    Factory Reset (a Celestial Forge story)

    Promising start! Way too many SI/OC Worm fanfics end up following similar story beats due to character meta-knowledge, so it's nice to see that cut off.

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Yes, I agree it is in fact plausible that Theo could have rejected his parents' racist beliefs and nonetheless never developed or encountered any good logical arguments against them. And there are surely plausible reasons in terms of his thought processes why he wouldn't have presented Taylor...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Jesus christ, man, is it too much to ask that an actual anti-racist character who's broken away from a racist upbringing would actually have well-thought-out points? Look some up online if you can't think of any. I'm willing to tolerate a lot in the service of an interesting power exploration...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    There are people out there who will raise execrable ideas with the stated intent of mocking them, but make that mockery so subtle that you have to wonder at their true intentions. And sometimes those people will ultimately confess that mockery was never their actual goal. In this case, though...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    The problem is the juxtaposition of describing this kind of behavior by others with never actually seeing the Nazis themselves doing anything bad. They say nasty racist shit, but the narrator's attitude is always, "oh, this is wrong but maybe also sort of justified" and we never see them...

    Rise of the Phoenix King (Shadowrun/Exalted)

    Well, that's distinctly odd. It raises the question: has Keona's mother forgotten he was missing, or is there a Keona who's not actually missing?

    Rise of the Phoenix King (Shadowrun/Exalted)

    I was not expecting that twist. It does make some sense in retrospect, though—Tabatha's abuse of her son was almost too flawlessly competent.

    Rise of the Phoenix King (Shadowrun/Exalted)

    I liked this chapter a lot. The pacing seemed good; the flow from scene to scene made sense. I like that the characters seem to be reacting to something earth-shatteringly strange by putting it in the context of things they know and treating it merely as highly strange. "Physical adept + mage...

    Rise of the Phoenix King (Shadowrun/Exalted)

    Very nice twist at the end there. I'm extremely excited for the next chapter.

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    My interpretation here is that the link to the familiar is reflected in the Familiar Background. Since using it on a new animal removes any pre-existing Familiar Background, that means doing so drops the connection to any previous familiar entirely. Unclear whether any upgrades to the old...

    Rise of the Phoenix King (Shadowrun/Exalted)

    I don't know much about Shadowrun, and I have no idea how 3e Exalted differs from any earlier version, but I can still say this is really good.
