    The lab is freezing cold. Outside is egg-scorching hot. There is no middle ground. WHY IS THERE NO MIDDLE GROUND!?!

    Sounds like you need a break in the wall. By way of explanation, I never could follow a Scottish accent. :supersmile:

    I'm thinking of getting one and gluing ping-pong ball halves to it for my Halloween costume this year. When people ask me what I'm supposed to be, I'll tell them.

    Fallout from a shard-strike causes any combustible fiber to oxidize or ignite. Bio-mesh is the only pliable substance that doesn't form a matrix for the fallout particles.

    Aren't all Cracker Barrels alcohol free? As a businessman I find that morally repugnant and professionally reprehensible.

    Brief Writing Reminder:

    You can't please everyone. Let's take Mishu Jerni, one of my POV characters in my fantasy for an example.

    One person would love to read about a Mishu who is just a regular blind girl in a fantastical universe with magic and otherworldly entities and she has to somehow survive. No chosen-one thing, no Mishu being the face of some army. Just a regular POV character trying to not die as the world implodes around her.

    Another would love to read a Mishu who *is* basically a Toph BeiFong/Daredevil rip-off who leads the charge against said otherworldly entities and kicks all the ass.

    Write what you want to write, and what will make your story work. Don't write to please people. It's a hamster wheel that won't end.

    The world is stressing if you take in all the good and the bad, I find.

    If a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun...
    then I guess this guy is the good guy with artillery? o_O
    Suppose he stops criminals at range, in the next town over? o_O
