    That conversation was recorded before she gained the ability to gain power from her bonds; the "unique ability" that Vandar refers to in that instance is her ability to form those bonds quickly, before she became a wound in the force. She's certainly not a mediocre Jedi by the end of KOTOR II. Besides, I don't see how making her a peer with Revanchist would make her a Mary sue (a term that is used much too loosely, I might add).

    I totally posted this in the wrong thread and didn't realize it. Please, disregard this as the drunken ramblings of a mad man.

    Those threads have traditionally been moderator created---usually by Havac. Though we haven't made a new one in quite some time, I think we would prefer to keep them as "official", mod-created threads, just like the official novel discussion threads.

    If you have an author in mind that you want an analysis thread for, just PM a Lit mod and request it. Similarly, if the thread already exists, but is locked, PM one of us to get it unlocked.

    Here are the existing Author Analysis threads I found in a quick search:

    Jan Strnad
    John Jackson Miller
    Ron Marz
    Steven Barnes
    Chris Cassidy and Tish Pahl
    L. Neil Smith
    Jeremy Barlow
    Dan Wallace
    Alan Dean Foster
    Paul and Hollace Davids
    James Luceno
    Daniel Keys Moran
    Elaine Cunningham
    R. A. Salvatore
    Sean Williams and Shane Dix
    Greg Bear
    Kathy Tyers
    Darko Macan
    Vonda McIntyre
    Walter Jon Williams
    Kristine Kathryn Rusch
    Roger MacBride Allen
    John Ostrander
    Steve Perry
    Brian Daley
    Barbara Hambly
    Dave Wolverton
    Troy Denning
    Ann C. Crispin
    K. W. Jeter
    Sean Stewart
    Haden Blackman

    Any chance we could start allowing polls again. It's been like 10 years since we stopped allowing them. We're probably adult enough to allow them again :)

    You know the second you allow it everyone's going to jump on making a "WHO'S GOING TO ABANDON THE EU?" poll.



    ...and a dozen "What should I read first?" polls. For good measure.

    Well, as to the first item, we just need one poll and we can sticky and redirect :)

    As to the second item, interesting. Can the new system allow polls to be added to any post? Perhaps we could just have one sticky thread for all polls and only allow polls in that thread ;)

    Nope -- an entire thread has to be a poll.

    Ok. Well, I suppose with great power comes great responsibility. Also, fear leads to the Dark Side, so we should not be afraid of polls anymore :)

    Polls should be okay if they're not abused. I don't see any problem with many threads starting with a poll as long as the entire purpose of the thread is not intended to just to be a poll.

    Is it possible to make a poll for favorite book of 2012 or favorite graphic novel of 2012?
