This almost did not happen. At least, not in the way that you're seeing it. I knew this episode needed significant revisions, especially to the ending, which was a rush job last year to get the episode finished in time for its original release. On my first pass through, which is all that most of these episodes receive, I tried to get it right...and I failed.
Blood Magic S3:E8: Trust but Verify Release
Surprisingly, this was a challenging episode to write. Going into it, I thought it would be an easy one: the plot is straightforward, there’s plenty to write about it, and we get to see our new Guardcaptain in action.
Why I Don’t Outline
Considering my general temperament and proclivities in other aspects of my life, you might expect me to be an outliner. Except…I’m not. Not at all.

For all that it is structured differently, and the inclusion of the historical plotline could be considered controversial, I enjoy both parts of the story.
Announcing: Blood Magic Bonus Episode
I am excited to announce something that we have never done before: a bonus Blood Magic episode!
Blood Magic S3:E7: A Matter of Facts Release
Arval is building a flying machine. That’s the plot, such as it is, of A Matter of Facts, one of the lightest episodes of Blood Magic in the whole series.
Blood Magic Extra: The Blood Decrees
As I was working on writing Noble Child, I started thinking in more detail about the oft-mentioned Blood Decrees, and I decided that it would be helpful for me to actually write down what they are.
The Rats in the Walls Review
Having read it, I can appreciate it as a truly well-crafted story in its own right, and while “enjoyable” may not be the right word, I’m glad that I read it, and not just because it illustrates points and techniques that might help me hone my craft.
Blood Magic S2:E7: Contaminant, Part Two Re-Release
Yes, this story is only nine thousand words, when many other two-part episodes have been closer to fifteen thousand words apiece. So? A short story is not a bad story. Sometimes, a short story is actually a better story.
Blood and Dragons “Behind the Scene”
This is your spoiler warning. If you haven't already read both parts of Blood and Dragons, I do not suggest that you read this post.
