    I recall the author mentioning that when I read the fic. She didn't seem very happy about it. Understandable, as I don't think I can enumerate every fetish that aspect of the Viera alone hits (much less any other aspects), since it might hit some that I've never heard of. Also, enumerating the fetishes might not be appropriate for the SFW subforum.

    Oh, no argument there. I was giving the 'evolution' thing a sarcastic callout (And have changed the smiley to 'eyeroll' to make that clearer.)

    Honestly, the best part about the way Harvey got improved? He was told that every word uttered would add half an inch to his package, and he was confident enough in himself to only utter the one word instead of getting multiple inches added on.

    Main OL is on good terms with the Bullock in his universe, so this is apparently a different OL hopping to a different universe.
    I find the idea of a handsome Bullock hillarious. I wanna see where that goes.

    Paul has never before acted so much like a god.
    Poor Bullock. He will be lucky to not get arrested for identity theft after that transformation.

    While the update was entertaining the fact it comes out of nowhere and has a horrible-to-read colour rather detracts from it.

    I believe it's "part 4a" because it's based off of Chapter 4 of the fan fiction it's a "crossover" with.

    This seems to be a cross over with a fanfic called I just want to see you Smile.
    https://forums.spacebattles.com/thr...tern-si-non-standard-teal-ring.340678/reader/
    A very fun fic with a OC SI character.
    If I recall correctly there is Teal-Joy Gold-Pride then Brown which I think was boredom then selfishness and I am not sure what else.

    Lovin this chapter Mr Zoat.

    Yes. If if recall correctly, it's a codified legal definition that started in the 1860's in England, and was shortly thereafter (in legal terms) adopted by the USA.

    See https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=4150d305-9064-431f-97e2-21502528234b for further information.

    Edit: As for why it's named in French, historically the English have a love/hate relationship with the French which someone else who may understand it better should probably explain.

    He wanted him to go away, but wasn't prepared to hurt him. Giving him involuntary aid helped make his point.

    I feel like that was an extreme most people wouldn't go to or think of so yeah that sounds like OL logic to me.

    I caught this story about three years ago and I've been following it every day ever since; WTR has a dedicated, pinned tab in my browser and has for awhile now. I like stories. I've read hundreds of books by now (Granted, mostly sci-fi and fantasy but other stuff here and there as well) and few have engaged me consistently for as long as this one has.

    With that said, I've considered writing something about a character with a ring but I've been at odds about it for several months now, unable to decide whether or not to do it since this is kind of Zoat's thing. If I were to take a stab at it I think I would do it in a non-DC based universe, though not necessarily a canon franchise as seems to be the theme in this story. Also I'm bad at consistently updating things, haha.

    So, it's an open question to all; think I should go for it, or would it come across as just a ripoff or something?

    To amswer the questions that may exist about my own SI that is apparently now guest staring here.

    1) She has no idea about his SI because of lack of setting knowledge. She has general DC knowledge, not YJ specific.

    2) She is a very Neutral Good character. She won't break the law if she doesn't have to, as that causes more problems and issues than needed and just isn't an efficient way to go about making things better in the long run.

    3) She very very much disagrees with him, and when she said "you're not as crazy as I expected" it was not a compliment. The crazy amount is higher.

    4) I was not consulted about this at all and so haven't had any imput on how this version of Vanilla will act but I'm sharing original creator insight.

    Go ahead, plenty of people have done exactly the same and all of the ones I've read have been at least entertaining, and if you really want to do it no one's stopping you.

    Hell, Zoat's actually fallowed at least some of 'em in the past, so I don't think he minds all that much.

    It is hilarious to complain about someone else using your character when writing about a universe someone else owns.

    Last I checked, neither Zoat or this creator asked permission from Warner Bros. Nor should they imo. Art is art and people should ne allowed to tell the story they want. Especially if they arent profiting off of it.

    Even moreso because this character was created as a YJ SI lantern. That concept sounds familiar.

    I suppose it would since Zoat began his story in 2013 and the one you're talking about began in 2015 according to the timestamps on the link in this thread to the teal lantern story. Noooot quite the slam dunk you probably thought that was. Also, said author has already shown up in this thread and is perfectly capable of being offended on their own behalf, you know.

    EDIT: nevermind

    I was speaking in favor of Zoat. As far as I am aware he is the progenitor of Lantern SI fics, YJ Lantern fics in particular.
