I liked the Euphoria post. The knowledge thing was a thing I noticed, yes, but I've really enjoyed her flashbacks. On a similar note, did you have any notes on what Vancouver was like under Radiance? Funtimes lived there for a while, and I'd wanted to keep her Vancouver flashbacks within what your imagined there.

Which is why we need a better plan.

Like Blaze said, it WAS good. I genuinely liked it. Have him dish out some pain on Reader and be tragically shot by the firing squad for delivering some illegal karma? ...yeah, you're right. We need a better plan.

"There is nothing new under the sun," as Solomon said in Ecclesiastes (not Obliteration's second favorite book, sadly ). It was a good story and I liked it, regardless of how it's been done before.

Gochujang. It's a spicy Korean pepper paste that my autocorrect thinks should be "go humans," so I don't use the actual name if I don't have to.

Just finished reading. I liked it quite a bit. The story of Anguish was a sad one, and definitely horrifying. I did think that some portions could have used more description, like the sort of artisanal things the black planet's inhabitants would make; maybe a line or two about how some of their patterns for metalworking have survived in the jewelry from some other world, or how some of their tempering techniques have been adopted by many. Though I thought the part that needed more description the most was the final battle with Anguish. It's a computer that has destroyed ships and planets....and I felt that the battle needed a bit more detail to really convey the drama of it. And this is just a personal preference that I know is not shared by everyone, so feel free to ignore it, but I'm usually not a fan of the storyteller frame. I know pretty much every Star Trek spinoff used it at some point, and it bugged me then too. But it fits in with the fandom you're writing for, so it's really just my preference and nothing you need to change.

I hadn't. I saw it last night (I think) but didn't have a chance to read it. Which thread was it in again?
-
You've read lots of others, so you're light years ahead of my early Star Wars ripoffs efforts.
-
Yes.....IF you eat it straight out of the bottle. Splash some on veggies in a pan and it works like salt and oil all in one. Add some to pan-frying rice with a little chili sauce and you have yourself a nice stir fry. Mix it with cornstarch and pineapple juice and you get sweet and sour sauce. Mix it with pepper paste, pineapple and pear juice, ginger and sesame oil, and you have an awesome marinade for pork or chicken.

AM! I remember now! (Obviously I've never actually read I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream or else I probably would've caught the reference immediately. It sounds pretty unforgettable. )
-
Not a disaster for me. Now, running out of soy sauce, on the other hand...
-
How could it possibly?
-
Altermind? Ambulance Master? Automaton? Android Male? Amazing Maestro? I have no idea either.
-
Thanks guys. Pretty sure that'd get me fired, though. Ugh. I know it's a small thing, but after one said "You're kidding. I just made that appointment and you're already calling me back? That's pretty broken" (AND ALSO NOT MY FAULT, GUY) and the guy right after said "Well, that will depend on how things go with the car that's already there today. Okay?" I don't want to make the rest of the calls.
-
I think there's a WoB saying this will be explained in the final book.
-
Why are people so rude to me when all I'm doing is calling to confirm an appointment? I'm just doing my job, not inviting them to tell me everything they think is wrong with my company.
-
Protector Pug believes in you.
-
I regret only that I have no pugs to post.
-
Don't make me surround this RP in an acid moat....*eye twitch* We'll miss you, Slowswift. Hope Camp NaNo is fun!
-
I am preparing for that possibility. I'm just really hoping that however the setting winds up "fundamentally altered" doesn't include retconning away everything that happened from the Steelheart prologue until now. Not only would it retcon everything we've written out of existence, but it would also render all of the characters' struggles throughout the series pointless. I don't doubt Brandon could pull it off, but it's an ending I usually only like when it makes sure things like Bret Rattner never happened. Reckoners isn't nearly terrible enough to make an ending like that truly satisfying, IMO. Aaahhhhh I'm on my phone and can't post "mysterious pug" pictures!
-
It must never happen, because I'm pretty sure David's head would explode and thus deprive us of the final book. The Mysterious Force is onto us!
-
Thanks! Not really. I and other players have gone to the books, though.
-
True on both counts. Huh. So it is. Odd, wouldn't you say?
-
Two at least, yeah. Either we give it a simple handwave, or we get a little more detailed and say David's magic notes magically didn't include Voidgaze, Funtimes, or any other disintegration Epics I forgot to mention. Maybe he raises people, but they begin at the opposite end of their lives from the point they died? So anyone older than an infant would be raised as an infant, but an infant would be raised as an old person?
