Is there any canon middle name for Taylor? Because I'm not finding one.

People usually use Anne I think. Nobody will really care though. TVTropes doesn't list anything at all, so I say go with whatever you want.

*edit* Alternatively, Zack somehow arranged to have it changed, legally, before they departed US citizenship to something suitably entertaining, and Taylor hasn't found out yet.

I have no problem with this interpretation of Sophia.

The only thing that's missing, really, is "Fuck, she's going to grow her arm back?" as Sophia realises that she took her best shot, lost some fingers, and still didn't make a dent on Emma.

But hey, she still took a Reason You Suck speech, and ended up in a screaming meltdown, so there's that.

Actually, I'm not completely happy with the ending of the chapter. I'll probably work that in. And I want Sophia to get a good verbal crack in as well. It kinda seems unfair for her to not get *some* kind of hurt on Emma. I defend the rest of my interpretation and how it went down, but the psycho bitch deserves a slightly better sendoff than I gave her.

Honestly, I have to agree with what was already said about Sophia being a simple character that people like to make overly complex, either trying to make her sympathetic or monstrous.

Yeah, pretty much. I might have put the effort in to create a fanon persona to make her, y'know, at least two dimensional... but that's a lot of work for a character who won't be shown again in this story in any significant fashion. So I treat her as Wildbow treated her. A plot device for a more important character's development.

(SPOILER ALERT: She's a coward. She's not gonna fuck with Pantheon in the future. If nothing else, she's seen what a single outdated Dragon ship can do. That's all she needs to know.)

Sans WoG, I was going to go with Annette- mostly on the logic that humans sounding out a full name will favor six syllables over five... human brain patterns at work.

Also... Wildbow has a fetish for "Anne" and its variants as names.

Yay,maybe this one will actually solve world peace,Sophia has a natural talent for turning everything she touches in to shit.but underneath all of that foul stench and muck,there is gold. she's a modern retelling of Pandora's box,except Sophia let out the worse of all evils...Hope.

Just fucking spoil the story. Most of us were only reading it to find out what happens to her!

Strange thing is... I'm actually a little curious to find out what her final reaction to Scion and how people end up dealing with him will be, considering the end of canon. Things aren't quite the same here after all, though I still think you probably wont care enough about her to give her any more screen time.

That's her mom's. And that's at least been in a fanfic or two. But I can't find it in canon.

Eh, can't promise I won't give her five seconds of Epilogue screen time.
 
Might be, but I can't find it.

Then again, with 1.5 million words, why would that surprise me?

Requirements for wielding that middle name: being badass enough to pull off this song as your entrance music.

...and Taylor passes that test with flying colors. Long live Taylor Danger Hebert.

(Speaking of extremely metal things, Taylor's wedding dress should be made out of Quetzelcoatl's scales. Because Amelia likes it when Taylor wears bright colors! Also, all of the Saruman jokes.)

Wheee timeskip.

Uh requests...? Umm...

Another MissyxTheoxClarice date? Swingin' w/ Sveta? Suit Shoppin' w/ Dinah?

Most of the other stuff that comes to mind are things I assume you're getting to or involve begging for happy endings (both kinds!).

Pfft, just ignore me then. I told you that to start with, even if I couldn't remember where I'd gotten it from, or provide any example other than 'other fanfics', and actually told you to just use whatever you want.

... Probably good reasons to ignore me :p

Sounds like canon. S9k here we come!

Wait a second... Riley could probably get access to whatever DNA she'd need to do it. Sure, she'd dodge Jack and the other complete psychopaths (... I mean, comparatively of course) but bring back Siberian (who is blatantly broken enough for their desires) and maybe others that could help a little.

Random question: What's happened to Canary? Dragon never agreed with her being in the Birdcage and her restrictions have been changing (as well as her allegiance and other things).

ONE request. ONE.

Sveta sounds fun, though. Been forever since she's been showcased. Maybe she and Vicky can have a girls' night out. Hmm.

I'll probably do a chapter for Canary. Sounds interesting.


They're not doing the S9K thing. For one, they don't see it as valuable enough. Even Siberian would only be able to inflict an injury once. Then Scion adapts and she's no longer effective. It won't be enough of an injury to make the difference, and it's not worth creating a living person just to turn it into a slave and afflicting it with horrible cobbled together half-memories.

Sure, armies of Siberian Clones would be fucking awesome against basically anything else. But they have armies of zerg that are almost as good.

Besides, Cauldron already gave Manton's corpse to Glaistig Uaine. Because why the fuck not?


Oh, and I edited the Sophia chapter. The ending went from two lines to two paragraphs and I think it looks soooo much better now.

I thought Siberian had one of those powers that was just 'effective, whatever'. I mean, the projection stood inside Scion for at least a couple of seconds whilst he was busy being emo. It's not an overly useful thing, but it's making him burn energy/lifeforce/whatever. I can't actually remember what his response to that was though.

But the projection's ability to make whatever (virtually) it touches just as bullshit as it is is a great defense... again, I can't remember how well this held up to Scion... Sorry.

Still, if you've written Manton out, I'm fine with that.

Well, there's the five seconds of screen time you said you were thinking of. Five seconds to leap through a wall and be utterly roflstomped. If they let her get that far.

As with all things, it stopped working shortly. The Khepri strategy was to chain hit him with too many random variables for him to adapt. They have that plan already- it's called Dragon Unchained.

GU will have it. If one's not enough, then another hundred wouldn't be enough.

Remember- right now Pantheon and Cauldron are chasing different goals. Cauldron's focused on the grail of an unlimited power. That, now, is Eidolon, Glaistig, and a bunch of fucking Endbringers. Plus an army of capes. Plus the new world of power augmenting armor and power interactions.

Pantheon's hope is to crack the dimensional barricade via Power Interaction or Augmentation. Walk into whatever world Scion's resting on. And then blow him the fuck up.

I kinda dropped that in there as a hopeful prompt for someone to omake/fanfic my fanfic. It's yet to happen.

Fair enough. Does mean I have to delay a chapter a little.

And yeah, I didn't figure Sophia to be that *clever*, but she can certainly spot how strange Emma is and go for that kind of generic attack. She knows her pretty well, after all.
