... at the end of Of Wolves and Fellowship, helping out with returning a chunk of forest to its correct time. I even namedropped Joe. ^_^

Here, have a link!

DMFF agents have also shown up in at least one issue of the Multiverse Monitor, namely the one dealing with the aftermath of the 2013 Blackout. I think it's the May edition. In the relevant article, they were ensuring that the various creatures and objects that had ended up in HQ went back to the right places in the right canons.

I've never heard of that department. Could someone please explain?

He doesn't look at the camera.

((I think he's well and truly broken at this point.))

... in the Grand Final. =]

In which Dafydd is sad, and I accidentally create myself yet another new character. Oops!

I think we do have all the DMFF stuff; I've also got the Goddess trio's original Suefics from the Pit backed up. (Though what the authors would think of those being saved for posterity . . . I don't know. <.>
The one thing I would love to have for the Wiki, that seems to have disappeared for good, was Elvea's fanart of Meneltari from the top of this page:
http://web.archive.org/web/20040209142122/http://www.elvea-aure.0catch.com:80/images/other.html
But in the long run, better to have all the text stuff saved. I can't whine too much over an illustration. *shrug*

—doctorlit has a hazy plan to eventually hand-draw art for all the characters missing page images someday, but it's lowest-low priority, if only to stave off the resulting damage to other Boarders' vision as long as possible

It just didn't quite work out, between moving suddenly and a bunch of other stuff. Maybe next year! I will keep saying this until it's true! {= D

That's awesome! Kudos for having great luck and the sense and/or courage to try it!

I sent you that other stuff from the DMFF at some point, too, right? Lemme see... "Sue Phrases" and the "Tolkien Encyclopedia of Canonical Flora" and "Tolkien Encyclopedia of Canonical Fauna"? We could have pretty much the whole department, I think!

... this particular group of kids are involved because they're in the Buds and Sprouts, and because Dafydd's whole family are involved in that movement. I don't think the Illian kids actually go to Nursery, though I might be wrong about that.

On the other hand, heck yeah they are! It's excellent preparation for life in the PPC! Elanor (Laison, established as a Nursery worker nine years ago for a year from now, good grief) is probably using the show to teach them about betting, and having the older kids calculate the odds for each remaining contestant. It's educational!

hS :D :D

Now you'rem aking me believe Saki might be the Nursery's favourite contes-wait.

Wait.

The Nursery kids are watching the Games?

It's been astonishingly difficult working up the motivation to write the episodes (which is why they keep being both late and weird - 'Dafydd talks to camera' is just dull), so it's good to know the effort has been worthwhile. :)

Kaitlyn: I'm making frieeeends. I made friends with this awesome lady who has a steampunky dragon, I am so jealous. I think we got on really well, too - she was certainly much more fun than the Time Lady and the violent guy I met during the day.

((Haha Agent Kaitlyn has a crush on Caprice. >:D))

Morgan: I'm doing my best to not die by not doing anything that might upset anyone. It seems to be working.

Kyaris: Medical supplies? What do I need with medicine? I'm still nimble enough to evade that Levy woman, aren't I?

Elven jewellers just, like, sing the pieces together, dwarves hammer them, and humans are too dirty and stupid to make any jewellery in the first place. ^_^

More seriously, in our history, screwdrivers date to the late 15th century, and decent screws only came in with the Industrial Revolution. Third Age Middle-earth is mostly pre-Middle Ages, and certainly pre-Industrial.

She's only seen one anime episode ever (at a friend's house), so when you say 'Japanese girl' she immediately jumps to 'magical school uniform'. She'd pretty much wear that if you told her she was going to be fighting Godzilla.

For those who now want to read the full exploits of the DMFF, the rest are archived here (and I've tucked the new link in to go with them). ... except for the last one, which for some reason I never did? I'll get right on that.

Thank you!

(And yes, it's well over a decade - I did my archival in 2008, and remember that they'd been gone for ages by then. Also I archived the rest of these nine years ago sweet mercy.)

I completely lost track of time. Tomorrow at Convenient O'Clock?

It was a long shot, but I tried Elvea's old email, and lo and behold, it was still active! And an even greater stroke of luck: she still had a hard drive with a copy of the one mission of hers that's been missing!

Presenting for the first time in possibly a decade: Agents Joe and Meneltari rid Middle-earth of a very scene-stealing unicorn.

—doctorlit feels like he has accomplished something this year

that this episode, in particular, was absolutely bloody adorable? Those children are both bloody funny and also really, really accurate to how children act.
I suppose you got experience with them, but still! Was awesome.

But, yes! T'was great.

The Enervated Rat-Catcher
*The bags on his eyes are deep and long and his face has gone red. He is in a sort of daze, leaning against a rock. He looks very enervated.*

Hello, PPC legend Acacia Byrd, I fink yer incredibly cute, too. Yes, PPC legend Acacia Byrd, I agree wif that statement. No, PPC legend Acacia Byrd, I don't fink yer a hallucination as a result of my horrendous madness brought on by a consistent lack of sleep and perhaps unfortunate chemicals in my brain. Yes, PPC legend Acacia Byrd, you do got me wrapped hopelessly around yer finger.

The Enervated Rat-Catcher
Yeah, dunno. Nuffin much's happened. I saw a lightsaber fight. And I saw someone sharpenin her hair. But other'n that, nuffin much's happened.
