Even if you just point out stuff where it isn't working, that would be really helpful. Should I email it to you?

Should I email it to you? It's in a few different chapters.

Thank you for PPC-ing this fic! I was so disgusted upon seeing the info that I didn't go any further.

I have to throw my support in for worsefic, though. It's so simple and elegant.

Another problem I have is the repetition in each chapter. Aside from the sex, very little changes.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Barid and Brightbeard have a chemistry born of generations of blind racial hatred. It's kinda magic.

Ah. Well, thanks for clarifying that.

You can certainly report all the badfics one author has made, though we'd prefer not to antagonise anyone by making a list of "badfic authors" - it's rather rude, and there's nothing to say they can't improve later.

Trolls, on the other hand, you can report, if only so we can go and pick through their fanfics for anything mission-worthy. I'm not sure whether this person qualifies.

Hey. Is it possible to just report a badfic author rather than just a badfic? The one I came across is consistently bad, no matter what the fandom. For example, she crosses BtVS with Twilight, which in itself is kind of funny ("And then Buffy staked Edward. The End"), but the way the author does it is horrible. I can't stand Twilight and I cringed at the badness of it. She seems to be obsessed with the current pack of Disney-made stars- The Jonas Brothers, the kids from HSM, etc. Please, someone kill these badfics!

Very nice, I'd really like to see more of these two, as they have an interesting chemistry together.

Really, now...

Well done.

Don't worry about it. The mission was awesome. ^^

Sorry, if I snapped a little. I always find it annoying if people tell me I have made errors and then don't continue to tell me what they were.

Thanks for reading. I hope the killing of the Sue was to your satisfaction.

Well, there're a few misspellings, but mostly it's the homophones that I suspect the spellchecker didn't catch. For example: "She [the Sue] explained that it took her weeks to find the week[ spot of an Angel in order for her to phase into it."

Very nice, though I did notice a few errors in it here and there. You might want to look it over once more...

Bad case of work avoiding behaviour resulted in writing a mission. Relatively short, only 2500 words. The mission: Time of Angels That fic that was discussed here a few days ago. Spoilers for Who episodes The Time of Angels / Flesh and Stone.

Spotted while on this mission: a mini-reaper by the name of Father Octavain.

I'm so NOT allowing Dr Rodney McKay near this.

Lemon being either meaning.

Wow. Slap this one up on the "unclaimed badfic" list. I understand that maybe incest is just another "not my kink" issue, but this is badly-written incest.

BTW, reporting badfic can be done on an old badfic thread, if there's one on the front page, so as to avoid scrolling stuff off the front page. And if you're absolutely sure it's badfic (you know, physically impossible stuff, horrible writing, blatant sues), it can just go straight to the "unclaimed badfic" list.

I think it is. The world is your basic future setting, with FTL travel available and genetic engineering commonplace; and the main character (in most of the books; some focus on secondary characters) is a guy who's basically nobility on his home world, but has a secret identity as a mercenary. The interesting part of it is that the implications of FTL travel, genetic engineering, cryonics, and all the other technologies they have are really thoroughly explored in relation to their impact on the culture and politics of the world. Some sci-fi series are basically just modern life transplanted to space; this one is more like a different world. So yeah, it's pretty good.

A character with a wide-ranging sense of humour is pretty useful when you need variety in riffs.

Bravo, excellent work! I especially like how you managed to portray Murdoc in this.

And also, R.I.P. Mister Dennis Hopper (sheesh, what is it with celebrities and dying in the summer? It was just as bad last year!)

I like the Young Wizards series, though I've only read the first book, but I would like to read more.

Also, I've never read the Vorksoigan Saga. Is it any good?

I'm not sure I make a very good beta - I can proofread, and I can tell when a phrasing or style isn't working, but I can't always figure out or communicate how to fix it - but I'm quite familiar with Young Wizards and the two published Feline Wizards books.

Contrariwise, I know just enough of Vorkosigan - and that purely by osmosis - to know that Barrayar is a major setting there.
