how would one even go about bringing down a behemoth like Igurath?

the bigger they are, the harder they fall

the voidal beings must be bleeding from the same wound. so the more we hurt the igurathi, the less chance he has to energize?

7 to 8, for basically the same reasons as what Caesar said. I imagine somebody is going to lose a couple of limbs. :P

sudden realization that i should probably issue an amnesty period for dropouts because this is gonna be brutal but also very happy in places but you just don't understand when i say brutal things get like

ugh ask @Caesar or @Bloo or @Jagged or @Rosendorn

things will get brutal

That's the fun part, isn't it? This is probably going to be the most brutal thing I've written for, and quite easily the darkest (and that's saying something, given my propensity to kill off many of the characters I have and provide some dark plotlines), but I won't know what I'll feel about it until I try. It's worth at least experimenting with my threshold and what I am willing to write, and if I can overcome those barriers and stretch beyond them. It might disturb me, but that's just part of the process. So, yay?

Primo Example of Lumi-book Darkness:
"What's wrong Danny?"
"My chest won't stop beating, and Fi doesn't understand why."
Anka looked past Danny, squinting at Fiona. "You said you were a Healer, right?"

new signature as prophesied

i'm a bit surprised at the outpouring of belief in the caraflorian navy. i could work with that.

i've decided that all igurathi servants will have illusionary powers in varied forms. for example, a humanoid vagrant that produces a fan of knives in a proximity-based area of effect; some knives are illusory. some are laced with lethal toxins that'll give our luminier a run for their money dispelling for days.

dispels for days?

dispels for days.

new poll. took forever to make bc the percocet has my brain scrambled like yaaaaaaaa

@tortwag, @TheSilverFox, @Bloo, @omnom --> i'm adding you to the list of writers for the window. statistically speaking, storybooks without more than four entries in the first few weeks are doomed.

so i guess no more windows. go as you please, as long as you please reasonably-scheduled.

@Lumi: Since I expected that this would happen, I'll see if I can start writing by the end of this weekend and over the week. I'm not really sure how much I'd be able to write, since I'm horrible at coming up with ideas in a speed other than slow, but I'll see what I can do (and then Lysander will be right. XD).

between piss naps right now.

does anyone think their character would be interested in a military future in lemuria (given the ranks and privileges we've established about the LMF but not the possible corruption)? if so, that can tie into mission objectives and renown rewards

just communicate the things

@Lumi I know that mine wouldn't.

As for the windows thing, it's a shame 'cause I really thought it was a great organization, but thanks for adding us four. I'll see what I can do this weekend, I've got some writing to catch up to anyways.
And post plans are already a thing, so I'mma just try and find the right pace.

@Jagged Good luck, fellow slowpoke! May we succeed in finally catching up after adding some awesome fuel in our snail shells, lol.

@Lumi: Jaron is looking for whatever excuse he can to get as far away as possible from Svetagrad. If there weren't any better options, he'd take it happily.

(by the way, yes, I do have a Skype account that I actually use, if you're interested. I don't use my YWS name, of course, but I still have one.)

i'm in and out of the idea of skype groups for DTs - mainly because i'm generally neurotic and deeply personal with my info

BUT if it's something folks want to opt into, i won't say no

PM me if you want added to something maybe-kind-of-resembling a skype group, which includes my darlings that usually get added by default but may not feel comfy.

Oh, not a problem! I was just presenting the possibility. I also tend to be nervous about my personal info, and my Skype profile does have some personal information of mine, so that's perfectly fine. I don't think I'll opt for it, in that case.

I wondered why we put villains in our stories when we have plenty of them in real life; then I realized that maybe we wanted stories where the good guy wins.
