Hey no problem, I'll drop a comment on your post here in a bit with some thoughts I've had on it; that way people who check it out later might be able to learn more about your regiment if I happen to have a question or something that wasn't already detailed in your great description.
I'd hate for any cool details you may have forgot to initially mention in their description to not be attached to the art itself.

Not really something you need to work on more specifically... just lots of cool stuff that could be expanded on if you felt like it ya know?

Pity there's no more of On the Periphery. Loved what I read so far. Guess the fanfiction mimics the source material in that respect.

Hehe, yeah sorry there's more in the works but similar to Culexus I am subject to random bouts of real life.

your storys are very interesting so keep up the good work on those.
perhaps you should ask someone who is good at drawing to draw some of your caracters. Placing some of those in your work helps to draw the attention of readers.

Oh wow, hey thanks a lot I certainly appreciate that! Coincidentally there actually are some pictures of some of these characters made by [link] here on Deviantart, A lot of these characters are imagined in his fantastic work so you should definitely check it out (and maybe tell him to draw Magpie haha)
I just really haven't officially linked any of my work to his own unless he decides to initiate said linkage himself.

Believe it or not I love the Ciaphas Caine novels... pretty sure I've read all of the books as well as the short stories because Sandy Mitchell hasn't put any more of his tale out recently I believe.
I think that the books are not only written in an extremely unique fashion that works so well but Caine himself is just, such the perfect Anti-Hero in my opinion. It conveys the perfect amount of action, intrique, and of course some grimdark humor.

when i read the books i Always find myself wondering if cain is a petological lying hero, or the most unluky coward in the milkyway galaxy. In an interview Sandy mitchel stated that he dous not know for sure. its likely cain dousnt know eather.

I think the best part is that it's a little of both. Basically in the beginning of his career he was in fact the lying coward he admits to be in his memoirs but as time goes by and he continues to pursue the same course of action with the same effect of being put in constant danger he has to somewhat realize that he's more the hero than he wants to admit, and despite that fact he goes back to lying; except later in his career he only lies to himself to keep himself from developing an ego that will get him killed.
Basically his flippant attitude is in actuality a way to humble himself and refuse the credit he's earned.
