  1. XF2 testbed now available

    …Huh, yeah, where's the 'x' close button for that expandable? (A user setting to leave it collapsed/disabled by default might be what some prefer, but I don't think one's available or at least not built-in?)

  2. XF2 testbed now available

    Win+; (semicolon) is an alternate keyboard shortcut that also works.

  3. XF2 testbed now available

    …Holy crud, it's actually happening. Finally! Pumps fist.

  4. Fanfic Search Thread

    This thread's where you ask for pointers toward works you've read or seen before and know exist already, but can't find again. For asking for and making fic recommendations, please see '[NSFW] Recommended Reading' (there doesn't appear to be a non-NSFW–only counterpart on this forum.)

  5. [Early/Nascent Pre-Alpha][WIP][Staging][Worldbuilding] Swords and Sourcery (Title Tentative)

    My next post here was going to collect some more of my thoughts on the Leymridian language, as well as the existing ones in one place, but…then I lost my draft of it. I do plan on reconstructing what I had before at some point, naturally.

  6. Fanfic Search Thread

    Cross-posting from the other 'Find That Story' thread which inadvertently popped up when its OP couldn't find this thread (since nobody there ever figured this out for me:) If anybody knows what this is and where I could find it, I'd appreciate it.

  7. [Early/Nascent Pre-Alpha][WIP][Staging][Worldbuilding] Swords and Sourcery (Title Tentative)

    A few more tidbits: A name I'm considering for the Myrttenssvaard's patron goddess is 'Visⱬ́ħřaiya.' She's variously depicted, and occasionally seen, as either a human or, much more commonly, a single or 'mix-and-match' mammal beastkin with long hair, though her hair/eye(/fur) color isn't...

  8. [Early/Nascent Pre-Alpha][WIP][Staging][Worldbuilding] Swords and Sourcery (Title Tentative)

    I'm half-tempted to turn the double 'a' ('aa') in 'Myrttenssvaard' into an 'å' ('a' with overring,) but I'm not entirely sure that's an edit I want to make yet. I guess I'll let the thought sit here and simmer for a bit to see if it sticks.

  9. [Early/Nascent Pre-Alpha][WIP][Staging][Worldbuilding] Swords and Sourcery (Title Tentative)

    Some things I still have left to make posts on: The Orion Colonial Federation, or OCF; the predominant faction in the region of human influence surrounding Earth in its plane of existence. (I…guess this could be a reference to the Orion's Arm setting…?) Faster-than-light propulsion and...

  10. [Early/Nascent Pre-Alpha][WIP][Staging][Worldbuilding] Swords and Sourcery (Title Tentative)

    Haggler's Rest used to be on the frontier (generally or just in terms of 'the frontier between maritime borders') but isn't quite really any more, hence it not being as crazy as it used to be.

  11. [Writing/Worldbuilding Premise/Prompt/Challenge] Science Fiction and Fantasy, Local Military…

    If anyone beats me to coming up with a more concise version of my OP that 'files its serial numbers off' before I do, I might use it or something like it for this.

    The holy sword Myrttenssvaard ('Maiden's/Maidens' Sword/Ward') is a divine blade meant only to serve maidens of destiny chosen by its patron goddess during times of trouble or instability.

  15. [Early/Nascent Pre-Alpha][WIP][Staging][Worldbuilding] Swords and Sourcery (Title Tentative)

    Just a small trivia tidbit to stash here for the moment: Dyresia has beastkin, at least to the extent of them being 'little-bit-beastly'/kemonomimi (whether more animalistic anthropomorphic animals exist there is something I'm still leaving up in the air for now.) (I'd do a full post on the...
