Timelines: What if Spain Failed to Control the World?

[ForzaA]

So.. short summary..

Van Ossel is in Spanish employ.
De With is "Persian".
Tromp is leading the "free Dutch" navy ?

..Where's Michiel de Ruyter?

Wouldn't be too surprised if he was the second Dutch emissary.. (since that'd also conveniently keep him from slaughtering the Spanish navy )

Some great scenes there

Among the AARs that I started reading, even before signing up to this forum, this has to be the one that most inspired me to write my own AAR. While I'll have to admit that I'm still only on page 8 (pretty daunting task to read the other 300 something pages, but I plan to do so) the story is pretty captivating already.

So, I'll have to thank you canonized, for inspiring me to sign up and start writing my own AAR.

Everyone gets inspired by this AAR, some people are just inspired to write very silly things after reading it...

As I knew, you didn't dissapoint me canon, Caliph's contribution was very good, I really enjoyed his descriptions and the atmosphere he created. The conversation between Ossel and Farazdaqi was really interesting and the conclusion of that section of the chapter, with more Spanish ships coming, was just magnificent. And what to say about the second part. This Lei character is quite intriguing and I'm really wanting to hear what he has in his mind. As always, excellent done!

Thank you very much ! Lei definitely has his own weird part to play in all of this . His identity will be one of the shockers of Season III !

There better be a picture of Admiral Ackbar for the next update...

haha , I'll try XD

The naval battle was beautiful and Calipah is a god of romantic prose.

Something important happened among the roar of cannon. I'm sure you'll tell us more about it later.

And I was spot on about San Sebastian, no?

Yes you were XD . More than you think . More in the next chapter ! And Calipah is definitely an amazing writer !

So.. short summary..

Haha , I have to save SOME Dutch Admirals for more climactic moments , don't you think ? XD Plus , who really likes Witt de With XD I tease , I tease .

Thank you so much ! It really does encourage me and warm my heart to see such comments ! I'll even add it to the Selected Praise portion in the front XD Please good luck in your writing and I do hope you catch up soon ! There are many Hollanders here who would love another one of their countrymen to beat me up whenever I don't get it right haha !

Haha I remember when you wrote your an inter-season showcase for me , Grubby . it was quite excellent !

Timelines: What if I failed to read all the pages no matter how many tries i've pursued?

It looks very interesting and allthough i had many tries in reading it since i appeared on the forum i had to recap because i was forgetting some things.

I wish there was a summary of a few pages.

 

[Avernite]

Always nice to see Dutch naval activity, and perhaps even a victory... I wonder how that battle will really end.

Modern days continue to merely confuse the hell out of me

Modern days continue to merely confuse the hell out of me

I've been feeling that way during all Season 3

Actually it's only the AAR that I write which is about Holland. I'm not. And wow...I definitely did not expect making the Selected Praise! Cool.

Only during season 3?

Cannonized: I was actually refering to Vikings

But the revolution pieces was indeed fun too

The previous two seasons weren't so confusing

 

[robou]

I think that is actually my favourite chapter so far in the whole AAR. Damn fine work! Seems like Van Ossel is going to be placed in an odd situation being on a Persian ship and his ships attacking it, but thats just how it goes. Awesome writing, Caliph was immense!

There are several summaries actually in the beginning , but they only go so far XD . Keep at it　, please !

...Sorry.


Seriously, I absolutely loved the characterisation in this update. I really got a good sense of who all these people are and what they think of each other. And the background of the battle in the first part is enjoyable to read as well.

Nothing to apologise for. Short versio of things: I'm half-English, half-Hungarian, living in France.

He writes in a beautifully flowing romantic way that my... what did you call it... post-Edwardian loss, just cannot match. I wish I could write like that. I am trying and failing at it for the writing competition... well, a little.

Haha . I'm glad It was definitely one of those chapters where I enjoyed delving into the characters . We'll see a bit more of that in the coming updates !
