Camp songs are always fun! And does not require actual singing! =D So they always sound good, as long as it's sung by a group.
I can out sing a Sue any day. Huzzah for being classically trained! 12 years of going to a fine arts school...they do good things to you!
And make you fear directors. >_>

I think you'd do an excellent job, I listened to your recording and it gave me goosebumps!
I'd love to hear some of the PPC songs being recorded.

Lycaenion's taken Frood Baggins for one of her Agents, just so you know.

Awesome! I tried to record "I Need An Agent" once but my lack of backing track and timing meant it sounded awful. I sing soprano and would be happy to help you out if you wanted/backing tracks can be found. XD

I wish I could sing. I really wish I could. I'm likely some kind of first alto, but for some reason I am just really bad at singing beyond the camp songs I learned as a kid.
I'd make a cruddy elf, I guess.
Derp. I'd try to sing with you, though. You sound really good in that, Keily... @_@

Thank you very much for explaining all that! *copies and pastes into a .txt file for future reference* Whoever said that the PPC was never educational?

I was looking for those~!
I can sing tenor, but there isn't a recording of me singing tenor. And if there was I respectfully asked people NOT to put them on the net, which results in my most embarrassing secret being not known (and that was I used to sing as Erik/The Phantom and my partner, who was a guy, sang Christine better than I could ever do).
Next time I sing as a tenor I'll happily post it up, because now I can laugh at myself for sounding like a girlish kind of guy.
That song was a cover, btw. Someone asked me to do a soprano cover of that song and I did. It was surprisingly easy.
I've been working on the PPC Anthem. It's...still in the works. XD Because it's pretty much a parody song of a parody song of an epic theme. So yeah. Much work.
Duets are always fuuuuun! A little hard, but fun! There was also a bunch of songs from musicals I've always wanted to do. Like the one where Mary-Sues have stormed Hogwarts and it's sung to the tune of 'Kill the Beast'. It was awesome. I can pull off Sue-ish singing pretty well, as awful as that must sound. XD
If we could find an awesome song for three, we should do it! Or even just a simple duet would work.

it said that Hermione magically changed Rose's hair to blonde. Rose was part of some kind of "magical exchange program", or some such idiocy. Apparently, Mickey was a wizard as well.

There are several links in this section of the Complete List of PPC Fiction. I think the ones you're particularly interested are in this LJ post, and I know you did at least one of the Holiday Songbook ones. The ones from last year are sadly not posted, but I expect I'll get to it around December, like usual.
You sound great in that recording (though rather a lot more like a soprano than a tenor O.o ). Any of the holiday ones you want to sing, I'd love to host in the Songbook. I've tried to do recordings of some of them, but I always sound like crap to myself upon playback. Plus it's kinda embarrassing, not knowing who might be able to hear me going on about Sue-slaying and such. {= P ... Although, I might be able to muster up the courage if you want to arrange some kind of duet. Because that would be awesome. I might even be able to talk Barid into singing bass/baritone.

Singing and PPC Songs by

Does anyone remember where we kept all the silly songs we all wrote waaay back when? Been trying to find them, because I have this sudden urge to record them all. Or some of them, at the very least. I can sing tenor, but I think I'd mar some of the songs we wrote if I tried....Although I do enjoy busting into song in the subway with 'I Need An Agent' now and again.
Loudly and repeatedly.
Also requesting, sort of. Because I am requesting you to request me. XD If there's a song you'd like to see a PPC cover of - that has a karaoke or instrumental MP3 I can find online - that I can possibly do or you have written yourself, I'll try to sing it. =D If it turns out good, then great! If not, we can all laugh at how bad I sound!
The only song I ever decently sang was this one.
So, yeah.
Have a nice day guys! =D

You're very confident. ^_^ It's good to be able to laugh at yourself.
I'm not sure that I could be that self-assured, although I don't think I've ever written anything that could qualify as true badfic. The closest I think I've come was when an unexplained time/space warp caused a character in the future of the canon to wind up in the beginning, thus changing the course of the canon (and, technically, causing the world to disintegrate, but that didn't happen. Where's the sport in that?)

You shoulda been here a few years ago, when "first poke" was a race and you could have second, third, and even fourth pokes. *g* Anyhow, guns and frying pans can be painful, too, if someone uses them on you. And kittens, too, for that matter.

Hair color genetics... by
on 2010-07-30 01:20:00 UTC
Reply
Two traits involved: Brown-to-blond (the more brown, the darker the hair) and red/no red (no-red is dominant). (There are probably multiple genes involved, because you can get different shades of brown, from practically blond to deep black.)
A red-haired person (orangey red, not auburn) has to have a blond, red/red genotype, because red is a recessive gene and you can't have too strong of a "brown hair" trait before it looks auburn. They can pass on only blond and red to their kids. That means that if two red-headed people have kids, all the kids will be redheads.
Ron passes on blond and red/red. Hermione has brown hair, so she could pass on anything from blond to brown and either red/not-red or not-red/not-red.
So Ron and Hermione's child could have, depending on which genes Hermione is carrying, either red, auburn, blond, or brown hair.
The only hair color Rose Weasley couldn't have is deep black or very dark brown, because Ron and his red hair will only pass on "light hair" genes, which at the most end up as mid-brown if Hermione passes on all her dark-hair genes.
Oh, and this also means that anybody who writes a non-redheaded Weasley kid can be charged with forcing Molly Weasley to cheat on her husband, because that's the only way it could happen (barring adoption or transfiguration).

Is it wrong that the thing that strikes me as wrong about that is that I find it hard to believe that Rose Weasley might be blonde?
I mean, I don't know, is red hair or blonde hair more recessive? We know that this Rose's mother was a brunette, but perhaps she had a recessive blonde gene, and if blonde is dominant over red, then maybe Rose was blonde.
Then I start making punnet squares and searching my old biology notes for the finer points of genetics, and then I realise that I'm probably putting more thought into this than the author did.
I am vaguely interested in the idea of jedi in Middle-Earth, though.

It's also my first full story in English, so I am happy that it isn't bad! I'll keep working on my english, and when I get a new PC I'll write missions with a proper program with spelling check, Notepad doesn't allow to automatically correct typos.
