I think what ST means is the Flames of Prometheus bonus you get it. If that's the case, it's bound to you, and yours until you ding 50. It's not like an item you tote around or make something with.

No actually I was making an unsuccessful joke. Because I forgot that Kal actually does give an item (or rather, a temp power you can trade for a Notice at 50). Oh well.

It was somewhat successful, some of us just took the potential double entendre and ran with it.

Ya gotta forgive Dark_Respite's literal interpretation. She probably came into this thread wondering precisely how such a development would affect her ongoing writing.

Yep. I had pretty much declared COURSE OF SUPERHERO ROMANCE dead/permanent hiatus as a result of this little revelation until several folks pointed out that I should keep going.

I got the joke. It took a minute, but I got the joke (and really, the best ones are the ones where you don't grown until a bit later). But even then I couldn't think of any sort of amusing retort like Chase did, so I figgered it better left to someone else.

Why kill it off your writing, even if Posi/Numi are a couple? o.O It's your own fan fiction, nothing can really stop you from writing it.

Coz til now, I've TRIED to keep it as close to canon as possible. The fact that he was so blatantly unattached made it easy to write (and Synapse is the same way).

I *was* amused, however, when I logged in to the Devs' Ustream thing, that Zwillinger KNEW what I was going to ask about, and said, "I can neither confirm nor deny what might be implied."

Thanks a lot, Zwill.

Michelle, I admire and respect your attempts to stay close to canon as possible, but at some point, any fan fiction author will, eventually be forced to break from it.
I believe you might recall a scene in Princess Tutu where Edel offers a jewel called 'Artistic License'? (at least I would assume you do since I recall a Princess tuTu music video on your page)
The simple point is that, no matter how well written, unless a series is over, it's impossible to remain 100% canon compliant.

I'll have to go back and rewatch that scene. (And yes, there's a PT video on my page - good catch!)

EDIT: BWAHAHAHAHA.

Duck: "Anyway, what's this gem called?"
Edel: "Hope."
Duck: "This one?"
Edel: "Adventure."
Duck: "And this one?"
Edel: "Mystery."
Duck: "Okaaaaayyy... what about this?"
Edel: "Author's bypass."
Duck: "Huh... strange name."


*sighs* And I know, I know. It's me being stupid.

"Stupid"? No. Trust me, I can tell everyone on this forum about stupid.




WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS INCREDIBLY STUPID. CONTINUE READING AT YOUR OWN RISK



Stupid is a (James Cameron's) Avater and Star Wars Crossover fic based around the idea that if a Na'vi Sith linked up to Eywah, it would turn all of Pandora into a planet of the Dark Side.

Ouch.

Something something something brain hurts. I think I lost some marbles reading that. Thanks for the warning, if I survive, I will take heed next time.

Ouchy.

A few rapid fire thoughts about cross-pollination in City of Heroes.

* Scirocco and Silver Mantis
Mantis: Oh, you bad boy! I'm going to have to punish you for your transgression against me!
Scirocco: Yes, you're right... I probably deserve it anyway...
Mantis: Sheesh... nevermind... you are SUCH a buzz kill...

* Doc Delilah and Posi... actually... Doc Delilah and anyone... sorry to inform you but Delilah's in love with my character Jonathan Fury... they've just kept it on the down-low because of her professional reputation.

* Synapse: In his case they had to re-word the warning label on Viagra to "If you are Synapse (or a hero possessing similar super-enhanced "speed") and the effects of our product last more than four minutes... consult a physician immediately"

* Statesman and Lord Recluse: Now, keeping that pairing in mind reconsider the potential meanings of "The itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the water spout"

* Ghost Widow and the Croatoan version of War Witch: their relationship was doomed from the start though... it just lacked substance.


My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

Yeah, and be careful, the next one could be worse than that. My brain works on rapid fire process of elimination brainstorming, and my imagination makes me run through a gamut of insane, dumb, or weird ideas.

Oh! My!


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

I know I shouldn't enjoy this, but this must be how Marauder feels when he nails multiple people in his Nova Fist because none of them actually listened to the warning on the screen.

The downside is that I probably just lost my dreams of future internship with Paragon Studios. *sighs* and not all of my ideas are that bad... Unless a Captain Nemo Strike force concept really is that bad.

Well I can understand that But it's still non canon, so keep writing it whether he goes with Numi or not

I figure Belladona/Pablo were like Marcus and Monica before he left for the war - close, and on the verge of that close becoming more. But it never had the chance to.

Yes, the show will go on. It has to - I just got sent the roughs of the art I commissioned for the cover of TCoSR II, so I need to finish that book at least.

Eh, not necessarily.

There's really no reason to believe that Marcus ever saw Monica as a sister. (Unless it's stated as such somewhere that I'm no aware of.) It's possible to be extremely close to someone, without being nearly as close to their relatives/friends/whatever.

I don't view my best friend's twin sister, or her brother with any familial distinction despite us all having gone to school together and having known each other for more than half our lives. (It would be particularly odd for me to see her brother this way, given that we dated in the past.)
