She doesn't have to be defined by it for it to still be a part of her. That to me feels like saying "Kaladin isn't defined by his depression, so you shouldn't be happy that Brandon wrote that depression well and focus on that".

...? Why? She's heteroro. I don't think she's interested in him in the slightest, but why would this info impact that at all?

Every day is mod appreciation day

Well I mean, that doesn't make her unable to be seeing Hoid (though I don't personally think she is).

I SCREAMED AND CLAPPED MY HANDS SO HARD THEY STILL HURT I HAVEN'T EVEN READ THE CHAPTER YET BUT SHE'S ACE SHE'S ACE SHE'S FREAKING ACE HETEROROMANTIC AAAAAAAACE MY CHILD, MY REPRESENTATION, I LOVE YOU, I KNEW YOU WERE MY FAVORITE CHARACTER JASNAH IS FLIPPING ACE MY DUDES AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I WILL NEVER BE OVER THIS A bit sad that she's not biromantic but ACE I gotta frame this and put this on my wall hang on - This is one of the best fandom moments for me, ever, this. Jasnah Kholin is asexual and he's consulting with people to write her right and he's not falling into stereotypes so far and he's such a good man and I might cry because QUEER MAIN CHARACTER, BABY!!! I mean her book is super far away but we won't focus on that ;-; also he said currently! as in sexualities are fluid! who needs grammar when my girl is ace! best thing to come out of 2020

I got the joke, I just didn't think it was particularly funny, I guess? Two people having the same score really isn't groundbreaking in these, it happens all the time depending on how each person calculates.

I mean, there're only 12 questions, people are bound to get the same numbers.

Mostly the latter. @Chasmgoat - 50% me @Nameless - 33% @Ghanderflaffle - 33% @BreezeCauthon - 42% @Enter a username - 25% @Aspiring Writer - 16% @Illwei - 50%! Wasn't expecting that one

@Mage character approved! I’ll add him to the list when I’m next on desktop. Now you can just find a thread and walk in; most are location-based, but The Masked Dance isn’t, for example. Have fun! Edit: Sorry that took me so long, list has been updated.

Welcome to the Shard! Do you have a favorite character?

Ah, right, that. Thank you! *happy Ene noises* *gives everyone thank-you cookies*

...I don’t remember this, you’d think I would, but nope. What was it? Yay, I don’t want to be arrogant

It wasn’t a fun place to be.

Well storm you too! Welcome to the Shard!

Scadrial’s caverns?

Welcome! Don’t worry about using Google Translate, we’re pretty accepting. What Brandon Sanderson books have you read?

I hadn’t read that at the time. I want to compliment @EmiTheNinja for being adorable

You aren’t required to by any means, but if you feel that you cannot follow the directions provided, and that you would prefer to leave the discussion entirely rather than do so, then I commend you for being aware of that in yourself.

Aspire. It doesn’t take a ton of effort to say sorry and and attempt to see why someone was offended. I’ve had multiple people inform me that you’re being a bit rude on this thread; clearly there is a problem somewhere, regardless of whether or not it was intended. Here’s a bit of a fantastic post by @FeatherWriter; relevant parts: And this thread, which has a lot of great, relevant advice: I suggest that you read and consider them. In addition, please try to remember that stories, fundamentally, attempt to do different things, and which thing it accomplishes will differ for every reader. For you, certain qualities in writing, those generally considered to make a story “good”, are important. I respect that; I value it very highly myself. However, that is not what everyone is looking to get out of a story. Happily, you seem to have realized that already. What you have not noted in your posts is that all art is subjective, full stop. Good writing, bad writing, fun writing, boring writing. There is no such thing as objectively good writing because ‘good’ is an opinion. It cannot be a fact. What makes writing good is different for everyone, including published writers - or aspiring ones. All criticism of any form of writing MUST keep that in mind; there is no objectivity, and looking at your opinion and calling it absolute, indisputable fact is where one of your problems lies. It’s not that you like certain things in writing. It’s that you insist they are the correct way for something to be written, when there is no correct way to tell a story. People are allowed to think that someone is being rude, and are allowed to bring that up in a conversation. Every discussion in humanity is not merely an attempt to win someone over. There are many other reasons to discuss something; other people will have and use those reasons; and looking at your way as the only way to go about a thing is not going to go well for you in life. There is something you may wish to take note of in this quote. You say that if that video is watched, people will - definitively - change their ideas. Even worse is your choice of words with “errors in judgement” and “higher standard”. There are your standards and there are theirs. Neither is higher. Art is, again, subjective. Likewise, their judgements are not errors, and it is astonishingly impolite for you to call them that. A person can be mistaken about facts; they cannot be mistaken about an opinion. Don’t tell other people what they should want. I personally want writers to improve and to strive for improvement in many areas. I see that you do as well. We can express that desire, and our hope that other people will feel the same, but it is up to them how they feel, not us. Let’s all be nice to each other and accept each other’s opinions, guys, I don’t want to have to put my mod hat on in here again.

What would the Christmas one be about? Because if it’s beating up Chaos (with a cameo of beating up me) for another eight minutes, I’m not sure that you should put in the effort. This was waaay enough, in my own opinion. More than enough, to be honest.

Because mental health do be the worst.

In between good and bad. I liked the Epic battle, then they teleported up to Calamity and...I didn’t hate it, but didn’t love it either. Hopefully the AG will help redeem it.

Okay, I thought you were calling me arrogant for a second and went “noooooo what did I do????” But cool cool cool. Thanks.

No worries, everything you did do was great!
