The plot intensifies.

Honestly though, the idea of princess mothering children is a very curious and amusing one.

What's this talk about loving Anastasia without me around!?

I wouldn't call it a story. Now don't get me wrong, I do think it is a nicely written piece, but it having just a scene makes me unable to call it a story. Keep it up.

Hey there. I joined in 2008, forgot the impetus. I was a student back then, I still am, though the level has changed somewhat. I mainly lurk these days but I've never left the forum, I don't foresee myself doing so in the near future but only time can tell.

yet to be decided honestly

Over ear. And some Sony i tried have been underwhelming, any specific models you have in mind?

If you mean the ctfg one, here.

Or if you want to read my works, that would be a lot more awesome. But then I doubt you'd spend that much time aha.

Probably not my reader.

Not much. Just wondering if people would contribute to my thread!

Akanboo is around. Wut.

Still waiting...

Ah right. Why did I never thought of such a strategy before? The suggestions are nice enough too.

Alright, Earth and Wind, get. I'll be filling the blanks later on, but suggestions are always welcome.

Nope, you gave the idea of making it individual. I would like to, but my arsenal doesn't look like it contains seven non-redundant and still nice sounding words to do it individually.

So, I am accepting suggestions.

The main problem with both suggestions is that they're redundant. It's light, of course it's radiant. And things like that.

So coming up with different titles for all the Trials will be hard if I want to also keep them all... idk, fresh.

Here's the full list (may or may not be to order, I haven't decided). Not really a spoiler, I said in part 12 it's all elemental.

Earth
Wind
Water
Fire
Dark
Light
Thunder

I think the place where the Trial is set already conveys the fact that it's not just earthquakes etc.

But your idea gave me another: what if I assign it individually for each? Earth's Grace, Flare's Wrath etc...

The downside? It's a huge pain. And in many cases, a lot gayer. Light's Shine? Eww.



I definitely agree with you, however I value accessibility a lot. I like it when people follow this particular work for what it is and I think the plot is the central point here. If I write it more abstruse than it is (okay, not that I can) then it'll be nigh unreadable.

Plain language is therefore the best choice I can see.

Hmm. None really fits, they all seem too skewed one direction or the other to be adequately neutral. Except for essence, but that sounds rather gay...

Actually, yep, that gayness is probably what I'm looking for. Essence it is.

Hmm...

Dedication is out. Ditto absolution. Benediction too.

Grace feels off, but I can't pin down why. And consecration, the meaning goes well I think, but holy damn that does sound friggin' arcane. Somehow it'd feel off, since the language of TSK is overall plain?

Wait, thinking more about the meaning, consecration is sorta off too. It feels a little too authoritarian, which isn't what I want to convey through the Trials. Grace suddenly feels like it'd fit better, but...

Earth's Grace vs. Earth's Blessing (and Fire etc)

Hard to decide which sounds better.

Edit: Besides, I'm not d! (or insert any other fancy Fakku Writers: Jerry, Xnine...) I live totally in the realm of plain men!

Other than gift, none sounds suitable. And gift isnt arcane.

Maybe you need to read on to get the context.

Don't get me started on the graduation struggles, I have a lot to bitch about.

The new job hunt goes relatively fine.

While part 17 goes slow but smooth. As usual hehehe.

EDIT:

Guys, know any more arcane form of the word blessing? I wanna use it for those that pass the Trials; Earth's Blessing etc.
