    Are you referring to Xiao? I wonder if her novel really ever came into actual being.

    That's not the only case, there are definitely more. I won't say she never wrote a thing, but I never saw the fruits of any labor she was talking about, if that counts.

    No, of course not. It's just a shame that we'll never know the plight of the wererats in detail. I rather much liked the idea of Memory Dust.

    Didn't she write something about two gay alchemists ramming each other?

    If that's indeed the case, she probably wrote most of the dialogue for the Dragon Age series.

    I know she did write a novel on 50 pages or so. Read the whole thing, not to shabby compared to some things that are out there.

    And no, that one wasn't the gay alche thing.

    Hard-Boning Alchemist

    The tale of two brothers who learned the art of alchemy to resurrect their mother, by boning. And then one lost his body, the other two limbs. From boning. They use their skills to fight the HOMOnculi and recover the Philosopher's Bone, by um...boning.

    Let's rather discuss how the Chinese emperor got the man date of Heaven.

    It's been like a year+ and some people still can't let go? Like a father to his teenage, disobedient son I am not mad, just disappointed.

    Also, thanks for making me waste like 30 minutes reading Cracked articles. Asshole.

    I will have my revenge though, and it is right here.

    A noticed coincidental similarity isn't "not letting it go," but bringing up gay alchemists is. You have no idea how frustrated I was that I couldn't find a synonym for penis that starts with M, other than member. Fat Member Alchemist doesn't sound as fun. Wait...crap. That probably would've been better.
    Your revenge would hold more sting had I not exhausted my interest in TVtropes after having found This webcomic. As well as the Arcanum page, stuff on superman, and various other things I had no idea there were terms for.

    Many, however, are quick to troll and troll. Nice use of historical quotes, I suppose. She did, in fact, produce a rather impressive piece of writing. It wasn't finished when I last read it, but was definitely on it's way to being a novel.

    She wrote a novel on fifty pages? Wow, she must have really tiny writing!

    I didn't have anything to do with the woman but, rumours of lesbian sexiness notwithstanding, there is simply no justification for the venomous and arrogant way she carried on.

    Except of course for an actual personality disorder, but it was still not very nice.

    Actually, the piece of work I'm referring to was released after she left, and isn't the one Wobbler refers to. I'll see if I can find my copy of it, it was around 100 and not very far into the plot.

    I don't think anything has managed to divide this forum so much.

    Pedophilia also seems to be a strong candidate.
