If you aren't familiar with this one, it's probably worthy of Legendary Badfic status. It's an AU of the Naruto fandom, in which all the characters are inexplicably transformed into hermaphroditic kittens with deeply disturbing mating rituals.

I doubt it, though, because ALL the guy's work is like this. Not all with the kittens, but the misogyny and OOCness is in everything he writes. Setting up the persona would take way too much effort for a troll.

Nobody could ACCIDENTALLY render "Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge" as "Mystery of Magic Cornelia F**k".
But something about the kitten guy makes me think he's for real. There's something so creepily earnest about him ... Don't get me wrong, I firmly believe that what somebody writes does not necessarily bear any resemblance to what they may think in reality. (Though after some thought I think I will edit the warning on my "Mossflower Science Theatre" page to reflect that Chaser Wolf pointed out that in the book Matthias' age isn't given, so we can imagine it's an AU where the poor kid's eighteen. I don't know if that was CW's intent, but I'm going to pretend it is. Given that the characters are clearly fictional it's unlikely to get me into any trouble if I don't, but just in case I ever go to Canada or something :) ... Didn't occur to me there'd be a problem when I first put it up because it's clearly fictional and I didn't write the icky bits myself, and if it was going to be a problem someone would have told me long ago, but now I think I'd be more comfortable if I redid it like that. Won't change the actual MSTing though. Excuse long tangent.) But this guy ... to quote someone on LJ, the inside of his head has to be one ugly place. -

Mary Sues Mentioned on TVTropes by
on 2009-10-26 05:50:00 UTC
Link to this
For your consideration...
http://www.linsdomain.com/Otherworld.htm (NSFW)
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/TheOtherworldSeries
A long-running crossover series about a demi-god princess named Aara, her sisters, her descendants, and their harems full of hot anime characters.
There are a TON of fandoms (usually in appearance only) in this. But the main ones are Yu Yu Hakusho, Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin, Fushigi Yugi, and Trigun. There's a lot of unnecessary infodumps, a lot of dry sex scenes (and rape... and babies... Anyone who hooks up in this series immediately starts pumping out babies.), and, strangely enough, some noticeable Mormon undertones.
I doubt anyone here would want to tackle this though, since it's just SO DAMN LONG. I've seen mentions of how bad it is. But I don't think any sporker has ever actually finished the whole thing.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3402559/1/Tenshi_Trail
http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php/149408
This one was mentioned on the Purity Sue page. The blurb for it describes the main character, Sakura Tenshi, as "A "Wish/Chobits flavored" Gratuitous Japanese speaking amnesiac "alluring little kitten goddess yet innocent" angel tenshi-chi with love powers strong enough to destroy Heaven, Hell, and everything in between... in Cowboy Bebop."
From what I've read, the setting and characters of Cowboy Bebop have changed to match the sugary... shoujoness of the main sue and the motley crew of freeloaders (including a dark-sided version of herself) she brings to The Bebop. It also has the most annoying Fangirl Japanese that I have ever seen. The Gratuitous Japanese page mentions such gems like:
-"Naze are we teishing?"
-He looked yuki white with dark ruby and kuro eyes.
-Hentai thoughts ran through Jet’s head.
This is another long one. The first story is 88 chapters long. The author has a web page for the series. But I can't make heads or tails of anything on it due to the shitty site design.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/799650/1/DragonBall_V
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1469636/1/DRAGONBALL_V_SEASON_TWO
The blurb for this on the God Mode Sue page reads:
"Meet Valis. A female Saiyan survivor. Destined wife of Piccolo. Destined mate of Vegeta. Embodiment of an ancient warrior prophecy, with Inner Senshi-style "warrior women" assistants. More powerful than Goku. Bigger clothes-horse than Cher. Destined Universal Queen."
She's also Goku's long lost sister and, like the blurb says, has a shitload of clothing and hair/eye color changes. (Why? From going Super Saiyan, of course.)
What do you think, sirs? -

Also, all of the main universes have massive infodumps that go on about their storylines in the first "book", if I remember correctly. And a lot of the canon characters used are just the character in physical description only. A lot of them have had their names and personalities completely changed.

By Mormon undertones, I pretty much mean just the whole polygamy thing and the fact that the Otherworld "tradition" of naming children is to combine the parents' names.
When I saw the kid naming thing, it instantly reminded me of "Twilight". :<br> -

Anything that reminds one of that travesty of a "romance" series SHOULD be nuked. Just to save us all having post-traumatic flashbacks. -_-;
FWIW, neither polygamy nor combining parents' names is really a Mormon thing. Possibly you're thinking of some of the spinoff churches? -

Question about the fic I'm tackling by
on 2009-10-29 05:43:00 UTC
Link to this
Could the Doctor and a Human have viable offspring? One Sue seems to be the Doctor's daughter by the other, Sarah Jane's cousin.
I know the novelization of The Five Doctors mentions David and Susan having children, but I don't know if that's canon. Besides, they could just be adopted. -
Susan? by
on 2009-11-02 02:50:00 UTC

I'm not really into the Doctor Who fandom, but isn't Susan from Season 1 referred to as the Doctor's granddaughter? I understand that that has been named canon/uncanon by various people, but it seems like a viable choice even if it isn't realistic.
Maybe someone more familiar with DW canon could expand on Susan?

Unless there are canonical hybrids, then no, they're not going to be able to reproduce.
For a start, the one thing everyone knows about Gallifreyans is they have two hearts, right? Humans have one. Anyone want to work out how the maternal-to-foetal bloodflow issue is going to work? -
Re: Question about the fic I'm tackling by
on 2009-10-29 13:13:00 UTC
Link to this
In the Real World? Nope, it's extremely unlikely. See Darwin's Origin of Species for a much more in-depth discussion of why hybrid animals tend to be sterile.
In a sci-fi canon, however, it depends. If we're talking, say, Star Trek, then hybrids are possible even when it makes my brain hurt (eg Vulcan copper-based blood not causing any problems with Human blood). If it's a sci-fi continuum with no hybrids, then it'd be a no. I'm trying to think if there are any hybrids in Doctor Who canon, and drawing a blank.
Mind you, I suppose there was that woman and that cat in Gridlock. But I'd rather not touch the biology of that one with a ten foot pole because it makes my inner biologist cry. -
Well, if you take the biological definition by
on 2009-10-29 09:55:00 UTC
Link to this
of species (from wikipedia): "a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring of both genders" Or as I remember from my biology lesson: different species don't interbreed and produce fertile offspring (mules, and such).
So, unless Gallifreyans are a human race (and not a different species) the Doctor could get it on with Sarah Jane's cousin, they could possibly have biological offspring, but those kids would be sterile.
On the other hand, scifi likes to ignore this definition of species and create multibrids all over the place (remember half-Klingon B'Elanna who had a baby?)
In one of the Doctor novels the Doctor was said to have a human mother. If you take that as canon, then canon further implies that the Doctor can have off-spring and isn't sterile. -
Re: Well, if you take the biological definition by
on 2009-10-29 11:48:00 UTC
Link to this
Humans and Gallifreyans could be genetically similar enough to produce offspring, but if you go by RW biology, they'd be as fertile as a mule or a liger, i.e. not at all.

'Selaface, 'genetically similar enough to produce offspring' is actually one definition of a species. So, uh, for that to work, Humans and Gallifreyans would actually have to be the same species. Because they are two different species, ergo they are NOT genetically similar enough to produce offspring.

The human begins doing complicated tricks with a knife, the blade whirling around and around his hand in a blur. The Sangheili is making motions with his hands; the two seem to be talking about combat of some sort, probably hand-to-hand.

At least it was presumably "friendly", because she wasn't drawing blood.
"Molly! Cease and desist!" Stormsong, clad in long black coat and sunglasses, appeared from out of the crowd and tried to peel the two cubs apart. Molly simply transferred her attention to him, with rather more enthusiasm. The weasel swore under his breath as Molly inflicted him with several unwanted ear piercings.
"Hey, nice to see ya!" Laburnum and Foxglove waved at him and headed over. Their costumes both seemed to mainly involve trenchcoats worn over elaborate goth-punk attire, plus fake animal ears and tails (using the Disguise Generator for a Halloween costume would be cheating); mouse for Laburnum, fox for Foxglove. Foxglove had untied her braids for the first time in living memory and redone her hair into dreadlocks, while Laburnum's had been rinsed red and teased into a huge floppy forelock.
Laburnum tugged at her Steely Dan T-shirt and resumed her argument with Foxglove. "I STILL don't see why you cast me as the short guy with all your costume suggestions ..." -

"Well, at least yer di'n't try ter cheat an' come as a bloody snow leopard," Kestrel muttered.

"And now I do a happy gun dance!" Foxglove cheered, pulling out two handguns from the capacious pockets of her coat and prancing around with them.

"Oh, don't worry, it's not like they're loa-"

"That's hardly a threat," Laburnum pointed out. "They already know what I think. Remember I told you when I was a student they broke into the dorm and filled my shoes with slugs because I was young and dumb enough to actually tell them?"
"Pervy vermin fancier."
"Yerss, yerss indeedy."
Skyfire ignored them. "And do you perchance know what happened to him?" she continued quietly, trying to cover Molly's ears at the same time. "You know, with the elaborate and horribly painful death thing?"

Meanwhile, Stormsong was explaining to Deuce. "Well, the OFUR library hath a few different versions of 'Wind in the Willows' - charming tale, almost no deaths at all for a change - and Laburnum and Foxglove insisted on showing us the one with the cast of ... something called 'Monty Python', though I saw no snakes in it. Then they insisted we wear costume for this party, and I insisted on something slightly more subtle than their chosen garb."

Eesa and Sive strolled into the party. Sive was dressed as the female Draco Malfoy from "A Very Potter Musical" and Eesa had decided to go as Bellatrix Lestrange. Together, they held a life-size Mary Sue piñata filled with candy.
"We thought a party couldn't be complete without a piñata, so we brought one instead of alcohol," explained Sive simply. -

"Excellent!" said Sedri. "Set it up over there past the food tables and we'll try and find some non-leathal sticks for people to hit it with."

Both the agents nodded in acknowledgment heaved the piñata over to the designated spot.
"Goodness, girl, what kind of candy is in this thing, rocks?" Sive asked Eesa as they both experienced the numb-armed feeling of someone who has carried something too heavy for too long.
"No rocks, I'm afraid," replied Eesa, trying to tug an offset part of her costume back into place, but unable to do so because her arms wouldn't move. "However, I did add quite a bit of half-pound chocolate bars spiked with bleepka."
Sive tried to raise her arms to scratch her forehead and winced in pain.
"That would explain it." -

Agent Sedri gleefully begins punching buttons on her snitched portal generator.
A blue glow fills the room, vanishing a few moments later. Sedri reappears with a massive, and obviously very expensive CD player.
"Where did you get that?"
Not quite meeting Maudlin's eyes, Sedri replied, "Er... a Word World... Does it matter?" -

Maudlin gives Krisprolls the "hand of rock" and fiddles with buttons on the CD player, barely managing to insert the disk without catching her sleeves or hair in anything. She straightens up and turns to Sedri. "'A Word World', eh?"

A pumpkin waddles into the room, stopping every now and then as if resting its tired legs. Small flippers can be seen beneath its orange bulk when it stands, and the top opens occasionally to reveal a black and white head poking a beak out of the seemingly hollow shelter.
Of course this is all nonsense. Pumpkins don't move. And penguins most definitely wouldn't hide in them. With this in mind, why are you even imagining this? You must be insane. -

Everybody could hear the fake Bono yelling. What' and South couldn't help laughing.
"Sorry, we left our beloved Vulcan at home and he's the only one who can make that guy stop," said 'Adam'. -

"Hey, hope we're not screwing the party by just being there," said Krisprolls
What' laughed. "Well, it only works during our birthdays. So, what do you want to dress up in?"
"U2!!!" said Krisp. "I'm Bono!"
"Well, I ain't tall enough to be no other than Larry, so that means there won't be no Adam," said South.
"What, does that mean you want me to be The Edge? I'm not Vulcan enough."
"So you're telling us you agree with those whacky fans who completely believe Bono's bullshit? Oh, don't worry, I do too. By the way, you can be Adam, and we'll tell the other people in the room our dear Vulcan is WORKING RIGHT NOW FOR FECK'S SAKE. DAMN VULCAN." Krisp was now completely involved in his role.
Five minutes later, Bono, Adam and Larry entered the party room.
"HELLO HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" said Krisp. -

As a matter of principle, I am not okay with this.
Because I am one of those wacky fans whohas no sense of humor and hero-worships the entire bandbelieves every word out of Bono's mouth almost without question.
(Besides, the shortest guy should -always- be Bono. He just has to wear platform boots. Geez, man, pay attention!) -
I'm also an absolute fan of the band. by
on 2009-10-29 20:10:00 UTC

I also worship the band and believe Bono, especially when he talks about Edge (including the stuff about him being basically a Vulcan from the future). But I don't mind mocking the bandmembers from time to time. Especially Bono.
And Larry is 2cm shorter than Bono.
Well, nice to meet a fellow fan. I love these guys and their music. It's totally awesome. Especially what Edge does. -
Awesome! by

You are the second person I've ever met who had an (no, two!) obscure facts about the band I'd never heard. *squint-glare* Oh, it is ON like KHAN now, man. On. Like. Khan. (Really? Because generally people harp on Bono being short. I've never heard that Larry was actually shorter.
And anyway, when they're onstage the personality is so immense that you honestly can't tell. Well, you can. But it is so eclipsed by the awesome. And the platform boots just make everything cooler.)
In all seriousness, seconded! There are not a whole lot of people who will admit to being hardcore U2 fans out there. (Of course, the ones who will are usually completely mad, but that's only the lesser part ofourtheir charm.) I love the relationship between (well, the whole band, but especially) Edge and Bono. Bono's a lyrical genius with an operatic quality voice, and Edge is a musical genius with some kind of possibly Vulcan magic when it comes to guitar riffs.Does this mean I have one more ally for the occasions where I shamelessly plug ONE on the Board? -
I totally second everything you said. by

'm completely crazy, too. Why would I be here if I weren't?
Bono is 1.72m, Larry 1.70. Edge and Adam are 1.79.
Totally seconding about Bono and Edge, and Edge's Vulcanness. Spock is a musician, too. That means something. Edge also has other Vulcan characteristics:
- He can spend several days and nights in a row WORKING. He himself said he had to stop watching TV after a week, day and night, after 9/11. OK that's not working but still. A WHOLE WEEK.
- He's basically a science geek.
- He doesn't show so many emotions (but still a few). Bono called him 'zen monk' more than once.
- He LOOKS Vulcan. Except the ears.
I could find even more.
BTW, feel free to plug One, Vertigo and others. I plug them too, everywhere. -

Yeah, Edge is pretty amazing. Have you ever seen the video where Bono wakes him up first thing in the morning to follow him around with a video camera for a few hours? It's hilarious, and awesome. "And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the sound of The Edge blowing his nose."
The way he's always so stoic makes it just that much more moving when he really gets into something, too.
(I meant One the organization, not the song; I generally only plug songs on existing threads, not starting new ones.) -

I plugged it everywhere. The whole thing is hilarious. I love the waking up. "I don't want to be on the news. I don't NEED to be on the news." LOL Edge. He's not a morning man. Ouch. Especially as Bono TOTALLY IS. (Edge gets his revenge on evenings, though)
The part about the "Pavarottis" is also LOL.
I love The Edge. I love them all, but Bono and Edge are my favorites. These guys are awesome. Edge is SO TOTALLY VULCAN and I love Vulcans. -

"You said eleven. It's ...in' half eight!"
Very awesome. I think one of my favorite things about the band is their sense of humor (even Larry, dour as he comes off sometimes). Bono talks a lot about not being too proud and high and mighty to laugh, and people not fully believing their eyes seeing Bono hisself stumble out of a pub at two in the morning.
(Also see Stand Up Comedy-- "Stand up to rock stars, Napoleon is in high heels," etc.) -

It was... satisfactory. For a night of simple amusements.
But, coming away from it, I had an awful lot of quibbles and AU suggestions and Ideas.
First, i honestly thought Toby was an android from the beginning (until the actual scene, of course) and I thought it would have been better if the "accident" had just required a memory-core retrieval into a replacement body, followed by a scolding and a possible grounding.
However, the disconnect between Human memories and Human chauvinism against robots was an interesting point.
From there.. i should have suspected that Cora was a Metro from the cut of her clothes, though early on I kinda remarked to my guest that I figured that her parents were somewhere farming taro and pigs. And where does food come from? Minerals for additional robots? If there was such a disconnect with the surface... well, the inconsistancies are getting to me.
Probably can't expect more from an IP derived from an early-50's Manga, but anyone else see it?
What do you think?
