Hey guys, I have a new Infrastructure department idea by

A Department of Apparel, concerned with the clothing of HQ inhabitants. Its function may be to design and distribute clothes, repair/alter existing clothes for agents, and/or provide laundry service. Agents in this department may be called Tailors. It would be headed by the Fleur-de-lis (who is by all means just a Lilium candidum, but does not appreciate being reminded of that).

I’m setting these as goals for myself as a PPC writer
-Have at least one mission that TVtropes would consider “The doorstopper”
-See the potential in and recruit in an agent from actual badfic
-Take down a legendary badfic.
You don’t have to do all of these to be considered legendary, being round for a long enough most likely counts.

Yeah, Cormac really was being vile this chapter. I should mention, though, that football hooliganism is a known issue in the UK, so heckling during sports can get overlooked like this by teachers. Harry did also punch Draco in the books for this same issue, and he got pulled away and punished as a result, but the fact that Umbridge was the one punishing him did... hmm. I don't think he learnt much from that encounter in the books.
I won't answer it but ;)
It's more of her desire for everyone to assimilate to what is Normal, which is, ofc, a type of racism/xenophobia, but of the sort that's like "you moved here, you play by our customs, if you don't like it go back to your shithole country". But she justifies it with the standard "how dare the Other come in and impose THEIR culture to erase our dominant culture". The fact that it also happens to play into her agenda of anti-men-with-long-hair is just awful kismet.
(But to be fair, the reason Hairfuck Purityworld sticks in my craw is because some of the worldbuilding is reminiscent of Chinese culture, except OG worldbuilder likes to just ~borrow~ East Asian customs whilst treating the East Asian characters in HP badly, so. That's part of why I started writing the Deconstruction.)
Congrats on finding the Chekov's Cabinet ;)
I'm actually kind of proud that I made you like Draco here! Haha. My Job Here Is Done...
Thanks for reading!

So many sad things happen to the sons of Fëanor. Sometimes I want to give them some time to be happy. I like Maglor and Maedhros being good dads. Madhros didn't get into this one, though I thought about trying to put him in retroactively. I'm not sure I could get it to work.

The quotes in question are “Legolas already lay motionless, his fair hands folded upon his breast, his eyes un-closed, blending living night and deep dream, as is the way with Elves.” and “and he could sleep, if sleep it could be called by Men, resting his mind in the strange paths of elvish dreams, even as he walked open-eyed in the light of this world.” Which implies that Elves sleep like... is it sharks that sleep with half their brain at once? Whatever: than an elf "sleeps" while still remaining aware of the world around them.
Except that is manifestly not always true. The first example that pops into my head is Luthien, who slept through Beren running off to Angband; and then Amrod-or-Amras, who slept through an entire boat being set on fire around him (not an easy task!). So I would say the most likely answer is that they can enter a "waking sleep" - but they can also just... sleep, though their dreams may be different from those of mortals.
Looking at the snippet, it could actually be describing either kind of sleep anyway; he could just have been "blending living night and deep dream" and had to shift his full attention back to the waking world when the El-twins began jumping on the ceiling. It's cute, though; Dad!Maglor doesn't show up very often in fic.
Also hi Bookworm, and welcome back. :)

While Sonic.exe is not a Legendary by our standards, I don't see any reason it or any other fanfic creepypasta can't be PPC'd, unless there's a specific reason not to cover an individual pasta.

Something I’ve been wondering for a while, obviously not the ones that are completely original (but still can be pretty bad) but the ones based off already existing properties (i.e the in this case a legendary Badfic Sonic.exe) of course those CAN get pretty bad, so I understand if not even WE want to go there but still.

- I will not play bagpipes or other loud musical instruments in the halls at 3 AM, even if I have no other time and place to practice.
- If I am assigned a mission to Middle-earth, I will not provoke Feanor or his sons. Their hot-headedness has gotten them into enough messes already.
- I will not pester anybody by asking for stories about their home continuum.

I like the haiku. ^_^
Regarding the Maglor snippet, hS may have more to say about this than I can, but my understanding is that elves don't necessarily sleep like humans do. I like the idea of Maglor pretending in order to get the kids to go to bed, though!

If you want, we can definitely work on it as a coriff. I'll handle all the formatting and putting it up on the Asylum (which has changed hands, by the way!), and it looks like we have enough material for... twoish riffs. Sound good?

It's been so long since I wrote it that I've blocked most of it out of my memory. Someday, I want to write some actually decent fanfic about the Ringwraiths to redeem myself.
