Aria Breuer tells us how Aria Breuer became the Tenth Walker.

I mean, some of it's already showed up, but.

Well.

Yay! :D

I'm very glad you got that vague idea. And also that there's so much written already. Looking forward to reading more!

(Also, I'm reasonably sure I didn't comment on the latest one? Yeah, looks like I didn't. I liked it too, though. I'm a bit of a sucker for Bond stuff anyway, and when you add in both that it's a good interlude and that it's a reboot of something I discovered and rediscovered and liked both times...yeah. I like this storyline, and I'm thrilled to be seeing Valcentica-related stuff after wondering what happened in it a couple years back.)

Anyway. This is very fun to read, and having a new story pop up pretty frequently is awesome. Looking forward to whatever's next!

I'm not actually reading Blank Sprite (no particular reason, just attention span), but I feel that people who keep working on long-term projects - especially when they've left the community it was shared with - deserve thanks.

"Meanwhile With Dumblebum"

Yes, seriously. The story is marked as "Dumbles bashing" as well (though later on, in this same chapter they call him Dumbledore, so maybe it's on purpose?). By the way, Harry is actually a Malfoy, gets sorted on both Slytherin and "Gryfinndor" (which I think would make a lovely mini-Aragog) and his best friends are Hermione and Draco (who suddenly isn't racist). Let's not go over their powers, though be warned they include something called "Magic Siphoning". Please, please, spork it.

Chapter 9 of Blank Sprite is now available!

(Mind you, this chapter relies heavily on the previous one. So, if you haven't read Chapter 8 or don't remember it, giving it a re-read is advisable)

Shorter than 500 words, lack of caps and POV heading!

"hilary's pov.

'ummmmm. Don't know which book to select. ' umm I think that book on the top should be the best for me. "excuse me ?" I asked."

This one's M-rated, nevermind.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12626271/1/A-Better-Dark-Lord

This one's actually only 89 words, so here it is in its entirety:

As Harry sat on his cell in Azkaban he started thinking im going to get revenge on that Weasley bitch and his whore of a wife!

As harry sat on his cell he began practicing wandless majic, occlumency, animegus form and leginimency. After 6 weeks of practice he spotted the girl while invading a guards mind and saw she was Gabrielle Delacor. Once he started practicing his animegus...2 weeks later he became a 10 foot rattle snake. That night he was planning on escaping arounf 1:00...

Here's the fic.

That's a fairly classic Persona badfic there: Uncanon character joins the fun and still thunder with his 'unique' Persona (like all the canon characters), hitting on canon characters, and questionnable SpaG. This one is 'original' though, because he's a cousin to Persona 1 protagonist.

I originally went to school at St.Merlin high, which was located in the city of Mikage-cho. Apperently there was a big conspiracy with an old company called sebec, and their branch president, Takahisa Kandori. Ever since then, the town had a bad reputation of being haunted by evil spirits, but its just stupid superstition.

But last January, I was told that I would be transferred to a different school and city. A city called, Iwatodi. A city that is runned by the Kirijo group... I think? I have to wonder though, why was I getting transferred to this type of place. "Sigh maybe it was a mistake, or maybe Naoya was worried about me." My cousin, Naoya Toudou is what you would call... a very worried person I would believe. But in the end he's always been there for when I needed some to talk to.

That said, the spelling of St. Hermelin is a bit... off.

The general idea for that mini item was to have an edit distance of 3 or more from the correct spelling. I phrased it like that so I wouldn't have to explain what edit distance was. "St. Hermelin" to "St. Merlin" has that property, so it counts.

Namely for the Half-Life fandom.

Today, almost ten years after Half-Life 2: Episode 2 was released, Marc Laidlaw wrote what he calls a peice of fanfiction. However, Laidlaw was one of the head writers for the Half-Life series. This "fanfiction" is a proposed plot for the fabled Half-Life 2: Episode 3.

It should be noted, this is not strictly "canon." At the end of the day, only Valve has the ability to give us that. However, it has become increasingly clear over the decade since the last installment, Valve is not actively working on the next entry in the series. Marc Laidlaw left Valve eighteen months ago, and from this proposed plot, we can guess why. Valve is not working on any games that require a head writer. There is no Episode Three. There never will be an Episode Three. This is the closure to the story that fans have been longing for these many years. At least, as close to "official" closure as we will ever get.

There are two versions of this plot. On Marc's website, you can read Epistle 3 However, to avoid potential legal action from Valve, he changed the names and pronouns of several characters. While you can fairly easally tell who everybody is supposed to be, fans have gone ahead and changed the proper nouns back to their canon counterparts. You can read that Here.

This badass lady is a NASA mathematician, known for her accurate celestial navigation. She's the one who calculated the trajectory of the Apollo 11 mission.

Not politics related, but...

Principal tells students they cannot wear leggings 'unless you are a size zero'.

The fic writes it St. Merlin, but the original is St. Hermelin. The three first letters are removed, but you could also say that the 'r' was misplaced.

So, fitting Number 1 or not?

And it looks like a disaster. Emphasis on 'looks like'. We seem to hold the idiot ball in heraldry and flaglore. And Indonesia is being their usual tsundere self and hates Malaysia for Polanding them, baka!

But we win quite some medals. We are seemingly concerned that we are but village champions in sports. I mean, since when did we ever reach qualifying rounds in World Cup?

Konosuba gets a third season. Re:Creators may be ending within a few weeks. Gintama will have its first action movie. And when will Neon Genesis Evangelion 4.44 will come out?

It's only a trailer for now, but... Ages of Empire IV is officially a reality!

And because they always need more money, 'definitive' eitions of the three precedent games of the series are in preparation.

Um... gonna give the Friday Forum a skip this week. I only had one thing, which is this video of the no-go area outside the Fukushima nuclear power plant; apparently when you don't let people in for six and a half years, the plant life gets really uppity.

So... yeah, I have no idea what's going on in the world out there. Has anything been released? Is anything on fire? I got nothin'. So let's turn the question around: what do you think is worth sharing out of this week's news?

Same fic as #36: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/12609460/1/Shaataz-the-villainous-Captain-of-the-Uruk-hai

- Here it surged the opportunity to feed some of my men when I killed an insignificant and irrelevant orc.

Ugluk, I know you're an orc, but surged =/= served. Not even close.

I may replace this if I find an intentional one, but for now:

...made his way towards the green haired druid who stood

impatiently at the center of the clearing, waiting for him.

"your kin have been lurking here for days something about black riders" barlim informs her and Mia takes her hood off Her hair is a chestnut brown blonde color and was cut to her shoulders and thin.

'barlim' is Barliman Butterbur, and the common way of creating minis I believe means the lowercase 'b' counts as an error (along with the missing 'an').
