Hello! by Aeon on 2018-09-13 01:18:00 UTC Reply

Hello! I recently joined the Discord. I'm AstraSupra on FANDOM wiki. I've read a good amount of missions, but I really need to finish TOS. I don't really participate in fandom beyond talking to friends I RP with, so I'll list some of the things I like. I like Pokémon, Mario, Smash Bros., Fire Emblem, SPORE (video game), Crimson Skies (video game), Minecraft, The Familiars book series, City of Ember books, and the How To Train Your Dragon movies. I'm also partially familar with Harry Potter, Golden Sun, and a little bit of WoW, The Unwanteds first book, and Splatoon. (WoW and Splatoon were due to RP friends, which is also how I got into Fire Emblem.) I absolutely love playing video games, especially Pokémon Black, though I have been playing Mario Kart lately. I've replayed Pokemon Black five times. (My favourite Pokémon is Reshiram.) I also like to draw, roleplay, and read about genetics, epigenetics, evolution, and various other sciences.

I go by xe/xir or they/them pronouns. I lived in Canada for awhile, so you may see me mix American and British English spellings, and please let me know if I do. I slso have vision loss which leads to a lot of typoes, as a heads up, so I generally try to reread and fix typoes before and after posting.

*high-fives you* I share most of your fandoms, so I can tell we're gonna get along swimmingly. Have some popcorn and a pack of mechanical pencils! (.7mm lead, if you care about that) Enjoy your stay!

Booo. .5mm all the way! (nm) by Neshomeh on 2018-09-14 15:24:00 UTC Reply

You fool, .7mm is the only true answer! (nm) by 61516 on 2018-09-15 03:50:00 UTC Reply

Have a bumper sticker:

I figure that one fits your interest in genetics. Sort of. ^_~ What's new and fascinating on that front? I'm interested in those things myself, but not good at keeping up.

What missions have you read? Which are your favorites so far?

Sorry for the late answer!

I havebeen hearing talk of utilising CRISPR to treat genetic diseases, and a clinical trial for doing just that for Usher's Syndrome Tupe II recently left the preliminary phase.

Regarding missions, I've read a lot of those involving series I like - I went through the Killed Badfic sections. I'm not sure which us my favourite - there were so many that were fun to read! I will say I loved how legolas by laura was killed, though.

In that case, I presume you know of by S.M.F. on 2018-09-14 18:31:00 UTC Reply

this video. ;)

(It's very catchy.)
Ooh, CRISPR. by Neshomeh on 2018-09-14 15:29:00 UTC Reply

No worries, there's no time limit. Well, sort of—threads drop off the front page as newer ones push them down, and then they're basically dead—but you're fine. {= )

I don't know about Usher's Syndrome; I'll have to look that up. From what I've heard about CRISPR, though, it's a great tool, and I'm glad it's getting a real shot.

Ahh, good ol' "legolas by laura." A classic. ^_^

Sorry about that typo.

Have a pack of cards which may have some magical properties. Or, then again, they may not. I’m... pretty sure they won’t kill you.

Re: Greetings, newbie! by Aeon on 2018-09-13 07:33:00 UTC Reply

*takes cards* Thanks for the greetings! ...that makes me wonder what these do.

I've decided... by Snowblaze on 2018-09-13 13:58:00 UTC Reply

that they're Exploding Snap cards. If you're partially familiar with Harry Potter, you may not know what they are (to be honest, the clue's in the name) so have a handy link: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Exploding_Snap

And be careful!

A pleasure to meet you. /hands over some chocolate bark - specifics are your choice!/

Have you looked at the Constitution, as well? Feel free to comment about on the Board. :>

Nice to meet you as well! Yep, I've given the Constitution a look! And thank you for the chocolates.

I'm actually not sure what else to comment on yet, oops. ^^;
