WOTM #2: Short Story Voting

My vote goes out to Thursdays, Entry #3.

Microreviews:

#1

- Although it's well written, I find it a bit hard to connect to the character in question due to not having agoraphobia myself. At least I'm assuming that's what she has? Aside from that, there are some things here and there that I don't really know if I like them or not. For example, some of the written 'sound effects', along with what seems to be a spoken laugh and a spoken sigh. Those feel a bit weird to me.

#2

: There are several typoes and wrong usage of similiar words in this one, along with some strange grammar choices here and there. Also, what the hell happened to Itta in the first place? Her 'soul was forced back into her body' after being killed by a bandit, but who did this? Who is the pale white guy? And why is she suddenly so ridiculously powerful?

#3

: My favourite, and the one I voted for. It's a bit short compared to the rest, but it has everything it needs to be complete. In addition, I find it far easier toconnect with the character because I have found myself in a similiar situation. The only real fault I can find with it is that, if you read over the point where it says that '[the main character] had just turned eightteen' -- which I did --, it's a bit confusing when the girl in question has apparently already been in school 'for the last twelve years of [her] life'. I thought she was 8-10 or something XD

Writer of the Month #2: Flash Fiction Voting

My vote goes to W4, the first entry. What despair must being forced to use IE bring! I can't even imagine how horrible that must be D:

...No, seriously though, I vote for W4.

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Thanks, guys. I'll promise not to make a nuisance out of myself ^_^.

To tell the truth, I would've loved to join this thing. Sadly, time constriction make it so that that won't happen in the forseeable future -- if this RP is/was still open to begin with. I don't see a 'Closed' notice anywhere, so I'm assuming it's still open? Anyway, I simply do not have enough time to make a daliy post, something which seems to be a requirement judging by some other recent OoC posts? Of course, I could be completely wrong about that too...

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

So... Do you guys allow guests/'stalkers' to roam in the OoC thread? Assuming, of course, that they behave themselves :P.

Understandable.Not everyone's workaholic enough to post through pain, swelling and countless pills, like me. ...It's probably not healthy to be me.

Oh, if only curative magic actually existed in real life, eh? Or, for that matter, if only any and all health problems could be cured by taking a nap :P.

Cosplay Conversion [continued]

Sorry for my lack of postage lately. Busy life has been busy >_<.

So... I'm assuming that the "despair" bit in the first entry is from having to use IE? :trollface:

Welcome Back to the Guild

Leon left the room, holding the door open for GM to follow him into the hallway. Of course, the fact that it was in the middle of the night made walking around a lot harder, mostly due to it being very dark around. Seriously, did nobody ever hear of electricty or other forms of lighting in this place? This was supposed to be an incredibly advanced magical university/floating island, yet they had no provisions for people who want to go out late at night? That was just lame.
On the other hand, this same lack of lighting allowed them to see the now-obvious beams of light coming from rooms with another source of light than just windows. One of the two was GM's still-running laptop in the room Leon was sleeping in minutes later. The other came from a half-opened door down the hallway, oddly flickering and pulsating as if it was constantly changing. "Well, might as well start somewhere," he whispered to GM, gesturing towards the door in question. "If nothing else, it's obvious that someone has gone that way." Slowly he made his way towards the door, being careful to not bump into anything in the process. Upon reaching it, he quietly opened the door.

Vaccines?

Turtlicious said
Yes, just so you know, vaccines don't cause autism or something weird like that.e: also you not getting vaccinated puts the rest of us in danger.

For the sake of explaining this to people who think that vaccination makes anyone who is vaccinated completely immune, thus making not vaccinationg yourself a problem only you have to face; this is only partially true. You see, in a small faction of people who get vaccinated, the vaccination doesn't quite take. Alternatively, they may be allergic to something in the vaccination fluid, thus making it impossible for them to get vaccinated. Or maybe they're simply too young to get a vaccination. There are several legitimate reason why one is not vaccinated yet. Anyway, this is not a problem due to something known as group immunity. Simply put, if enough people in a given group are immune to a virus, said virus cannot spread, thus also protecting the people who aren't immune to it. In addition, due to so few people actually being able to catch the virus in the first place, the virus can't mutate, thus allowingthe vaccination to keep working.
This, however, changes if too many people lose their immunity (Read: don't get vaccinated). When the immunity grade dips below a certain point, the virus can spread and mutate again, putting everyone at risk. Think of it of a tin can pyramid. You can easily remove a few cans here and there without causing the entire structure to collapse in on itself. But remove too many, and the pyramid will come down.
So yes, not vaccination yourself is someone else's problem too. For this reason, I'm all in favour of obligatory vaccination, with the only exception being aforementioned allergy.
