without hovering your Mod powers

sorry to interupt but at the phrase "Mod Powers"  I got this mental image of Llearch, Dmoon, Dmariss, and the other mods sitting crashing the big goofy rings together while shouting "Mod Powers Activate... form of a bucket of water..."

Or for people who won't listen: "Mod Powers Activate ... form of a barrel of boiling oil".

No, no, no! It's... "Wonder Mod powers, activate!" Superamber! Boxman! Wonder Zina! bill Lantern! Hawkwolf! Darkmoon Manhunter! ... okay, I think I just killed the joke. Sorry.

Also, I had a feeling we weren't dealing with a ghost... but I didn't suspect Destania. But I suppose she'd have to show up at least one in Abel's Story, since one of the rules of writing is "show, don't tell" and it would be rather nice to at least show Abel/Destania interacting at least once rather than simply assume that they met later. I'm not making much sense, am I?

I never saw the original Wonder Twins, but I believe they had the catchphrase right.

You didn't expect Destania?

WHAT A TWIST!

Yes, I posted a swear word.  In a FA-Teen thread.  Because sometimes adults throw in a swear word.  I do read the rules, llearch.

Rating:This particular forum section is rated around PG to Fa-Teen.  Mainly because the comic itself is rated PG, and Abel's Story is Fa-Teen.

Keep in mind I am not going to go cyber-nanny on you guys and slap your hands if you post an occasional swear word or make a joke laden with innuendo.  All I really ask is that people post with common sense.  As long as not every other post is swearing or sex jokes, I'm likely not going to care.  The trick is moderation.

I will ocassionally post swear words, within the appropriate forum, because there is no particular reason not to, other than you have a personal problem with it, but can't be bothered to bring it up without hovering your Mod powers over my head.  You're basically doing exactly what Amber says will NOT happen around here.  And that ain't cool.

Also, who said I didn't like the comic?  I just have a growing problem with the pacing, and I wouldn't expect any artist to be offended because someone has a negative criticism about their work.  Criticism, good or bad, is fuel for the fire.  I wouldn't ask any less of anyone looking at the stuff I've made.  Is that really a problem?

it's not that hard to not swear, you know, all it takes is a reasonable command of the english language, really.
as for the comic, it's called a cliffhanger, they keep us waiting for more, it's a common thing in comics.

You're right, swearing is pretty easy not to do!  It's very healthy to embrace a cleaner English language when wanting to be taken seriously.

But if I decide to ocassionally throw down a curse word, there's no reason I should be scolded for it.  At all.

*Charline and Destania would've gotten along VERY well!  Taking turns to see hwo could dispatch the lives and souls of Beings in the most horrific manner!*
