Orient Yourself Correctly: A Komnenian Tale

It reads great from here, Kosta!

Let us all hope that the new Governor can match Alexios' expectations, and that the Seljuks keep to their word.

I like this new update. Alexios seems to know well a popular saying among the Greeks "ο σκοπός αγιάζει τα μέσα" (meaning "the end justifies the means")...
 
That's probably for the best. An awful lot of them were bloody terrible. :p

This looks good, although Kosta has a lot of work to do if he wants to beat Pururauka's The Mauricians, which is one of my all time favourite TLs already, being so scrupulously researched and convincing. I suppose I should doff a cap to The Revival of Rhomanion too, although I think that suffers a little from being too optimistic on the Laskarid state. Basileus444 is certainly a better writer than I in terms of the frequency of his updates though!


Dont forget my TL Maurices Roman empire. Although it is trying to coninue the classic Roman empire. Its also cool and well researched. Good luck with your TL by the way. I know there arent a lot of good TLs out there these days :mad:

Ευχαριστώ, φίλε μου!

Είναι καλά να δω έναν άλλο έλληνα γύρω'δώ! Χαίρω πολύ! Με λένε Κώστας, κ'εσύ;

Το λόγιο «Προς Μεγίστην Δόξαν Θεού»; Αυτό θα΄τανε καλά για τον Αυτοκράτορα Αλέξιο. Τι κρίμα είναι μόνο απ'το τον 16ο Αιώνα!

Αχ, το ξέρω, ήτανε υπερβολή! Ξέρω τον Κύριο τον Γεώργιο τον Βραχάτη, και συνάντησα κάποινε άλλο, αλλά δεν θημάμαι το όνομά του, δυστυχώς. Μόνο υπάρχουνε 5 Ελληνες εδώ, νομίζω. Πρεπει να βρούμε πιο πολύ Ελληνες! Τεχνικά, δεν είμαι Ελληνας τώρα: δεν έχω εγώ ελληνική υπηκοότητα ακόμη :(. Είμαι σίγουρος που γνώρισες όλλα τους λάθη μου. Δυστυχώς, η προφορά μου είναι χειρότερη :p :(!

Και χάρηκα πολύ, Σίμων!
 
Kosta,
we would sooner return to English writing since there are other posters in the thread....although there are weak spots in the story(like in any story,more or less...),the way you compose the story is very interesting...please carry on with a new update as soon as possible....

I'm working on something now, but I'd much rather hear about the weak spots that you see so I can go back and fix them first. That's the only way to get a good story, after all: with a solid foundation.

In light of recent events, everyone, I think that I will no longer be writing on this forum. If you would like to see my story continue to unfold over the summer, please PM me and I will give you my email and we can discuss a course of action more in-depth. I think I have just the place to start work back up again soon. Thank you.
