Welcome! Here, have a 'tpyo' you'll see plenty of them in this line of work!

Excellent news, HFA is brilliant!
Sorry I can't help with beta-ing though.

I'm watching the subs every week, and I love it. I'd wait for the dub, a) I'm extremely impatient, b) I like having a week to wait between eps to think and come up with theories and c) I don't know how long it'll take to come over to Britain, and as far as I'm aware, there's no longer any channel that airs anime (unless you count the half-hour ads on Nick and the butchery that is the Jetix version of Naruto WTF on taking out all the weapons and blood?!).

Another HFA chapter? That's awesome! I've read the first HFA and loved it (*bows to you*), but I haven't quite gotten around to reading the other one. I will read it, though, when I get a chance. (I can't help with the beta thing, sorry. I don't read manga that much.)

Thanks so much! It's nice to come out of my cave and be greeted with such enthusiasm. ^_^

Thanks!

(I feel really old now; didn't we used to hit people with bats when the arrived? *is old*)

Is anyone else still around from the old days?

Yeah, I got into the series this past May and now I'm writing fic. I'm excited to watch Brotherhood, but I want to wait until it's fully out and dubbed so I can enjoy it in one go.

Also a Mark I K-9!

but I'm pretty sure that there isn't a command word for a given type of magic items, only a potentially different one for each magic item. [i]Shirak[/i] is used in the Dragonlance books for a magical light spell, which seems a good one to try, but I don't have any forgotten realms books to check for such things in those.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's a couple continuums. Power drainers and neural disruption collars would probably work just fine, though.
The Covenant do use Antimatter charges, though.
*checks Halo wiki* But you're right, I stand corrected. No antimatter rifles. I must have been thinking anti-material.

So, one of my Agents recently laid hands on some everbright arrows courtesy of an RP. Only the person I was RPing with, who knows said 'verse, decided to refuse to tell me the word to activate said arrows to make them flash. (She was in wind-up mode.) So, if anyone knows... tell me? Please?

Oh, woooow. I seriously loved HFA. *bowage*

It's fantastic to be able to say hi to you. :D

In addition to the fact that I don't recall halo having antimatter weaponry, thus causing a bit of a problem, antimatter weaponry is not known for being good against shields.

If you're willing to go for extra-canonical stuff, some continuums have specialized anti-shield weaponry. Failing that, just go for the plasma guns.

*scurries off to read*

I'd offer to beta, but I'm not really up-to-date on mangaverse right now. Alas, I am one of those heathens who has only watched the anime. One who needs to stop checking her favourite sub groups homepage every ten minutes for this week's offering, at that.

Umm... Hello?

I've, uh, decided to finish HFA. And write fic again. I have an offering and a request, and I thought this might be the good place to look.

Offering:
New HFA chapter: The Last Canon Shift. Please don't kill me?

Request:
I need a beta-reader for a FullMetal Alchemist fanfic. It's complete, but I've never written in that fandom before and I'd like some eyes on it before I post. It's Roy/Riza, manga-based, probably PG-13. Anyone up for that?

Happy belated birthday!
Anyway, I just suck at writing lyrics, and I say that without any regret. Every so often I go back and read what I wrote for my Redwall fanfic, and every time I do it makes me wince something terrible.

... I've only been a non-teen for a fortnight or so (I turned twenty on the 17th), so close enough, and I was a teen while I was reading them for the first time ^_^ I just got the seventh book out of the eight in the series ("Son of Spellsinger") with my birthday money. Yay!

Y'know, it's fun to see if one can come up with songs which would be suitable for casting certain spells. I gotta admit I'm not good at that because most of my favourite songs are by the Decemberists, who mostly do songs about gory deaths or the hard lives of the poor or tragic love or similar fun topics, all set to inappropriately happy tunes. (For example, "The Chimbley Sweep" has the catchiest tune ever but the lyrics are really depressing - I'm still wondering whether it's actually supposed to be about an underage male prostitute, because the last verse sure sounds like it, but they're still depressing even if it isn't.) Most of them wouldn't be much use for spell casting. I'd particularly struggle at the points in the later books when Jon-Tom tries to conjure up a boat, because all the songs I know about boats and ships involve them sinking ...

*raised eyebrow* Everything a growing teen needs (no, I don't know how old you are, so forgive me if you're not a teen).
Well, I ordered the first book from paperbackswap, so I should be getting it and reading it in a week or so, I hope.

Awesome! Someone who'll actually get it when I start having problems with Sangheili naming conventions!

Well... time is relative. In a Sue world I guess that would actually be plausible. Especially considering time passes slower for Spartans due to their incredibly heightened reflexes.
Of course, I'd still rather have an anti-matter rifle.

*suddenly remembers semi-bad physics grade* Maybe because it's a Sue weapon and likes slow motion sequences? Right, right, that's a stupid answer. I don't know. You win. I guess it has no boundaries.

I meant there, not their

A birthday! Will their be cake?
