Re: "old people" in fandoms/gaming: My 1st video game was Pong. My generation literally created gaming. I still write fanfic & enjoy the art of others. Why? Because I CAN. So, children - don't give up what you love over some BS notion of immaturity. Life is literally too short.

I hope everyone realizes how truly rare it is for any writer no matter how "big", to get this type of "feedback". This woman deserves every cheer, every standing ovation, and all the applause. IMO, she has written the best piece of entertainment I have ever experienced.

Hey #ffxiv peeps: I'm starting to notice a significant increase in sprouts. This is great, but it's also a good reminder to be patient and show them the ropes. Many of them may be like I was, new to gaming or MMOs on the whole. Be who you'd want to meet if you were them.

1/2 #FFXIV SPOILERS re: Aglaia & Euphrosyne - So, if the prayers of the faithful causes dynamis to alter the forms of the 12, then it's easy to understand why Halone isn't the awful, unmerciful, spiteful hag Thordan and the Church professed her to be. They were the minority.

I know people who are going to be all "but but but" - however I firmly believe there's a BIG difference in using 3rd party tools for accessibility/posing, etc. Why? Because giving your character nice tits for personal enjoyment doesn't give you shiny weapons in game. BIG diff.

As someone who is older, and hopefully wise, I know that ALL stories are derived from stories previously told. The roots are the same. So if another person gave their character a similar tale, that's because the roots led them there. I'm not threatened by that. I celebrate it.

Does anyone ever get a little panicked when they see someone else’s WoL with a similar concept you gave your own, because you’re worried you might get accused of ripping that person off? I know that’s an irrational fear, but just curious.
