I'm not finding this one on the wiki, and I don't recall seeing a mission:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8545259/4/The-Untold-Story-of-Rose
"Takes place at the beginning of the Two Towers. Rose is an elf raised by humans. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli find her in a river and she decides to help find their friends. Later on, she makes the decision to accompany them throughout their journey. Will she learn to trust again? Will her spirit remain free, or will love trap it?"
It's not badly written, the grammar and punctuation looks reasonable (though I haven't gone through the whole thing). But the idea of an elf raised as a human but still better at "elven" abilities than Legolas just doesn't fit. -
Wow. by

Agreed, it's not terribly written. The logic, on the other hand... ow. >.
Yes, because Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli are totally going to divert their HIGHLY time-sensitive pursuit to mess around with some random chick sitting in a river. That makes perfect sense. Oh, but wait—they do remember they're on a highly time-sensitive chase. So they take off and expect her to keep up if she wants to go with them. Some random girl without even her own clothes to wear, who is human for all they know at that point, and not one of your hardy Ranger types, either. Riiight. Smooth.
They ought to know she's an elf just by looking at her anyway. They're, y'know, preternaturally beautiful and perfect and stuff. It would take a lot of work to make one of the Eldar appear mortal. 'Course, I also question just what she's doing there in the first place. What happened to her parents, what were they doing there, where did they come from, etc.?
And that's all before she starts manifesting her speshul Mary Sue powers.
I don't know how sporkable this is, given the relatively good writing, but it definitely deserves some attention.

It's just a lot easier when the fic practically makes fun of itself with typos, malapropisms, and backward grammar. I personally prefer targets that make me giggle all on their own. *g*

This fic would be immensely sporkable if it were longer. For now, it's just laughable. It managed to knock Spock OOC to the point of being a character replacement in 422 words.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8036563/1/Goodbye-For-Now
An OC/Wheatley story. Kat had nothing left to lose now, she might as well at least try and carry on... But did that mean that he was out of her life for good? Rated T for now, may change to M if necessary.
Blarg. So, 'Kat' replaces Chell in Portal 2, and sticks Wheatley into GLaDOS's (what do you call it? Cradle? Mainframe?) but her ability to actually talk stops Wheatley from doing his whole 'why do you have to leave now?' bit. So Kat decides that because OMG Wheatley' so mean she'll just stay in Aperture. And then Wheatley puts GLaDOS back in charge so he can go comfort Kat, who is a super-speshul maid android. Also, GLaDOS and Wheatley are both humans.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7524541/1/renegade
Since Chell has escaped the facility, Wheatley must find a new labrat to play with. He didn't expect his new "toy" would be so hard to tame... Wheatley/ OC
Trigger warning for rape. Yet more human-Wheatley. Wheatley is somehow in charge post-Portal 2, and opens up a new test subject (where'd he get that from? Did he send Atlas and P-Body to get them?) Alice Griffen. She then does the whole 'I won't test and you can't make me!' apparently preferring to sit in the Relaxation Chamber. And then in chapter four he attempts to rape her (the chapter ends before we see anything, but trigger warning all the same)

The Doctor shows up in Mitakihara for some reason. Really, he doesn't do anything - he doesn't change anything in the canon and most of the story is bits of him intercut with canon scenes. And then when Kyouko and Sayaka dies, he decides to first threaten to eradicate Kyubey from existance, then tells Kyubey that Kyubey should kill him, and UGH. I can't really find a plot, and it doesn't seem to have any point. -

To answer your question about the Portal and Half-Life connection, both games take place in the same universe and are actually pretty involved in each other. The events of Portal happen sometime after the Seven Hour War (where Earth and its defenders get ROFLstomped by the highly advanced Combine war machine) and Portal 2 is set an indeterminate number of years later. The Borealis, an Aperture Science research vessel, is mentioned in Half-Life 2: Episode 2 as a major plot point.
Black Mesa and Aperture were bitter rivals in universe. Fun fact: you can see a Gravity Gun and a HEV suit charger in Aperture's labs in the Lab Rat comic, both of which are Black Mesa/Postwar technologies.

Two crack 'fics and a possible goodfic by
on 2012-11-15 11:16:00 UTC
Reply
A Journey to the Beginning of Time (Rated K) is basically 11th Doctor, Amy and Rory visit The Creation (yes, that one from the Bible. I kid you not). I'm not sure whether this 'fic is just crack or genuinely bad.
Jesus Christ: Vampire Slayer (Rated M due to gore and lots of curses, including the F, N and C words; probably offensive to Christians, beginning from a certain level of devotion), on the other hand, is crack Up to Eleven. Jesus, the Apostles, Mary Magdalene and the rest live in modern America. Jesus is a vampire hunter and behaves like a GTA player, Mary Magdalene is, well, a whore, Paul is a afro-American bar owner... I'm not sure whether those guys are IC or not, but they sure swear a lot. Oh, and Jesus' target? Ew-dard Cullen. Apparently Ewdard turned the whole of Forks into garden-variety vampires and is planning to Take Over the World...
TBH, the more I read JC:VH, the more it seems like an anti-Twilight 'fic. I'm not sure whether to be offended or to laugh.
I Got The Last Room (Rated T) is what seems like a DWxBible oneshot goodfic; it's basically 'the Ninth Doctor shows up in the inn Mary and Joseph were turned away from in Bethlehem', and it's pretty good. Characters are IC, the setting's depicted believably, no SPaG problems, and the story's enjoyable. -

It was this awfully fundamentalist series of stories about faith-overpowered Sues and Stus that, in order to defend the Christian religion, went on to enter several canons and kill characters "allied with Satan" like Harry Potter (yup) and convert to their beliefs the others (making them into ridiculous passive and devoted bits).
It was out of PPC reach, though, as the PPC doesn't touch fics involving real religions. The chances of accidentally offending someone are too high.
I'm Christian myself, and yet I was really, really horrified by that. You know, it's supposed to be a religion about love, tolerance and good deeds
Good thing it's long gone, 'cause I was so angered by that at the time that if they had killed some of my favourite character I would have been ready to get my permission revoked and leave the community just to spork the living daylights out of it.
Good thing that JulyFlame talked some sense into me before a Prayer Warriors fic about killing Card Captor Sakura ever appeared. -

I grant that there was an instance of a human being raised by elves - Aragorn, I believe the name is? (Or, at least, he's very well affiliated with elves.)
But he's still human, and very much outclassed by Legolas in certain fields, because there are just some things humans can not do that elves can.
And being raised one way and born the other has an interesting way of negating the latter's effects on the child in question. While it isn't impossible for an elf to be raised human, odds are that she wouldn't just pick up on her ancestry like that and just totally roll with it.
And just the notion of joining the Fellowship is a call back to the original series - every single instance of a character and the Fellowship being involved together ended badly, as I recall it.
I imagine this will be duly sporked soon enough, and I will only gladly read the results. -

Also, check out the "build-a-boyfriend" feature. No, I don't know either. -
Yeah, I don't even know by

If you were going to build a boyfriend, why would you want a virtual one? I don't even... I think it's Sturgeon's law for sure, but since Sturgeon was never that specific about where to find the 90%, I'm going to assume that this is part of the 90% of fanfic. Could be the meta-reason why ao3 is such comparatively high quality - it's the ten percent, but separated off of this site and it's ilk.
Real people fic abounds. Like I didn't already want to apply tacks to my own toes when seeing real people fic... -

Sirius' twin sister 'Brydie', yes, Brydie. Never heard of that constellation.
Surprisingly good spelling, but (context: she went to Beaxbatons because reasons):
"Girl's only did nothing for me! So I told my mum I'd run away if she didn't send me to Hogwarts, Sirius helped me with that one :) and now I'm at Hogwarts for fourth year! Should be exciting!" -

Oh HELL no.
How can- I know that everybody in existence has extensive family gene history, but how are you born American, Korean, German and French, all at once? And, by the way, don't those for groups still hold some hard feelings towards each other? You know, because of war?
And if this girl is implying for one second that an insane, faceless, reality-destroying sadistic killer of defense people - something he does for fun, assumedly - is capable of falling in love in a same and stable manner, oh-ho-ho, dies she have a nasty wake-up call coming her way. I don't envy whoever dorks this fic. -

I can barely justify triple citizenship -- say a married couple, one German citizen and one French citizen, on holiday in the US when the baby decides it doesn't wanna wait nine months. (And odds are the kidlet would end up assigned to just one of the countries so he could get the paperwork to go home with Mommy and Daddy.) But quadruple citizenship? I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think it works that way.

Yeah, there's a funny little thing called a "green card", it's kind of necessary for citizenship in the States if you're from out of country?
So where's this chick's papers? -

Hard feelings? by

I don't think there's any hard feelings nowadays between German, French, American, or Korean people...
...unless we're talking about North Korea and its crazy leaders. That's a whole other story.
Otherwise agreeing with having four nationalities at once. Ethnic heritage does not directly correspond to nationality! I shall dub her "Passport-woman", human without borders.
Have you ever played Slender, by the way? If yes, gimme twenty dollars.

Never played Slender, would rather not play Slender, SCREW YOU YOU'LL NEVER GET MY MONEY.
Hey, all she said was "Korean." I can assume just about anything from that.
(But yeah, my comment there might have been a tad exaggerated - for the most part, it's really not that common anymore for German, French and American people to hate on each other, and South Korea's okay.)
I'm liking the name, there. It would seriously have been easier if she said she was English, then I would have an easier time understanding her muddled genes.
