My imagination went immediately to a superhero in a dinosaur costume, or being an actual anthropomorphic dinosaur, haunting the mountains until the word world realizes that he is supposed to be Saruman and at Orthanc. I’m not fond of the inflationary spawning of minis at any opportunity, and the mini manifesting at Moria when Gandalf spoke its name at Caradhras is I bit too convenient for my taste. The need to catch the mini (and then watch Sauroman the raptor instead) might have been a reason to follow the fellowship, or to quickly portal there and back again. But then, Dawn and Zeb had more important stuff to do.

The agents trailed after the Fellowship until they came to a stop at a short staircase. The Lady of Light appeared in front of them.
...
"Why did they bring the horse up so many stairs? ... "
What’s going on here? In the book, the fellowship climbed a long staircase to meet Galadriel and Celeborn. Since I don’t remember what was shown in the movie, the fanfic’s short staircase may actually be accurate to movieverse. But then, I don’t know much about horses, and even this might be too many steps. But then, it’s not even clear whether The Lady of Light appeared upstairs or downstairs. (Hey, it’s the Department of Inaccuracies trying to break through; don’t blame me.) Unfortunately, I didn’t take notes of a previous occurrence where Dawn appeared to base a comment on her memory of canon rather than on what had been told in the fanfic, and now I don’t find it again. Anyway, I’m snickering about the canon expert not actually paying attention to the boring fanfic, but I’m not sure whether I’m supposed to. Zeb wondering what "many stairs" Dawn is talking about might have helped to clarify that this is intentional – if it is.

Also, some typos:

The Sue stumbled to her little feet and promptly fell over, tripped by her the giant green dress ...
You need either "her" or "the", but not both.

Zeb hesitated, them gingerly picked her up, unsure if he was supposed to cradle her or hold her at arm’s length.
"them" should be "then".

The child thought about it, leaning her head against Dawn arm and frowning.
"Dawn" should be "Dawn’s".

Overall, this was a fun read. The end of the mission was unexpected but sweet, and I liked Dawn and Zeb’s pre- and post-mission interactions with the Aviator.

Welcome to the board! Here, have a replica of Murasame from Akame ga Kill. It can't do a one hit kill, but it's still very sharp.

You're twenty?!

You have a voice like an ageless robot, and the dirty, dirty mind of either a boy of nine who's just learnt dirtiness, or a very, very old man of eighty who cares not for morals any more.

So I suppose if you add all those up and look at the average... that looks about twenty?
I guess?
Either way


HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARDPY BIRDTHAYY SORRY I DIDN'T SEE THIS EARLIER

Been writing fanfics again, Kuroko no Basuke have no shortage of interesting characters and powers. Here, have a Rule Breaker replica. Can't break rules with it, unfortunately.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
MAY ALL YOUR WISHES COME TRUE
HOPE NOBODY MAKES YOU BLUE
AND YOUR CAKE DOESN'T EXPLODE IN GOO!

*blows noisemakers*

As a present, please accept this drawing of a dragon. It's a bit smudged because I'm impatient and I didn't wait for the lineart to dry.

In honor of your 20th birthday, I gift you #20 in the Pokédex: Raticate! But not just any boring old Raticate! Your gift is an Alolan Raticate! Part Dark-type, it is quite useful against any Psychic or Ghost-types that try to pester you!

And all I caught was a possible missing scene break. You might want to add a scene break before the paragraph starting "Inside the fic, Zeb ran a tongue over his protruding teeth and grimaced."

Also, are we seeing a possible Zeb/Dawn ship, or is it well and truly torpedoed?

"Grandfather, I continued your work! Aren't you proud of me?"

"Go away."

Ooh, please get around to the Labyrinth OFU eventually; I would love to see that. OFUs in general are the best, and Labyrinth in particular would be such fun.

Honestly...it's nothing good. :V but it is funny, and that's all that really matters.

It's been a while, but I've finally gathered the courage to step back in again!

For those of you not in the know, I go by the handle OpinionedAngel, and I used to frequent this place ages ago. I even wanted to start writing missions... but due to a combination of procrastination and a (paranoid) fear of not living up to your standards, it never got off the ground.

But now I've decided I want to try writing again, and I figured this place would be good to start. I might have to start over again, but that's okay, I can deal with it.

So yeah, hello everyone, nice to meet you all.

Attempting to walk a few more times with no success, it pulls a miniaturized cane out of its pocket, which is shaken to full size. The clown plants the end of the cane into the sludge, attempting to dislodge itself, to no avail. "Well, Callie, it seems you've got me in quite a jam, as it were." Its masked expression briefly morphs into one of thought, before returning to a mischievous grin. "But you should really know better than to think that this would hold a clown of my caliber for very long. Ta for now!" Upon concluding, it once more reaches into its pocket and pulls out a miniaturized mirror. With the flick of a wrist, it assumes its full size, which is a rather impressive three-by-three foot square. The creature tosses the mirror into the air and assumes a diver's pose, with the mirror landing face down on top of it with a faint splat! as it strikes the slime, while Spanky disappears into it. Barely a moment later, the door to the Funhouse swings shut of its own accord and shatters into thousands of tiny fragments which are absorbed into the mirrored balcony, the wooden door revealed unchanged in its place.

/rubs hands eagerly/ I look forward to finding out what happened/will happen to the other members, now!

My gift to you: hand-knitted urple mittens, with your initials worked in wilver on the backs. Mittens have never looked this terrible beautiful.

As for the Spanish thing, I think that, for a non-English speaker to understand the PPC, I would have to translate not only the Original Series, but also at least some of the Wiki articles and spin-offs, and I'm not that confident in my English yet nor do I have the time right now, though I would like to do something to make it more available eventually. Thanks again!

I think it was lifted? It doesn't look like the sort of thing I'd invent, and the Force knows* there was enough raw material to work with.

(*Yes, I know, 'that isn't how the Force works' etc.)

Writing canon characters interacting in OFUs is extremely fun. It's... kind of odd that I didn't do much of that in OFUDisc; if Year Two ever gets off the ground, I'm sure I'll have a lot more. (And if I ever get round to that Labyrinth OFU... ah, well, such things are dreams made of.)

Mission Title: The Phoenix Files – Trevelyan, A.
Canon: James Bond/Stargate: SG-1
Rating: E
Agents: Callahan, K. [Probationary]
Time Period: January 2003
Target: Trevelyan, A. [Recruitment]
Word Count: 816
Source Summary: Hey, remember those old Team Phoenix recruitment mission thingamabobs from uhhh 2003? YOU BETTER NOT. BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL GONE. THIS IS THE RETCON. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

All of the fics cited don’t really exist, though this one’s a little bit of a self-drag. Stop writing “Alec lives due to extraordinary circumstances” fic, past me. Oops this is a bit of what Team Phoenix is, isn’t it?

That's right. I did it. Team Phoenix retcon begins now.

Part One: This Might Sting a Bit.

Egads, I'm quite excited! I'm thinking I'll go with a second OFU, since, as you said, the original is long gone. This is going to be so fun. Thanks again, hS!

Oh, yes, I remember that standalone now. The mental image of Poe and Finn sitting on Kylo Ren's back is ceaselessly amusing. Did you invent that badfic passage, or was it lifted from an actual fic?

Dang, I'm 20 now. Not really sure what else to say here but I know birthday posts are a Thing.

But not placing characters in them can make you bore easily. That is why I do crossovers. I also want to do crackfics, but it always end up making me uncomfortable instead of laughing.

I've never attempted one myself, it's so hard to get them right and not end up with OOC or something like that, good luck! I know the bare minimum about them, but they do seem complicated to to integrate.
Yep, it was set in the Third Generation, since it gave me more freedom to introduce my plot (even though the writing is questionable, I've always liked to keep my stories in a Could Actually Happen scenario so at least it was faithful to canon) but then the Cursed Child came, so I guess it's an AU now.

Have an araucaria cone! I don't think have anything in any language other than English, although if there were people willing to maintain content in other languages, there's no reason we couldn't/

A Kuroko no Basuke and Mount and Blade crossover. It is quite a challenge. I have to rearrange the characters around to keep their relationships canon to the manga and anime. And then there's a ton, and I mean A TON of characters in M&B, and I can't fit them all in without feeling it was shoehorned.

What was the fandom of your old fic? Is it Potterverse? And good luck with original stuff. For some reason I can't make new original stories.
