Except it's the Tortall-verse OT4: Alanna, Jon, Gary, and Raoul. A lot of the fans on Goldenlake like making crack fic about it. Don't ask Goldenlakers about Mindelan Sandwiches. You might be better off not knowing. However, if you already know, then you know that it's always used in a humorous manner. I just remembered another Tortall-verse fan nickname: Zombie Roger.

... in fandoms with attractive characters of both sexes. Polyshipping being the new black and everything :) It can be very well done and a lot of fun, but! like all things it depends on the characters.

A heads-up and advice-asking: My website is moving hosts. by

I don't know if the address will change, I'll have to check when it's up.
I do need to ask about one thing: the new host (streamline.com) does not allow adult-rated content. This shouldn't affect it too much, I'll just have to move my Mossflower Science Theatre stuff back to my LJ. Can I still get away with having links to my sporkings of adult-rated fics up on my site if they're not hosted there? If not I'll just comb through my lj and tag them properly so they can still be found there, so no biggie.
Speaking of Mossflower Science Theatre, I'm reworking the warning because on closer inspection of the original fic's disclaimer I think the author was trying to say Matthias had been aged up. The exact phrasing was along the lines of "he's thirteen in the cartoon, but it doesn't say his age in the book". So, as far as we're concerned, we can say he's of age because it's a fanfic and we can do that. Well, that's my story, anyway, because I'm more comfortable being associated with the thing that way, even if all I did was spork it.

It's implied in my earlier 'awesome' comment. I mean, Bono is awesome partly because of this. (the others members are, too)

Final Fantasy and Star Ocean are big ones, along with the Chrono series.
I have a soft spot in the pitted lump of coal the mage who created me used for my heart for the Elder Scrolls series.

OT4 as in 'One True Foursome'? by

It comes up in a number of fandoms. Not heard of the Mindelan Sandwich, though. I tend to stay out of Tortall-fic for the sake of my braincells.

Bono's okay, I guess.
I'd be more attracted to the whole philanthropy thing than his looks.

I'm not against all nicknames. In fact, sometimes I think the fandom nicknames can be better than the canon nicknames, especially if they are meant to be humorous. Anyone heard of "OT4" or the infamous "Mindelan Sandwich", for example?

You can bugger the gopher, the elk and raccoon, the polar bear too, by the light of the moon. When molesting a beaver, stand proud and stand tall, for the hedgehog can never be buggered at all!

You can bugger the rat, you can bugger the ox, and vulpologists say you can bugger the fox. You can bugger the gnat, though it's awfully small, but the hedgehog can never be buggered at all!

Actually, I think he was supposed to be in his late thirties, and J.K. Rowling has said she was thinking of Rickman when she designed the character, but I just like him because he's badass. Really, "he's hawwt!1!!" doesn't need to be in the list of reasons to like a character. Reasons I like various characters from various continuua include "badass", "could beat up Edward Cullen", "shiny", "I'm attracted to power", and "hot". Which is at the end of the list. (Of course, I have a skewed idea of what constitutes "hot".)
