You shut up too.

In fact, you probably shouldn't have joined in the argument at all, because that would be the only way to avoid your double-standarded-ness! Hah! Logic is on my side!

...get my reference?

No?)

(No offense taken. ;P

The voting is now closed. With 22 of the 26 counted votes, the community overwhelmingly votes to Permanently Ban zdimensia/Bramandin/TooPurple. The ban goes into effect immediately. Functionally, this means that they are banned from all PPC spaces, Permission is revoked, and all stories that they wrote when they had Permission become Out-of-Continuity.

In the interest of record keeping, the final tally is as follows.

I do not think that a temporary ban would solve the issue, but I do not feel comfortable voting for a Permaban.

I kinda feel like the entirety of Fall Out Boy's album "Save Rock and Roll" works as a soundtrack for a story about supervillains, especially if you make The Phoenix the opening track and Young Volcanoes the end credits theme.

Also Rob Zombie. Most of his stuff obviously works for horror stories. Living Dead Girl is actually pretty great for a Vampire the Masquerade story about a Samedi lady. Or a Sabbat lady.

Uh. Is there someone who can edit my post to fix the italics? Apparently I used forward slash instead of backslash

Apparently the real author of My Immortal, Rose Christo, is a pretty great author now. I recommend looking her up on Amazon, and especially checking out her books, especially Why the Star Stands Still and her memoir Under the Same Stars. I would recommend the Suddenly Space Pirates series as well, but I just looked and it seems to be out of print sadly.

I loev that my OCs are in this, like Terry Pratchett. OTOH, my OCs are in an OFU. I do not know howto feel...

(( Funny story: I read the previous chapter with links in it right after coming across a weird site redirect that made me think I had a trojan, the description of which suggested random links were another symptom to watch out for. After thoroughly checking my computer, I realized they only showed up in that post, and then I got the joke. ^_^; Srsly, those shoes tho. Those could blind someone. ~Neshomeh ))

I always thought The Offspring's "You're Gonna Go Far Kid" matched the first Mistborn novel pretty well. I may be crazy.

In news for Twistey and any programmers in the audience, Fabien Sanglard has just released his Black Book of Wolf3D. So if you ever wanted to peer into the guts of Wolfie, you at least have a flashlight to do it with now. Given, this was not a book written for The Rest of Us by any means. I would suggest downloading the preview first to see if you can read it. I, for one, am very intimidated and doubt I will be able to...

You dont imagine ho ard it iz tou find pipol hou laïke storiz end séi it, not laïke this bad gai hou commented before. A'll trai tou fink eubaout eu sikouel leiteur, promiz!

P.S.: je suis francai, pas japonnais.

Today marks the 78th anniversary of the Battle of Wizna where the Polish Army held out against the might of the Wehrmarcht for three days in what is sometimes called the Polish Thermopylae.

The Polish soldiers were outnumbered well over 40:1 and they held on until they ran out of ammunition.

Always remember a fallen soldier. Always remember fathers and sons at war.

...I vote permaban. Because there's no fixing this situation with any amount of excusemongering, let's get that right.

Talullah Greenslevs still belongs to JayBird!!

I wanted to cry while Tallullah was helping me into my wedding dress. but that would ruin my makeup so I held it in.

My dress was twenty lairs of tulle and satin and the top of it was covered in lots of diamonds so I shone whenever I moved! My makeup was blue and green and gold and matched my eyes perfectly.

My hair was braided in lots of fancy braids and I was wearing my white diamond and white gold elvish tiara that matched my gown.

It was going to be my special day~

"Jess you look perfect!", Talullah said happily and hugged me.

"You look good too", I said. She was wearing a pink one sleeve and rinestone gown that matched my boqet of pink roses.

My gown was old, it was Selenes aka moms which that I fit into perfectly. And the tiara was new my father Elrond had it made for my coronation as princess of Rivendel when I turned 16. My makeup was blue and my sparkly rainbow diamond shoes were borrowed from tallullah who had over 200 pairs. She was wearing pink strappy heels with a bow on the side.

We hugged and laughed and talked about the honeymood. Numie and mewere going to go to a private tropical island his parents who were very rich owned.

Then I heard the music start and I almost fainted I was so nervous and excited!

AN: OMG Can you believe the big day is finally happening?!?! Me neither!!! I hope u guys liked the pics of the wedding!

Reading the article, there's a lot of 'obviously's, and no evidence. This is the picture that accompanies the article, which purports to interpret two (uncited!) lines of Voynich script. In order to do so, he's separated out the lines, and then freely interpreted the imagined letters as Latin shorthand.

He's also interpreting the same symbol as multiple different words. Check out the one that looks like a swirly comma (last character in the first row on the image); in the first two words of the last line, that is interpreted as both 'cum' and 'con', interpreted as cum and confundo. Remarkable!

Furthermore, he interprets ~80 characters as representing ~54 Latin words; he's extrapolating 'Aromaticus' from 'AR' (which doesn't look a thing like 'AR'); and his numbers would make the entire manuscript well over a hundred thousand words, all written in illegible shorthand. A shorthand that uses a mere 25 characters to convey... well, according to the sample, the same words over and over. I suppose that's fair. De radicus seminis ana J, indeed.

Nah. Call me again when it's peer-reviewed rather than appearing in the Times Literary Supplement.

-My Immortal is a complex, layered and meta work of art with a sentimental backstory.
-The Voynich Manuscript is a...plagiarized medieval gynecology book, pretty much.

Welcome to 2017, folks.

Yeah, it was really more fun not knowing. I mean, I am all for the pursuit of knowledge, but the mystery was far more engaging than the solution.

Anyone up for playing a game of Voynich, as proposed by hS?

Kitty Eden posted this in the chat last night.

The Voynich Manuscripts?

Solved.
