Elfthreads!

[jalapeno_dude]

Maybe I’m being uncreative but what is the version with post-1800s materials science?

HPMOR.

[DanielH]

And the climax thereof?

I hope Timothy eventually settles on the much more sensible option of marrying Karen (I don’t think meeting the peal would be enough to make the non-1800-approved options the best suited to his goals, but I could be wrong).

[DanielH]

I realized that might not be clear if you can’t read my mind and aren’t reading a specific one of the other elf threads. I mean they marry each other for political reasons but each extramaritally get invinvolved with (or pine over; do Karens ever start dating non-Bells on their own?) other people that society says they can’t date.

[Alicorn]

The original template member didn't pine at all; he was immediately thrown at Tony instead. There may be other characters who could serve the Tony role there.

[DanielH]

I mean, he should have acted differently but it was not the worst possible response. I expect, mostly based on this being fiction and the authors probably driving at a certain result, that she would have kept escalating until he did something.

[DanielH]

I only say that with the Doylistic predictions of what would have happened; otherwise I’d have put more emphasis on the damning-with-faint-praise of my first sentence.

[anthusiasm]

Whoa, did something happen last night that got deleted?

[Moriwen]

Yes (though not the thing being discussed above).

[anthusiasm]

Oh ok! Which thing is being discussed above? (I can think of a couple different things it could be)
