Has anyone in the Whateleyverse ever gone to another world where history went differntly, say one where Russia rules the world?
And how well does alternate history as a book genre. I can see H1 using book like that as propaganda.

Question
What would this ability be classified as?
Mental Shapeshifter
They change their personality, way of thinking, and personal perspective while retaining all previous and present memories.
Examples
Default mind: ?
Android Mindset: Emotionless, actions taken based upon short term, long-term profit/loss predictions. (Includes their assessment of how commonly used Mindsets will react to their and each others actions.)
Joyous Rage Mindset: Hmmm... Omnicidal Maniac. Very, very happy one. Actions taken based on the desire to terrify and destroy based upon the list of targets and preferred targets in memory/threat level/accessibility.
Etc.:
Part of it seems like the PSYchic ability to rewrite another persons mind but used on yourself, however the original concept had them creating these Mindsets like you might create a mask, and that sounds like an ESPer ability.
More on the subject.
Extra
Maybe this should be in character crea... Wasn't there a character creation Sub-Forum? Well maybe this should be there, but despite the temptation of doing the combat finals this character eventually gained I'm unlikely to actually use them.
Coercive Telepathy
Coercive telepathy deals with causing changes in the mind-state of another, causing them to think things that aren't their own ideas, feel emotions that they normally wouldn't, or perceive things that their senses don't detect. Coercive telepathy is risky to the target, and has been known to trigger psychotic episodes in the emotionally imbalanced.
Since this concept gelled after reading Author "Kristen Darken's" "Fling" stories, I was wondering if anyone knew how their mental shapeshifting worked.

There are two conflicting times for Fae and Stalwarts first date, just wondering witch one was true?
The first possible date is early October: Fae mentioned her date in Reflections in an Evil Eye (early October) and again from Ayla's point of view in Alya and the Tests #3. The Devil's Dance supports this since Fey and Stalwart are seen dancing together.
The second time is in late November: in The Play's the Thing where Wallflower and Hank convince Fey to go on a double date with them.

If the idea that a guy capable of inventing a working freeze-ray would use it to rob jewelry stores snaps your suspenders of disbelief, you're probably better off with a more realistic approach to supervillainy in your game.
Quoting from p. 51 of M&M's 3e Gamemaster Guide... I remembered the patsy from this story and had to laugh.

The idea of triggering lactation, of regenerator's milk healing sleeping sickness, of being that intimately involved in the life of another, is incredible. All the intimate things done to trigger the desired reactions. And it seems so reasonable, so much like "Yes, this is real, this is how it would work."
Babs' is an amazing author in what she put together, how she reasoned this all out, the descriptions, the sense that it is happening.

I like reading on my Kindle, and I like reading so many of the great fanfics here. Unfortunately, the forums are not very friendly to reading on the Kindle.
So, I thought I'd share this little tool I created to extract just the story from the fanfic posts.
This program can take the URL of a fanfic page, and it will download and extract the story from the posts on the page.
If you already saved the forum page from your browser to your hard drive (either web page, complete or web page, HTML only) you can also choose the file from your hard drive.
Once the program runs, you will have a nice, clean, plain HTML page with just the story, and none of the forum wrappings. This can be loaded into Calibre to convert to an e-book.
I created a command-line and a GUI version.
This program was written using Mono, So you may need to install the runtime to run my program. Windows users already have .Net, So they should be able to run it without installing anything extra.
The mono runtime can be found at
http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html
EDIT: Removed dependency on the extra library, and used standard Windows Controls in the GUI version.

I'm not sure if this is the right place fr me to post this, if it isnt someone please tell me and if you are a mod move it.
I've sttarted writing a Whatley univers story and am hoping to find someone willing to have a read through my work prior to posting. Mainly to give me an idea of how good my story is before I release it to the general masses. I'm not sure how often I will have parts ready for a readthrough as it is mostly dependent on my schoolwork on how much time I will have to work on it.
If anyone would like to help me please send me a PM.

I recognized part of this, but I think at least the last part is new. I hope the homophobic Jocks get caught this time, they are completely out of line.
Somehow I missed the original thread for this, this one probably ought to be deleted.

If anyone wants to discuss this fic you can do it here.
Feel free to comment on the characters or the writing however you want. But if anyone complains about the existence of the 'rape' scene I'll consider them foolish. I did give you a warning after all.
