You almost certainly need a headstone. So don't get a stone in your head.

Again!
Heading into Twilight, the Aviator and Zeb have to deal with triplet Sues with Speshul powers, and Tyler's van gets its long-awaited moment of glory.
Next mission will be posted tomorrow. :) -

On one hand, it involves 'saving' this canon. On the other hand, It means the hope of killing Wardo and co, or Bella.
And of course, the utile joins the enjoyable if it invades another continuum through crossover.
Wait a little longer, van. One day you'll kill the 'real' Bella.
Now, I have one nitpick:
The Aviator sighed nodded at the Sues.
Something feels off with this turn of phrase. Besides, Ave already sighed in the precedent phrase.
The mission is still a fun ride. And if the subject down here is anything to go by, you'll soon be way better than Rowling. Provided it isn't already the case.
Spoilers to highlight: Sauerkraut, then? This Time Tot has got taste. I guess. -

I deleted a few paragraphs at one point there; looks like merging it didn't happen quite as smoothly as I'd thought. ^^;
And heh, you're awfully excited about this. My face is all like this right now. -
I really hate to say this because I'm loving this story arc by

Spoilers, highlight: In the mass pregnancy mission, the Aviator doesn't appear to have been affected by the potion, since she didn't pass out along with the others. (The Aviator flicked a few colored droplets off her robes in annoyance, though the annoyance soon turned to amusement when one by one, everyone who had been doused began to pass out.) So it doesn't quite make sense for her to have become pregnant.

For one think, I've read on the wiki that Eragon's a Canon Stu, so, maybe, if it deflects stuff like swords and arrows. It should probably deflect bows, too, but I don't think anyone's going to try to kill him with one of those directly.

It seems I messed up a few things. Think should be thing, and when I say that it's because I've read it on the wiki, I intended to mention that I haven't actually read the books.

I might not read the actual book. It... well, let's put it this way. I'll read sporkings of Twilight, and I'll read the PPC Wiki page on it, but I don't think I'll read it. I might explode after the first few pages, and I like to keep my Spells in my hand instead of in the Graveyard.

With pop-cultural osmosis, everything just sorta seeps into your mind eventually. It's like one of those things that everyone knows, like who Darth Vader actually is.

Plus they tend to be extremely arrogant; I've found that the more powerful a Sue is, the less likely they are to use their brains. It's kind of interesting, really.

They probably think that the puny bullet wouldn't dare to hurt their Great and Mighty Sueness. I wonder if Mary Sues ever get the phrase "Killed by Personification" engraved upon their headstones.

There are, after all, plenty of people who would weep for days if any infamous published Suethors came to their senses and killed off all of their Sues in particularly inglorious ways. These are the same people who give Mary Sues headstones. Of course, most probably wouldn't feel like writing "Killed by Personification" upon said headstones, but there would be headstones.

I haven't hurt the plot continuum once, and you don't see my headstone.
It's ridiculous. -

People usually get headstones when they're dead. Therefore, if you have a headstone, you are dead, and, from what I hear, dying usually isn't a pleasant experience. I wonder if I could persuade anybody with the power of logical fallacy to go around destroying headstones...

I can always describe what dying and being revived feels like. (Honestly having my heart restarted was a lot worse than the whole spending a minute and a half dead was.)
