I was the one who advised Mr. Nord to make his own thread after he placed a link-less post in my thread. I was not aware of a policy to lump scouting reports together and I apologize.
This one here is a Fallout/Dragon Age crossover called The Knight of the Wastes. Here's the quote from the Unclaimed Badfic page on the wiki:
Canon disruptions? Check. Improper use of spelling and grammar? Check. Misuse of magic? Check. A poorly-written F!Lone Wanderer/Alistair? Yep! Thankfully, it's about two chapters long, but watch out for paragraphs that are about half a page long, mainly in the second chapter.
Here's the link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6369048/1/KnightOfThe_Wastes
I've seen this one before, but I've never read it.
Hey. Nord. What did I tell you about putting this in a badfic thread that already exists? Didn't I tell you this, and how to do it, in explicit terms, twice? In one chat? What, did you wait a day and forget or something? :<br>
I reiterate, if there is a badfic thread already on the frontpage, don't make a new one. Go to that thread and link the badfic in a reply, instead.
That out of the way, this is a pretty awful fic. I'd go after it if I wasn't up to my ears in prospective sporkings already.
Aster, I mean. Reminding someone that new badfic goes on an old post (with a link) is one thing. Being snide and condescending about it is another. Your tone disrespectful and rather mean; even if you've told Nord about this before, it's really not necessary to get personal like this.
(Also, yeah-- links with your badfic is a good thing; that may have been the issue in the other thread.)
It's just very aggravating to have someone ask you personally for advice on how to do something, and then explain to them in detail twice, and then they say they get it and will do it, and then later have them ignore you. :
Is it as aggravating as having someone call you out on a public forum over a misunderstanding with another member of the community, then talk about you negatively in third person?
And now we're both being passive-aggressive. Well, you're being passive-aggressive, I'm being aggressively passive-aggressive. The point is, personal disputes are settled personally, not by going "No you're wrong!" on the 'Board.
Cute Kitten demands cuddles rather than fighting! Fear the power of Cute Kitten!
But why only one adorable little kitten? Here, have something even cuter!
I wasn't fighting, just being hypocritical and passive-aggressive. *cough*
Kitty!

That may not be the best idea to put it on an old thread, as it turns out.
Double post below.

I believe the proper internet response to that fic would be 'what is this I don't even." I mean, ARGH. The writing in the second chapter was driving me up the wall!
