If the canons kill the Stu in the end, what would the PPC even be doing? The hacker would be doing our job for us.

this fic is finished, and the "hacker chapter" is the last.

despite the Stu's obsession with girls, very few female canons show up; he mainly dawdles with Sakura and a bunch of Sues. That means Hinata, Ino, Temari etc. are safe from his Stufluence.

but someone else should.

Then the author will come back and write four more chapters, then leave on a cliffhanger. (Yes, I know far too much about that particular badfic.)

Well, if it's doing that, then it's just Naruto!My Immortal. (I can tell it's bad, and I know know nothing about Naruto.)

[profanity]-ing Stu.

At the end, in true My Immortal fashion, there's a "hacker chapter" in which the Stu meets an untimely end at the hands of canon characters with the help of an OC introduced midway through the fic. If anyone missions this, I think it might be a good idea to recruit that Edfred guy.

(He dares, 'cause he's a Stu.)

The Stu starts a band at one point, which plays music sounding like "a cross betwen prince and led zepplin and bon jovi", and has masterful lyrics works. They are also said to be the only good musicians left after all Top 40 artists are killed in a plane crash, ignoring the fact Naruto doesn't take place in our world.

Tricky formatting is tricky.

Now I wanna parody "We Don't Talk About Bruno" to fit that context lol.

I beg to differ. hides my playlists away from this fic

That's the only thing I can say about this.

Also, what defines "modern" here? Does the Stu just like classical music? Or is "modern" anything post-2000s? Is it any sort of music after 1950? Does the Stu like Maple Leaf Rag (published 1899, but repopularized (if I'm reading right) during the 1970s)?

Okay, maybe I'm thinking too hard for badfic, but still. What defines modern?

That one's not even fun to read...ugh. Truly atrocious. (But yes, feel free to nominate as many fic as you like.) (And doesn't that need a spoiler warning?)

(Sorry, couldn't help myself.)

Not publishing it yet until I feel good about it, though, and get it beta'd (of course). That will be mission 3, and that's why there's a running joke about "we don't talk about Mission 3" as David Null suffered some damage to his sanity.

Ronan Beelzub (be warned, fic is intensely NSFW and NSFB) the Naruto Stu whose fic is worse than For Your Eyes Only in terms of squickiness, boggling story and atrocious technique. He's also responsible for an army of minis and mini-Stus due to the fic's inordinately high concentration of terrible SPaG. To give you an idea of how bad it is, this is the first paragraph (excerpt contains NSFW mentions):

the SPaG, it hurts

I'm not comfortable with giving out my address. If you don't mind my asking, what characters are available?

It has to be one badfic with a title that is, well, does exactly what it says. It's called "Pbql'f zcert ovegu" (rot13'd) and it basically delivers that.

Warning for the blacklist items coming into play.

Cont., with added bl3

So yeah.

Oh! I nearly forgot! The grammar is poor. The entire text has two paragraph breaks. Two. It's a text wall otherwise. Several characters speak one another's lines. It annoying, even without the content.

I tried nominating it for Bleepfic earlier, but that fell through.

It's horrible. It haunts my dreams sometines.

Family Mart is currently doing an offer of Touken Ranbu clearfiles with purchases of snacks. I think it’s a tie in with the new film? If you’re interested in a clearfile and you’re comfortable with giving me a shipping address, I can grab one for you.

No pressure to, of course, since it involves addresses, but I have sent holiday cards to Boarders before!

In the opening scene, I was amused by the reversal of attitude by Jay and Acacia regarding the flames: Acacia is optimistic about their uses, while Jay is reticent and untrusting. Would have been fun if that reversal continued all throughout this mission, but instead, they both end up grumpy. The whole time. It's actually kind of unpleasant to read? (And makes me regret Doc and Vania arguing during "Pick Your Poison;" is that equally unpleasant?!) It's not really resolved by the end of the mission either . . . hopefully the next one either addresses it or returns the status quo.

A couple interesting points that clash with the modern day in this one. Jay rather casually offers to tag herself and her partner out for another agent team. This might have been quite common before the Reorganisation, when staffing and funds were better, but it's going to get less and less feasible from now on! Jay had better not get used to it! Jay also reads the Words of this fic within HQ itself, explicitly after shutting off her console's display, but before opening any portal. That doesn't make much sense, even by the weird standards of how HQ works. If nothing else, wouldn't every badfic loaded up for missions in that moment be visible at once, making the Words of any particular story nearly impossible to make out? Also, Jay fears getting in trouble for returning to HQ mid-mission this time, and especially doesn't want to risk doing it twice. But didn't they just make an HQ stop mid-mission a few missions ago? I guess they got reprimanded for that off-screen! But out of universe, I wonder why such a quick change on that being against the rules?

Ah, what a difference between this bird scene, and a certain other one that doesn't need to be linked to, eh? back on that thread, I gave some examples of rewriting that other scene to be funny, but here, authors!Jay and Acacia go the other route, and provide a sensitive, empathetic, and humorless set of scenes, arguing to save the bird, and eventually doing so. I forget if Kes ever gets mentioned again, and I wonder what it's been up to in HQ since then? Maybe it hung out with Kestra and Kestrel, and yes, I checked the glossary to see if Kes was there, can you tell

Minor bits:
-I never picked up on the fact that Jay's orc disguise (possibly all of them?) still wears glasses on the face! A hilarious mental image!
-Why was this story titled "All Souls Night?" It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Halloween, although it does bring up Boromir's soul at least a couple times. Huh.
-Sad that deviantART link in the author note is dead. Did anyone save that image? I don't suppose it's the one on our Wiki's Marquis de Sod page?
-Just want to point out an excellent pair of lines:
. . . and Jay had either to follow or be left behind.

Jay considered this for a moment. And then marched away in a different direction.
Beautiful. Flawless. 12/10. We should all be more like Jay.

—doctorlit had a whole bit planned where Miss Minutes was going to return from the last review and do this review for him while this rogue timeline got pruned. Then, when she got to the bird part, she was going to freak out at the existing timeslip and unpruned lines. Then doctorlit was going to back for the next review like he had escaped from the TVA because the events of the Trickster's show had taken place, and all timelines are valid now. But it was already getting late, and now it's VERY late, and there just isn't time for hijinks. doctorlit is sorry.
