Gah. Sorry that I haven't added anything yet. Overtime at work plus fussy 2-yr-old has resulted in no time to write, even though I've got plenty of ideas for the next chapters.

For whatever reason, I often picture Fred to be somewhat similar to 'Cyan' from the old 'Final Fantasy VI' game. Don't know where the mental image came from.

Glad you enjoyed :) I didn't want to derail the story with the ACTUAL One Ring of course, but once I settled on 'Lost Jewelry' it needed a shout-out at the very least. I like the characterization of Astra is a little bit genre-savvy, or at least moreso than Fred. I also found myself wondering how ol...

Sorry for being so slow on this update. My writing time kept getting interrupted, and I ended up getting a bit verbose in the end :P

[Edit to add]: D'oh! Forgot to include the option in the Astra line of a city composed entirely of undead Belboz clones! :P

Heh. Yeah, the Tropes link was to to the "Sorting Algorithm of Deadness", and I think the only thing that could have pushed him farther into "Death? What is that?" would be if he'd somehow jumped off a cliff :P Belboz's magical displays in his first appearance gave him what, in m...

Since back-(cross-)linking exists here, what about extending both the Fred and the Astra lines in parallel for a few episodes, then bringing them back together once they find each other again? I don't want anything remotely as complicated as that story web that has parallel universe copies of everyb...

Story update: The Dragon Arrives (Cont'd) Momma dragon shows up [108078], and Fred tries to talk rather than fight [108080]. Fred cranks up his volume to 11, and the other dragon actually stops to listen for a moment. The dragon replies speaking her own language ('Taksrrith') first, then responds wi...

Fred was snorting at the rocks for a few moments before he got it right, and there was a hole large enough for a small dog (and probably sound) through - unless Belboz was distracted/preoccupied, it seems likely that he would've heard something. Maybe he had only prepared a single casting of that sp...

Fred: Dragon of Thunder and Lightning (Starting ep: 10384)

Making a post here to as a summary of the main plot-to-date (Currently up to Ep. 108074 ) to keep track of some details and to splat ideas. I've enjoyed building this storyline with JH so far (and there's plenty of room for more to jump in!) ------------------------ Early Chapters Fred starts his qu...
