Chrono's actual part in the end of the Book of Darkness incidents makes it far less likely that he'd think that the Shadows would have helped that particular problem beforehand. Knowing the Knights as he would... I don't think he'd even idly think that. But I don't think that the idle thought is all that big a deal, I just wouldn't use it. Quote:

It's just one line, easily removed. Thanks for the feedback so far. I'll do my best to keep new chapters coming.
As for the Artificial Mage bit... other people are pointing this out, but I'm experiencing a bit of Fridge Logic here. Why would the projects have two names? Why would Fate, Erio and Vivio be considered results of Project F, but Lutecia and Zest be simply artificial mages (both of whom were born normally, one of who died and came back like a zombie only with less rotting). It was Jail that referred to Lutecia and Zest as artificial mages, so that's where I'm extrapolating this information from.

Clearly, I have done something right and am being rewarded for it. Watching people take an idea I've had a large hand in creating, adopting it, and using it in thus-far-excellent fics is an amazingly great feeling.
Well, I'm glad that they're not presented as "super-weapon" type of items, but the logic seems kind of circular--the mass driver is powerful enough to kill Celica, but a "standard Storage Device" wouldn't be. Ergo, mass driver > ordinary magical weapons technology. This is the part I don't like. If Celica's defense is crap, then it's crap and it really shouldn't matter what people are shooting at her with; since there's no underlying "game system" in Nanoha telling us that AA-ranked mages have a Barrier Jacket that can stop X amount of damage type Y but only A amount of damage type B, there's not even any way for the reader to glance at the situation and conclude that this is the underlying rationale. And on a purely aesthetic level, I simply dislike it when nonmagical technologies are inserted into the TSAB's environment (even Jail's Gadget Drones, while using non-magical-damage weaponry and AMF, were still powered by artificial Jewel Seeds)--it's like introducing, say, a computer into a modern novel that doesn't use electricity.

It's funny, I partially wrote replies to two posts before I realized what I wanted to talk about was unneccessary.

Project F creations were supposed to be perfect replicas of their originals. But some of them seemed to have developed magical abilities that the originals didn't have. Hence, you can consider Fate and Erio artificial mages in the sense that they're a)Artificial creations, not natural-born and b)mages with active Linker Cores. But neither of them went through the "adjustment" process intended to create the kind of Artificial Mages (note the uppercase) that Ginga described in ep11. As a side note, I wouldn't be suprised if Jail had slipped in something that increased the odds of developing an active Linker Core into the Project F process. Quote:

Western!Nanoha...
Well, I was never really into westerns, but I think it could work. Throw in a little Trigun and Outlaw Star, and I think we have a good mix of lost technology, caster guns, magic, and western feel that could work......maybe. Anyway, here we go! Spoiler for For Allquall:

Awww, does no one love Auris' mastermind-ful scheming? And yes, it's not like Hayate to leave so many openings.... Quote:
Ouch, when you put it that way, she does sound quite nasty indeed! Maybe I ought to throw in a more sympathetic scene to redeem her character?

You want more Noland/Kaon? I suppose I could post something I've been working on and off for a while.
That or the Noland/Keroko one... ... Yeah, I haven't done much writing in MGLN. Damn you To Aru.

That's really my only serious critique, honestly. I still don't quite buy Yuuno sliding into madness and mistaking Vivio for Nanoha revived from the dead, but that's just me. It's really good, though. Much improved from the first time around. EDIT: Pageclaim for improvement!
