Eragon minis? by Sara on 2009-05-20 00:33:00 UTC Reply

What are they?

I think there's an Eragon OFU hiding out there somewhere. by JulyFlame on 2009-05-20 06:47:00 UTC Reply

It might show what the mini'd be for that fandom.

According to OFUA the minis for the Inheritance Cycle are mini-dragons.

Ooooh. by JulyFlame on 2009-05-21 00:17:00 UTC Reply

Which came first, the Narnia mini-dragons or the Eragon mini-Dragons?

The Narnia ones, I think. by Sara on 2009-05-21 05:29:00 UTC Reply

I'm going to go with mini-Lethrblaka, as those are rather unique to the canon, and it's easy enough to change if something happens.
Not sure, but I think we all want the Narnia ones to stay (nm) by Sedri on 2009-05-21 01:33:00 UTC Reply

Mini-Ra'zac perhaps?
Well, dragons are out. by WarriorJoe on 2009-05-20 03:19:00 UTC Reply

But what other monsters does the Inheritanceverse have? Anything particularly iconic?

Well... by Sara on 2009-05-20 03:40:00 UTC Reply

...nothing much original, except for the Lethrblaka. Mini-Lethrblaka, then?

After a Google Image Search, I have to say I approve. by WarriorJoe on 2009-05-21 05:03:00 UTC Reply

They fit the general theme of mini-dom very well.

Um... the wiki doesn't say. by Gabriel on 2009-05-20 00:54:00 UTC Reply

Narnia already has mini-dragons, so we'll find something else.
People WANT to PPC Eragon? (nm) by Chliever on 2009-05-20 00:54:00 UTC Reply

Er... *cringes* by Maudlin Hart on 2009-05-20 12:42:00 UTC Reply

I actually like Eragon... book, that is, even people who haven't read the book think the movie sucks.... But I really, really hate Twilight.

*appears briefly to applaud* by CirГchen AnekГЎth on 2009-05-22 20:42:00 UTC Reply

I like Eragon as well (book only, also Twilight hate) and it's always good to see someone else who's willing to PPC the series.

So. :)

Virtual high five, Maudlin. Personally, I enjoyed Eragon, though Eldest left a lot to be desired.

Twilight, on the other hand, left even more to be desired. I read the first book, and I don't plan on reading further.

Oddly enough, it was the reverse for me. by Ulalume on 2009-05-22 03:49:00 UTC Reply

Twilight was alright, but Eragon just bored me.
Maybe I'm just weird like that?

Vampires do not sparkle. by Maudlin Hart on 2009-05-22 00:52:00 UTC Reply

Everybody say it with me! *chants*

It's not just that... by PitViperOfDoom on 2009-05-22 02:36:00 UTC Reply

I was waiting the entire book for an epic vampire vs. vampire battle, but RIGHT as it's about to happen, the author has the main character pass out, and she completely skips it! Oh, sure, LATER she describes it briefly, but come on! When that happened I had a momentary BSOD.

No to mention... by Maudlin Hart on 2009-05-23 01:49:00 UTC Reply

...biological impossibilities. What is the sparkle caused by? Do sparklevamps have some mica-rich substance running in their veins in lieu of blood? If so, what purpose does it serve? How did it get there? Sparklevamps have no fangs. Normal human teeth are inadequate for piercing skin and flesh efficiently; therefore, sparklevamps must have to carry a pair of scalpels with which they can inflict the traditional double bite marks. However, no mention is made of this.
And then there's the thing where Bella gets pregnant...

...Apparently it's a mechanism to attract prey.

Eheheh... by Maudlin Hart on 2009-05-22 00:54:00 UTC Reply

Well, I don't like Eragon himself, but I do like the witch Angela, and Murtagh. I wonder what the real-life Angela thought about the movie portrayal of her character as a cross between Tia Dalma and a stripper?

Some people also want to PPC things like Harry Potter, Discworld, Doom, Doctor Who, MASH, LotR, etc.

What's the difference between PPCing a fanfic in one of those fandoms and Eragon?

That most people hate Eragon? :P by Huinesoron on 2009-05-20 10:03:00 UTC Reply

Or rather, while there may be people, even people on the Board, who don't, the PPC Hive Mind (the Porg?) has decided that It hates Eragon. And therefore that no components of It will want anything to do with it.

hS

:P by JulyFlame on 2009-05-20 17:54:00 UTC Reply

The group mind doesn't hate it enough to totally want to run away from it.

After all, a few people have asked to PPC Eragon itself- as well as a few other canons they dislike too.

:P
Oh, not "Porg". Please. I think of Porky Pig... by Sedri on 2009-05-20 10:34:00 UTC Reply

But that said, yes, we do seem to have something of a hive mind, don't we? It's a fine line between camraderie and keeping to the constitution's statement that anyone can like anything. Not saying it's a bad or good thing; just something to keep in mind.

It's...convoluted. by Sara on 2009-05-20 00:57:00 UTC Reply

A Star Wars 'fic in which the 'Sue unexplainably has Dragon Rider ties, and spells a few names wrong. Therefore, the minis would be Eragon minis and not mini-Rancors.

Oh, a crossover with something actually good. by Chliever on 2009-05-20 01:22:00 UTC Reply

That makes sense.

Well, if even the original is bad... by Gabriel on 2009-05-20 00:57:00 UTC Reply

...then try to imagine how awful the badfic must be.
