Nov 2015 Archive, part a

And…. 2,481 words written on the first day! YES! *rejoices*

Yeah, I'm doing that too. We should have a discussion at the end to see how it went.

Hope writer's block won't strike. Wipe out the opposition, Silent!

Wish me luck, as well. I'm going to be using this month to put some serious work into the thing I hinted at in my last post. {= ) It shouldn't reach 50,000 words (dear Glod, I hope it doesn't reach 50,000 words; that would be ridiculous), but if I can get it at least half done, I'll be pretty happy. I want time to write some OTHER things between now and next summer, too.

~Neshomeh

... and all my other fellow NaNoers! May the words rise up to meet to you, or whatever the official NaNo-greeting should be.

All the luck to you (at least, what's not in my private stash).

Bad- https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7201908/1/Love-with-a-sharptoothed-comb
Warning for Rape,violence,trivializing a dead disaster, curse words,and hurricanes.

Have you ever seen a hetalia oc for a hurricane? Oh a few people have made them in the fandom but usually they are just anime girls written by those who are too young to know better.
This one however is literally a story of a hurricane Katrina oc raping Aph America over the days she was alive. That in itself is bad enough but then the author tries to claim Aph Amercia likes it somehow. And then somehow expects us to feel sorry for the hurricane. As someone who lived through Katrina I can tell you this is disrespectful to the max. Not for the faint of heart at all.

Good- https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6122026/1/Gutters
Warning for death,violence,the world ending,floods,earthquakes,and so many things.

This is a fanfic known through out the fandom as a tear jerker to the max. One of the most recommended,and when you read it you see why. The plot is Many nations have fallen,no one is sure we're it's safe,and aph Denmark and Aph Sealand only have each other right now. The characters are well written. The grammar is good. I want to say more but I fear for spoiling it. It also has another fanfic conerned to it written my the author and some spin offs written by fans of the work. I can't attest to those however,just Gutters.

Twilight X Harry Potter Bleefic - Bella Marie Potter Cullen: The Girl Who Lived - I can't find the original copy of the fic, so I hope the sporking by Zelda Queen from Das Sporking will suffice for your entertainment, even if it means we probably can't mission it . Seriously, doesn't that title alone make you cringe? It was practically impossible for this thing to have been anything other than an absolute train-wreck from the very beginning!

Because - Sailor Moon - I'm more confused than anything else about this songfic. If this wasn't a songfic or if the author had chosen a different song, it might have been decent. At it stands, on one hand we have a cute hurt/comfort story about Serena and Rini comforting each other after Darien gets hurt. But on the other hand, the meaning of the lyrics of the song Because of You, by Kelly Clarkson, completely contradict the dialogue that precedes them, which copy them almost word for word but still gets the meaning wrong.

Fics that I'm unsure of how to feel about.

Arthur goes Fourth and Arthur goes Fifth Series - Rated K+, but you could probably argue that rating is far too low
Introduces uncanonical and dark elements like Aids, drugs and war. Also introduces other uncanonical but more silly elements like time travel and unicorns. I will leave it up to you to judge wheter the writing is good enough to excuse this or not.

Respect - Puella Magi Madoka Magical X Smile Pretty Cure - Rated T - Darkfic, Horror, contains extreme violence, angst and disturbing imagery.

If this was a standalone Madoka darkfic, it would be pretty par of the course. A story about a budding artist getting brutally bullied because of her "childish" interesting, who then made a contract with Kyubey, making a wish that people would respect her drawing, which then resulted in her getting a sketchbook capable of trapping and killing people, would be the sort of thing that would pretty much expect from the Madoka fandom.

But as you may have noticed, this is a crossover with Smile Pretty Cure and the character in question is Yayoi Kise. Who kills her own mother, the 4 Pretty Cures, Candy and practically the entire town, including the police force. There is also the matter of the cross-canon contamination of Yayoi eventually becoming a Witch, not just any Witch mind you, but especifically, Izabel, the Artist Witch. I'm pretty sure that having a canon from one continuum become a canon from another, entirely unrelated continuum would be... problematic to say the least.

Namely Twilight Goodfics. *dodges suppression fire* They're worth it, I swear.

Anyone here knows the website Das Sporking, Mervin and her sister Mrs Hyde, right? Back to 20009, Hydee began a revamp of Twilight the first, 'The Blue Hour', taking any part of the book worth of something, and her two first unbetaed chapters, an alternative take on Meyer's 'Chapter One', were already superior to the whole book. At no moment you'll want to fishslap Bella here.

Unfortunately, the rest of this work isn't published, since Mrs Hyde wants to publish it only after she finished it (She was halfway through the last year, does anyone have more recent informations, please?).

However, she also published four short stories too, rewriting the Cullen in order to show what's Meyer failed to see, and recreating good characters. Success was total.

-First one, The Darkest Hour, her take on Edward's descent to darkness before the main series. Yes I'm calling him Edward, because this one DESERVES it. For more informations, read this story.

-The Thorns Remains, rewriting Rosalie's backstory to something more fitting than a banker's daughter in Great Depression killed by her fiancee.

-His Brother's Keeper, about Emmett. Once again, any canon worht its salt is used. Oh, and 'Growing Up Cullen' too.

-Curiouser and Curiouser, featuring Alice. You hated female Wardo? You'll love vampiric Luna Lovegood.

Oh, last thing. Mrs Hyde also expressed the desire of rewriting the whole mess, and since she's ditching some of the sick elements, like imprinting and love traingle, I can only hope she does it.

Seriously, read this guys. You'll wish an OFU could be based upon this, just for imagining the heads of the Twitards.

Could you maybe do Aiko and Henry based on the descriptions from their
profiles ?

Now I'm imagining agents running through a Super Mario Bros-style game, hopping on Goombas Sues and collecting coins Bleep bottles. You win by reaching the flag Flower at the end.

Let's go with Valon. I'm not sure if I want to subject you to drawing Kala and Stephanie's... less human features.

Since I don't have an iPad, can you do Violet?

...

... what, you wanted more?

From looking over Iximaz's comments last time, she raised the following points:

-Aiko's personality in the profile. Seemed fine to me this time, and more importantly, her personality in the stories was consistent. Profiles are meant to be there to catch big things, not to be detailed.
-Henry's training. Changed.

-SPG. Nothing really hit me here, so passed.

-The writing. Your writing is still not the best it could be. Your second sentence in prompt #1 has 'this place' and 'that place' clashing quite badly, you have Henry talk about 'another Potterverse fic' without explaining why a new agent should know about any fics at all, you say he waited a few minutes for people to open the door. Etcetera.

But... y'know what, Permission isn't meant to be an 'are you a perfect writer filter'. It's supposed to be 'can you spell and do you know how not to write flaming Suvians'. Which you pass. Now you get to improve your writing by... well... writing.

[Azula with a weepy, overly-emotional, whiny bitch, conspiring to fall in love with Zuko, making]
I think [Zuko] should be replaced with [Sokka].

Guess what? THERE'S A SEQUEL! "Rise of the Agni Army." I am not even kidding.

...Tomorrow, "Sonichu"!

Does this count as a Legendary Badfic? Cause I think it does even though nobody went cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

I think you did a really good job, using snippets of the webcomic worked better than I thought it could have - and man that one was just awful.

It was also nice seeing Arinaviator and Zeb working together again.

You'll post the cowrites when they'll be ready, we can wait.

Congratulations for killing this abomination, Zeb and the Aviato get here an impressive new beginning, though I share Zeb's opinion, can't help but thinking that something bad will happen.

Last point, you didn't bolded the quotes and descriptions coming from the comics, and it can be sometimes a little confusing, was it intentional?

We have the good fortune not to be anywhere close to vore and yet they have to watch it in person.
I can tell you as someone with a friend into vore that the written stuff is at least better than having to listen to a vore audio.

That fic doesn't even have hard vore. I did a bit of research after hearing that this was claimed, and read the first chapter of the fic before I couldn't bring myself to continue: turns out hard vore involves actively CHEWING. *cringes*

Thankfully, I've made it a point to never read the actual fic, but I can tell that everyone's gonna be having a bad time. Good luck, and I'll find a way to pay off all the Bleeprin you may end up taking!

As always, I'll be happy to beta this mission once it's ready for that... if Real Life doesn't take me first.

I also volunteer myself to help beta the mission, if you want me.

You shouldn't have to suffer alone. :<

I also volunteer myself to help beta the mission, if you want me.

You shouldn't have to suffer alone. :

I don't know anything about that continuum but I guess I don't need anything other than that this is Glaurunging vore to tell me that is going to be all sorts of levels of awful. I wish you lots of luck, 'cause you are clearly going to need it.

Looks like something really horrid. On the bright side, you WILL kill this. If only Bleeprin could be a real life product.

Is based off of an episode of Robot Chicken and Clone Wars.

That being said if Jar Jar was revealed to be the ultimate villain in Awakens then I'd shit my pants.

Even Robot Chicken knew it. When Sidious dies in their Special Star Wars episodes, he calls Jar Jar to apologize and after this, the "favourite" Gungan of the universe is in mode Evil Laugh/Just As Planned.

Episode VII Overlord confirmed.

... why Palpatine was so appallingly bad at choosing apprentices.

I mean, really: the purpose of the Sith Apprentice, under the Rule of Two, is to eventually surpass her* master and become the new Master, maintaining the secret and continuing to increase Sith dominance of the galaxy.

(*Darth Zannah finds your assumption that the Apprentice should be male hilarious. Also you just got lightsaber'd.)

Palpy was a good choice for this - he's a politician, so he can sneak in Sith agendas without anyone noticing. (In the books, Plagueis was a high-profile banker, his master Tenebrous was a famous starship designer, his master seems to have been a prominent scientist... you get the picture). But his apprentices? From the films:

-Darth Maul, a brutal fighter with no sense of subtlety. He's outright eager to reveal the secret the Sith have kept for a millennium.
-Count Dooku, a known fallen Jedi. 'The evil Force user we didn't know about was actually the evil Force user we did know about? How did this happen?!' Yeah, no.
-Anakin 'emotionally-crippled half-cyborg' Skywalker. Admittedly by that time Sidious had decided to become immortal and skip the whole 'decent apprentice' thing, but still!

The books explain Maul as being an illicit 'apprentice' while Plagueis was still alive, but that still doesn't explain Dooku. Palpatine never takes - or even seems to look for - a decent Apprentice, just a series of tools and weapons. The idea that this is because there are already two Sith in play - one a prominent politician on his way to becoming Supreme Chancellor, the other a friend of the Jedi, famous general, and member of the opposition in the Senate (inasmuch as they have one, Padme's group is in it)... yep, that works.

The only question (and one which the theory doesn't actually answer) is the one Yoda and Mace consider at the end of TPM: which one is the Master, and which the Apprentice?

hS

Because I like you all so much, I'll include all of the extended answers I see, with context. I'll even remove swearing, where needed. OP's answers will be in bold, with context above.
---------------------
Ghost0fBanquo
Part of me wants to believe this.

Part of me hopes this is true.

Lumpawarroo
You have to admit it might change a lot of people's opinion on the prequels in a fundamental way.

All it would take was a few well-done flashbacks.

And you have to wonder, why didn't the Empire collapse with Palpatine's death like we all assumed would have? That's usually what happens with dictatorships.

And yet 30 years after the good guys "win," we still have TIE fighters and mega-weapons and Star Destroyers and Storm Troopers still Storm-Trooping it up...

Maybe the real dictator didn't die. But it has to be a character we're familiar with; if Snoke is just some unknown dude that appears from out of nowhere, that's pretty lame. Are there just random Sith hanging out beyond the edge of the galaxy, ready to swoop in and claim power every time one is defeated? That's contrived, and make's the whole OT pointless.

To resonate with audiences, it has to be someone we know. It's Jar Jar, manipulating Kylo and company just as he did Anakin and Palpatine.
--------------------
originalginger213
So the title of Phantom Menace refers to Jar Jar then? He was the real menace all along?

I can get behind this.

Lumpawarroo
Yeah, Palpatine was never a "Phantom" from the audience's perspective. We all knew who the eventual Emperor was- they didn't even really bother to mask his hologram face.

Jar Jar was the intended villain that was to be "unmasked" and shock everyone, the requisite middle chapter "I am your father" calibre reveal moment.

Sadly, it didn't come to fruition. Not until this December, anyway.
----------------------------
PWNtimeJamboree
out of curiosity, I don't ever recall this happening, but you've used a lot of actual evidence thus far so I feel I must legitimately question this (sigh): did Jar Jar actually tell 8 yr old Anakin that Padme was "pretty hot"?

Lumpawarroo
Yup. In TPM, when they initially land on Coruscant, Jar Jar and Anakin leave the landing pad in a little air speeder with the Queen and her handmaidens. When they sit down in the car, Jar Jar comments on how nice the Queen is being to them. Then he pointedly comments, "Pitty hot!"

To me there's no question that he's literally saying that the queen is "hot," as in attractive. He's not commenting on the weather or anything. It's a completely nonsensical and inappropriate thing to say to a little kid, and is totally weird in the movie....unless you realize what is actually happening (that Jar Jar is a bad guy manipulating an impressionable Annie)

Also note that in Attack of the Clones, when they first meet up again, Anakin is forlorn and tells Jar Jar, "She (Padme) has forgotten me completely."

Jar Jar is very quick to buoy his hopes, though, telling Anakin, "No, no she's happy to see you, happier than I've ever seen her!"

See, Jar Jar has a vested interest in Anakin's continued lust for Padme. Because he and Palpatine have already formulated that as the easiest way to undermine Anakin's loyalty to the Jedi.

There's no telling how much Jar Jar has been deviously encouraging Anakin's infatuation in the formative years between TPM and AotC. And we must assume that he has been-- why else would Anakin immediately start talking to Jar Jar about how the queen has forgotten him? It's because Jar Jar has become his confidant/wing man in the matter.

I wouldn't doubt that it was Jar Jar, also, who eventually plants the Padme-death-by-childbirth nightmares in Anakin's dreams. Master of mind control, after all.
------------------------------
ChibiPatrick
To lend credence to this theory here is the voice actor of jar jar binks making a comment to the effect of George changed some of the story because of the backlash.

Lumpawarroo
Yeah, "huge changes."

Imagine for a moment that Yoda did not reveal himself as the ultimate Jedi master until Return of the Jedi. That Yoda spent all of Empire Strikes Back wobbling along behind Luke like a pet, going "Hee hee, ho ho, whooooa, can I get another yum yum snack bar, yesss?"

Instead of beloved, he'd have been reviled. "How dare Lucas ruin Star Wars with a muppet, for chrissakes???" and the whole triolgy is ruined.

His tragic mistake this time around was letting the "silly facade" of Mystical Alien Character percolate between episodes, and not having the courage to follow through in the face of intense (but misplaced) criticism.
---------------------------------------
LawOfMuphry
I don't know what to say other than this is amazing

Lumpawarroo
Thanks. There could have been more, but I was hitting the 15,000 character limit on the post.

I didn't even show Jar Jar using the force to predict the future:

Jar Jar the psychic doorman

... how did he know the Jedi were going to arrive precisely then and there? There was no doorbell. They didn't call ahead of time or anything- otherwise the Queen herself or her security would have been there to greet the distinguished Jedi- and besides, we know they didn't give advanced notice, because after this scene, Jar Jar has to call out to the Queen and tell her who is there. And everyone's surprised.

But not Jar Jar. He sensed them as they were coming up, just like the Jedi sense the intruder assasin bug later that evening.

Note how he slyly checks around every corner as he's walkin there, slinking about like it's only natural for him to be sneaky and stuff... but only dials up the "Gee shucks I'm a goofball!" routine when the elevator doors open.

I'm telling you, watch the prequels and keep an eye on Jar Jar when the other characters aren't looking directly at him.
------------------------
ankyle
This seems like it could have been a dissertation for film school

Lumpawarroo
Yall are just lucky there's a character limit on self-posts, otherwise you'd still be reading.

I didn't even mention how it's Jar Jar that sabotages the hyperdrive on the Queen's ship, forcing them to head toward Tatooine (where Jar Jar already knows The Chosen One lives).

Notice that during their escape, Jar Jar is busy suspiciously fiddling around in the back of the ship. R2-D2 notices that this character is doing something suspicious, and gives him a well-deserved smack, and shakes its head as if to say, "Uh uh, don't F with my ship, buddy." Unfortunately, R2 is forced to head elsewhere and deal with outer hull damage, allowing Jar Jar to finish his dirty work.

How wude, indeed. See, Jar Jar hates droids, and they hate Jar Jar. They are immune to his Mind Control powers and thus immediately recognize him as a foul threat. You see this throughout the movie (example: in Watto's shop, awakened Pit Droid immediately kicks Jar Jar in his Jar Jars)
--------------------
Orcaboros
So... Literally some of the first lines of The Phantom Menace, by Obi-Wan no less, are "I have a bad feeling about this. ... It's not about the mission master, it's about something...elsewhere. Elusive." and then, after Qui-Gon tells him to focus on the here-and-now, Obi-Wan says that Yoda has told him to be mindful of the future.

So... looking forward vague foreshadowing of something dark and elusive to be found in the near future, something that Qui-Gon would overlook? Jar Jar, maybe?

Lumpawarroo
Jar Jar is probably already on the ship with them, or on one of the other Trade Federation vessels, tracking their movements. It's how he is right there to literally pounce on Qui-Gon planetside- he follows them down.

At that point in the story, his immediate goals would be:

>Somehow insert himself into the Jedi party
>Lead them to The Chosen One
>Orchestrate events so that Qui-Gon insists on training the boy

Palp/Jar Jar want the Jedi to find and adopt this new Force anomaly (Anakin) so that he can help them destroy the Jedi from within.
-------------------

I just wanted to add something to your theory of Jar Jar being a master of mind manipulation.

I rewatched episode 1 last and there's a scene where Qui-gon and Obi-Wan are speaking to the head Gungan, Rugor Nass. After a few words are exchanged between Qui-gon and the king there's a quick cut to Jar Jar in cuffs. He does a little hand wave maneuver and right after that the conversation becomes more hostile.

The king pretty much kicks them all out the city after that. Just wanted to see your take on it.

I tried uploading the gif but couldn't. I'll add it later if I can get it working

permalinkembedparent

Lumpawarroo

Here you go, I had already created a gif of that scene. Was originally going to include it, but I had to draw the line somewhere (there's just so much)

Jar Jar telepathically juggling Boss Nass like a marionette

Look at poor Boss Nass struggle ineffectually against the terrible psychic intrusion as Jar Jar just smiles to himself.... such a menace.

My take is this: Right before we see Jar Jar doing this, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are attempting to convince Boss Nass that they must prepare for the coming droid invasion, and warn the human Nabooians.

Jar Jar doesn't want to allow a possible gungan/human coalition to form this early (he needs to kidnap the queen and Anakin, first, before any decisive battle resolves the conflict). So he's elevating Boss Nass' racism and bitterness towards humans to the point where even two experienced Jedi negotiators have no hope of leading him along the wise course.

Remember, Qui-Gon is a professional diplomat, a Jedi consular. It's like his dang job to be able to pull this kind of thing off. It should be a cake walk for him. But Jar Jar's mojo is just too strong.

Jar Jar has so stirred up Boss Nass against any concession to the Jedi that Qui-Gon (the universe's most qualified diplomat, according to the Jedi Council itself) has to feebly resort to a Mind Trick of his own just to get Boss Nass to let him borrow a used car and slink out of town.
-------------------------
And, finally, two images that help further the point.

Jar Jar has Sith eyes.

Hasbro did not get the memo about the story change.

D&D is clear, Jar Jar is a hero and a genius, although I must admit he's Force sensitive, given the fact he used Summon a Bigger Fish.

(Now that would have been something interesting to see, and this is a really nice headcanon, and would effectivly do for better movies.)

That is a very well-constructed theory. It doesn't quite ring true for me, but damn, the prequels would have been much more interesting if they had been written like this. I especially like the parallel some commenters draw between Jar Jar and the Mule from the Foundation series. We've already got Coruscant Trantor and the evil trade federation, so why not?

~Neshomeh

It'll be interesting to check my new primary niche as comedy beta. =]

Email should be there, IDK

...you have my e-mail. And I'll reply to your most recent message shortly as well.

Because black cloaks are cool! ;)

Hi there, since I'm probably very late and probably someone else told you evrrything you need to know, I'll be giving ya your gifts: A replica of the One Ring that does... uh... something, not sure what, but apparently is bigger in the inside. And this replica of Lowbacca's lightsaber.

Hi, I'm Alleb, and welcome to the PPC! I'm sort of new as well; I joined back in May. Have an urple ocarina!

-Alleb

Here, have a slice of Infinite Pizza! If you have any sort of questions, comments, or just need a bloke to talk to, feel free to mail me at mattcipher94 with a gmail tag :D

Welcome to the board and here is a glittery light pen. It has no color, only glitter.

Oh man, this'll be confusing. At the very least your name's spelled differently...

Here's your starter Pokémon:

Iiiiiiit's Seaking!

And your starting item is:

20/20 from The Binding Of Isaac: Afterbirth!

20/20 is a pretty damn awesome item, effectively acting like a weaker Parental Bond in item form. In addition to boosting your accuracy by one stage, 20/20 allows you to hit again for 33% damage after a successful strike, rounded up. Seaking can make pretty good use of this, so you should try it on a pure damage Physical set with Aqua Tail, Drill Run, Megahorn, and Knock Off. Normally Waterfall would be preferred here, but the fact of it is that Seaking isn't really fast enough to get a flinch off unboosted, so it's worth just going for damage.

Take this bag of super dark chocolate. Light itself will be sucked up.

I was quite a bit of lurker before I join too, partly because, also just like you, I tendo to be rather shy. So I definitely get where you're coming from. People around here are indeed quite amazing, not only as writers, but also as friends. We are very nice and welcoming around here, so I have no doubt that soon enough you will feel that you are part of this wonderful community.

Now, for your welcoming gifts. Have a Bag of Holding, so that you have something to store in the truckload of gifts you're getting, your very own Muggle-Use Wand, and a Rorschach Book, which can change into any written text in existence. You need to close your eyes while holding it, think about the text you wanna read and then blink three times.

Please take this phone. It can become a Jetpack, disarm bombs, and can allow your soul to fire what I can only describe as "Soul Bolts," as well as make calls, texts, and access to your social networks.

Here's a box of popcorn to eat while you read the Important Stuff Seafarer pointed you to. Enjoy your stay!

What's your preferred pronoun? Also, here, have this cup of Early Earl Grey tea. No, the leaves won't try to eat your face when you drink from it, promise.

Have a welcome plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti!

Seafarer already pointed you to the Important Stuff, so I'll just say "Hope you like it here!"

Nice to meet you! Here, have a pencil. It's magic, y'see, so it won't run out.
I'm guessing you've read all the Important Links at the top of the page? In particular, make sure you read and understand the Constitution.
Now, I'm going to dive out of the way before Iximaz gets here...

Along with one of my own shed feathers, have a working replica of the Golden Snitch and a magic ring that totally doesn't make you invisible!

Welcome!

Also, DID SOMEBODY MENTION UNDERTALE?! AND GAME GRUMPS TOO?! *SQUEES AND MAKES INCOHERENT OVERJOYED ARMOR BIRD NOISES*

Ahem. Aside from one of my own shed feathers, have a miniature Dakotaraptor named Arin, a Golden Snitch with a Pokeball engraving, a tame Centipeetle, and a potted flower that totally isn't plotting to kill you!

As always, all the good stuff has already been said. So, uh, have this Plot Bunny! I've got way too many of those and they just keep breeding, so, I'm giving some away.

Here, we have "In a modern setting where magic is real but mostly unknown, someone accidentally summons a forgotten minor god." Isn't it cute? I've had it since a while, but now that I've moved (to science-fantasy, kinda), I just don't know where to put it.

I would ask which Teen Titans series are you a fan of, but that tends to confuse people, so, I'll just assume you mean the Glen Murakami's animated series.

And since I got nothing more to add, here you have your newbie gifts: a replica of the One Ring made of rubber, that doubles as a squeaky toy, and a Poké Ball, which has a Cosplay Pikachu with a Raven costume inside!

I'm new to the community as well, and I too was quite the lurker before I actually plucked up the courage to come here, so I get where you're coming from (I also happen to be a fellow ADHD-sufferer, with a similar intolerance for Suethors who abuse mental illnesses, so I empathise with you on that).

I don't have much in the way of welcome gifts, but I did pick up an urple Furby the other day. I don't think it likes me, though (it keeps eyeing me really shiftily), so maybe it'll be happier off with you. Cheers!

I can finally tell you guys some of my fandoms.
Gash/Zatch Bell,Steven Universe,Hetalia,Mystery Room & Professor Layton,Undertale,Gravity Falls,Assassin’s Creed,and Dangan Ronpa are the main ones I have right now. Actually Gash/Zatch Bell is my favorite one so that is always in the main fandoms.

Others include Bob's Burgers,Good Omens,Phineas and Ferb,Dude that’s my ghost,Deadpool,Teen titans,Sonic the Hedgehog,Octodad,Game Grumps,Panty and Stocking,Pokemon,Phoenix Wright,Harry Potter,and Lego.

I tend however not to be in the "Center" of the fandoms and gravitate to the oc parts or towards a roleplay area.

This shovel's magical. I don't know how exactly, but rest assured that it is.

It's nice to have you on board! Have a Deviljho tooth, a Dinky the T-rex Souvenier, and a life-sized statue of a Compsognathus carved out of red granite!

Hello, and welcome aBoard! For your newbie gift, take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti! If you have any questions, just check the the Wiki before asking. Hope you like it here! :)

I was a lurker before I joined too, so I definitely get where you're coming from. I think it is safe to infer from your post that you have read The Original Series and the relevants FAQs on the Wiki. As such, I only have this to ask: Have read the PPC Constitution?

Now, as for your welcoming gifts, here they are: A Bag of Holding, so that you have something to store in all the gifts you're about to receive, and a Rorschach Book, which can change into any written text in existence. To use it, you have to close your eyes while you're holding it, think about what you wanna read and then blink three times.

Here's your starter Pokémon:

Iiiiiiit's Sentret!

And your starting item is:

Crowbar from Risk Of Rain!

Crowbar's a very, very useful item on sweepers that acts like a reverse Multiscale -- the more health the target of a single-target move has, the more damage it does, to a maximum of +50%. It's brilliant for wallbreakers, though the dropoff is pretty steep. On a Sentret, try a physically attacking set with Return, Ice Punch, Knock Off, and Brick Break.

I can't believe I almost forgot that. But yeah I'm a CisFemale who uses she/her/herself. I don't mind being asked what my gender is so if you forget just ask.

Welcome aboard. Let me give you a pot of my special brand of black coffee. Warning, light will be sucked up around it, take your precautions.

Welcome to the board and here is a buge light pen.

Who cares what these people think? Though I'd like more context. Perhaps a link to this review and these fangirl responses?

Also what's The Pit?

...Twisted fangirl logic is just so much funnier when you get to see it in action.

Can you give a link? And if it's multi-chapted, which one did you review in?

Fangirls are eternal. The only way to avoid getting bashed by fangirls is to avoid reviewing badfics. The best thing to do is probably nothing; there's no reason to turn the review section into a flame war.
And remember: if the author reads it and learns something, it's surely worth the backlash from others who are choosing to be ignorant. And if they don't, you can feel loftily superior. ;-p

I know no matter what you should remind them that Criticism isn't an insult.
However I have no idea what else to do without seeing the fanfic,review,and their reaction.

Got 17K words right now. I managed to pack 5000 words last sunday and I'm trying to do so again today. Have had a hectic week with lots of work and having to take my cat to the vet because of an eye infection, but I'm hanging in there.

And the story is about a woman who can steal luck from other people and give it to others, but she can't use any of it herself. And it's set in a sorta alternate Europe and there's a lot of politics and trying to prevent a war.

…because of school and then people were over for three hours into the evening… I haven't even met yesterday's quota yet!

I'm barely managing to squeeze in college, NaNoWriMo, and sleep at the same time. I've been writing steadily and have gotten most of my work done and slept my 9 hours, but one good poke and I'll probably collapse.

Hit the 10k mark yesterday, right on schedule, and my dear characters seem to be cooperating rather well.

Unfortunately, it's all bits and pieces at the moment, nothing strung together.

Well, that happens when you're missing for thirty-six days. XD

I'm not doing a true NaNo in that I'm working on a big mission and I'm just going for 50-100% completion, not a certain number of words, but there's a lot of background work, such as establishing the timeline and so forth, so I haven't gotten more than a couple of pages actually written yet. I at least know how it ends, though, so that's something.

She's doing much better, and she's home now; I think she'll be alright. :) Thank you so much for the prayers. We can always depend on the Great Physician, can't we?

-Alleb

That she STAYS well. 'cause she helped make YOU, and YER awesome, hence SHE is awesome and must stay well.

Thank you all: it wasn't so good for a bit, but she's leveled out now. :)

-Alleb

I'll pray for her. Do not be afraid to take a break or anything if you need it. Your mental health and grandmother are important.

Letters to the usual betaing address. I can't wait to read this one! =]

Hoom, hoom. Let's see here...

-Your writing is full of run-on sentences.

-You have created a couple of minis (Rudy's and Bei Fong, to be exact).

-Your writing is full of awkward phrasing; Richard's speech pattern is particularly grating.

-There are places where your paragraphing doesn't make sense (such as putting a line break between a speaker's actions and not between speakers).

-You mention Marina taking an M1911. From where? Out of thin air?

-It's odd for Richard to say that the PPC is basically all about Sues, especially since he's in Floaters and isn't a complete newbie.

-It's also weird for him to get training because he's from World One — agents get training if they're lucky. If not and they're lucky, they're assigned to an experienced partner. However, training is definitely not universal. Also, "basic training" usually means military boot camp and the PPC is not an army.

-You say that Marina's family is linked to the Philadelphia Mafia. The thing is that the Philly Mob is basically all but dead today; this doesn't make a lot of sense.

-Apropos the Mafia, saying that she's related to the Scarfo family is a bit weird, since the Dresdenverse is Like Reality Unless Noted and the Scarfos have a well-documented family tree; you're altering history, and it serves little purpose.

-While it's nice to see that my disclaimer style is appealing, you should have changed the formatting so it would conform with yours.

-Richard's list of favourites is a bit long, and I think it beats the point of "favourites". Unless he's really not picky, and I didn't get that vibe from him.

-Marina's long list of favourites doesn't make any sense since she wasn't exposed to other universes before — how'd she know about Nico Robin if she didn't watch One Piece?

-I don't know the Dresdenverse particularly well — I've only read the first book — but I did ask Firemagic and she pointed the following things out:
--Water magic is pretty hard to use, on the account of water rejecting magic. That's jarring considering that Marina is a newbie.
--Making new foci in HQ isn't impossible, merely hard.

-Stuff like Richard's comment on the Flowers, the way the broken console throws up sparkles and Richard's almost-obligatory training make me think you're not quite clear on the details of how the PPC works.

So: your SPaG needs work and you need to do your research. Permission Denied.

PS: Tira and Dorano, it is expected from you as betas to catch SPaG mistakes, especially since Hardic specifically asked for SPaG betas. Not catching a few mistakes is OK — nobody's perfect — but not catching this many? This isn't quality betaing.

I am always looking forward to going there on business - usually I make it about once a year or so. :) It has a nice vibe.

As I live about 4-5 hours west of the city, I know what the chill level is about as cold as Iowa right now

Though fact check on the windy city, it was called that because of the politics that went on there in the early 1900s, not the wind.

Of course it would be cold. Shame for you, though.

You think Chicago was cold last week? Winter is late this year. Try us again in January, when blizzard season gets here. ^_~

Sorry you were sick, though. That may have contributed to feeling cold, too.

I don’t think Totodile aren’t supposed to know Water Gun at level five, either, not if they learn moves at the same rate Chikorita do.

Is the double negation intentional? I admit that I don’t know how these pocket monsters work, but to me it sounds like this specific Totodile is supposed to know Water Gun, and it actually does, so where is the problem?

(I guess you tried to say that this starter Totodile is supposed to be on level five and thus shouldn’t have learned Water Gun yet, but Chris actually says that he thinks it should.)

Not much to say in terms of commentary: this was a good mission, and good work showing off your characters' reactions to the fic.

But of course, no SOH176 reply would be complete without corrections, so:

1) [pokémon trainer the mini-Missingno] laughed mockingly. “That mean I win! Mini one, pony-girl zero!”
Ami is in human disguise in this mission, yes? Then how did the mini know that Ami is a pony?

The same issue appears later:
“Fairy-boy, why you steal Mommy’s pizza?” asked sliver conference.

2) poképurse the mini-Missingno: Minis are created via misspellings of canonical names. But you've made clear in this very mission that there's no such thing in canon as a "poképurse". Hence there should be no mini.

3) The agents were teleported to Wendi’s general area again, but thanks to a glaring word error, she entered not the tall grass at the center of the park, but the same generic forest.
What word error? I did not catch anything that would have implied that the Sue went anywhere but the National Park.

But that aside, good mission.

You forgot a quotation mark after 'good memories of when you did.' in the intro

Grew up watching it. The e-mail is linked to my username.

...but If you need somebody for SPaG, just gimme a call! You should already have my email, I think.
