TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) My most emberassing secret to other readers: Haven't actually read LOTRs. I hadn't until last spring, so it's okay. Mine: After reading LotR, I read Eragon. Not only did I think it was good, but I wished I could write like Paolini. I was also 15, so I guess there's that?

Kobold King he/him Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Thanksgiving! I like the first. This new block quote thing could get messy real quick in here. Glad you like it. I wanted to add the line "According to contemporary sources, he was 'a slontze,'" but I ran out of the space I'd assigned for myself. And I agree wholeheartedly. I prefer the other quoting mechanism by far, which I stated on the site maintenance thread. My most emberassing secret to other readers: Haven't actually read LOTRs. Me neither. I've read a lot of Robert Heinlein though, so it... sort of evens out? Kind of? 1

I'm sure this is going to be very relevant advice that Annie can utilize for the rest of her life." If Jack and Annie move to Oregon, this is going to be the best advice she's ever heard. 2

Only if you consider Lightwards to be a dinosaur mother. ...Aaaaaand now I'm picturing Lightwards in a skirt and blouse while squatting over a nest of dinosaur eggs. STORMING IMAGINATION 2

STORMING IMAGINATION If so, he's kind of a terrible mother. "Leap to your deaths, kids! Mommy will fix you up when she feels like it!" Still not as terrifying as Lycra!Lightwards. 2

Still not as terrifying as Lycra!Lightwards. Is there a version of CPS that monitors dinosaur hatchling-related abuse cases? If not, then there should be. What if Lightwards squatted over a nest of dinosaurs while wearing lycra? 2

[ENDLESS ENDLESS SCREAMING] After a budget cut, the Dinosaur Protection Service fired all their caseworkers and phoned Remington to tell him Lightwards' weakness.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 What is Lycra!Lightwards? Lightwards dressed in Lycra. So basically, a sad, rather unattractive middle-aged man...wearing a Lycra bodysuit of some kind.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 You are a far better writer than Paolini, nothing you've written makes me want to slam my head into my desk. *grumble grumble* Inheritance *grumble grumble* *Terrified screaming* Thanks. Yeah, for me the charm wore off during Eldest. I actually read it all the way through, even through the weird dancing elf twins scene (if you've read the book, sorry for bringing that up ) because I kept hoping it would get better. I skipped the other two books, which I almost regretted upon hearing that one of them has a riveting scene where Eragon compares his thumbs. I won't really canonize him! ...unless he gives Funtimes a very good reason to.
Kobold King he/him Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Remember how I said "I solemnly swear I will not ponify Lycra!Lightwards"? ...Yeah. I meant more "I really shouldn't but I'm going to do it anyway." There's a reason nobody swears blood oaths with me any more. 4

Am I the only one who thinks Nathan looks surprisingly good in Lightwards' clothes? Should I be prepared to pay psychiatric bills for all the traumatized members? I know, right? I put him in them because I didn't have time to make him his own outfit, but it works surprisingly well on him. I should make Nathan comics more often. 1

Voidus Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I thought Portland already had a psychiatrist, didn't we have one ages ago?
Kobold King he/him Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I thought Portland already had a psychiatrist, didn't we have one ages ago? Hmm. I can't remember one. If we can't find him I suppose we could take up counseling with Autumn Glass. Which reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask. Twi, how proactive is Autumn about encouraging City Guard Epics to stop by for counseling? She seems pretty scared of Epics like Shiny Sparkle, but would she make it clear to Epics like Glamour or Scribbler that they're welcome in her office at any time?
Voidus Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Found it, it was way back in the second Questions thread. 2

She seems pretty scared of Epics like Shiny Sparkle, but would she make it clear to Epics like Glamour or Scribbler that they're welcome in her office at any time? She encourages anyone who wants to stop by of their own volition, but she balks at forcing anyone to talk with her. Shiny Sparkle frightens her more because of the whole flirting-with-someone-who-could-turn-me-into-pile-of-glitter thing. But all the loyal Epics in town know they can stop by anytime. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Found it, it was way back in the second Questions thread. Oh, I remember that now. How could I have forgotten it? She encourages anyone who wants to stop by of their own volition, but she balks at forcing anyone to talk with her. Shiny Sparkle frightens her more because of the whole flirting-with-someone-who-could-turn-me-into-pile-of-glitter thing. But all the loyal Epics in town know they can stop by anytime. Cool. That definitely seems to fit with her character--making it widely known that all are welcome, but not pressuring anyone into speaking with her.
