Can we call this one a Legendary? by Silenthunder on 2016-02-03 20:45:00 UTC Reply

This is definitely a well-known infamous one. I have read it and can say with no doubt that it lacks all form of common sense and canon is thrown in the garbage. Redwall fans have called it the Redwall version of "legolas by luara," and we all know how bad that one is. I could give a charge list for those who don't know the Redwall continuum if you like. I'm planning to spork it regardless of what decision is made.

And the majority vote is, unless I am mistaken, not Legendary.

Missing slash. by Huinesoron on 2016-02-11 11:27:00 UTC Reply

Your post says [b]not Legendary[b], opening the bold twice.

hS and Des both need slash.

It's certainly bad enough to be a Legendary, but it doesn't have the reputation. 11 reviews total? Ehh, not very well-known.

Somebody ought to spork it for sure, though. Could be a trollfic; could be just a little kid's first effort. But those random errors and misspellings could make for some rather interesting effects for any agents that went into it.
Meh. by Iximaz on 2016-02-03 22:10:00 UTC Reply

Feels to me like it's trying too hard to emulate other badfics. Doesn't really stand out to me like the current Legendaries do.

Gonna vote no.

BRING OUT THE CRITERIA!

1. Be at least five years old: CHECK
2. Decent amount of Google hits from last year: FAILED

Unless I did the wrong search, nobody seems to be talking about it. Using both "soulless shell" and "soulless shell redwall" (no quotation marks) shows no links to the fic.

My vote is: NO

Are you sure? by Desdendelle on 2016-02-03 21:51:00 UTC Reply

I see eight relevant results in the first two pages (searched for "soulless shell redwall", no quotation marks) — sporkings, "this is awful", etc. Seven if Whygodwhy counts as PPC-related.

Anyway, I read it, and it feels like a My Immortal knockoff. Is it bad? Definitely. Is it "tear my moustache out one hair at a time" bad? Nope. It's mostly boring.

As a Boarder With an Opinion, I vote to not make "soulless shell" Legendary Badfic.

... it gets a lot of hits on a general search, but none for the 'Past year' setup.

hS has no opinions

Well, derp. by Desdendelle on 2016-02-03 22:15:00 UTC Reply

Forgot to set Google to "past year". It indeed shows no hits. Anyway, as I said, it doesn't pass the "horrible" test for me.
All its reviews date from 2011-14. Does that count? (nm) by Silenthunder on 2016-02-03 22:05:00 UTC Reply

As a Redwall fan, I can totally say this had me yelling with anger. Everything this rat does makes no sense at all.

Mice and rats do not interbreed - they have always been enemy species

No one in canon has ever had red eyes

There is no way a rat would treat a mouse that nicely, rats have always been evil except in canonical rare cases

And the beams he used to kill his opponents - HAHAHA that is blasphemy! That has never ever existed; the series is set in the Dark Ages!

Also, no rape, not even in its briefest mention. The series is aimed at teens, but it's young enough that there would be no rape or anything like that whatsoever

It's already been sporked, I think. (nm) by Voyd on 2016-02-03 20:48:00 UTC Reply

Dunno about this one, but... by Neshomeh on 2016-02-03 22:14:00 UTC Reply

The other two by the same author have been. "Blood omen" was sporked by Jill and Redd; "Enough" was sporked by Adder and Deuce (here, since the Board doesn't like double HTTPs: https://archive.is/http://rc6664.webs.com/mission4.htm).

The archive.is link is not working for me at the moment, unfortunately; it seems to be caught in a perpetual loop of loading. Is anyone else having this problem?

Oh, and it's at least been MST'd. by Neshomeh on 2016-02-04 00:22:00 UTC Reply

Well, I'm still gonna spork it if that's ok with everyone? (nm) by Silenthunder on 2016-02-04 01:01:00 UTC Reply

Don't see a reason you shouldn't... by Desdendelle on 2016-02-04 01:26:00 UTC Reply

Since MSTs aren't part of PPC canon (for the most part). I think it won't make for a good mission, but that's subjective (and why you're planning to spork it and not me).

I don't think so; I can't see it on Redwall page. (nm) by Matt Cipher on 2016-02-03 20:52:00 UTC Reply
