  1. Once and Future (WormxFate)

    There's only one thing that can save her - the holy grail!

  2. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    My guess? She didn't. She hoped.

  3. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    If Taylor was capable of making reasonable decisions, she wouldn't have done 90% of the things she's done in this fic. This fic epitomizes bad decisions gone to 11.

  4. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    I'm thinking she's just going to expend willpower to ignore them, and cut herself to generate more willpower.

  5. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Birdy had a beau. Birdy's beau did a boo-boo. Birdy's beau booked it.

  6. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Aw, I can't help but feel that there was a missed opportunity for Taylor to join the Yangban cult, learn all the powers, and subvert from within.

  7. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Oh, I have no problem with the getting of the powers, and the combining of the powers. The important part is, you don't get bogged down, and you're constantly moving forward with the plot. It's definitely something I noticed, that Taylor is not OP, and I appreciate it. Plot doesn't move...

  8. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    I think(and this is just my opinion, and my preference in stories, and other people's opinions may differ, and that's totally valid too) but the problem with SI's or other type of stories which use formats like gamer or celestial forge or cyoa power manipulation, or tinkering, is that the...

  9. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Because despite some rough spots of dramatically stupid behavior, Taylor is internally consistent as a character, and the author has an imagination to keep the plot moving forward with interesting events and doesn't get bogged down with irrelevant trivia.

  10. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Except that Jack Slash doesn't have conscious control of his communication shard's ability to extract data from other shards. He can use it subconsciously as a combat thinker ability, but premeditated use of his thinker power? No, he's not that good at it.

  11. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    If she even does snap out. She may be too far gone by now. We may need a sidereal to put her out of her misery.

  12. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    This has become one of those stories where I pray the main character suffers some kind of crisis that forces a re-evaluation of... everything, because the longer this goes on, the worse it's going to be when it all comes crashing down around her.

  13. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    It's interesting that people are calling Taylor a Solar. She isn't. She's a parahuman. If anything, her shard is a Solar.

  14. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Short of some kind of crisis - perhaps breaking some sort of barrier, or wall, a limit of some sort - you might be right. It would take something pretty major to get her to re-examine the path she's on.

  15. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Often times in superhero stories, it's 'us vs them' mentality, where the heroes go and 'beat up criminals'. It's super simple and not realistic at all, and is a form of escapism that doesn't involve actually thinking about 'issues'. Once you think 'oh, this neo-nazi has actual opinions about...

  16. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    It's not hypocrisy. I remember several chapters someone going 'i'm out,' betraying a fundamental misunderstanding of what was actually happening in the story. Again, I find the reactions very interesting. And the nazis aren't the good guys. Taylor is being exposed to their rhetoric. The big...

  17. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    I'm always interested in the reactions of people to stuff like this. People get so triggered by it, they don't bother to actually dissect it and find the flaws in the logic. I guess people are just tired of arguing.

  18. A rare story setting

    If survival sims are your jam, I also kinda like The Long Dark, the survival mode has no NPCs, though the story mode(wintermute) does.

  19. A rare story setting

    Have you ever played Firewatch?
