1. I have taken a liking to an image of old wizard, who is exeedingly certain and proud of his knowledge, whether it is real or not, and has a respectable air at that, instead of coming off as your ordinary old cuckoo. Claude Frollo. Georgiy Kain. Kinzo Ushiromiya, of all things to draw from.  ::)
2. Rewatching Little Goody Two Shoes tailer for tenth time, and it just now occured to me: now that's some poor village girl, walking all around in a fancy dress and with gemstone necklace on. Perhaps it is a fake gemstone, that's why she is poor.  :P

Novel is like a pokemon. More they open threads, more experience they get. They level up with that experience. And if they level up enough, they evolve.

It already happened once. They turned from just "Novel" to a fancier "Scoops Novel". And that was after a substantial increase in their number of opened threads.

So I theorise that after a few more threads, they will evolve into something more powerful. Maybe even something with a profile picture.

How about Ultra-Novel?

Or Novelotron?

Or Novel Ultima?

Or maybe OneOfAKind?

Your forgetting about his starting form of Novel Scoops.

What about UBERNOVEL?


But his next form won't be his final form!

Novel Scoops had a very different name which was unrelated to Novel, and to Scoops, way back when.

I don't remember what it was but I know that we DMed about it when the change happened. Kind of intriguing.

All these threads make it more difficult to find the threads in which I'm interested.  Signal to noise is dropping too fast :(

It must have been a different account, back then? Because looking at their posts (quotes retain the name at the moment of quoting), it looks like it was Novel ten years ago when they registered. Quickly changing to Novel Scoops, and staying that way until this recent bonanza of shitposting.

Yeah, Novel Scoops to Novel to Scoops Novel I think was all within a month. Or at least, felt that way.

Edit: I should point out - this refers to the most recent changes. Vecs been around much longer than me I think.

I have a little half-serious conspiracy theory that (Scoops) Novel (Scoops) is a GPT-3 chatbot someone unleashed on this forum as an experiment.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.
