[big teej]

Well, on the bright side, teej, at least she's not going for 'Nids or Guard, considering her natural talents!

Still, good to hear the move's going okay, and good to hear you're doing alright!

I could handle her becoming a guard player, as that still falls within the realm of His Divine Light.

but Orkz?

filthy xenos!

-shudders-

*Baroi: Wow, Big Teej, you've improved since I've last read your stories! I do have a couple of nitpicks, though, the gust of which can be summarized as "if you're writing from first person, try to catch the character's tone." Because a guy that looks at someone he just slept with and sees "a female form" instead of a pretty girl is just creepy. Or was that the intended effect?

that would actually be a combination of me writing while tired, and writing from a perspective very alien to my own (that being a worldview where casual sex is acceptable.)

Baroi is a lech, a gentlemanly one, but a lech and a rake nonetheless

if the tone sounds a bit off, it's because I pride myself on being as far from those qualities as I can get.

alas, if it came off creepy as opposed to "easy come easy go" I shall endeavor to fix it.


and now....

for the teasing

-ahem-

*announcer voice*

coming soon, from the crazed mind of big teej....
