They might appreciate this over at /r/hfy (Humanity, Fuck Yeah!).
u/EliezerYudkowsky [+10] Godric Gryffindor*
Seconded. The only thing I'd change would be to remove the phrase "kick their asses" which broke SoD, and replace with e.g. "save us". Everything else was great.

Thanks for suggesting this. I had no idea /r/hfy even existed.
u/Dwood15 [+9] *
Can we get an elevator pitch for this?

"Every species in the multiverse has a magic unique to them, lying latent until Awakened. Yesterday was Humanity's turn."

That's a much, much better summary than any I've come up with. Mind if I steal it?
u/Dwood15 [+1] *
Sweet.
u/Alphanos [+14] The Bright Powers*
A degree of spoilers; attempting to keep to the jist/premise of the piece I would enjoy seeing a full story about this I think.
u/rhaps0dy4 [+10] *
I too loved this story. But I think most people will be disappointed with a continuation. It won't have the same thrill, the same unknown. It will be a classical "defeat the big bad" story. Which can be very good, but it won't be the same.

That seems like only one way of multiple it could go. It seems like it'd be a little droll if Chooser's prediction was perfectly correct, after all.

These comments are what got me to read it: https://www.reddit.com/r/rational/comments/5ie3aw/biweekly_challenge_the_gamer/dbdgloy

Damn, that was good. I got shivers from reading it. Nice and climactic and inspiring and interesting. Just lovely.

I really enjoyed this, and would gladly read other stories on this setting.

If you want to get this published, delete all record of this from the internet then submit it to zines. Alternatively you can piggyback off of this and create a following online.

I just finally got around to reading this. I really, really enjoyed it. Thanks for writing!

Hmm. Scout's report indicates that they can use the racial magic of the individuals they're possessing (I gained a level, in my first host...). Why, then, don't they just possess Pilot and use [Linear Drive] themselves to fling the rock they're on into the Sun? They'd be trapped in this Universe (at least until the human Time Mages developed a way to bridge the gap), but the goal of saving the Earth and Chooser would be accomplished.
