That's right. I managed two, though they are acapella...and very inappropriate for the current time of year, if you think about it...Ah, well.

I apologize for the crappiness. My laptop was doused in torrential waters and has not revived since, so everything was done on my desktop which is almost a good decade old. Think when XP first came out. Add a few more years. Yeah.

Anyways...here are two songs that I didn't butcher so much. Or tried not to butcher. I actually sing better than this...I sound especially better with music backing me...

I'LL TRY BETTER NEXT TIME! *goes to sit in the corner of woe*

PPC Is Coming to Town
Console Yells

On another musical note I am asking if anyone has any PPC related songs that I can sing or have any ideas to songs I can parody. =D I've already got one MAJOR one from 'Once More With Feeling' in the works. Any suggestions or pointings to any song that is singable (in other words, the lyrics have the proper flow of the original song and wasn't haphazardly put together) would be loved.

Also, this is a bit of the song from OMWF I want to do~!

I read the fic, and it sickens me
The rips in Canon have taken their tolls
Yet I still see
Even more Sue heresy
I got to fill those plot holes
Now in my room, it's filled with beeps
To call me now into the door
To save an elf
Or maybe help myself
To the Sue on the floor

So I will
Walk through the portal
Canon needs me still.
I will
Walk through the portal
And I will - -

Something like that. XD

Ah, that would be interesting. Especially since all of them are so different. Drag in the one from the video game, too, and things are bound to get interesting.

The problem is, That Author's version is occasionally interesting but far too much of a Stu to actually care about. It was about a third of the way through his second jab at the franchise that I, for a half-second, began to feel for the impostor Bourne.

Then again, that goodwill was swiftly squandered when he gave Bourne a PS3 to use as a computer.*

*(See "Wall Banger"; "Dethroning Moment of Suck".)

When Scotty is ordered to take control of the prototype USS Excelsior. The Admiral calls the rank Captain of Engineering, though to be honest thats the only time its mentioned. So it might only apply when the main role of running the ship is engineering. http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Captainofengineering

Well, I still disagree; if you mean Scotty, for example, he held the rank of captain but was in the position of chief engineer, but those were fairly special circumstances (stealing a ship and all to run off and save his friend); if the chief engineer is acting as captain (like Trip Tucker did in some Enterprise), then he doesn't have the rank of captain and can't introduce himself as such. So I still disagree. But of course, it's possible that twenty years of watching Star Trek has muddled my brain and I've forgotten something. If so, please direct me to whatever episodes or movie scenes prove me wrong - I want to know.

Also, it doesn't have to be a month - you can ask again as soon as you feel ready. Sorry if I made it sound overly formal and difficult; that wasn't the intention.

If we let the three versions of Bourne all get together and point them at someone... which one would do what? Even That Author's version could be interesting... as for explosions...

You do realize this has become a random spot for Bourne whining and drooling, right?

Which means should you ever fall foul of the urge to assemble flat pack furniture at midnight, you'll be covered. But it's also multifunctional, so I refer you to this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_screwdriver

... DEAR SWEET MOTHER OF GOD NOOOOOO!

Ahem. Nice mission, and yay for Molly and Moses! Poor Kieran's gonna be wondering what hit him for a while.

However, the one I am going to write a mission on next doesn't need it: it's short, with a rather simple plot, and so awful both in grammar and content that my agents will surely need a Sonic Screwdriver.

Its like the arthor didn't read the books but instead had them explained by someone who a little drunk. Thing like this make me wonder how medical see the world. From their point of view they just recived a patient in that condition with no explaination at all.

It would have to be someone who knew Star Trek pretty well, and had enough self-control not to kill, maim or otherwise interfere with Sue before their observation time was up. There must be enough extras hanging around for them to blend in for a good long while, as long as they avoided getting into a situation where Sue adopted them as her best friend or some other acquaintance (e.g. boyfriend from the Academy who still pines for her and will at some point press his advances so she has to be saved by the man of her choice). While there is precedent for that (in TOS with Andromielle) and agents have their own immunity to the Sue-spell, it would also draw attention to the agent and he or she wouldn't have immunity to any attempts made by the canon characters to get rid of him or her as an adjunct to Sue.
Not sure who would be most suitable, though. Is there anyone in Intelligence who might be able (and willing) to do it as a one-shot mission? :)

Cripes, that Suethor's note! Somebody doesn't quite understand the meaning of the term 'Mary Sue.' Or basic tact and diplomacy, for that matter.

Anyway, very nice work! The agent interactions were fantastic and I'm looking forward to what you'll do next.

...And it looks just as bad as it sounds.

I always make a copy of the fic in a document so that I can highlight things and mark it up. It keeps me from losing the fic to deletion and it also helps me see what problems I need to address in a mission.

Maybe we should do that? Ha, I can just see the Flowers asking for volunteers. But who would want to go, knowing that little miss uber-Sue was on board?

Something I'm going to show a friend of mine, who is a Doctor Who fan and studying Chaucer as part of her PhD. I'll report back with her reactions.

I had this happen to me mid-mission once, I think the third one I worked on. I already had enough invested in it to want to finish the mission. I had to wing it without actual quotes from the fic-just the major charges.

After that happened, I started making a temporary copy of the fic in Google Docs before I start writing a mission. That makes it easier to write the mission, because I can flip between them easier without having to navigate all the chapters. When I finish completely, I delete it. I do keep checking the original for updates, deletions, or changes.

Since they seem unaware that she has any power over them personally, as opposed to over reality in general (she can alter reality to make it a fact that she was promoted, but she can't make Kirk kiss her), they may not be aware themselves of how they did it, so questioning them (with or without coercion) would be pointless. Perhaps positioning some sort of spy on the Enterprise to observe them more closely would be helpful.

So many things wrong with that fic. Dark!Hermione!? "M--b----s" who lose duels getting their powers confiscated!? I thought the idea of power-stealing was only part of Umbridge's conspiracy theory! And that spell! What. The. ...?

And did anyone else catch the Suethor's name? pstibbons, I presume named for Ponder? I doubt the actual Ponder Stibbons will be amused.

My sadistic agents say we torture the information out of them. However, that may not be entirely...*cough* appropriate.

It's the rank when a Captain is also Chief Engineer its is mentioned in one of the films. The ship is nameless becuase all the details are taken directly from a summary I wrote a number of years ago, he also has no last name. I'll ask again in a month or so.

I suspected I would need one. Any advice on where to get one so I can deal with the coma problem?

I do not even know what Code Geass actually is. However, it sounds like it needs termination.

And... What is it with all those Lady Gagas in fic? It needs further investigation, I think.
