Blood Magic S2:E6: Contaminant, Part One Re-Release

In the original release post, I claimed that Kiluron and Doil needed more active roles, and that this should not have been a two-part episode. I disagree with my former self.

Blood Magic S3:E5: Blood and Dragons, Part One Release

In some ways, Blood and Dragons is the easy climax of the series, the obvious one.  I’m hoping that I’m able to pull it off where that’s an advantage, and not a problem, because I’m really excited to finally be writing this pair of episodes.

Blood Magic S2:E5: In Contempt Re-Release

I'm not one to pat myself on the back too much, especially with regards to my writing - if anything, I probably spend a little too much time talking about what I perceive as the flaws in the writing that I'm trying to convince all of you to read - but this is just a really good episode, at least to me.

Blood Magic S3:E4: Noble Child Release

This might seem like a little bit of a slow story to some of you, and that’s okay; I don’t want every story to involve a lot of action in the traditional sense.

202204.15202203.06 lloydearickson Continuing Projects, Projects, Series, Short Stories

Blood Magic S2:E4: Fallen Angel Re-Release

I think a lot about writing action scenes.  I don’t mean action scenes in the literary sense, but action scenes in the sense that probably attracted a lot of us to speculative fiction in the first place, the kinds of action scenes with flashing swords, sparking wands, roaring dragons, and pirouetting starships.

Blood Magic S3:E3: Making Change Release

For all that I really enjoyed writing this story, and think that you will enjoy reading it, I don’t have very much to say about it.  It’s a simple story, really, introducing Arval and providing a little context and a little conflict.

202203.15202202.23 lloydearickson Continuing Projects, Projects, Series, Short Stories

Blood Magic S2:E3: Strange Lands Re-Release

My main goal, going through revisions having now completed the Pifechan invasion episodes at the end of season two, was to help readers understand the Pifechan mindset, and to make them seem less like a tropy evil empire out to dominate the world.

202202.28202202.02 lloydearickson Continuing Projects, Projects, Series, Short Stories

Blood Magic S3:E2: The Society of the Broken Promise Release

On the surface level, it is about the straightforward problem of countering the Gälmourein threat. On a deeper level, it is about the mysteries involved, and in that respect this is a little bit of a bait-and-switch.

Blood Magic S2:E2: Witch’s Heir Re-Release

The separation between morality and law is something that has long fascinated me. It's a similar question to Socrates' famous query: "is conduct right because the Gods demand it, or do the Gods demand it because it is right?"

202201.31202201.11 lloydearickson Continuing Projects, Projects, Series, Short Stories

Blood Magic S3:E1: Shards of Glass Release

Writing the first episode of season three as a denouement for the Pifechan invasion made a lot of sense.  Unfortunately, it left me with a small problem: plot.  More specifically, it left me with a profound lack of plot.
