...it is time for a good old-fashioned food fight. Anyone who wishes to join in may do so, no permission is needed.

And now, I give you the instigating event:
----------
Agent Barid sat at a table in the middle of the cafeteria. He was bored. He was tired of being bored. He sat across the table from a balding agent he didn't know. The man looked run down. Barid felt that he could help.

The troll agent looked at his table-mate and said in his Troll accent (read:Jamaican), "Someone should do somet'in about da Flowers. Dey run us ragged and dere ain't no one saying nuttin'. It's time ta take a stand."

The man looked at Barid. He spoke with a slight Scottish accent. "If we stand up tae them, we'll lose."

"Ya," said Barid, gaining strength as he spoke, "Stand an ya may lose. Follow dem and ya'll live. And when ya console's beepin, years from now, would ya be willin' ta trade ALL da days," he climbed onto the table with a bowl in his hand, "from dis day to dat, for one chance, just one chance, ta come back 'ere and tell da Flowers dat dey may take our vacations, but dey'll never take... OUR FOOD FIGHTS!"

With that final yell he scooped a blue, pudding-like mass out of the bowl and hurled it at someone sitting at the next table.

Join in and have fun!

...as the above two posters make it out to be.

Now, I don't know the fandom you wrote the story in, but there are quite a few fandoms that don't have fanbrats in them. Those hyperactive squee people.

I'm also active on one of the forums on writing a member of FFnet set up and I think hardly anyone on that forum could be classed as a hyperactive fanbrat or grumpy vigilanty. Lots of people there want to improve their writing skills and experiment with stories. Like you have.

You may want to put a note in the summary that the story is in Klingon and/or move it to one of the Star Trek categories, as there it may actually attract readers that know Klingon.

I've actually recced The Paper Doll Kindergarten here before. I didn't previously know the rest of them, but they seem interesting.

(Oh, and I recommend Friday's Child , which is a bit of...not a must-read, but definitely a must-read-after-the-aforementioned-if-you-intend-to-sleep-tonight.

I never saw Pearl Harbor, but movies like that are usually pretty "meh" anyway. Nice work sneaking a sporking into a school assignment.

Neshomeh and I agree that "Vampires Suck" looks entertaining. We will likely not see it until it hits dvd, but we do want to see it.

It's sad when fanwriters do a better job than the actual writer, and certain Twilight fanfics are a good example of this. These selections here I've picked mainly for their alternate takes on the series, as well being some good reads.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4759768/1/TheMeadowSceneRedone - Changes a certain scene from the first book, removing some of the more... dislikes... aspects of the series, while actually giving Bella a personality!

<a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4516602/1/ThePaperDollKindergarten">http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4516602/1/ThePaperDollKindergarten - a darker, more twisted take on the aftermath of the Twilight Saga, giving a bit of a more disturbing outcome.

<a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4333491/1/movesinmysteriousways">http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4333491/1/movesinmysterious_ways - this one's a bit of a role reversal... and also counts as a realistic deconstruction in a way.

http://orange-crushed.livejournal.com/132983.html - Everyone knows Bella is a manipulative bitch, but this story takes this concept and runs with it.

On a final note, is anyone gonna see the new movie "Vampires Suck"? I know those movies are generally bad, but this one actually looks good. Of course, that's because I pretty much despise Twilight and other recent vampire stuff... any thoughts?

40K? Tut tut. I'll be over here with my lovely square based models.
AND a D&D player! :D My Wilden is going to end up being one of my agents when I get round to rewriting by Permission piece.

It's been a long time since I gave these away.

As part of my graduate thesis, I had to create a film with an informative historical basis. Here's my effort! Warning: contains bad language and images of death and destruction. Also, careful where you click. Veoh has its skeezy spots.

There's no need to give me the whole song and dance.

...

Not that I'm saying you shouldn't, you just don't need to.

That's just sad.

Have some House Roac hot chocolate. I'm afraid I don't have any whipped cream to go with it, but it's delicious nonetheless.

Here, have a chocolate bar, won't you?

I tend to "hm" a lot.

Well.

Obviously I still have much to learn about the operation of FF.N.

That's depressing. :-/

Well, thanks for letting me know.

Fair winds!
Watch out, this one is allergic to my Agents.

I haven't heard about Cassie either, and we also have something to finish.

. . . and quite happy to see everyone. Now, where is Cassie Cameron-Young? I believe we have some unfinished business.

A counterarguement to the Entry got posted, then a Moderator deleted it. Was it one of us that did it (the counterarguement, not the deletion)?

In hindsight, I shoudn't have been making so much of a fuss.

Will happen, most likely. FF.N readers tend to be either hyperactive fanbrats or grumpy vigilanties. And to be honest, though I am a bit Star Trek fan and would find it fun to try and read a fanfic (in a fandom I know, and this isn't one, sorry) in that language, I would still hesitate upon seeing this. On livejournal or the like, sure, but FF.N is rather fanatic about being stories-only, and to be honest, writing in a language almost no one knows (and in a different fandom, to boot), strikes me more as a fun exercise than a real story.

Thanks for doing that :) It will certainly help.

Not knowing that much about how fanfiction.net works, is that really what would/might happen? I have added a note to the description to clarify ("It IS Dark is Rising fanfic, it's just in Klingon. If there were an option to mark it as such, I would happily do so.").

It strikes me as no more annoying than the people who post English fanfic under Punjabi or French fanfic under Albanian. Less so, in fact, because English and French already have categories, with no need to monopolize those of other languages, while Klingon does not.

I suppose that's as much logic as one can expect from a place referred to as The Pit.

I'm still sorting out where to post PPC stories if I get around to writing them; once I figure that out, I'll move it or cross-post it.

Thanks and mrr,
Lleu

I'm makari.crow@gmail.com -- drop me a line if you'd like.

Better off asking someone else about the TVT stuff though. ^^
