xenocoleoid (like a strange soft-bodied mollusc)
- sepiidaxenes (strange cuttlefish)
- cnidarixene (see 3)

3: Escape! - ultimate_cheetah

Comment: Yes, he actually did put an exclamation in the title of part 4 chapter 3. What is this, a mid-2000s children's chapter book?

It's time to choose your chapters for Part 3!


PART THREE: APOCALYPSIS
1: Past Sins - torylltales
2: A Caelo Usque ad Centrum -mara_dienn
3: Shards - silverskyfeather
4: Terror - ultimate_cheetah
5: Sic Itur ad Astra - ultimate_cheetah
6: Into the Dark - mara_dienne
7: Necessity - rhyson
8: Sins of the Present - epistler
9: Exeunt III - torylltales


To be honest I'm quite pleased how quick we've been getting through this. Aside from a few breaks here and there we're averaging a chapter every week and a half-ish, overall, which is impressive. Still, this is only part 3 of 7, not including the appendices, so... don't hold your breath for the end of the book.

Let me know if you'd like to take any of these chapters in the comments below (And if you've read ahead and want to claim a particular chapter ahead of time, let me know too and I'll add it to the list).
