Casually tossed from a couple feet away (with notice) in a not-in-any-way savage manner. And yet, somehow she's been "hurt" by this. I think she may have Munchausen syndrome, but it would take a miracle and a half to convince her to be tested. EDIT: I'm not just saying this because of one incident. This is a relatively small thing compared with so many other events that I could name. Edited January 20, 2016 by The Young Bard

This is a relatively small thing compared with so many other events that I could name. I'm not sure that there is any test for Munchhausen sufferers, to my knowledge it's usually diagnosed due to excessive hospitalization and history (Typically they've had a close family member suffer from a serious disease at a young age).
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) It's close. I still have a couple stray beta readers to round up, and then February is going to be the final revision. I want to start putting it up at the start of March. But so long as we're on the subject, I have to decide exactly how that's going to work. I know the structure I'm going to use (a thread in Creator's Corner, first post a table of contents, following pieces go up one chapter per post to avoid overflowing the character limit), but I need to work out the timeframe. 1. Post it up in one big chunk. I have assurances from admin that I can have the thread start out hidden until I get all of the chapters up. Pros: * Once it's up, it's all there; no worrying about whether it's going to become an abandoned work. * People can read at their own pace. Cons: * I have to slog through formatting everything all in one big chunk. Ugh, formatting. * Potential readers might be intimidated by the size. Maybe? I don't know. 2. Post it chapter by chapter, with something like a thrice-weekly update. Pros: * I only have to format one chapter at a time. * I get to read all the feedbacks! * Readers can have sort of a real-time chapter discussion. * The first chapter will be available sooner, and you won't have to wait to start reading. Cons: * People might not be patient with waiting and be annoyed with how slowly it's going up. * I might be totally overestimating how many people give a fat fig about my fic, and will be disappointed by no feedback. Oh, woe, the bruising of my fragile ego! So...I dunno. What do you guys think? Serial style.Edit: I am cold. Edited January 20, 2016 by Anamaximder
ChickenPlague he/him Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Serial style. Edit: I am cold. How many degrees?(celsius)
Allomancy she/her Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 How many degrees?(celsius) If you hadn't pit Celsius, I probably would have said something like "53 degree angle"

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 I stopped at Whole Foods to pick up a few things last night. They were giving out free bread samples. Pumpernickel rye with fennel seed. You have no idea how delicious bread is when your mom has all but outlawed it. Methinks I'll buy myself some more bread today. Give me gluten or give me MORE GLUTEN! 2
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 So far, voting seems skewed in preference of serializing. Also, the number of non-beta people who are interested is plural. *squee* Maybe make your own e-book? I didn't even think about this being an option. Huh. I might have to tag on a downloadable link when it's all up in case people want to save a copy of it. 1
Citadel16 he/him Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 I killed my first Babaji today. It felt good. ALL HAIL VOIDUS, SLAYER OF BABAJI! I cant help but wonder, but did you use its soul to charge hemalurgic cookies?

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 I just realized what would get me Sorted into Slytherin. If a headmaster made me angry—and I mean really angry, the sort of anger that comes from having him steal your House Cup away and give to his favorite House at the last minute—I would study my brains out. I would get top marks in everything so I could have my pick of jobs after leaving Hogwarts. Once I left, I would take a job in the Ministry of Magic and work my way toward the top of the food chain. When that headmaster died, I would ensure that his portrait was hung in the bathroom set aside for the Ministry's security trolls. I would willingly wait decades to take my petty revenge, and it would be sweet. Well, stinky for him. Sweet for me. 2

Orlion Blight he/him Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Is Hufflepuff the nerd house? Because I would be that since I would point out the portrait isn't the same as the headmaster. I would then go home to eat a cup of ramen soup alone, wondering why I did not have any friends.
Mestiv he/him Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 I always thought that Ravenclaw was the house of nerds
Orlion Blight he/him Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 I always thought that Ravenclaw was the house of nerds Could be, I confuse the two. It's almost like the books give you the impression that only two houses matter
Blaze1616 he/him Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 In a very broad sense: Gryffindor - Bravery Slytherin - Ambition Ravenclaw - Scholarship Hufflepuff - Friendship None of the houses are shown to propagate loners. Slytherin and Ravenclaw are seen to produce smaller groups of friends that are really tight knit, but not necessarily loners, which is something that seems to happen in all houses (with a possible exception of Hufflepuff, given how little representation they got and their focus on friendship).

Mashadar Mistborn he/him Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Slytherclaws of the world unite!! Also, Slytherclaws of the thread unite. We can probably take over on one of the slow days.
Allomancy she/her Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 What are you, a Gryffindor? No silly, I'm a Gryffin Door. 1
