The Song Before the Storm. It's a musical trope. For serious. Have you ever noticed those songs that always seem to happen right before something important? Well, it's sort of about songs like that.
Suddenly, with a great and angelic chorus, the disembodied administrator of the Greater Sol Province burst into being. In his deep and manly baritone he said "Where the hell am I?"
So yeah. I'm Guvnor of Space, not so prolific internet author. I'm not sure whether I'll write stories for this setting, but I certainly want to be able to respond to any interesting looking discussions on this board. So I created an account, and decided to post some sort of introduction.
In other sectors of the internet I'm known as Guvnorium, but I always write under Guvnor of Space. Both mean nothing, and both were invented in the wee hours of the morning. Also, I'm not British.
My fandoms include, but are not limited to, Stargate (SG-1 mostly), Star Wars, and Animorphs. I also like Lord of the Rings.
Notable opinions on fandoms:
Lord of the Rings: Yes, I have read the books. No, I was unable to make it more than fifty pages into the Simeralion. Sorry, I'm not that dedicated.
Animorphs: Seriously? That's how you end your series?
Star Wars: Han shot first. Anything after the Hand of Thrawn books has not been read by the Guvnor.
Stargate: Yes, Universe sucks. No, it is not worth boycotting, and is still better than most anything else on TV. Hell, it's better than the last season of Atlantis.
So, until next time...
Guvnor of Space signing off! *trumpet fanfare*
Weloem to the Board! As is my custom, I'll give you some chocolate and wish you ane njoyable stay here!
The ...place... was full of humans/humanoids, all falling in slightly different categories and degrees of insanity. In their scratchy/pure, wavering/monotone, low/high and random voices they replied, "Do you expect us to know where we are? How the heck are we supposed to know where you are?" *stares all around*
Question: Did you make it into LotR through the movies, or the books?
How did Animorphs end? (I didn't read that far.)
Would you prefer this gift basket with knitting supplies and daggers, or this one with C4 and chocolate?
*Silmarillion
Han what? I like Han!
One: I am an entity that rules this section of the Universe, and though I have no body, I can take a physical form when dealing with sentient beings. I came up with that about a month ago. Before that, Guvnor of Space meant nothing.
Two: I started with the Hobbit, then saw the movies, then read the books. The books are better
Three: "Ram the Blade Ship" I will say no more.
Four: I'll take the C4 and chocolate, as both are more formidable as weapons than knitting supplies and daggers.
Five: I was already corrected, and the Mini-Balrog has already been adopted.
Six: When George Lucus re-released A New Hope, he edited it so that Greedo shot Han before Han shot Greedo, because "Han is a good guy."
...okay.
Sounds good. You can kill Auditors with chocolate, anyways. Or yourself. Or both.
I highly suggest you start reading Terry Pratchett. Good stuff, that. Especially the novels with Samuel Vimes.
Anyways, good luck to you, o entity that rules a nonexistent section of the Universe.
Hey, if you read the end you would understand why I have that reaction. Also, because I read every single book at least twice, I've never been able to understand why people couldn't finish the series.
Because I never continued after 5th grade, and have been busy with others since. If you really think I should, I guess I can start from the start and all that. Is it really really really good?
That's why I stopped. Still, I got about halfway through, and I agree about the ending. Ax was always my favorite.
Anyway! Hello, and welcome! It's always fun meeting Animorphs fans, given that this guy is one of my agents. Instant fan, right? Eh?
... Right?
Well, I can hope. ^_~
Also, lest I forget, first poke! *pokes*
~Neshomeh
Well, I read them all at that age as well. Okay, I continued through the sixth grade, but still. I'm just a fast reader. They're still enjoyable now I guess, but I can't give an objective answer due to nostalgia.
@Neshomeh: An Andalite eh? I'd rather have a Yeerk agent, so they can be condescending about everything. If someone is allowed to have a Wraith agent... Andalites are cool too. :) Oh snap! Andalite + Yeerk as partners. Would they kill each other before they could get anything done? Probably. Would it be hilarious? Most definitely.
When I have time, I will be sure to read your stories.
Poor Ax :( Horrible way for him to end up.
Have a pet cat and a lot of snow. Please take the snow. We have too much of it. Also, there may be a Deadly Looking Icicle embedded into it, so be careful.
I live near one of the great lakes, and we are six inches away from our snowiest month in all of history. So while I do like snow, I already have plenty.
Don't feed it Sues or Stus.
Welcome!
Have a soft hat, knitted from the spun downy pelts of Cute Animal Friends! It is sure to keep your ears nice and warm in the coldest, most unforgivably chilling badfic! And the depths of space too, I guess-- so long as you wear it under a helmet or something.
I shall treasure it forever. It isn't often that people give gifts of clothing to non-corporeal entities such as myself. They don't seem to realize that we need protection from badfic just like everyone else!
Welcome, new friend!
Have a Bug Fighter! It will aid you in traversing the spaces over which you govern.
While I do appreciate the gesture, I have a Blade Ship. I'll still take it though. It could make good... target practice.
Still, I hope stealing it didn't cause you too much trouble. You don't want to know how hard it was to get a functioning blade ship. Silly Andalaites always trying to blow up perfectly good Yeerk space craft...
Have a generic book.
Why thank you. I feel indifferently about generic books. I just read them at a pace that would be considered perfectly average.
You are a confusing being. You have my pity.
Have some cookies. They're made of awesome.
And: Yay, Stargate! *squeedances**
* Don't actually imagine this. If you do, here's some bleeprin. *points at jar*
It's certainly the one I know the most about. Strangely enough, I've never written and SG fanfiction.
Awesome cookies eh? Almost as good as snicker-doodles made with real doodles.
We've been getting a lot of newbies on the Board recently...
Anyway, have a festive holiday tin of Bleepermint Bark! Made with bleepolate (chocolate and Bleeprin) and crushed-up candy canes.
*Shrugs his incorporeal shoulders* Don't look at me. I just found this place because of TV Tropes. Come to think of it, I only got into fanfiction because of TV Tropes. And I gladly accept all the offered gifts. I shall send invisible thank you cards sometime in the near future.
So TV Tropes also ruined your life? *hugs her legs and swings back and forth* Anyway, here you have a toe ring made of fur; it's absolutely useless and also itches. Good luck!
Oh, I have stories for you... But no, I'd rather not.
Fun fact: I once created a trope. For reals. It only has like twenty examples...
And thank you for the toe ring. I'll... do something with it.
The Song Before the Storm. It's a musical trope. For serious. Have you ever noticed those songs that always seem to happen right before something important? Well, it's sort of about songs like that.
Fair winds!
Now you can throw BBQ parties!
My skills at the BBQ are sorely lacking. I shall leave such matters in the hands of others.
... and will help you. Alternatively, ask my Agents, they have good experience in this.
The wiki has since explained to me (coincidently) what you are talking about
... thanks to two of them, that they're big experts on BBQs. Whatever and Krisprolls are the kings of the thing. As for South, I haven't had the occasion to go to his, but I trust him on the matter. They co-organize often.
Welcome to the Board, it's lovely to have you here. :) Have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object.
Also, you made a mini-Balrog! *pets Simeralion* I think you meant Silmarillion, but it's no big deal. I'll just take the little fella off to the Adoptions Agency. ^_^
Damn you Google Spell check! A plaque upon you and your race of search engine based web browsers! Oh damn it, I just gave it an award.
And like I said, I've never even been able to make it fifty pages into that book (which I shall not try spelling again) and as such I apologize for my misspelling.
Oh, and thanks for welcoming me. I welcome any welcomes anyone is willing to bestow upon me.
Also, I tend to ramble. So you may as well get used to it.
The Silmarillion is pretty heavy going for a lot of people, even insane fans such as myself, so I can't blame you for having trouble with it. No need to apologise. Besides, mini-Balrogs are cuddly and warm, and make great heatpacks in cold weather.
Also, a lot of people here ramble, so you're far from lonely there. Rambles for all!
I thought they were also incredibly dangerous, and likely to try to eat any Mary Sues that they encounter. If you don't mind, I'll be keeping my Guvnor of Space internet persona away from Simeralion.
They're only dangerous to Sues and Official Fanfic University students. But if you'd rather not have miniature fire demons nearby, I can respect that. :)
