What, you didn't think Pterry made up the name all by himself, did you?

The Magicians Guild
Fandom: Black Magician Trilogy (apparently)
Summary: Sekka has been accepted into the Guild, but as war begins to brew in Sachakan, along with Vanir trying to stop him at every turn, can he survive long enough to pass his exams?
I find myself seriously hoping this is a troll. World warping, severe Stuishness on the part of the OC, and it seems to be a crossover with LotR, Death Note, Harry Potter, Ouran, Naruto and Final Fantasy (judging by author's notes), with an application test that seems to be tweaked from Eragon and includes things that no potential Novice should be able to do (because they aren't taught to unlock their power until they are in a situation with an trained Magician who can immediately teach them to control it).
Gothic Portal
Fandom: Harry Potter
Summary: Sixth year. There are a group of new students, and they're all Goths, Emo's and Greebos!
Quote, courtesy of July who was brave enough to click on the link: '"Actually we're Goths." He said, folding his arms, "Where do you think the Death Eaters got the idea of black robes from?"' I'm hoping this is a troll as well (same author as the other)
Okay, that thing is just insulting. It seems that this person's only research into gothic subcuture was a peek through the window of Hot Topic! Grrrr... Kill it with fire.
I ran across his Doctor Who fic a while back and ran away screaming. This one looks only slightly better. I get the impression that he doesn't really comprehend the concept of crossovers--he just randomly throws in characters from other universes without really any attempt to incorporate their 'verses into the story.
Sekka and Vanir are his two favorite Stus, I think--Sekka as the main character, Vanir to be Sekka's punching bag. It's obnoxious. I just want to tell him to go write his own piece of fiction if he feels the need to shove these guys into every story. Grr.
This isn't entirely relevant, but can I claim his Doctor Who fic? I've been looking forward to sporking it for a while now, though I still don't have permission yet.
Seriously, what is up with that? Although I don't particularly like crossovers, I can acknowledge that they are good ones. That many characters from that many canons just seems... well, unecessary. That's going to be hell to untangle, especially with the sheer number of characters coming in out of nowhere.
Also, heh, yeah. Greebo's? With more than one of that furry bundle of joy out there I'm surprised that school hasn't been decimated already.

Well, that was my immediate thought anyway.
... and I pity any Sue that gets near them.
No, actually I don't.
