I'm not sure which of skyru's or obj is the trappier, though. Skyru's is in a weird (and somewhat amusing) place.

Can we have a True story, auntie Truean? * Sirus gives puppy dog eyes. *

FTFY

Today's level of mind-numbing stupidity: I forgot to eat. I had one job.

... you're a taste tester?

Yes, yes. Did read that one. It was pleasing, albeit it felt short. At this point, I've read (or at least started to read, and then discarded) almost all the ones on FF.N over about 40k words... and more (like Earthscorpion's >_>). Also good chunk of the non-Xover worm ones. People are doing neat stuff with that setting, and Frumple is much digging.

E: Though I will say it felt considerably different, between the two of them. Hope is, well... there's hope and stuff. Less overt brutal, especially to taylor (from what I can recall, anyway). Acceleration was more things going fast and then going faster, and damn does T and several other people get tied to the back of the vehicle and dragged across the pavement during the process, even if Taylor is a magnificent wrecking ball in both of them.

E3: Though, to be fair, that difference in feeling may be because I read through the entirety of acceleration in three freaking hours. HTOF took longer. Despite being about 15k words shorter.

E2: But yes, I do enjoy pieces which have characters that can be acceptably described as "magnificent wrecking balls", at least when it's done well -- it takes some skill to not fumble that premise (The difficult part is magnificence. Wrecking balls are easy.), and it often makes things just... interesting. And I like interesting.

Not particularly.

There were apparently some home and anger issues (especially the latter, really), as well. The age and good ol' hormones screwing up emotional state probably weren't helping, though.

Jeez, mict, seigebuddy, pal. You've been rubbing yourself on my walls for months and now this. I feel for you, poor fellow. All your stuff is gone ;_;

Now just gotta' wait for my turn. Or maybe build up huge piles of asp turtles or something so no one can take the waters from me and just sit and wait. Forever.
