...I got to "Erulissë Fëanor, the eldest daughter of Lord Elrond" in the summary before losing it. This is hysterical.

Although, um, that should be 'elder', unless there's a third sister added on as well.

Oh wow. 'Eru-honey+feminine-ending Spirit-of-fire'. The heck. Especially considering that Líssë is a feminine Quenya name meaning 'honey', not Lissë, and I have no idea why you'd want to combine that with Eru in the first place. Also, Elves don't use the names of Eru or the Valar in their own names. According to realelvish.net, doing that is considered to be an attempt to impersonate a god. Oh dear, the charges are just piling up...and all from one sentence! Also, considering that Elves of the Third Age normally give out Sindarin names, and that Fëanor (/muffles giggles) is a Sindarin-ish name in any case, her first name ought to be Eruglíhel, or something along those lines. Which...looks kind of awful, actually, I can see why an English speaker wouldn't choose that.

WELL! This just got worse! She's got a dead friend who gets awakened.

...zombies in M-e?

I think I need to actually read this thing. See you around.

Hmmm... by AdmiralSakai on 2013-10-20 14:52:00 UTC Reply

Is there any specific protocol that needs to be followed before a badfic goes up on the wiki page, or should I go ahead and add those two MLP:FiM "troll"fics?

The only real protocol that I'm aware of... by DawnFire on 2013-10-20 22:10:00 UTC Reply

...is that if you post it on the Board and someone says it's not badfic, you don't add it to the wiki. Also, if someone claims it on the Board, they (or a proxy) should add it to the wiki on the Claimed Badfic page. So go ahead. Feel free to add notes, or at least mention that they're trollfics.

I, I--I--I'd like to, to report a...trollfic... by DawnFire on 2013-10-20 02:24:00 UTC Reply

...so nonplussed right now you have no idea.

Recently, thanks in part to PoorCynic's awesome writing workshop, I've been developing a new agent. She may soon make an appearance in a short mission, along with some older agents of mine, although that's still in the works. However, she likes Shakespeare and Gilbert & Sullivan...so I thought I'd go looking for badfics, since watching agents go crazy is kind of fun. Also, I wanted to see if there was anything out there.

Of course, the moment I started on the Shakespeare category of the Pit--and believe me, this is the first time I've ever felt like using that term--I spotted a fic called "ShakespearexLoki". It's rated T, and has the following summary:

What happens when Shakespeare and Loki are in the same room? ;) WARNING: for mature audiences only. May contain beastiality and sad ending may trigger self harm It is by Raveen.

I figured this would be odd, if not badficcy, and, well...I clicked.

And read.

And stared.

Long story short, it's a very odd trollfic. I don't think I ever want to understand this kind of troll; my brain would melt and then implode. The trollfic is all of two paragraphs, features Shakespeare the...monkey, I believe, and Loki, who, well...um.

Here, have a quote.

All of a sudden Loki bellowed, "I AM THE LOKI- full time grim reaper at hell, part time model, Brazilian Master Chef AND leader of the Rolftang Mafia!" I will bring down your kingdom with my dark sinister magic with a mixture of gum disease. If you do not kneel I will kill Shakespeare!" Loki abruptly stopped and glared at Shakespeare who squeaked, "What did I do?"

And another quote:

Shakespeare didn't kneel because he had swag.

I just. I can't.

Basically, Shakespeare's bride dresses up as Loki and kills Shakespeare. And I wish the plot made as much sense as that, because it really, really doesn't.

...any takers?

...and there's also really, really, REALLY NSFW. This one is at the mild end of the scale.

I believe the objection before was that something cannot be 'partially NSFW'...although part of it can be while another part isn't, so that may not have been the best word choice. However, I was referring to the degree of NSFWness.

Your enthusiasm is good, but you did notice you've claimed enough fics for a spinoff? Most agents don't have more than three missions under their belt, and that's the fifth fic you claim. Sure, claiming fics isn't set on stone - I should know, I've claimed fics and moved them back to the unclaimed list myself, and old claims get booted to the unclaimed list, too - but I think you're overdoing it.

That said, the Claimed Badfic list could use a cleanup. How do I do that?

Now, I find myself thinking along the lines of that post I saw further down the board recently about a Rancor versus a Cave Troll, and I find myself wondering... What would win out of a Dune Sand Worm and a Mass Effect Thresher Maw?

...but you seem to be claiming quite a lot of badfics without updating the 'Claimed Badfic' list. Can this be because you forgot (or haven't had time) to update it, or simply because you haven't heard of it?

Also, I think this will come in useful for you: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/MissionWritingGuide
If you haven't read it, do read it. It will come in very, very handy for those writing their first missions.

Do you want me to put the fics on the list for the time being, until you comment on them, or do you want to do it on your own?

Also, you have read the Mission Writing Guide, have you? Most pre-Permission Boarders would have, 'cause they're all so eager to write their own mission reports.

The Suethor does not know what paragraphing is. Lenina is a frilly, shallow idiot who makes canon characters talk like teenagers. The Suethor needs to take up Punctuation 101.

Examples of the above: "'Are you serious? I mean, I don't like dwarfs that much, but to pretend you don't know them, that's a little harsh, don't you think?' [Legolas] carefully asked. " Inhabitants of Arda do not say "are you serious?" or "I mean", Suethor dear. Nor do they call dwarves "dwarfs". Another one: "'How is that possible???'" Legolas comments on a random Kinslaying the Suethor invented, spraying us with question marks.

This one gave me a migraine. 99Hedgehog (and all other Circle-Divers), I admire your guts and tolerance.

I'm keeping an eye on this one, at the moment it's fairly short (3.5k) and whilst it hasn't mucked up the canon too much yet (besides the two titular characters) it doesn't look to be going in the right direction (although of course I may be wrong)
