Yeah, without a doubt. I like the implicit in this story, one detail above all the idea that the Clapper was 'born' a kithkin weapon, and then used against its own kin. The " 'kin " abbreviation itself is a brilliant little touch. The whisperweft is a good idea, and making it rare rather than unique is the right decision; not because this allows its use for others, but because it gives the impression of something deeply ingrained into the setting that is just given a chance into the spotlight, rather than a bending of the 'rules' to fit the writer's whims.

On the other hand, the asterisk get annoying after a while; I think the best thing would be to have both the censored and uncensored version in the Archives, even if I don't know how this could be done. Does the code tag retains the forum's censorship?

Sadly, yes it does. If this gets voted in, I can provide Luna a clean copy of the text where the asterisks are removed and the proper (improper) words are in their place, which he can maintain. I might also ask the mods if I could be allowed to circumvent the censor somehow for this specific purpose, although I don't know how they'll react. Even if they are alright with it, though, the solution might not be much better, because it will probably required some very, very odd presentations of the word.

Unfortunately, a useless tag (without content) doesn't work either, but a tagged letter is enough to bypass the censorship. One could argue that the shadow tag is harmless enough to the reading.

Unfortunately, trying to "beat" or "trick" the censor is against the code of conduct on this site. We'd get a warning, and the post would be taken down anyway. I've asked for permission on the Meta board, but I am not hopeful.

I'm sure we can find some way to make it work, though, even if we have to host this particular story elsewhere for its complete version.

We definitely need more characters who are unapologetically uncouth, and have no filter. Orida strikes me as the dangerous sort with that clapper, though... Very surprised she ended up on Ythol. She has that sort of brash, arrogant selflessness that reminds me of... Hm. I can't remember who. Someone, actually.

Anyway, this story obviously gets a yea from me for a variety of reasons. One of those reasons is obviously "clockwork kithkin", but it was a good read.

Thanks for posting Raven!

You're welcome! Thanks for reading!

"Steampunk kithkin plane + Scarecrows" is one of my favorite elevator pitches I've made so far...

Someone fun, no doubt!

Very surprised she ended up on Ythol.

A dead world felt appropriate for a Whisperweft's first 'walk.

You'll get no **** argument from me!

Very dangerous. That is not a thing to swing wildly around.

It occurs to me, thinking about this story, how important word choice is.

An automatic"yes" vote would be pretty neat.
