Miah and Cali could be there. They like beer. Miah might complain if only normal big American brands are available. She would drink Sam Adams Boston Lager or any other Sam Adams, really, or Bleepbeer. She always manages to have a "slept in my clothes" look about her (jeans, sneakers, and no logo t-shirt, hair in ponytail), and she is going on thirty.

Cali is in his late teens, but looks younger. He has extremely wild, bright blue hair, and never takes off his bright green rimmed, mirrored sunglasses. He wears very baggy styled pants, a long sleeved close fitting shirt, and gloves with no fingers. He's a "super" hero from Mystery Men continuum.

As long as this is going to be set sometime pretty soon, they probably smell like smoke. They might have soot smudges or even small burns-especially Cali, and they are probably making a bit of a fuss (without noticing that they are being too loud) about how they are not talking about Cali scaring the living daylights out of Miah playing super hero to pull a damned fool boy in a kilt who burned up all the furniture in the lounge out of the fire said boy (Unger) started. She may be refusing to let Cali have alcohol, as her mothering instinct is riled up; although it will be phrased sarcastically or even possibly with a bit of arm smacking level violence.

But some of us are insane. Some of us are insane and don't particularly mind, and are happy to write amusing stories about self-inserts dialed up to eleven. And some of us aren't exaggerating all that much.

That was basically my point-- it's cutting close to a line, in my opinion, to say something like "highly exaggerated, apparently 'insane' freaks," when they are based on their authors. You know, the people on the 'Board... who the comment was adressed to.

But this has clearly gone on long enough, I don't think Max was trying to offend, and it's probably best dropped. I just wanted to clarify-- it's not the comment on writing quality and characterisation that got to me. It was the implication that the characters are, well, 'insane' freaks, when they're based on their authors.

So very sorry this is late. We were busy.

Also, the infamous fic "soulless shell" now has a dramatic reading on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/RagingPsyco#p/u I am not this person and I don't know them, but I like the reading - complete with riffs on the screen.

The other one's a vet, so I figure even if Brian (the newbie) didn't recognise her, he would. Thanks then; I just wanted to be sure since I have to work out all the individual cameos in the pub scene.

I don't know if anyone would have forgotten about the Redneck Trees thing three years on. I don't think that's the kind of thing people forget, so yes, your guys will probably have heard stories. They're also well-known for working with furry characters, and Laburnum would probably still be wearing Raketooth the Amazing Three-Armed Fox.

One of the viewpoint characters is fairly new, and is a recent transfer from the DAVD, so I've been trying to determine who among the cameos he'd actually recognise.

Not a lot else would be different, I don't think. Just don't get too specific about their haircuts or anything ...

I've never been comfortable with the terms "Canon Sue" or "Historical Sue", because for me, a "Sue" is an entirely-fanfiction dependent phenomenon.

Personally, I describe "less-realistic" published canon characters as such (as "poorly-characterised" or so on) rather than as "Sues".

But it reverts to a fundamental problem of terminology: some of us consider "Sue" to be a catch-all term for poor characterisation, some of us consider it to be a fanfic-exclusive definition.

I agree with Neshomeh in that I think Sues are a fanfic-only phenomenon... but that means we need a better term for so-called "Canon Sues" or "Historical Sues".

Elcalion, ruminatory

Logan is probably the most frequent at the pub (read: borderline-alcoholic) but most of ESAS would be around. The only exception is Entropy, who is no longer with us (after dying during the 2008 Macrovirus emergency).

Logan tends towards drunkeness-via-Long Island Iced Teas, which should leave plenty of scope for amusing escapades.

Sorry; maybe it's just late, but I really couldn't understand what you'd said the first time. Thanks for clearing it up; I still don't entirely know where the story's going, but I'm looking to finish it before too much longer. Already been at it quite a while, and I'm trying to work on producing more stuff.

So, assuming I finish it this month, July 2010.

I was trying to explain that, since there are virtually no information about my Agents at the moment, adding them in now could generate troubles to you. However, in one-two days both my first mission (useful for Sergio and Corolla's behaviour) and the agent pages should be online.

Sorry for being unclear!

... but not S&S. I don't know how Snowspine would take to that.

When is this fic set? If it's after the Macroviruses, Foxglove will have a cybernetic eyeball, which you may need to know for descriptions. (I decided she went for something steampunky, a la Treasure Planet, but my storyline hasn't caught up with the viruses bit yet.)

Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm not sure what you said there. Was just wondering what you meant by "those days".

... you can take Sergio Turbo and Corolla. Expecially Corolla, an ax-crazy six-inches tall fairy like girl, with a taste for Water (yes, that Water) can be useful for fun and weirdness.

However, only if you aren't going to write it in those days. My first mission is in beta status and I didn't make the Agents pages already.

I'd be able to do spelling and grammar stuff, but nothing in-'Verse related, as I don't know anything about it.

I love it. I hereby give my permission for this to happen, and bribe KGarrett with the baked good of their choice to ensure that it does. As for the "friendly" bit, Ian would probably rescue Lee if it got too bad; he's a good friend/partner like that. ;)

~Pretzel, who is equally amused and can't wait to see what happens.

It's not my story, but it would amuse me greatly if Lee ended up near Jenni, who gets tipsy and cuddly if she's exposed to pretty much any alcohol at all (and I've already said she's allowed to have a mild drink or two for this scene). If there's another willing cuddler around, well, that's even better. *g*

... Lee should feel free to tell her to go away if KGarrett feeds her extra drinks and she gets TOO friendly, though. Jenni isn't very particular about who she gets "friendly" with. ^_^;

~Neshomeh, probably more amused by this than she should be.

Bonus points if you have Lee drinking something with mint in it. She gets relatively more tipsy and cuddly if she's exposed to mint.

...well, maybe just one. Brightbeard, a World of Warcraft Dwarf (what good is a pub without a Dwarf, right?), will gladly join in a PPC pub crawl. He drinks tankards of the strongest stuff they have.
