One complaint I have is that it's not really clear whether Zeb is Luxray-shaped or human-shaped during this, since it seems like the text supports both possibilities.

I'm overall liking how this set of stories is coming along.

I don't have much in the way of a detailed review, unfortunately, but I figured it was at least a good idea to let you know someone had read this.

If you haven't played Fall of Cybertron, not only is it an excellent Transformers game, it's a great game in general. Reason I bring it up is because it's a third-person shooter where at the push of a button you can swap perspective from over the left shoulder to over the right, or back again, allowing you to make creative use as cover while at the same time technically allowing all the characters to be left-handed in the game's continuity. (Ugh, whyyyy did they have to shoehorn Bayformers into the sequel rather than keep going with the Aligned continuity...>()

1) "DELL-ta JU-lee-Ett". Emphasis on the first word can flip to an exasperated "dell-TAAAAAA" if necessary.

I... really was hoping people would take it in the more mathematical reading of "Δ Juliette" and shorten it from there to "Juliette", but such was not to be.

2) Tallish, slender-ish, has dark hair but keeps ending up dying it lighter. Wears flannel and hiking boots, but in a femme way. There's a whole video, if you're okay with corporate PR blogs

3) In no particular order- I'm an engineer, a nerd, used the internet before the invention of HTML (Dialing into the library server with telnet!), a currently-grounded aerialist, and occasionally rather unhappy about the lack of left-handed player characters in video games.

No time to sit down and read it, but I didn't see any mention of him "marrying" Aguella. There is one sequence where they're flying together, and Aguella starts shedding "mones" (pheromones, I assume) to attract him, but there's no sign of a formal ceremony or anything.

"Marriage" is used directly with the Andalite woman later, though. Literally the whole paragraph is, "I married." Since the entire Chronicles is framed as the Ellimist telling a human character his life story, it's possible he's using an English term there for ease of understanding. Or that he picked up the term itself, or a translation of it, from one of the many cultures he encountered over the millennia, but didn't use it during the Ket portion of the story because it hadn't been a meaningful term to him during that point in his life.

I didn't specifically remember the plot of The Other offhand, but for some reason when you named it, some part of my brain went, "Is that the one with the bees?" And sure enough, when I pulled #40 off the shelf, there's Marco turning into a bee. Funny what our brain decides to catalog for decades, isn't it?

Anyway, glancing through that book, it looks like Gafinilan and Mertil had attended the, um. Andalite training academy? Together. And when Ax, being prejudiced, asks why Gafinilan is willing to trade a healthy Andalite for a "cripple," Gafinilan replies:

For me . . . it is not about traitorous action to my world. For me, it is personal. It is about friendship.

If that word-of-god homosexuality was intended from the time of writing, rather than just an after-the-fact decision, then the above "friendship" may have been code for getting the true extent of the relationship across in a YA series in the 90s without calling down the ire of the homophobes.

—doctorlit apologizes for tardy reply, it's been a tiring week

Gall cares about her dragon, and Derik likes dragons, and misses his dragon and...

Yeah, I was being deliberately awful with that.

Okay, so there is an occasion where Gall uses the disguise generator to turn him human for a mission, but that mission isn't even finished yet, let alone published!

Put Gremlin in there instead. She's in a canonical relationship with her partner Xericka, but she's bi, so at least that much makes sense. {X D

(I think you spelled everything right!)

I don't think I should take on a new project until I knock one or two current ones off my docket, but that sounds fun. ^_^

As for canonical plans, Jenni is in a relationship with Suicide until at least 2019, because I consider that one TYH story canon and oh god that's next year, 2019 is only three months away, where did the time go, aaaaah!

Ahem. Point is, they're not the exclusive, 'til death do us part type, either of them, and sometimes they're on the rocks for one reason or another (but we all know it's Su's fault), so I reckon that leaves plenty of room for random interludes on the side. Reckon that goes for Jacques, too? {= )

~Neshomeh

Lemme see if I can pull this off. Right, starting from one character, as many as possible, no canon ships allowed, some kind of logic to the madness...

My apologies to anyone whose names have been misspelled...

...wasn't she with Nume??

................JACQUES/NUME/JENNI AMIRIGHT OR AMIRIGHT

((And I'm going to blame this squarely on you :P Though also on me, I suppose--I'm the one who decided a while back that he does still sometimes go to FicPsych, even after having done the initial work to become a balanced person/figure out more of who he is.

...I'm going to dare to suggest an interlude. I'm feeling daring. Also caught by the idea, which seriously just figures--I'm great at getting hooked by ideas, even if it doesn't always last. And, of course, the danger of writing Jacques is that he ships himself with everyone--so at some points you end up doing it too. Even when it goes against your actual canonical plans. He's a menace.

Anyway--how about it? :)

~Z))

Jacques/Jenni. I mean, duh. Come on!

Or, if you wanna make it really fun, Jacques/Jenni/Luxury. If you want crack shipping, but also want to make it marginally plausible, this is the team you want!

(( I'm not sorry. {; P ))

Eww, they so don't belong together!! Zeb/Dawn OTP 5ever!!!!! And Jacques/Luxury or Jacques/Dax or

No I've got it

Jacques/Nume!!! lol they'd be great together don't u think??

Alas Nahnkek here.

The code for linking something looks like <a href="http://www.link-goes-here.com">this</a>; the code for embedding an images looks like this: <img src="http://www.link-to-image.com"/>

You'll need to host your image somewhere online; I use Imgur these days, so this code:

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/BtfBUVj.png"/>

Gives this:



You're absolutely right that this should be in the Board FAQ; I think I can throw something together.

Just realised that the time stamps are US. Nearly 10 pm here and I was scratching my head, not enough caffeine.

Reiteration on the idiot thing.

I'm sorry for being an idiot, but I just can't figure out how to put pictures on here or link them. (And yes, I've looked at the FAQ: The Board and even the host site.)
Please help this idiot.

One overall thing I noticed is that y'all've done a good job keeping folks dialogue distinct (sure, Gremlin and Gall are the most similar, but Gall's a bit more slangy and informal, is the impression I got).

Especially with ambitious, large-scale projects. I'm honestly more surprised when they work out, if that's any comfort at all. I'm sure nobody is really angry or anything. *hugs?*

~Neshomeh

Like I don't know why you'd dedicate that to me I mean it's like animal sex!! That's just gross!

Dedicate some hot gay Jacques/Zeb smut to me, please k and thank you. And you know Zeb is totes the uke in his relationships.

((...GMA. I love you so much for this. It's awful and it's amazing.))

At long last, it's here! Sorry this took so long, I had to do a lot of research for it to make sure I got everything right. Thanks to LemonyEggnog for the concrit on Part II, by the way!

I promise there won't be nearly as long of a wait before the next one, since I've had that planned out first ;)

Part III (NSFW)


((Neshomeh, I am sorry. Just not sorry enough to not write this awful thing :-D))
