Corneille Noire: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Last time, Eragon, Brom and Saphira reached Teirm, Saphira was abusive to Eragon again, and Eragon and Brom found some information in a seedy tavern.

Chapter Twenty-Three | Overview of chapters Twenty-Six to Twenty-Eight
Corneille Noire: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Last time, we had a frankly mind-numbing travel chapter that could not get its travel right at all. For the reader post:

Chapter Twenty-Two (Part II) | Chapter Twenty-Four
Fumurti: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Last time, we learned about Seithr oil, and Brom and Eragon came up with a quite convoluted way to find the Ra’zac based on that.

Chapter Twenty (Part II) | Chapter Twenty-One (Part II)
Kerlois: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Last time, Eragon learned magic and the ancient language, and our company went very slow.
I do not actually have anything concrete for the reader post, so let me give this to Fumurti, then. (leaves)
Fumurti: Well, I’m feeling quite capable again, so let me begin with the next chapter!

Kerlois: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Last time, Eragon and Brom talked quite a bit about magic.

Kerlois: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Last time, Eragon and Brom left Yazuac and that is about all that happened.
Now for the reader post:

( There is not that much to say here, but we still ramble on longer than the chapter itself. )
Corneille Noire: A good day, and welcome back to Eragon, everyone! Last time, Eragon and Brom reached Yazuac and found that the entire population had been killed.
First, let me do the reader post:

( What is one to do when faced with a massacre? Kill even more, of course! )
Corneille Noire: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Last time, Saphira was caught in a highly implausible thunderstorm… and that was about all that happened.
( Reader Post & Reflections )

Corneille Noire: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Eragon!
Fumurti: And I’m back, too.
Corneille Noire: Last time, Eragon, Brom and Saphira travelled a bit across the plains, because this book reads like a travelogue, even though it is not supposed to be.

Chapter Sixteen (Part IV) | Chapter Seventeen (Part II)
Fumurti: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Last time, there was some more travel and we finally could see outside of Palancar Valley! Before we begin, let me do the reader post:
( Reader Post & Reflections )
Anyway, let me begin with chapter 17, then!
( This went considerably smoother with two of us. At least there's something to say beyond “this is boring”. )
Chapter Sixteen (Part III) | Chapter Seventeen (Part I)
Fumurti: Hello everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Last time, Eragon and Brom got horses and that was that, mostly.
Before we begin, there is a whole bunch of reader post:
( Reader Post & Reflections )
That ought to be enough for quite some time, so let us finish this chapter!
( A last bit of tedium before the adventure actually begins. )
Chapter Sixteen (Part II) | Chapter Sixteen (Part IV)
Fumurti: Hello everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Last time, we had some quite unpleasant stuff and Brom and Eragon got some money.
( Reader Post & Reflections )
On to the next part of the chapter, then! This should be quite easy, actually.
( There's not very much adventure in this yet... )
Chapter Sixteen (Part I) | Chapter Sixteen (Part III)
Fumurti: Hello everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Before we begin, I would like to show off a special guest: the NRSG!
(the NRSG comes in. They are an anthro green parakeet wearing a robe the colour of their feathers)
NRSG: (waves) Hello there, people! For those who do not know me, I am currently busy with BattleAxe and since I revised the counts over there, it only seemed nice to help out here, too.
( Reader Post & Reflections )With that done, let me resume! Fair warning, this part sucks.
Content Warning: Child abuse, fat-shaming.
Chapter Fifteen | Chapter Sixteen (Part II)
Kerlois: Welcome back to Eragon, everyone! Last time, we watched Brom make a saddle for Saphira, and nothing much happened. Now for the reader post:
Let me turn this over to Fumurti, then.
(Fumurti comes in)
Fumurti: Well, about time for me to do something more substantial, I’d say.
Kerlois: Good luck! (leaves)
Fumurti: It may have been quite a while, but we have finally reached the point where the adventure begins in earnest! This might also be a nice point to step in if you haven’t been keeping up with this very much.
( We're underway, and I've got some debunking to do! )
Chapter Fourteen (Part IV) | Chapter Sixteen (Part I)
Kerlois: Welcome back to Eragon, everyone! Last time, we sat through Brom and Eragon talking, and Brom refusing to share his history. Now for the reader post:
Well, let us now begin with the chapter! Hopefully it will be a bit of a palette cleanser; mine is quite muddled at the moment.
( A nice transitional chapter is probably enough to do the trick. )
Now, let us continue with the final part of this chapter!
( More talk, this time with more bad fathership )
Chapter Fourteen (Part II) | Chapter Fourteen (Part IV)
Kerlois: Welcome back to Eragon, everyone! Last time, Brom confronted Eragon, Saphira was prevented from doing anything, Brom came along with them, and Brom met Saphira. Now for the reader post:

( (Insert some witticism here) )
Chapter Fourteen (Part I) | Chapter Fourteen (Part III)
Kerlois: Welcome back to Eragon, everyone! Last time, Saphira convinced Eragon to go hunt down the Ra’zac, mostly by yelling at him, Eragon made preparations to go, and Brom accosted him.

Chapter Twelve (Part I) | Chapter Twelve (Part III)
Corneille Noire: Welcome back to Eragon, everyone! Last time, Eragon woke up, and we had some downtime. Now for the reader post.

Chapter Eleven (Part II) | Chapter Twelve (Part II)
Fumurti: Welcome back to Eragon, everyone! Before I begin with the reader post, there are some announcements to make:
( Some announcements. )
With that, here goes CN! *leaves*
Corneille Noire: Why, thank you, Fumurti. I had not expected to be back this soon, but I do not mind it, either.
( We take a break for some downtime. Also introduced here: my favourite Carvahallian. )
Chapter Eleven (Part I) | Chapter Twelve (Part I)
Fumurti: Welcome back to Eragon, everyone! Last time, Eragon convinced Saphira to fly back to the farm by guilt-tripping her and they discovered that, though the farm is destroyed, Garrow hasn’t been abducted. Before we begin, I need to address some things first.
Kerlois: A good day everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! As yet, there is no reader post, so I will leave the stage to Fumurti. I will be back in chapter 13.
Fumurti: Hello, everyone! This time, you’ll be getting a much better look at me. Let’s begin, then!
( After all, who can better cover a book about dragons than a dragon (of a sort)? It also seems the Ra'zac have been actually villainous! )
Kerlois: Welcome back to Eragon, everyone! Last time, Eragon was carried away by Saphira by the power of plot contrivance. As we left off, Saphira was about to land. Before we look into that, let me do the reader post:
Corneille Noire: A good day everyone, and welcome back to Eragon! Before we begin, there is the reader post to attend to:
( When the plot needs someone to forget their goal for no reason, it cannot be very good. )

Kerlois: Welcome back to Eragon, everyone!
Content Warning for discussion of child abuse
( Something exciting is coming... )
Kerlois: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Eragon. Last time, we sat through Brom’s explanation of the Riders, and I was quite long-winded. This time, Eragon and Brom will keep talking.

Kerlois: Welcome back, everyone! This time, I will continue with chapter six, after my and Scales’s little adventure in the self-published edition.
( Read more... )
Kerlois: A good day, everyone, and welcome back to the Eragon comparison. This time, I will tackle the first part of chapter seven.
( Read more... )
Scales: Welcome back to the self-published edition of Eragon. This time, Kerlois will tackle chapter five!
Kerlois: The sooner I can get back to the place I left off, the better, after all. Though I am interested in what these chapters looked like.
Scales: You know how to do this, and which counts to use?
Kerlois: Yes, certainly. If you will let me proceed, then…
Scales: The floor is all yours.
Kerlois: Let us begin, then.
( rowen )
Hi everyone, and welcome to chapter three of the comparison, Dragon Tales! This chapter is longer than the previous one, though it won’t be as heavily edited.
