Some do seem to run concurrently- Thief of Time crosses over with Night Watch (albeit briefly, though the events of Thief directly impact those of Night), and a few others do likewise.

It is not Oldspek it is Olde Englishe. And alot of people don't use it only Dwarves. I figured it out when I was reading the mission where Agent Eamon saved an Orc from someone. Agent Eamon says "ye" when he means "you" and that is Olde Englishe and if one Dwarf uses it then they all must because that is how it works in fantasy worlds. And I bet you wouldnt mind it if there were Elves getting laid instead of Dwarves. Everyone is racism against Dwarves!

date of publication is identical to chronological order. I say this having read them all, several times. :)

I tihnk its' nice how you showd us the proess of an agnet getting a ne partner. i dont tihnk Iv'e seen taht befor.

((Team Dafydd, eh? Dafydd wants to know if he gets his own flag. Constance wants a complete list of subscribers, including addresses and weaknesses. You know what she's like.

((Also, I will go on the record and say that seeing 'shipping wars on FfL would be awesome, whether Dafydd was involved or not. ~hS))

If the author owns the TV series, and has set up a "no fanfic" rule, then the TV series is also quarantined and you would be bounced straight back into your RC if you tried to portal in.

However, if the author does not own the TV series (having presumably sold the story to the producers), and the producers of the TV series do not forbid fan fiction, then the continuum is not quarantined.

Depending on how violently opposed to fan fiction the author is, and how close the TV series is to the original, you may (as an author) choose not to write fan fiction even though the author does not own the TV series. (I haven't researched Goodkind's exact opinions on fan fiction; I suggest you do and find out whether it's more of a "I worked hard on this canon and I don't want people destroying it with horrible writing and total absence of respect", or, "No fanfiction. Ever. It's the bane of my life, I hate fan authors, and I will sue your butt to Hades and back." If it's the latter, probably polite to stay away from the TV series too.)

Be careful working in "Legend of the Seeker"; if the Richard Rahl in that series is anything like the one in the books, you'll have to keep your sunglasses on to avoid being blinded by the glitter.

Maybe it's a troll who is getting their kicks this way, and is not for serious?

Dare to dream...

So, in order of publication (but not necessarily chronological order), the books run thusly:

1. The Colour of Magic (1983)
2. The Light Fantastic (1986)
3. Equal Rites (1987)
4. Mort (1987)
5. Sourcery (1988)
6. Wyrd Sisters (1988)
7. Pyramids (1989)
8. Guards! Guards! (1989)
9. Eric (1990)
10. Moving Pictures (1990)
11. Reaper Man (1991)
12. Witches Abroad (1991)
13. Small Gods (1992)
14. Lords and Ladies (1992)
15. Men at Arms (1993)
16. Soul Music (1994)
17. Interesting Times (1994)
18. Maskerade (1995)
19. Feet of Clay (1996)
20. Hogfather (1996)
21. Jingo (1997)
22. The Last Continent (1998)
23. Carpe Jugulum (1998)
24. The Fifth Elephant (1999)
25. The Truth (2000)
26. Thief of Time (2001)
27. Night Watch (2002)
28. Monstrous Regiment (2003)
29. Going Postal (2004)
30. Thud! (2005)
31. Making Money (2007)
32. Unseen Academicals (2009)

However, most of the books also correspond to various character arcs, focusing on one particular group of characters. By far and large, the Ankh-Morpork City Watch seems to be Pterry's favorite group to write about, with the wizards a close second.

Some of my personal favorites of the series include Guards, Guards! (wherein we're first introduced to the City Watch), Thief of Time, Thud!, Hogfather, The Last Continent, and Pyramids.

Um, what is the reading order of Discworld? It's kinda confusing- I did Tiffany Aching, then Nation, and I'm on the Color of Magic, and they don't seem related- at all.

You would think that reading the Silmarillion would be quite an exercise- enough to require a brain larger than a badfic writer's- but no, no matter how insane or how important or sacred or whatever, it still just comes back like a weed, like for every head you kill on the Lernaen Hydra, two more spring up...

Nah, I'm not really that depressed. Well, maybe...

And I'm feeling even more like there's just a whole huge universe of stuff about the PPC I'll never know about the PPC if I spend every hour left of my life researching. Huzzah. How the heck do people find the time to do over a dozen agents with profiles and missions and everything? Well, back to English summer reading homework...

So, I was reading the article on quarantined continuums on the wiki, and saw that Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series was under quarantine (horrible series, IMHO, but whatever floats your boat), and was wondering: Do badfics in the tv'verse of the book series count as being in violation of the quarantine? Or is Legend of the Seeker so different from the book series that it's not the same thing? (I know that in the opening credits of each episode, it says "Based on the Sword of Truth series", but...)
I was wondering because I found a coupla badfics, and wanted to know.

-http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5693133/1/TheWarrior; Author's summary: Formerly known as "Warrior Rose". Rated T, just in case. AU Story. After the defeat of Darken Rahl, Richard, Kahlan, and Zedd reunite with someone who they thought was lost forever. But, this reunion also brings with it new challenges. Please R and R!
Basically, the author is ramming a prophecy, a "long-lost sibling", and a Mary-Sue down the reader's throat. It also has (IMO) stilted writing, badly written prose, and a horrible/non-existent plot. At least the spelling and grammar are up to par.
<a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5908821/1/RowanAhexil">http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5908821/1/RowanAhexil
Author's Summary: Rowan Ahexil is a rare woman indeed, for she holds a power like no other. She holds the power to revive souls from the underworld, without the requirement of a body. That plus she IS Darken Rahl's oldest and most trusted companion. DROC
My comments: I hope you have a strong stomach. There are bad!fics, and then there are these. I can stomach bad!fic, but not (badly written) schmaltzy romances with Mary-Sues, eye-gouging spelling/grammar errors, and more descriptions of the author's pet character than the setting. Normally I wouldn't say this, but... Hades, do I feel sorry for Darken Rahl.

Well, yeah, I haven't seen the movie either, but they changed the whole storyline and Percy's character development.

Suethors are still humanoids, though. I think...

I posted the info in a reply a little further down the thread---Addendum: the book. In short, though, the title is "Thief of Midnight" and it's urban fantasy with a bit of horror flavoring. Definitely some PPC influence, too; I can't seem to get over my love of monster hunters who drink heavily on the job. :D

*hides from bricks* D: uh-oh I was a poop nose by accident.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be offensive. Where I exist, weeaboo is used primarily to mean a teenybopper-type anime fan. People can be fans of anime without being weeaboos.

I guess the real moral of the story is that stupidity can be applied to anything. And people who are inclined to goofy behavior can be found in every niche. If anything, calling a blanket of goofy people in the anime genre 'weaboos' is kind of silly because in essence they're the same group as the goofy people who like badlit. No matter what social seperations others pen them into, or what stigmas some of those pens carry or cast onto other, more sane fans.

And now I am just backpedaling like a fail who fails at recognizing how she fails at not offending people on the internet like a fail.

YAY MY FIRST FAIL! *jumps off infinate buildings*

YU NED HELP YOU HOAR!!!!!! UR JUST JELUS I BET YU CUDNT DO BETR!!!! HOAR!!!!

Makes-Things and Lyta repopulated their Multiverse and the Mirror one with their spawn. Some of them followed Canon, some of them followed Suedom. The NMG and the NMP turned out not to be dead after all, and began a battle of manipulations that spanned the next few generations. Fanfics still entered the two Multiverses, binding themselves to the bones of Canon and creating new life and opportunities. The fics that were closest to the Original Universes were valued,and kept sarcosanct as they may prove to be the seeds of a new, better Multiverse.

But underneath it all was still the Author, and he was now more powerful than any of his kind.

He may yet emerge again, as opportunities for power and pleasure blossom in the two Multiverses.

And on that ominous note, he leaves you.

Next year will be the debut of his next fic, PPC: Rebirth.

Chapter Eight: The Final Hour.

Disclaimer: You know the drill.

Celebrian gutted out Laura first, then the Hacker and Ebony. She held up their hearts, and set them on fire with a nearby torch. The smoke then went up to the skies, and a portal began to open.

"I call you, Ensign Mary Sue. Creation of Paula Smith, come to this world, and bring the Eternal Suvian Paradise that is our destiny!"

From the portal, a girl which (AN: My computer does not have enough memory for the description)- flew down to Celebrian and said:

"You don't have any luck. I am a parody, just like my counterpart in the Prime Multiverse."

Celebrian rushed towards the entity she had summoned, rage instead of lust lining her face. But the now-revealed Parody!Suetelluvian flicked her away with one snap of a finger. Raising her head up to the sky, she spoke:

"There is only one rule for figthing the original Mary Sue. You Lose."

Then with another flick of a finger, she ended the Multiverse.

Hello there, my name is Burning Visionary. I used to be called Burning Watier, before I saw the light of Honest Critic (any rumors that I am only sucking up to her for something called 'lulz' is Slander, and all who spread those will be reported to Admin) and her words. However, I have another loyalty that is totally compatible with hers and cannot be used to withdraw my strength from her cause (and those who say so are commiting Slander!).

My Prophetic dreams.

You see, PPC: Time of Judgement and EPC: Gehenna are not just stories, they are visions of things that will really happen to the PPC and EPC in the future. Fire will engulf the Word Worlds, and characters we saw as fixtures of both organizations will die. The Multiverse has a finite lifespan, and it will-

Hacked profile: As you can see, this author has gone insane. Honest Critic is a poser canon warrior who cannot even write any genre right, leading to fics whose only redeeming quality are their general coherence, which is only a vehicle for more subtle defilement. May the true PPC spork their fics both. I will wait for that day...

...Honest Crtic, but her concerns are legitimate.

The premise is so great. That was such a bad cliffhanger!

Chapter Seven: Overview of the Apocalypse.

Disclaimer: I do not own what belongs to other authors.

The Suetelluvian Celebrian's victory over her hated rival Laura was only a prelude to a new period of strife between the ancient beings of Glitter. Now that the EPC had been defeated and the NMG was still amassing their forces in preparation for an attack on their Multiverse (as for the NMP, there was yet no word of them after the battle near Celebrian's tomb), they were now free to contest the rule of the Mirror Multiverse between them. New Sueish servants,created with the smallest fraction of their glitter, were sent as proxies to fight graphic battles for their ancient masters and mistresses.

It was Celebrian and Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way who fought the hardest battle, however. Ebony's bad spelling and the fact that her source fic had more reviews than hers were utterly unforgivable offences for the elf, while the goff considered everything with pointy ears 'preppy'.

The portals between what was once the LOTR and HP worlds were strained to the limit, as armies of Orcs and other animals with absurdly big parts were sent in bulk, only to be killed by powerful fan-made spells that surged through the openings between the dimensions and impacted their staging grounds, including the palace of the Suetelluvian Elleth.

Depraved Imagination against Depraved Imagination. Canon Defilement versus Canon Defilment. The two Primal Sues were evenly matched, each unable to break the Impasse.

Then the Hacker who had sabotaged Ebony's source fic long ago secided to ally herself with Celebrian just to spite Ebony.

All the Fan-made spells ceased to function, and the Orcish armies surged through the portals. While the Goff!Sues and Stus who served Ebony still had guns, none of them had the firing rate needed to stem a Zerg Rush, even a non-literal one. The preps that were still in Suevian!Hogwarts debated on whether to rejoice in the downfall of their foes, until the orcs grabbed them and put them in bondage.

The Chamber of Secrets was the last to fall, with the Suetelluvian using the entrance as a chokepoint in a rare display of intelligence. But fall the place did,and Ebony, the Queen of Goffikness, was taken captive, screaming and swearing.

"... u u fukken prep!1 U will die!" But she was unable to do anything to free herself, and she was taken to her enemy's lair in the Misty Mountains.

There were three altars there. Two of them held the Suetelluvian Laura and the Hacker, who was double-crossed by Celebrian shortly after she turned off the Goffik fan-made spells. The third one was empty.

"Om y fudking Satan! Are you going to rad me?" said Ebony.

"Of course not. Such a thing is too good for you. No, I am going to sacrifice you, that girl, and the person I just double-crossed to awaken the greatest of the Suetelluvians, and be rewarded with stewardship of the Eternal Suvian Paradise!"

"NOOO11!!!!" Said Ebony with no regard for spelling and grammar.

Celebrian laughed...and took out some daggers!
