Bay 12 Games Forum

... only if the devices are actually unliving. Shoving magical creatures into cages and whatnot has a long and storied history in the magical arts. So does making horrific abominations unto nature and having little fleshbooks generating magical power for the average consumer. Hell, devote a little of the magic generation to prestidigitation and some kind of sustenance spell and you've got a spellphone that never needs power and cleans itself.

Also, just realized that if I ever get a smartphone and actually have a ring tone, it'll be something saying, "Help... me..."

Why are we comparing penis sizes all of a sudden?

Which btw, is a derail we need to immediately get off on.

To the first, it's because russian self-repression isn't enough to suppress their manlust. To the second, yeah, that seems to be what's happening.

*grumbles vaguely about none of it being things frumple didn't already know about*

Guess I should mention the handful of non-SB/V fics I've read so far this year.

A Drop of Poison -- pretty good chance the thread's actually mentioned this one before, but it's started getting updates again. Naruto fic, basic conceit being N spends another year at the academy. I likes it because cloooonnneeessss.

Mother of Learning. Original fiction groundhog day in a fantasy setting, in which the main character gets accidentally'd into someone else's time loop. Fairly prominently features giant spiders.

FFTimeTravel. Fairly short (~34k words) little Ramza-gets-reset sorta' thing. Nice characterization and whatnot, I think.

Amorously Minded. Maybe mildly NSFW, but far from anything explicit -- rated T and everything, for what little that matters. Marvel/Capcom Xover, in which Stark manages to knock up Morrigan. Includes things such as Spiderman babysitting a baby half-succubus. It amuses me. Also relatively short, being only about twice as long as FFTT.

Gleam of Silver. Naruto. It's... a thing. Maybe not the best thing in the world, but it was alright-ish.

E: I found a thing! Shadows Under the Oak Tree, a Fire Emblem fic with, from what I recall, pretty incredibly well done characterization and whatnot. A very low-key, down to earth piece of fiction. Last time I read any was... probably back in '08 or something crazy like that, but it apparently hit completion in '12, so hey. Have a read, people. It's pretty fuzzy.

Then there were a bunch of SV/B stuff, of which most I'm just not going to bother mentioning -- anyone can go over there and browse the first five or six pages of their creative fiction sections.

As recent-updates are concerned, though, this probably deserves a mention. ZnT/FoZ, in which instead of summoning something Louise spends some time as a post-singularity infomorph. And then comes back to Halkegania.

You need a tag you can throw up sarcasm, you crybaby

Sarcasm font. Georgia is the sarcasm font.

1. It kinda' isn't.
2. Maybe don't image search that not-word.

I think you mean "Omnomnomicon time" Tawa. Gots to get the theme right.

I just get frustrated because people who talk shit about feminism get to have their posts but the moment I defend it that's too much for the forum to handle.  At least that's what it feels like.  Keeps happening.

If a post bothers you, report it, create a thread and take the conversation there, or make your comments in PM. You're welcome to defend the subject, just... not in the rage thread. Frankly, the folks that keep talking shit should probably stay the hell out of here, too, but only the Toad can really stop that kind of behavior, when it comes right down to it.

Time and place and all that. Have the good sense some are obviously lacking.
