Why maybe?

I'm not sure that people would read it. Plus I'm pretty sure I did an awful job writing it. Reading back through it I'm finding all sorts of terrible delivery and god awful storytelling. I will most likely edit/revamp it, but I may just keep it as a little something for this thread, and not blog it.

Keep in mind that this board and/or thread is not eternal. All sorts of mishaps can happen that could delete this thread. Besides, apart from bookmarking specific posts, blogged entries are easier to find. And can be subscribed to.

At least keep a local file copy with you, should you need to repost it.

I already have all of the current ones saved onto my desktop. That is where I am going to do the editing/rewriting. Putting it up for people to subscribe to wouldn't really do much good anyways...considering I already finished the story. I might put it up just so people can read it whenever they want to, but I havn't decided yet. I'll see how I feel about it after the editing.

Okies.

Though I may end up having to save all the fics I like to PDF or something from the blogs I've subscribed. If an author deletes an entry or moves accounts, it's gone forever.

Well, I use the subscribing for the notifications and also so I don't have to search through all of the blogs on the main screen. Subscribed blogs sit separated to the side.

Alright, I'll take this into account as I edit this stuff. I'll probably be working on it all weekend, but it should be done by monday. If I like how it comes out (I'll be asking opinions of some people to verify) then I will probably blog it. If I still deem it terrible, I won't.

until then, goodnight.

Cya. Good luck.

I'd just like to add a link to a chapter of a fanfic called Exitus. The chapters are centered around different characters, this chapter I'm linking is centered around Legion before he met up with Shepard. It is without a doubt the most interesting interpretation of Legion I have read:

Aw, no one even made a comment about this.

I posted the link a few pages before you without any response either. Ah well. It truly is an excellent depiction of Legion's fragmented mind.

So I had a friend read just that chapter because I knew he would hold absolutely no criticism back, and I wanted to know what he thought of the depiction of Legion. He didn't disappoint.

First of all, he has this dislike of writing an alien that compares itself to humanity to the point of obsession. I never thought of that, but apparently it happens frequently. He used Legion's describing of running, specifically comparing it to the difference in how an organic runs. Why would Legion even consider the difference? My counterargument was that Legion actually is pretty obsessed with humanity, but we both ended up agreeing how Legion would "voice" that obsession would be handled differently. I don't bring it up as a criticism that I would fault this story for, but now I wonder if I'm going to start noticing it all. the. time.

But it's the criticism of Legion's runtimes that were the main critique, as it appears to contradict Legion's own description of how it works. The depiction of consensus among the runtimes actually has more in common with how Legion describes consensus among organics: each individual offering an opinion and then being compelled to consensus based on an evaluation of those differing opinions. Legion's description of how geth come to consensus would imply each runtime considers the available information and end up with the same conclusion.

Also, the depiction of each runtime as its own voice capable of reasonable thought also contradicts what we know about how geth sentience/processing works. An individual geth is little more intelligent than a VI. Adding geth to the network allows the sharing of processing power until you have enough geth networked to develop an intricate processing state that computes as an AI. There is no many voices among many runtimes. Many runtimes create a single voice.

So while I still love sinvraal's story, I have to agree with my friend on how Legion's runtimes should work differently than what's been depicted. My friend did praise the dialogue most readily. Everything sounds like something Legion would say. Everything sounds like what Kaidan would say.

No, I'd be scared as hell. I've read 2001 too many times to be able to hear that song in any way but the horrifically sad way.

Umm...is Legion holding that AR like a pistol?

He can do that due to how Awesome he is.

Is it bad that this makes me giggle?

EDIT: And also I keep wondering:
1. Is that a pipe terminated on the bottom right there?
2. Is it bad that it's terminated if it is, indeed, a terminated pipe.
3. If it is a terminated pipe, is that room to code?
4. At least it looks like all the copper pipe is properly soldered.

I don't think he appreciates the mockery of his enthusiasm.

Is that you Azint? I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

If it was me, I would do alternate versions. Each doing the appropriate gesture for each country to show my detestment.
