Since it’s after midnight here, it’s no longer my nitpicking day, but anyway:
"Wait, never mind," the Aviator as she read ahead in the Words.
Missing word.

Boy, it takes me back way into the past... Honestly, I'm curious about how many people saw that movie.
Good mission too. Still a glitterrbag not doing much in the canon it intrudes, except plagiarization and ducking it up when original work is necessary. The death is gory, but nothing else was more appropriated.
Last question, am I the only one thinking about Sakura Kyoko when I read about Ave? -

I've got like one friend IRL who's ever heard of the movie, and that's because I made him watch it with me, but post a mission in the continuum on the Board and I find fans crawling out of the woodworks!
And oh boy, if you think this Sue is obnoxious, just wait until the Treasure Planet mission I'll be posting sometime in June... *cringes*
If you're talking about the apple-munching quirk, I hadn't even made the connection until you said something. XD Maybe it was a subconscious thing? Call it a funny coincidence. -

But the way Ave acts sometimes with affected detachment hiding (badly) a crappy backstory, and her rude moments (Kyoko does play the delinquant act.)
I only had the occasion of watching it once, but I found it more interesting than the otherr one on the subject, Zoom. Didn't find a DVD of it though.
Treasure Planet, uh? What's on the menu? The supernova/black hole or the exploding planet? -
I guess. by

The parallels definitely weren't intentional, though. :P
Ooh, Zoom's another one I liked as a kid! Maybe I'll have to go looking for something there...
And I've gone the black hole route (mission is... now finished, actually ^^; but I have three other, mostly-finished missions that will need to be published first) but I think what comes after the execution will be of greater interest... -

Oh no.

On an unrelated note, did you ever think about getting Ave caught in Time travels shenanigans like meeting old or next her, or things like this?
Now, I admit it could go Suvian pretty fast, but I cannot help but think it could get interesting. -

Maybe just as an April Fool's story or something noncanon, though, since you're right, it could get glittery very fast.
I do already know what her fourth through seventh regenerations would be like, but they'd never see the PPC unless they came back to visit for whatever reason. And that's when the glitterbomb starts growing. -

Would it be possible to have a look at Rinmaru avatars for them someday? And April's Fool or uncanon stories could be interesting too... Wait, she/he'll manage to retire from this place someday? I would like to think it means earning some really Happy Ending down this road...

They're just gathering dust on my desktop in case of a future appearance, no matter how canon. I won't share what their personalities are like (because where's the fun in that?), but I'll give a little bit more physical description since Rinmaru can only do so much.
Fifth Aviator:
Slightly below-average height and a rather plump figure. She regenerated old (unfortunately, there isn't a wrinkles option) and has long since replaced her first pair of goggles for new ones.
Sixth Aviator:
Unlike the last one, she regenerated young, once again looking like a teenager. She's fairly certain that if she regenerates as a ginger again, she'll also be bony, because this is the second time she's been both ginger and this sticklike.
Seventh Aviator:
Regenerated in his forties or so and obtained the scar a few centuries after. He's a tad shorter than average and on the lean side.
I'm saying nothing on the subject of whether or not the retirement will be a happy one. :P -

Creating the regeneration process to allow for more Doctor Who was the best decision ever took by BBC. Look at all the characters who can be created. (Of these ones, I prefer Six, although Three remains my overall favorite.)
Last point. Does that mean that your last TYH stories stopped from being — potentially — canon? Elanor was so charming... -
Now that is definitely spoilers. ;) (nm) by

What is it with Sues that give themselves all these Sueper Speshul Powaz, only to forget them at the most illogical moments? It isn't as if she was so scared that she forgot that she could defend herself, since she had enough presence of mind to aim for the family jewels of one the muggers!
*grumbles*
Goodbye, Hayden/Elisa/whatever your name was. You won't be missed.
And congratulations are in order not only on a good mission, but on a well-written one as well; I didn't spot any errors!

I've skimmed through a ton of badfics while looking for material to spork, and you would not believe the number of overpowered Sues who put themselves in a dangerous situation—usually a trivialized rape scene, because what's more dramatic than that? >:/ —and promptly forget they can fight back or use their multitude of powers to escape, only for their designated Lust Object to swoop in and rescue them. Fainting into the LO's arms afterwards is optional.
And whoa, no way! Seriously? ^^; *looks anxiously at HG for his verdict* -

Fun. How does she even have 3 powers!? Getting two was unheard of until the ending! I could just rant about usage of the Pstandard Psychic Pstance. I clearly have much to learn about the logic of bad writing. Nicely done.

I'm honestly not sure which was worse, the fact that she had three powers or the fact that none of them were inherited from her parents.
...unless she was dropped in a vat of toxic waste...
Glad you liked it! -

I'm going to agree with Ave on this one: What the actual ...? It's like she was trying to turn the Sue into an anti-Sue and failed miserably!

I was kind of surprised how many fics it had in the Pit; from what I knew it seemed like a pretty obscure film. Not that I'm complaining! I'd been wanting to have a Save the Citizen execution since I rewatched the movie a few months ago and went "Hmm, that looks like fun..."
But yeah, this Sue. Yeesh. -
Yup! Practically watched it live. XD by

And I think I saw a few fics in the fandom mentioned on TvTropes, once - so I wasn't completely in the dark on the matter or anything.
And Save the Citizen was quite fitting, especially since the Sue's demise made the game title... inaccurate. >:)
