[Fire Emblem 10] Summer Chronicle: Known Issues

A list of things in the Summer Chronicle that need fixing. It's pretty straightforward. I'll add to it as I think of more.


Multi-chapter fixes:

• First six chapters need to be completely rewritten.


• Related, a structure for the POV changes needs to be created.


• Pacing to reflect the passage of time more obviously.


• Possibly introduce more locations.


• Sephiran's history with Daein needs to come out more slowly, over more chapters.


• Court procedure needs to be researched and hammered out.

Character fixes:

• Sephiran's motivations need to be consistent. They changed like, five times over the course of the first ten
  
  chapters.


• Soren's motivations need to be hinted at earlier. He's bland at first.


• Ike and Zelgius need to exist.


• Senior senators need to play a slightly bigger part from the beginning, especially from Sephiran's POV.


• Ditto for Amelia, Shirin, and Leveque. The other assistants to a lesser extent.

Background issues:

• Government structure needs to be decided on; considering some form of late Byzantine government.


• Some decisions on the religion around Ashera and the priesthood/church+state need to be made.


• Political relations with other countries need to be clarified.


• Geography (cities for reference, locations, types of climate and crops, etc.).

In general there's a lot of editing to be done. Each chapter after around ten has extra bulk that it probably doesn't need. Some chapters are heavily transitory when they don't need to be, when they could be merged with other chapters-- and two or three are there only because I forgot to add something to the last installment or two. :P I just hope I don't have to rewrite the entire thing. I think a little shifting around is all it'll take in some cases. We'll see.
