1. Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.

  2. For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
    Dismiss Notice
  3. Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
    Dismiss Notice
  4. If you wish to change your username, please ask via conversation to tehelgee instead of asking via my profile. I'd like to not clutter it up with such requests.

    This is... umm. "Id," "Ego," and "Superego" aren't real things in psychology. Nobody competent is going to say anything like that in an assessment, and putting that line in there breaks SoD rather strongly.

    Beyond that... well, it's a concept. I'll see where you're going with it before commenting further.

    Why is she calling Danny Daniel? At first I thought she was in a bad place in her relationship with him but they seem fine. Better than canon even.

    Interesting (and I caught the slight AU with Canary going for a retrial) but you seem to have problems with third-person pronouns becoming first-person.

    Also, interesting Master power. Total control of one person, access to their active thought process while doing it, and mental invisibility. Regent will be supplanting Clockblocker in screaming "BULLSHIT!" to the skies.

    It occurs to me that the means by which Taylor locates the subjects she controls hasn't been made explicit. If she can sense people in a two block radius, even if she only can control and mind-read one at a time, that's a decent thinker power on its own merits.

    If Taylor has to see the person, OTOH, that's a serious limitation that'll push her closer to the frontlines. Also, can she implant commands to be followed later or is all her control instantaneous?

    Wouldn't be surprised if she mastered him, that Daniel is both a persona and a way to distance her current father with the depressed houseplant Danny was.
