“I want to pet that Fox.”

“We have a Fox at home.”

The fox at home.

By the Light. That was a rough read.

Bravo. Time to go sit on a hill in Stormsong valley for a while.

Oof, Anduin looks really, really bad
 I don’t quite understand the point of making old characters look worse. Both Alleria’s new look and Anduin’s are abysmally bad.

Ya that story hit me harder in the feels than I was expecting
Stuff regarding family always hits me hard, so almost teared up there.

And it was really well written too.

Good riddance to this person who has so badly ruined the story of Warcraft.

Ah yes another alliance themed story. I’ll skip it like I skipped the last, I’ll get spoon fed the bare minimum in the game when I’m forced to work with them

From what I’ve seen, they seem to have moved away from having “staff” writers, composers, artists, and have moved to more of a consulting and piecework kind of approach. So, it’s possible that they don’t pay Golden to be on call for any writing that needs to be done, but they might pay her for a story or a book on a one-and-done basis.

Like 5 neutral Alliance locations for example? :sweat_smile:

Yet we have a story written by Christie Golden.

Think she did that for free?

Locations I don’t want to be in nor care that they’re neutral. I’d rather them be hostile.

Imagine unironically being testy about this when we had years and years of Thrall and the Supporting Orcs Show, co-starring Sylvanas.
