Yup, I still think it was a good idea. You already know it still needs work, so I won't go into that. I liked the parts with Corolla getting accidentally smushed (though I'm glad she's okay!), and with the different take on Sue tactics. {= )

Good to see you a'Board. Welcome!

Oh, and lest I forget, your honorary first poke! *pokes*

Looks like we have some bad ones here. Good thing none of those involves card Captor Sakura, or I would shoot the author.

Fair winds!

I feed mine bad grammar. :D

   3. By the Toll of the Clock by BonesDoUrden reviews
   A Snape/Hermione one-shot. Hermione's parents have been dead for years and now she's having flashbacks of living with none other than Snape himself when she was very young. Not necessarily compliant with the HP universe.

   4. The Exiled Queen by Yours Truly
   A Geographical Aberration, a recurring Gary Stu (who is killed off partway through), and just plain bad writing.

   My comment: Ahnonay divided by Todelmer equals Channelwood. Please stand by while my brain un-bluescreens.

Looks good so far! I'm actually quite interested to see more of these two.

Welcome to the PPC! Here, have some chocolate, and enjoy your stay!

Welcome, newbie! Have some chocolate and enjoy your stay here!

I do like particle physics, its like pokemon but with the building blocks of the universe.

Not Ctulhu, though. He's getting too fat from Sues.

Have a mini-particle-accelerator.

My father is also a particle physicist, and he's English, and I considered majoring in physics but decided I preferred history.

I'm glad someone thinks this might be a cool idea. One of the things that bothers me about Self-insert stories (including mine!) is that the insert always just goes along with the plot of the canon, changing it or not, but ALWAYS following it. No enormous freak-out like you'd expect from a normal person. They're just too geeked-up to act like someone REALLY torn away from their home, their friends, their dog, the college money that's been all for nothing, and their entire future on Earth. Self Inserts really DO have a lot to angst about-- but never what they DO angst about!

Sure, they always wibble on and on about getting home and stuff, but the new world always proves to subdue that with its Awesome Factor until the insert is just another character, and sometimes, even a Suvian if things get bad. Never have I ever seen a transdimensional displacement fic where the character breaks off and goes on their own, and does REALLY all they can to get home, rather than 'oh, if I follow the plot then eventually I'll get back or something maybe.'

Aster started out a sincere character that's become a black humor parody of herself-- when she's not played horrifyingly straight. Most Self Inserts aren't.

If I ever narrate her *first* adventures, in which these concepts are important, this stuff will come up. But in the story I'm doing, she's past the worst of the immaturity but still kind of a fanatical idiot who hates herself and believes that by walking into a story set in supposed-12th century Jerusalem with a sawed-off-shotgun stuffed up her pants and shooting every Suvian in sight is the correct course of action. Which it's not.

And I don't have time to mention any of this in what is essensially an EXTREMELY long mega-mission, in the ABSOLUTE WORST case scenario of complete and total technology failure. As much as I like my original character/fictional clone of me, the story comes first.

Can you suggest any animals that I can feed them to?

I'm only second year so I don't know where I'll end up yet.

My apologies for the confusion. On the other hand, ambiguous syntax is fascinating and I'm going to wander off into the acadamia of my own major - Linguistics - to break that line down into syntactic trees. Excuse me...

;)

Thank you! But what should I feed it?

Do not feed it Sues.

I am Italian, so I already had a lot of things ponted and corrected in the first beta run. However, since the second draft had only the final paragraph as non-betaed I had to post it already, since Anamia, that was supposed to beta-read it, disappeared (I am not angry for that, it's obvious that she has a life beside PPC)

I already had that idea for the next mission, you spoiled all!

My father's a particle physicist, BTW.

I love physics, but my grades went *poof* when I tried to major in physics. So I switched to engineering.

I only get to work with recombinant viruses, poor me! :) I'm a senior now, so I've done a couple of internships. Going into biomedical engineering (i.e., designing medical technology.)
