That certainly counts as awful! I know the second movie quite well. My dad went through a phase shortly after we got a VCR (I was nine) of watching Aliens nearly every day--for about a year straight. Our house was small, so if the TV was on, no matter where you were, you could hear it. I could quote every line ahead of the movie. That fic is just wow. It really is true that people will slash anything.

Okay, another NSFW/NSFB fic. It has been Killed. This actually has the one image from Bad Slash that I really wish I had real life Bleeprin to deal with. This is NC-17 for some rather explicit and disturbing material.

And as for linking, I'll tell you exactly what Miah told me.

Replace the [] with in the following:

…that they were in the service of the Big Bad?

and Eragon. *99% of readers goes away*. Wait! No, seriously. The fic is called Discovery, and it is the first lemon fic I've enjoyed. Wonder why? READ. It is not one of my favorite parodies of lemon-summaries that is rated K+...

And I have no idea how to link. Sorry.

WASABI

Or to have my blessings, or- whatever that means.

Have some Skör bars. I would give you a little plastique for your agents but my stash is running out fast. Remind me later, and I'll get something awesome to make up for it.

And, if you were wondering, everyone gets tall ships and plovers, and plovers are a cute kind of bird.

Was your name taken from Shakespeare? I love Midsummer Night's dream. The version with Christian Bale and the mudfight was hilarious. Who knew Puck could still be Puck half-bald?
Anyways, you'll soon notice that a good deal of important stuff, once dealt with, will dissolve into a lot of nattering on. Which just happens to be what I'm doing.

We really need a wiki article on that...

But yeah, what the others are saying is pretty close to what I'm thinking, too. If you're reading along, and you come to a metaphor and you automatically interpret it as the figurative meaning, then that's a good, non-obstrusive metaphor. (Or simile. They work much the same way.) On the other hand, if you're reading along and the metaphor is jarring enough that you're suddenly picturing it literally, or you're trying to figure out what it means--that's the kind of metaphor where the continuum will struggle to interpret it and finally just settle on the literal version.

One caution to fellow autistic-spectrum writers, though: If you tend to take things literally by nature, remember that tendency when you're checking for misuse/abuse of metaphors. When I was a kid, I took things ultra-literally, finally got annoyed enough that I studied an idiom dictionary meant for non-native English speakers, and got the hang of it, with the result that now I use metaphors frequently, and often metaphors that are original to me. So I've actually swung to the opposite end of the continuum, and have to watch out that I don't over-use the things. Bottom line--if you're autistic, or if you tend to take things literally for some other reason (simply nerdiness can be enough and there's plenty of that here!), be careful about metaphors.

You were right. That really was pointless.

Don't see why killed fics wouldn't count. Dead or alive, badfic is badfic, no?

And here's a doozy for ya. I checked out your profile on the Wiki and our respective fandoms are completely different. In this case, however, even the most cursory knowledge of canon material on your part (and of what constitutes good writing and good characterization) should be sufficient. If my assumption considering canon material is incorrect, let me know, and I'll fill you in.

One & Only NSFW/NSFB. Super stupid, with biological and psychological impossibilities a mile high. Lovely.

PS. Can I claim this baby? Because I really want to.

PPS. I find it so funny that I'm not the only one who considers this badfic-swap a game. Might become a trend!

Have a pineapple. Even if you don't plan on venturing into badfic any time soon, it's still good for self-defense. And sustenance. Almost forgot about that. Enjoy your stay!

I was starting to think I was crazy for liking metaphores.

Have a panda that eats, shoots and leaves! I'm sure he will fit in quite nicely with you. :D

WARNING! Strongly NSFW/NSFB.

I've opened this one:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5776013/1/LoveisHereandNowYoureGone

It's a Twilight/HP crossover but it strongly reminds me of My Immortal. Less goffic, perhaps, but the heroine "thinks" approximately along the same lines (see the boy - fall in love - repeat couple times - find a way to get any/all of them to bed).

horrified on principle, but I would not get the full impact.

So, for this game, can fics that have been Killed count? (Because I have a good one, if they do.)

Until I get an answer on that: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2378306/1/Mistake NSFW/NSFB (near incoherent torture fic)

Ok, I know this is not the best of come backs with this fic, but the sheer pointlessness of it has to give it some credit.

I have made fun of some that would have been just fine in another story. For me, once the story has crossed the badfic threshold where things are manifesting literally, no metaphor is safe from literal interpretation.

In the zombie fic I did, the story said something like Mary Watson's eyes were 'aflame' with passion. I probably would not have a problem with that in a generally good story, but by that point in the story, I was a seriously ticked off reader, and not willing to give the story any slack in the suspension of disbelief area. The phrase caused her eyes to be on fire.

I know I only go the absolute literal translation route under extreme annoyance. I have gotten the impression that this often plays a part in missions.

No, I'm not sure about the fish. Feed him what you will.

don't forget you can't open the bottle ;-)
