. . . one of the nuts-and-bolts bad slash pages. At some point, people started adding either their own agents, or characters from canons they liked. Because that is what fans do. It's ultimately harmless; all the actual content of the page is right at the top, so no one is hindered from reading it by the list. It interesting to see the breakdown, too: A lot more representation in anime/manga and web-based series than in the more mainstream media.

—doctorlit, possibly answering a rhetorical question

I'd start by renaming it "Homosexuality" and go on to develop the ideas discussed in the lead; when does writing a character as gay work, when doesn't it, etc. I could do without the list, personally, and Wikipedia is also doing the job—probably better than we are. We could link to that category instead of having our own, less adequate list taking up space.

Whatever happens, though, the list of gay/lesbian agents should stay.

I might make a separate page for bisexuality, too, since bi folks have their own challenges in real life and in (fan)fiction.

• You are not allowed, even in casual conversation, to tell any agents who know Steven Universe that they should ship Lapis/Jasper. Nothing good can come from such a proposal on any level.
  -- God help you if you tell ANYONE that they should ship any World One celebrity with another. Different reason, same result.

Overall, I thought it was a fantastic interlude. Elanor's interactions are adorable, and her parents are exactly what one would expect (I'd like to see an AU with her dad as an agent, actually). Zeb being effectively the father figure, even if he is an uncle, is the only smart decision, as magic potions make really terrible paternal figures.

Quick notes I promised-

"He cradled his granddaughter and a kiss on her cheek."

and

"The Aviator took Elanor from her monther, and. . . got her under the Aviator's shirt."
- This is a bit redundant.

Those two bits aside, you have a lovely, hearts-warming interlude.

I expect great things from Elinorelisindrivar. She's certainly got an excellent place to start.

Why do we have this page? Do we really need a list of LGBT characters in fiction?

And yeah, sure, LaTeX away.

All on-board the hype train!

Everything - all the questionable decisions he made during the publication of the Silmarillion, his refusal to allow us to see a Silm TV series, his ridiculous idea that the Children of Hurin needed to be published separately: everything.

Next year, we finally get a Beren and Luthien standalone book.

"I never called Edith Luthien – but she was the source of the story that in time became the chief plan of the ‘Silmarillion.’ It was first conceived in a small woodland glade filled with hemlocks at Roos in Yorkshire (where I was for brief time in command of an outpost of the Humber Garrison in 1917, and she was able to live with me for a while). In those days her hair was Raven, her skin clear, her eyes brighter than you have seen them, and she could sing – and dance."

Super super excited.

So this was all-around cute and heartwarming (so if that's what you wanted, mission accomplished). I think the two bits I liked the best were the thing with the quilt and "You're not running off to become an agent."

My only complaint right now is that I'm not entirely clear on why Alex thinks that Farilan and Mrs. Dives will get along "great" (all I gathered is that he's being sarcastic, and that the meeting will be not-so-great for at least one of the parties). And on that note, I want to see that meeting!

The Aviator's family pays her a visit.

((I'll go for modifications when I can.))

I'd just be on the lookout for instances where the appearance of the number when written a certain way might be part of a joke. I can't think of any offhand, but it's the sort of thing I'd expect of mathematically inclined PPCers. {= )

~Neshomeh, not one of them.

...in Robin Hood: Men in Tights just to see what happens. He's not that kind of ranger.
>>That goes double for Power Rangers.

>I am not allowed to shoot bullets at Homura Akemi from various distances in order to figure out how quickly she can react to them.
>>If I do try and do so, I accept that shortly thereafter, I will have several bullets buried in several lethal places. I may also explode.
>>In fact, I am not allowed to shoot any form of projectile at any canon in order to determine their reaction times.

>Speaking of prison jokes, I will not make them around Bastille Dartmoor.
>>Seriously, have you seen what she can do with that sword of hers?

Then again, Laburnum/Hemlock used it quite a bit for a similar(ish) reason, so who knows?

*hands over brain bleach* Just return that when you're finished, I'm still trying to get Luna-with-male-parts out of my head...

I figured, well, if Ix is a self-insert, it only made sense. Glad to know you approve. :3

That was a great mission- I haven't read many recently, so this was a particular delight for me. :D

Also hell yeah more casual LGBTQ+ representation I approve of this

Accurate number presentation is as important as spelling words correctly, after all!

—doctorlit 's father is a math teacher, so

I like that thought!

A couple more points to consider:

*Do not write Slorp/Luxury fics
**Even if it is totally canon

*Kylo Ren does not wear lingerie under his otufit, and we are not to imply that he does
**Especially when in a Star Wars fic
***Definitely not when Kylo is around
**Do not ask Kylo Ren if he wears lingerie under his outfit
**Or General Hux
**Or Captain Phasma
**Rey, Finn, and Poe Dameron are right out

*General Hux does not actually have an ice cream cone on him at all times
**Do not ask to see his 'ice cream cone'

Then, the remains disintegrated, and a fan emerged from a hatch in the ceiling. It turned on, blew the dust away, turned off, then retreated back into the ceiling. The hatch closed, then disappeared as if it had never been. There was the sound of another hatch opening, and behind the agents, a machine gun descended from the ceiling and aimed itself at the pair. The door in front of the swung open.

"Please enter the room now."

Apparently I'm not allowed to start a cult revolving around my Mary-Sue self insert. Even if one of the sacred bylaws mentions very strongly not to kill people in my name. And even if it was a complete accident.

So when I was adding stuff on to the Wiki the other day I noticed that it has LaTeX (Pronounced Lay-Tek) compatibility. What this means is that using it I could go through the Wiki and make all the mathematics in it look nice (the biggest change this would bring would be the list of RC's where fractions and powers etc. would look correct). Figured I would bring this to people's attention and ask if said people don't mind this being done or not?

The Guardsman retrieved his broken RA and started zapping it with his laser screwdriver. "Rule number one: never play fair. Those Suvians aren't playing fair so props to them, I guess, but I'm not gonna start waltzing into their stupid traps."

"Same," said Naya as she fished some extra RA components from her suit pockets. "Besides, ten minutes is a long time."

The Guardsman grinned. "So you know that door is gonna open in two minutes, right?"

Behind her visor, Naya grinned as well. "Better work fast, then," she said as she handed the components to her partner.
