Welcome :) I believe the others have told you most of what you need to know, so I'll just stick to welcoming you.
And no, sadly, I don't believe Lord of the Rings is going to be public domain for a while yet. Good thing, too, or else we'd have no leg to stand on with PPC missions.

Help yourself to a venomous invertebrate.
I know what you mean about LotR; it's an awesome story, but the universe surrounding it is so complicated, it's hard to keep track of everything. I'm thinking about learning Elvish, just so I can say I understand it...
Also, it's good to see someone else who's into M:tG!

The question is how to interpret
"publishing" and "canon." Are webcomics published? Are poorly done massively multiplayer crossovers canon? Does the fact that CWC claims his work is a parody (Which itself is an attempt to exploit a loophole) render sonichu noncanon? I'm definitely going to write a mission where I try to exploit loopholes like this

It would definitely be more diplomatic. I can see some of the saner fans and antis accepting that plan, in a way. Not the fans who have "I love Edward Cullen" tattooed on their face, though. (Yet, a part of me just wants to drop an atomic bomb-or five-on the continuum and be done with it. :P)

A lot of RPF/RPS is like that. Not only U2. In fact, U2 fandom is rather mild. I've heard about RPS where more than two people had it on, or fics where people were raping each other. All very explicit. And I could go on and on...
I love U2, I love the (real) relationship between them, and I love the fact that they've been friends for more than 30 years. They're so cute together, especially Bono with his bandmates. And Edge is so totally Vulcan (and therefore awesome), too.
BTW, my Agents were originally tall ships (I'm very much into tall ships, even in the literal sense lol) and I'll see them (well, their real-world doppelgänger) at the Tall Ship Races in 2010, or so I hope (depends on my future job, and I don't even know which one I'll get, and when).

We couls also have other departments by

like one for unvoluntary moral implications in the fic, one to make the world more original/less crappy/whatever, one to watch/check the fic/universe before the action departments come in, etc.
In the example of Twilight, I would send somebody to give lessons about healthy relationships, stalking, whatever, somebody else to kill the Cullens and Bella, somebody else disguised as regular vampires to tell the other vampires what they should look like, etc.

If the sonichu continuity isn't considered enough of a threat (by being too connected to the sonic and pokemon continuities) to justify collapsing it, then what if a mary sue (claiming to be a boyfriend-free girl) enters cwcville with the intent to create an army of sonichus?

Second poke! by
on 2009-11-09 19:34:00 UTC

Well, my second today. Your first, though. *pokes*
LotR is owned by the Tolkien Estate, I think, and I hope it always will be. Peter Jackson owns the slice of the pie that is the movies, though. And a lucrative and artificial sweetener-filled slice it is, too.
I might have a Sonic fic for you to tackle eventually, when you get Permission. I meant to take it on with a friend, but we never finished, and it is quite the blatant little Gary-Stu. I just don't know enough of the games to do it myself.

*ceremonially pokes the newbie*
Hello! Welcome. LotR and PTerry, huh? It's... it's like the old days come back again. *gets teary-eyed* I too am a disciple of those great masters, as well as Neil Gaiman, whom I actually got to meet in person once (though when I say "meet" I actually mean "hear speak and then stand in line for hours to get books signed by").
I also dig sci-fi, but Farscape is my One True Fandom in that genre. I've seen Star Wars, of course, and some of each Star Trek series, and even some SG-1, but I could never forgive the latter for replacing Farscape when it went off the air, even when they hired on Farscape's two lead stars.
I keep telling myself I'm going to read the Dresden Files. Someday I will. At the moment I'm re-reading LotR as inspiration for NaNoWriMo.
Now, I have just one question: what is "to MWOT"?

I'd love to take on the really trashy stories. MSTing them isn't quite as much fun as killing them. Rogue assassins FTW!
I really dislike Mary Sues. I'm not sure it would be quite legal to try to kill the Twilight characters, though. I mean, we'd be bored to death before ever finishing the first six chapters of the book. (What I find is funny on original fiction websites, is that some of the writers take being told that they write like SMeyer as a compliment. XD )

1078- I am not allowed to use my Remote Activator/TARDIS to uncancel my favorite TV show.
1079- If I decide to shove a Sue out an airlock, make sure she won't get picked up!

I'm more into Atlantis, fandom-wise, although SG-1 is better.
I'm also taking on U2 because I've seen pretty bad stuff over there, and I'm a huge fan of the band. (seriously, Bono and Edge in a bondage fic?)
