...but our Canon Sue page lists multiple Suvian non-MCs, such as Angel from Maximum Ride. She is very sparkly.

I currently have 3 pieces on my regular playlist: Waltz No. 2 from Suite for Variety Orchestra by Shostakovich, Waltz of the Flowers from the Nutcracker suite by Tchaikovsky, Waltz from Masquerade Suite by Khachaturian. Anyone wanna pitch in with recommendations?

So, when I was browsing Reddit, I came across this post that seems to suggest that Sabo from One Piece is a Canon Stu. I don't really know for sure, since Sabo doesn't really count as a main character and to me, that is probably what can make or break Canon Sue/Stu/Ooh status to me. What do you think?

Hey, this was great! I wasn't familiar with the original story, but you explained it well enough that I understood how the characters were feeling about the situation. And, uh, yeah, the actual nature of the haunted house is perfect PPC! I especially love the detail that the 4DK were clearly being observed the whole time, but only for the sake of being messed with.

Also, I like that this isn't just a World One-style haunted house, but requires use of canon knowledge in order to work for the guests. I wonder what other meta-involving scare houses have popped up in HQ over the years . . .

If it was 10 getting dragged out of the past by something else, I could understand that. I don't know if I like the whole "14th Doctor" thing. Hopefully Rusty's just trolling...

You literally cannot be an agent though; agents are OCs that Permitted writers write.

Have a mini snek! They come with hats!

My bad, I haven't been here in a hot minute so my memory's a bit foggy. As for the original series, I think I started it a while ago but a little recap never hurt anyone.

Welcome, and have some Common Sense. It’s rather rare these days...

Perchance, have you read the Original Series? It’s at the top of the page.

Funnily enough, I’m pretty sure we’ve had some other Lilies before, including Lily Winterwood.

Information about me available here.

Um, as for being an agent, that’s not...quite how it works? I’ll just give you the link.

Oooo thank you :)

Given something like this was foreshadowed by the Curator, it's just a brief special, and DW does "let's bring back past Doctors" for specials on the regular, why does it being a regeneration make it insulting instead of fun?

Especially since we know literally nothing about the story right now. It could be a dream, or some other shenanigans, just to mess with our heads. I mean, isn't Donna at risk of death if she ever meets the Doctor again? So if she's involved, there must be shenanigans afoot, right? Not that DW doesn't play fast and loose with its own lore, but that doesn't exactly argue against my point. {= P

Hi, nice to meet you all, I'm Lily! (Adult, He/him FTM) I stumbled onto this series when I was a kid and wanted to check in on it again. I was hoping to possibly become an agent myself. Reading super bad and cheesy fanfic is sort of a guilty pleasure of mine, so I think I'll fit right in! Hope we can all get along :)

In the books, house-elves do work at Hogwarts, but you're right, cooking for yourself can be very rewarding! It can also be very frustrating when you mess things up, though. I'm glad to hear you like to cook. It's a very good life skill to have!

Take your time in reading! It's a long, harrowing chapter.

“I am interested in the magical world,” retorted Harry, brows furrowing. “I just don’t see why it has to have all of these extra rules and layers.”

Harry has a very good point. I don't see why, either.

Cooking and house-elves, eesh. Cooking my own food is something I love doing, and it makes me happy that I can throw things together that actually taste decent. It's also a family thing. Most of my folks are good cooks, and I suppose it's something of a tradition that I want to continue.

That's all I have for now. I am very behind on reading this.

Unfortunately the community cat I feed hates being petted. :P

I don't think Harry suspected Sev of wanting to hurt him. He's just relaying Hermione's suspicions, since Sev's the one openly chanting while the real culprit was doing it nonverbally. Which is why he drops it, because he doesn't actually believe she did it.

By faking Lily and Harry's deaths, Sev's open act of defiance against Gaunt does make her more closely aligned with Harry (or, more precisely, Lily). But since this Harry has more than one parent figure/mentor, the secrets sort of... get diffused amongst them? If there is a very big secret that Sev would rather die first than admit to Harry, though, it's probably her ongoing feelings for Lily. :P Even if everyone else saw it the moment she helped Lily escape.

Similarly, the Dumbledorian lines get diffused out, too. I feel like fandom gives Dumbledore way too much credit for his hand in orchestrating Harry's years at Hogwarts in canon; in this one Harry's just some guy whose mum is the bigger target for Gaunt's ire. So he's not the only one Harry can turn to for nuggets of wisdom!

And thank you for the compliment! The deeper I get into this, the more I feel like it's not just skewering the fanon AU but also some of the worse parts of the canon. I want to bring out more of the original sentiment of fighting against bigotry! It's very clearly needed in Purityworld :P

Dang, Lily, this chapter really makes me want to go find a cat to pet! : )

It's nice seeing more of Sev, here. Without Lily in the room, she's much more laid back and relaxed. I do find it funny that Harry still accuses Sev of enchanting his broom, but either lets it drop or gets too distracted to hear an explanation for what really happened. So much of the original series is centered around Snape keeping secrets; I'm really curious to see how you're going to write around that!

"For some people, the world is only ever divided in two. The gain of one side is viewed as the loss of another."
Aaaaaaah. Again, jeeze, such a reflection of real world culture. And again, it's a very Dumbledorian line, despite not being spoken by the man himself. (Also, this text box doesn't recognize "Dumbledorian" as a typo, despite the fact that I very literally made it up just now? What!?)

(I keep saying "you write lines like Dumbledore" as code for "you write lines that remind me of some of the good, wise lines Rowling writes," but without wanting to sound like I'm saying "you write like Mean TERF Lady" so just understand when I say it, it's a compliment that you're emulating the better parts of canon, not that I'm trying to shove you in a box with her or anything.)

—doctorlit, neurotic that his compliments don't get taken the wrong way

Those fics on the other hand…

Still better than the badfic series about shagging the original old racist version.

And I say this as someone who liked Ten! Rusty needs to Let It Go! And also this does such a disservice not just to Jodie but also to Ncuti Gatwa!

Also, I hate this move. It makes it seem like they think casting Jodie as 13 was a huge mistake and that they have to earn back fan approval by giving them the most popular Nu Who Doctor.

So there. My world has been thoroughly shaken.
