I kind of thought PPCing the Inheritance Cycle or Twilight would be a strain because the canons are so much like fanfics.

I work with them robots. They don't do anything nearly as stupid as write badfic yet. And they're way too expensive for a badfic writer to get a hold of. Unless there is such a thing as government-funded badfic, which is a terrifying premise.

Well, I didn't actually, but I couldn't help myself. I like the Inheritance Cycle. But that doesn't mean I can't laugh it.
The first one sounds like an interesting concept, it Canonically can't happen, but I'd still like to see it done right.

I found some green sparkly eyeliner called "Envy". But I didn't get it. I won't start wearing makeup on a regular basis until I can get an entire skin-care regimen named after the Seven Deadlies. Because red liquid liner named Wrath would be awesome. And Sloth is a nightly moisturizer because you shouldn't go to sleep wearing makeup.

I'm rather far south, and I'm already arranging for a trip early next year; I doubt I'll be able to get up there twice in such a short stretch of time. Sorry. I'll try - there might be a friend heading north around then - but it's not likely. :(

They're...I don't even know.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4547395/1/Bonded
"Bonded" is about Eragon turning into an amnesiac baby dragon at the time of Saphira's birth. It appears to be heading towards Eragon/Saphira, but it never gets there. Apparently dragons can blush. I'm not super-familiar with the geography of Alagaƫsia, but I suspect they do some world-bending, too. SaG is decent, for the most part, P less so, but every so often it lapses into ultra-modern English.
Featured quotes: "They will pay for this humility", "That's it! We settle this like men, I challenge you to a duel", "You are a murder of dragon kind", "I AM BROM, RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF FIVE OF YOUR FORSWORN! HOW ABOUT YOU GET YOUR COWARDLY ASS DOWN HERE SO I CAN ADD YOU TO MY LIST?".
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4895130/1/Brotherly_Love
(NSFW) Leaving aside the fact that Eragon is (ostensibly) after Arya and Roran and Katrina are en route to marriage, the thing that kills this is when Roran thinks of Eragon, "He looked like a little Japanese porn star, and undeniably, rapably sexy".
Featured quote besides the above: "Their mouths connected, tongues wrestling like Urgals; their arms clenched each other tightly".

To tell you the truth, I did enjoy reading Half Life Full Life Consequences. And sadly, it did spawn a bunch of badfics. But while this one does lack originality, he is rather funny in some cases.

It's so bland you cannot even describe it's blandness. It must, of course defy human patterns of thought.
This fanfic surely must be some kind of portal into the Beige Dimension.

Fire Emblem Badfic by

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6201179/1/The_Songstress
Summary: The story of Aveline, a heron who takes on the guise of a traveling songstress. While at Toha, Aveline meets the Greil Mercenaries. She finds herself caught into critical events, ending with her joining up with one- or two of her kind. Hopefully OCxReyson
I dunno if I should ask to do this one myself, or if any other Fire Emblem fans exist on the board at this time. But this story made me scream at more than one point in my skim alone. Anything that starts out with a 'bright, yet grim afternoon' is going to be a gem, I tell you.
That and she hasn't even played the game, or so she claims in the A/N. Which is a shame, because it seems like she has at least an okay grasp at grammar and structure. It's going to be one of those 'coherent' Sues that spring fully formed from the foreheads of people who have no buisness birthing them... *snarl*
... I am enraged. I might just try and get Permission just for this. *face keyboard slam*

Refuge in Audacity? by

At first glance:
On one hand I am instantly leery of all Transdimensional Hopping if only that I know (and have perpetrated) the worst of it.
On the other hand the absurdity might be acceptable, because a person from an alternate universe sounds pretty old-hat for the cartoon series itself. We're speaking for a tv show that has a mad scientist lament how he was forced to stand as a Garden Gnome all his childhood and find rivalry in a super-spy platypus. In this same cartoon is displayed frequently acts such as as painting an entire continent, and somehow producing a sizable coastline in one's backyard-- I don't know if interdimensional hopping is all too out of place. This might be a rare case where tv show characters somehow ending up in an alternate dimension where they're... a tv show... might be NORMAL for the universe.
But, on yet another hand it all comes down to the execution. One thing that makes me instantly skeptical of this fic is that the girl is already obsessed with P and H from the get-go-- that usually never ends well and is codename for Author Surrogate rather than just a passing original character.
Gonna need more hands to be on.
I find that this kind of okay-written Transdimensional Hopping or Self Insertion story is very typical of late-stage Suethors who have written a fair bit and realized they might be writing Mary Sues. Usually around 16 or so, possibly 17, they deliberately write a fairly normal, average character in the beginning... but if they can sustain that character remains to be seen.
I don't know about this story though-- I need to read it when I'm not at work. If the girl exists solely to have fun random wacky lulzfest hijinks, not to make a story, then she'll go the way of Mary Sue pretty fast.
But then again, the show itself is mostly fun wacky lulz pulled off well, so... I don't really know. :|

Anyway, I'm going to the fair Land of the Long White Cloud later in the year (mid-September, to be precise) and thought I'd see if there was any interest in having a Gathering. I'm flying in and out of Christchurch, but will probably be making my way at least as far up as Wellington.

But when my parents brought me home the hospital was quite convinced that my mum had had two babies. My mum pointed out that she, of all people, would probably have noticed.
I keep meaning to find that one in my university library, but most of their Dumas is in French, and my French is... patchy. At best.
Heh. I do have some up on ffn, all Silmarillion and LotR. Are you on there?
