Hope you continue to enjoy!

It has been a week, and unless anyone has a brilliant new nomination or serious reservations, I think we have our Permission Givers, as tallied here:

*Lily Winterwood, with at least 15 votes

*Kittyauthor, with at least 13 votes

*Thoth, with 15 votes

Congrats, everyone! I believe hS gives out the hats.

I can definitely see shared influences and themes between it and your Ixilottie material, but that's hardly a bad thing. It's kind of fun to spot the similarities, to be honest.

“Your” is corrected, and the “Serious Buis—“ is unfinished because Mina’s interrupting him.

This is very much not annoying; I really like concrit.

Thank you for the kind comments, I plan to write more with Mina and Carlisle (including a sporking of I’m not Okay). It’s nice to see another My Immortal Wiki-er here! By the way, what’s your Fandom username (if you have one, just out if curiosity)?

—Ls, happy that someone else is interested in his wiki-ing and characters.

just pointing out:

“While you had you beauty sleep,” said Carlisle. “We were assigned a short one-chapter fic in the Harry Potter continuum.” - the "you" should probably be "your"

“This is Serious Buis—“ wouldn't it be Serious Business?

(please tell me if this is annoying and I'll stop/not point any out in the future, genuinely)

Your mission's really cool by the way! Poor mini Hermoine, that was quite an ordeal they just went through. May their time at HFA be more relaxing. I think I read this fic at some point while I was binging the My Immortal Wiki (the fact that you're admin on that wiki is awesome, I remember seeing your posts/comments as well). Overall, bye bye Sue, hello Carlisle and Mina, and I'm eagerly looking forward to see their missions as they come out. Their interactions & dynamic are really interesting!

The ladies are back, and things are getting rough in Middle-earth.

But I’ll add the correct coding when I have the time.

“Posses” fixed, and yes, it is “neuralyzer”, with a “y”.

You have to put a < b > before the bold and a < / b > afterwards for ao3, for some reason (no spaces though). If you did that and it didn't work, then I have no clue.

Also quick spelling mistake, 'He turned to Draco. “And you posses blond hair and light grey eyes. Neither of you know Hermione as Maya, as that is not and has never been her name.” ' has a spelling mistake in possess (at least in the ao3 version, I don't know about the other one)

Wait is Neuralyzer spelt with an "i" or a "y"? I've been spelling it with a "y" but I might be wrong.

But I don’t think I’m writing anything with Mina.

(And I think their boat would be named the Mina, because Mina would like that.)

—Ls

I’ll keep Els nice and warm cold.

—Ls

They’re so...shiny. And the SO is pretty cute there.

Here. However, the bold doesn’t work for some reason.

—Ls

I’ll add that I don’t know Thoth well enough to vote for him, so I’m abstaining.

—Ls

I was out of town and missed this. Sadness.

Mina and Carlisle’s first mission can be found here. It features: a badfic by a certain pair of Suethors, lots of yelling, and a Hermione replacement that really hates minis.

Tone is difficult, and you could have been anything from furious to traumatised to, well, just being clear. :)

I'm sorry that things have been so stressful; I hope that the PPC is still playing some part in helping you cope.

The canon is that humans are actually the juvenile form of a species called the Pak*. To obtain true adult form, they need to eat Tree-of-life, which mutates them into hyperintelligent, biologically armoured immortals called Protectors.

(*Extra detail: Pak juveniles are sub-sapient. Homo sapiens is an isolated population which evolved intelligence, and so human Protectors are actually even smarter than the standard.)

Mallith is perfectly good Sindarin! Unfortunately what it means is "golden ash (not the tree)" ; I suspect they might have been aiming for the older meaning of lith as "sand".

Perpetua, however, is not.

The very long second Despatch chapter!

Tales from Despatch: Teddy Bear - Celeste, Part 1

Haven't reread, but a glance at the end shows this is the one with Reality Dysfunction. Fun times.

I love the interactions between Jay and the console in the beginning, both the threat to hold off on the mission actually working, and her fury leading her to punch it after her nap. Although, that means she went back on their deal, doesn't it? Good luck getting it to listen again! I also love her deapna, "My fist is bleeding," in Medical afterwards. Oh, that "rare default: 'Home in on Sue'" is interesting; I usually think of portals as only accepting time and location coordinates, but it seems there are other settings. Too close to a work shift to muddle over that right now, though.

I definitely understand the upset J+A feel here. The weird, Medieval hierarchical society that the badfic author has imposed on Rivnedell and its elves feels very gross. Elves are kind of formal, yeah, but in a casual way, if that makes sense? Like, yeah, they act respectfully to each other, but . . . I guess that's it. Even the leadership is respectful to other elves, none of this ladies-in-waiting and banquets for visiting royalty nonsense. But it also makes me cringe to read Jay wanting to attack the author, and basically condoning torture as punishment. sigh

Minor stuff:
Her hair is amaretto? So she's bald (but sticky) once it dries?
Why name your faithful horse Mallith? Is that even functional in any Elvish language? And Naming an elf Perpetua is just . . . weirdly on-the-nose, and illogical within an actual Elvish society. They're all perpetual!
Anybody know what that "tree-of-life" that gets referenced at Medical is referencing? Tried to search, but it keeps giving me real world radiation poisoning . . .

—doctorlit, cutting the time close this morning

I just wanted to be clear.

But then, I'm never wholly okay. There's normal stresses and strains. There's my hip sucking. There's my mental health issues, which at this point are collected in leather-bound hardbacks. I'm coping but I'm not okay.

I think I wouldn't have accepted even if I was.
