I was asked to remove the monomolecular...ness from my submission because it would break as soon as it hit something. This is not a valid cause to change the submission. Yes; it would have to be treated with delicacy lest it be damaged, but this is a given. I was
not asked to elaborate that. I was asked to change it completely. The submission it is based on it was monomolecular. The canon was monomolecular. Both of those aren't denied.
Amending to that while we're at it, let's go over simple balance concerns - because this was not addressed until
after it was denied.
Let's say the alchemy
doesn't make it "nearly indestructible" like every other Sith sword. The implied fragility of a monomolecular blade would not affect all of the other abilities of a Sith sword. Namely, lightsabers don't actually make
contact, they're repelled by the polarity. Thus, even if they did have a substantial mass to impact with, it wouldn't ever break the blade. Going off that - since those traits are entirely the focus of the submission - this is still an entirely practical weapon even
with the fragility of a monomolecular blade, ignoring that side of the effects of alchemy for balance's sake (
which I'm willing to do).
" Change: Also, you put that monomolecular edging was used in this application, I’m going to have to ask that this be changed as monomolecular edging would break as soon as it strikes something."
Monomolecular edges
would break as soon as it struck something - but this is fact. Nowhere in that sentence am I asked to
write that, despite it being true with the canon and with the former submission. Not a "please add X because the canon says Y," no "but it's too much for one sword, tone it down." Monomolecular blades are allowed... so by telling me to change it because it simply
is, isn't a very good reason. It was probably just a lack of clarity on their part, but that's what Second Chance is for.
Willing to forgo the description of fragility for balance sake; yes.
Willing to remove it entirely for no given reason whatsoever; no.
