Hawkeye1489: Good that you're enjoying it. I'm not being particularly strict when it comes to Edmund's characterization; one could say the intelligence was always there in Series 1 Edmund, only that it needed an oppurtunity to emerge from the social awkwardness.
Kurt_Steiner: Well, look at how many titles Edmund has all of a sudden.
Slinky: I believe the lyrics of the song quite adequately sum up my plans.
Enewald: It was a very....
byzantine method of taking the crown.
FingalOlsson: Or will he perhaps relapse into incompetence and unpopularity?
phargle: "
My first fin in the K saga filked the Blackadder song from the first series."
The what?
Spencer_123: I can't devulge my plan (I don't have a plan).
General_BT: I have an annoying tendency to have that happen to me in my CK AARs, in case you hadn't noticed that. I guess that just goes to show that I have little idea of the game mechanics operating just under the surface.
Lord E: Thanks. Hopefully, he'll end up getting knifed by some low-life cutthroat before he can return to try overthrowing the Blackadder dynasty.
Murmurandus: I'm not sure if I should feel insulted.
Firstly, I'd like to apologize to all of you for my lack of any updates or even activity in this thread for a week. I have a nasty habit of burning out my... for lack of a better word, will to write after a while. Part of this may be because I tend to sit down and write an update all in one sitting, without the slightest bit of forethought, which can be a rather draining experience. Or it might have to do with reading Ostrogorsky and getting so irritated by certain post-Comneni incompetence that my CK and writing time is being spent writing something....else. As it is, I intend to use that as a rather lame excuse to take a break and perhaps go about things a little differently. I have no intention of abandoning this or any other AARs. If all goes well, I'll amass a series of updates that I can release in rapid succession before too long.
Thank you all for you continued support and your patience.
