He removed it for a while.
I really enjoyed it. :(
Here’s an article that’s been pending for years to make up for it.
On Raptors by Falconempress
To put it in perspective, that article is older than these forums.

On Aerial Warfare in Fantasy – Part 2

I believe that’s the last of her wayward articles.
Removed per Falconempress’ request.
The article (different, more complete draft) had already been published, and is located here
Oh dear. And I’d looked through for a different copy of part 2.
Methinks I should get my vision checked. >.>

Again, by TakuGifian
Woo! It is finally finished!
Not Water Keep, unfortunately. Blackstar must continue to suffer for our enjoyment.
Ya know, Taku, since you have several articles, you should think of something to go in your bio.
Come on! You know you want to.
I was thinking of it, actually. Just give me some time to compose something.
Not really an article update, but my bio page now has a bio in it! Feedback/comments etc. would be appreciated. Leave them in the hat on the table, so l can cherry-pick as I wish. :P
I like it, Taku! I liked it almost instantly when I read “Takuism is a small, isolated religious sect.”
I love it. :D It’s unique, that’s for sure. I love the bit about Taku Gryphon sending Gifian the Wanderer to Impish Idea.

How did you do the text that says “Who Like to Talk to You” when you hover over the link?
It’s because part of the title is in parentheses.
Like so: ABC
Edit: The FAQ explains how to format it correctly.
Awesome, Kyll! Definitely on my to-read list for when I get home. After work, then after dinner, then ater The Avengers, and tyhen after the epic journey home through torrential rain. This definitely needs more time than I have on my lunch break to fully appreciate, so it’s definitely the first thing I’ll do when I get home.

Whoa! I just found out why there’s a sudden influx of comments on Kitty’s “How Not to Write Female Characters” article—somebody put it on Reddit. Was that one of us or someone else?
somebody put it on Reddit. Was that one of us or someone else?
Edit: According to Textpattern, the article has gotten ~3,700 unique hits in the past 2 days.
Soooo… was that Kitty’s secret other life on Reddit, or should we declare war on the thieving no-goods?

Not sure if this is the best place, but once I’m done do I just leave it on “pending?”
If you’re satisfied with it go ahead and set it as “Live.”
An Hour with Paolini by Minoan Ferret
Fatal error. Call to undefined function janitor() on line 115.
I was updating the site. I’ve finished updating. FOR NOW.
undefined function janitor()
Don’t worry about him. He was a contracted window cleaner, but he never found his way out of ImpishIdea. Just nod and wave and keep walking. He thinks he’s going to be paid.
Well done, Your Despotness, updating website stuff is important and difficult.
We have a janitor doing undefined functions? That sounds… ominous. I wonder what sort of undefined functions—cleaning up blood after the spooky experiments, perhaps?
I think we should have daemons like in Snow Crash.
Undefined functions, I assume, are not yet in progress (because they have not been defined). But once they begin I believe they will be spooky, yes.
If one of you people with access to the submissions email could take a look, there are three articles in there waiting. One of them is Pryotra’s, which basically just needs approval, one’s a new contributor, and one’s Rocky’s.
Approved Pryotra’s article.
The Magic of the Inheritance Cycle
by new contributor, Juracan
I have a pending article on text pattern. Do I need one of the benevolent overlords to approve before I tick “live”?
You’re a staff writer, so I think you can approve it yourself. However, we typically try not to publish more than one article per day, so posting it tomorrow would be ideal.
EDIT:
Also, be sure to put your username in the “writer” section of textpattern, and add any appropriate tags.

You’re a staff writer, so I think you can approve it yourself.
For whatever reason, my articles refuse to let me make them live automatically. I’m probably doing something wrong.

Why?
Such is the value of peer review. And research. More research is always good.
Man, wish I could read the comments…
In the meantime, enjoy the next installment of Fifty Shades of Grey, Pt. 8: Just Gloriously Yummy

The Mirror Looks at Eragon — Chapter 8
by Asahel
If I may put in my two cents, I think everybody here needs to read this. Brilliant writing, the kind of characterisation that any reader and writer should admire and aspire to, and an overpowered crossover own-character insert who proves that overpowered crossover inserts can still be really cool, empathetic, logically consistent, and psychologically realistic.

Soooo… was that Kitty’s secret other life on Reddit, or should we declare war on the thieving no-goods?
I don’t go on Reddit anymore.
I’m probably never going to read the new comments on the article because if they’re from Redditors they’re going to be about how wrong and stupid and female-privileged I am and I should just shut my whore mouth and I’m probably a fat ugly bitch lesbian who can’t get guys and doesn’t shave.
