The time has come, so I am asking for it.
I have many example of my writing, most of them on the Halo Fan Fiction Wikia. Here is the story that's gotten me the most good reviews.

One of my agent would be Agent Jiashu. The name is that of a friend of mine, and I plan on having his agent character mirror him as he is in reality: sarcastic, witty, and naive.

The other is Agent Jake. He's a young Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, but is still able to offer good advice and skill to Jiashu, especially during combat scenarios. He's young and sarcastic, much like Jiashu, but has been through several grueling battles against the Covenant. As these two agents will be taking on super-soldiers and incredibly large and powerful alien warriors I think they need all the help they can get.

Both agents would be assassins in the Department of Mary Sues. It would also appear that they would be the first Agents in the Halo Division.

The first mission I would do would be on this fanfic. It involves at least one Sue and, at the very minimum, a heavily influenced Spartan. I'm fairly certain she's a Sue, too, although someone more experienced might want to help me figure it out.

If you have any questions, please ask.

You see, TFTD is set in 2047-sometime prior to 2066.

Maybe grabbing a sub name off the list would suffice, since that seems like the sort of thing that might vanish during the First Alien War or the resource struggles afterwards.

US attack submarines come in three classes - the old workhorse Los Angeles class, the aborted Seawolf class, and the new Virginia class. The LA boats are named after cities (there's a lot of them, list here), the three commissioned Seawolves have no naming system (Seawolf, Connecticut, and Jimmy Carter), and the Virginias are named after states (list here), so depending on what you want, any name not on the above lists would work.

From a broader historical perspective, most attack subs before the LA class were named after fish, a tradition that stretches back to before world war two. When the LAs were comissioned, submarine tactics had changed to the point where they were considered important combat ships, and thus given names of cities (equivalent to traditional cruiser names), and now, they've taken over the traditionally battleship-only state names. So, depending on how old you want your boat to be, you could call her Seattle, Salem, Worcester, or Cleveland for an LA boat, Washington, Delaware, Oregon, or Arizona for a Virginia. Just note that with the Virginias, the Ohio-class ballistic missile subs were also named for states, so you'll want to check against the list. (Older ballistic missile subs were named for historical figures, so no need to worry about them.) For an older boat, it quickly gets hard to pick an unused name - there were a lot of WW2 subs.

Any takers?

People used to use fanfiction.net before the Original Series got kicked off. Nowadays, most people either build their own site with Freewebs or some other free webhosting service, or they use LiveJournal. The latter can publish to the PPC LJ group, which is here: http://community.livejournal.com/the_ppc/

Other than that, I guess you'd have to ask someone to host your stuff for you.

You see, I'm trying to write a TFTD fanfic, but am being stalled by my permanent and total inability to come up with names. In addition to names for characters, I'd also like a plausible-sounding US name for an attack submarine that is not already in use.

I was actually concentrating on the fact that Morgoth has a tea room.

Well, I joined here on November 26 2008. So unless you've been around, or been randomly hugged by me in my hugging rampage, or have been in a comic shop and stunned by an ear-splattering shriek of joy, or have ever been down at the English fair one evening and heard a showman shouting underneath a flare, etc., um.

You won't have a clue who I am - I don't even have Permission yet - but it's good to see a veteran return to the fold, even if it's only to share accumulated wisdom with us newbies rather than to take to the field. And now that you're here, I'll have to read up on the DCUP, if only to find out what exactly you do there. :P

So. Hi!

...my poor childhood memories. ;-;

Because even the fans of the Great God Pterry are not immune to the allure of Mary Sue. Or badfic in general, for that matter.

But things like this are just a little bit too ridiculous.

...any suggestions for good places newbies could post any mission? I know I haven't got permission yet (computer and internet problems), but I figure it's worth asking.

Would I get to meet myself and drive myself mad(der)?

You're saying it IS an option.

http://www.keldale.f9.co.uk/tabularasa/writing.htm I'm going to be changing the host soon, but you can get hold of the missions there now. There's another one, of the first half of the Sawney Rath one, which is somewhere on my LJ. I'll try and track it down if you don't want to go searching. We adopted Sawney's daughter and Tagg's son from that one:

Greetings, O venerable inbetweenbie!

You won't know who I am, because I've only been loitering and being the Board's Resident Alcoholic since the start of 2008, but hello nonetheless.

Re: your question, have you tried the wonders of google for finding the lost badfics? When I was on one of my regular organisational sprees and sorting out Trojie's livejournal, I discovered she'd totally failed to note title, author or links to her first few missions sans me. Most of them remain lost in the ether, but I managed to find a couple of them by googling bits that she'd quoted.

Mmm, sharp pointies. I will treasure them always. ♥

Here's a dagger set from the Raven Armory!

Because let me tell you, there's only room in my suitcase for my books or my water wings, and I'm a pretty voracious reader.

The tall ship I gave you is pretty up to the task. I've heard there's nothing to make a fuss about there...

Sweet, I can finally go check out that Bermuda Triangle thing that everyone's making a fuss about! :D

They're beautiful, they're lovely and there aren't nearly enough of them.

*cuddles the tiger, subject to whether or not its Teeth of Go Away make an appearance*

Have a Bengal Tiger and some Anti-Lustin. What are your opinions on the former?
