... how colourful these things can get when you eschew the temptation to overuse Sable.



Per chevron, azure and gules, a chevron Or, in chief a lambda Or and an ibis argent, in base a hash argent.

I think. The two upper charges should fall into the right places that way. An alternate version, drawing on the blazon of the Arms of Transylvania, would be:

Per chevron, azure and gules, a chevron Or addextré of a lambda Or and senestré of an ibis argent, in the base a hash argent.

Note that the hash has previously appeared on the flag of Iric, representing the walls of La Wunj; a related symbol, the La Wunj Gate, appears on the flag of the Diskord.

Congrats! Don't drink cheap vodka.

The heraldry of SIR THOTH, Semi-Competent Wizard Errant, Sometime Archivist's Assistant, and General Nuisance:

D'ya reckon I did alright?

And yeah, I knew the way I laid out the blazon was excessively crude. Thanks for simplifying it.

Eeeeee! hS actually published.

Lessee... I liked this. A lot. It's not my normal fare for PPC missions, and ordinarily I'd say it had a lot of failings (mainly centering on a lack of description of and connection to the actual fic). But those "failings" work here, because they seem to be deliberate decisions made in the name of focus and brevity, and the story is structured appropriately. The result feels unique and (and this is the important part) fun. It really gave me that sorta classic feel—and as a fan of the classic missions, I mean that in the best way possible.

Oh, and spinoff idea.

THE ADVENTURES OF GENERAL POV AND THE WARSHEEP

HAP BIRF!

The Board archives (whose most user-friendly copy is at the altchives) are now current through 12:13 PM Board time this afternoon.

The live Board currently goes back through late March of 2016.

I might come back with stats if I have a moment to compute them (or hS posts his).

but both Hermione and Dumbledore feel rather like themselves (especially since this is third-year Hermione, who isn't as anti-rule breaking as first-year Hermione was).

This is a good character-focused introduction to a fic that will probably never get written.

...a pink sun, or some other quasi-homage to Lichtspeer? Pink spears crossed, maybe, if that's a thing. Lol.

Yeah, you were right to keep the flaunches. Wolf 3D is still a big part of me, albeit in a new way. When I got into Lichtspeer, I noticed that it's basically the opposite of Wolfenstein 3D, and I've explored that idea in a few ways with a concept I call "the holy duality." I find it rather interesting. Anyway, thanks again for the coat of arms!

All credit goes to Delta Juliette! Space Plort needs more love!

(Nothin' against you, Snowblaze. One upside to your response was in fact that it surprised me. Hehe. I am the Board's best resident partial-decoy and I will defend my right to that title. :P)

-Twistey

It's nice to see more of Tiger and get a better insight into his character. I do hope he learns to plan better in the future.

Also, I'd say that the ending feels a bit more like the location of a scene break - I'd expect there to be another bit showing the effects of the attack attempt or something after it.

Have some goodfic!

I haven't read any of his stuff other than I Am Become Death yet, but if that and the TVTropes page are anything to go by, he's a pretty good writer who respects canon. And even if you're not into any of the fandoms he's written about, he can still help you regain some faith in humanity! You'll need it against the endless onslaught of cringe that is the Internet.

I don't really have any significant comments, but it's neat to see Ix helping Charlotte with the problems she's having with the switch to human form.

"Author."

That's a fourth-wall-break and a reference to hS's "Pancakes".

Because I'm not one by my own standards.
