Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Slowly, unfortunately... I have had alarmingly little sleep in the past six months. But I have some ideas and chip away at the n3xt few chapters when I get some time.
Being a Ward means she has a college fund independent of her hours worked, as well as a company card for certain essentials. Her by-the-hour Wards pay gets split -- some into the aforementioned trust fund, some into an account she can access.
There was a kerfuffle years ago about a Ward of...
Thanks for the recs -- the first was disgustingly good and I need to read the third. I don't want to say too much about the rest of the post or discussion, except to say that there are good points being raised.
A combination of it requires that she cooperate with their power experts, and probably go through testing so they can provide correct and useful guidance.
Furthermore, giving Taylor an out is sort of anathema to the PRT — they absolutely do not want her off running around officially by...
I actually have a soft spot for the "you'll just use the Endbringer as a convenient way to be rid of me" argument, stemming from the phenomenonal Taylor/MM discussion in Crouching Tiger Goes to Prison.
It's particularly sickening that they would pull out the "it's okay if your don't understand...
Holy shit how has someone not already done this? Just normal Taylor with normal bug powers and normal narration-derailing horniness, doing normal Taylor things like sleeping with her teammates and cleaning up with bugs.
Dean is Not Ready for that part of being a hero.
A lot of this -- as her relationship "improves" (a term I use loosely here) with the other Wards, she'll start to take notice. At the moment, their eyefuckability is hampered by their, er, triggerremindedness?
Something like that.
Well now I feel pretty dumb, because I thought I already went through and grabbed them. Bunch of really good omake in there, so kudos to the authors. Several are close enough to canon that I'm tempted to mark them as such, but I need to check some details.
Thanks for both putting in the...
Omake: A Fate Unlearned
In retrospect, I should have known it was a trap.
I had to give some credit to the PRT — I did actually have a second cousin named Katharine who lived in the area, and I had considered going to see her and her family more than once in my loneliness. However, I had not...
Sorry, let me be more clear. Taylor is ordered to power testing, she refuses. Thus, she is brought up on insubordination charges and violating her new probationary contract... only to be sentenced to either juvie or the Wards.
I would think that, in the event she took the plea deal, it would...
To be honest, I imagine that they would have to send her to juvie. Bringing her back just means that insubordination has no consequences.
Ah yes, the "Ward-to-supervillain" pipeline
(Wednesday, February 9 2011)
Had one of her clients found their way into Verthandi’s self-styled ‘Thinker workshop,’ they would probably stop and gape long enough for Lisa herself to taser them. Or maybe she could deploy some of her shiny new containment foam grenades that a shipping company...
That went surprisingly better than expected, but Amy and Taylor both are in better headspaces now than they would have been. I'm definitely looking forward to learning their plans!
