So, bored at school and was poking around for Mary Sue and OFUM stuff and found this! Of course, I'm always interested in trying to help people make their writing better and couldn't resist joining here! I'm pretty much an open book, so wanting to know something? Ask! Chances are I won't bite... Much at least.
Here's a complimentary plate of cheeses.
Please accept this finely-crafted starter Pokémon!
Iiiiiiiit's Dragalge!
And your starting item is:-
Toxic Worm from Risk Of Rain!
An item I've given out before, actually, Toxic Worm grants a 30% chance to Poison an opponent if you hit them with a contact move or vice versa. However, it's not super-useful on Dragalge, primarily you want to be running Adaptability on it because Draco Meteor kills everything that isn't a Fairy. Grab a Calm-natured one and Super Train it in HP, Special Defence, and a little bit of Speed to outspeed Hippowdon. For moves, you'll want Draco Meteor, Sludge Bomb, Toxic Spikes, and Scald to spread burns - physical attackers don't like that at all. Most importantly, though, remember to have fun. =]
Welcome aBoard! Have this non-sentient hoodie.
Here, have this teac— no get out of there, dammit. Oh, well, have the hamster as well. It doesn't bite.
This magical shovel digs up Angelic Hymns LPs! Take 'em to the Gates of Hell, Rodin will make weapons for ya.
(I've been playing a lot of Bayonetta today)
*dusts off pile of bumper stickers *
Have a bumper sticker!
Welcome to our dark, dank corner of the internet!
Don't worry, the floor's not wet, those're just bloodstains.
We're not animals, y'know.
As it is customary to present gifts to our new sacrifices, I bestow upon you: a plastic bag!
Can't have all the mould getting on your pages, can we?
What's the use of an open book you can't read?
Thanks? And don't worry. I've gone insane by now thanks to my friends in RL, so I really don't worry about the blood stains. :)
*Insert random gift*
Tell me, have you ever read Brandon Sanderson's books before?
I'm sorry, but I do not recongize that name at all. What has he written?
Take this Replica Holocron as a newbie gift, have a seat by the fireplace, and leave your sanity by the door.
Since I you're a fellow Potter fan, may I ask what House you're in?
House... I'm actually a hatstall between Ravenclaw and Slytherin. What about you?
Though I admit I sometimes wonder if I might be a Ravenclaw instead. Still, Hufflepuff is where I'm happiest, so here I'll stay. No matter what that bloody Pottermore quiz tells me.
If you had to be in the house you were officially "best suited to," Harry Potter would be a Slytherin.
--Key drops a microphone and walks offstage
It keeps insistently putting me in Ravenclaw just because I'll pick a book or anything related to reading every single time. I'm definitely not suited for the House by any stretch of the imagination. Gryffindor for life!
I've been placed in Slytherin no less than three times. Nothing against Slytherin, but it is by no means where I belong.
It insists on putting me in Gryffindor. I am, to quote Red Dwarf, a tremendous physical coward. =/
*high-fives* Glad you found your way over here. I'm assuming since you mentioned OFUM you're a Lord of the Rings fan, yes? What are your other fandoms?
Your Newbie Gifts are a bucket of movie-theater popcorn (to eat while you read the Important Stuff at the top of the Board) and a leaf brooch!
I have WAY too many to count at this point in time in actuality... Although something really interesting about me is the fact that I struggle with creating Mary-Sues... Instead I make hit lists for different fandoms and post them up around my room with explanations why. I can try and put them online for you to see if anyone wants to see them..?
Have one of my own shed feathers and a complimentary kit of Spikes!
Have this pot of black-hole coffee, please. Now, the important questions were asked, only things left for you are answering them and enjoying youur stay in this madhouse.
Have this tiny Caterkiller as a gift! Just make sure you keep it away from any hedgehogs. :D
So what are your fandoms? Fandoms are fun.
Those were good times, Pre-Dreamcast.
I'm actually rewatching this brilliant LP of all the Sonic games (up to Generations). Pretty fun for nostalgia... especially since I'm bad at hating games so I pretty much liked most of the games anyway haha.
Hm... Very long list, but I can name a fair few of my favorite.
1) Lord of the Rings (I did a presentation on Tolkien for one of my RL projects and fell in love with him)
2) Hobbit (Same as above)
3) Star Wars
4) Harry Potter
5) Warrior Cats
6) Anything concerning Tamora Pierce
7) Inheritance
8) Marvel/Avengers/X-Men
9) Suicide Squad (Don't ask unless you want chaos to ensure)
10) And Riordan stuff as well!
Top ten, that's all. You get the idea. I'm obessed with stuff. And something interesting about me... I struggle with creating Mary-Sues...
I'm not so active in those myself but heck, it won't be hard for you to find people in those fandoms here.
I mean, you already have, judging by the other replies here!
I've been meaning to re-watch the Lord of the Rings movies eventually, but I've been putting it off since University work was kicking my butt... Maybe now that it's Summer, I'll have time to do it?
I'd re-read the books but I've been finding it hard to just sit down and read recently. #RipBookGoals
And Riordan, too! Nice!
Have a replica of Riptide that conceals itself as a pen, and a remote-controlled toy monster that really honks!
I've read them all and actually made several hit lists about who I would take out or change around in my warrior fanfictions to make them seem more... less Mary-Sue. I can try and find those hit lists for you if you want to see them, Silent?

Hello, and welcome aBoard! For your newbie gift, take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti! I have read the Constitution, but not yet the Original Series. Oh, don't worry, I'll always do my research before bugging you with a question. ;)
If you haven't yet read them, may I point you towards the Original Series and the Constitution? They're pretty much the only required reading around these parts. Another useful resource you might use is
Fandoms, see the last message on the board. I have WAY too many to count, and trust me, I'm always online somewhere fangirling.
Any other questions, feel free to ask!
