Feel like I know that, but it's been so long that I forgot.

Anyway, since you asked. My weekend's been fun (/s), owing to an issue that is 50/50 between "this is a problem with the hardware I got" and "this is a problem due to not noticing an anomaly when downloading software from a trusted site." Been trying to deal with a micro SD card being locked to read-only and in the RAW data format, meaning basically nothing works in trying to format it. I'm keeping it because I think it's a fun puzzle to figure out, but I feel like it's a lost cause. It's only 64GB and something I was considering replacing anyway, so I'm not really bothered by the loss.

I've also run into an issue in a fic I was writing, where a character who wasn't too important suddenly got bumped up to being in every scene in order to give the group a feeling of comradery...which is an issue, because she talks like a stage actor. So I need to constantly check and rework her dialogue to make it sound like she would say it.
These are my original characters; I don't even need to make her talk like this.

How about the rest of you?

lol you can make one guild announcement per 24 hours, so I unfortunately can't keep bugging you. And, with more members, costs go up. Or it may just be free the first time lol.

ohhh is it like a fan fiction or are you authoring a book? C:

I'd guess there's some sort of price cooldown, so that more active guilds can have a lot of announcements without serving as a platinum sink given that it's a lot easier to get thousands of plat than even a few hundred gold, and prices are more gold level.

Fanfiction. I'm much more into writing short stories, and I don't have any desire to go into something so writer-hostile as official publishing. Plus, I'm just writing for the love of the game. I'd rather keep capitalism out of my hobby so that I can actually enjoy myself and write what I want.

Oh that's really cool! Let me know if you'd be interested in taking on a crew position here for the roleplaying side of things, if that ever takes off smile
