Also, all of the main universes have massive infodumps that go on about their storylines in the first "book", if I remember correctly. And a lot of the canon characters used are just the character in physical description only. A lot of them have had their names and personalities completely changed.

By Mormon undertones, I pretty much mean just the whole polygamy thing and the fact that the Otherworld "tradition" of naming children is to combine the parents' names.
When I saw the kid naming thing, it instantly reminded me of "Twilight". :<br>

Don't use it as an excuse. Have the courage of your convictions, and argue them as your own. If you want to argue, I'll happily have that row. But don't use your Asperger's as an excuse for your own thoughts.

Sorry. I wasn't saying my Asperger's was a catch-all excuse. I said I wasn't even certain if it was to blame.
I'm... I'm sorry. *vanishs*

Apology accepted for the time being, but I'd like to make a sweeping general statement for the future.
Most people on here see my livejournal; they've an idea of who I am. They could tell you without batting an eyelid that I am an angry drunk. (hS I know will back me up here as we're still Not Speaking; I expect others could too.) Anyone who follows my lj will also know very well that one of my Rage Buttons is sexual abuse in any form. Though I'd rather not, I know full well I've a reputation in these PPC parts for being an obstreperous and argumentative drunk.
You've already denied the legitimacy behind the primary source of my obstinacy and obstreperousness. According to you, I should have just "got over it". I could fill several dozen posts about why, quite simply, you're WRONG in that these things can simply be "got over". However, I feel this is a conversation for another day, and a conversation that does not need to be had in such a public forum.
I will, however, ask, quite sincerely, that you NOT use your Asperger's to excuse your total lack of trigger warnings, and to not exculpate yourself of all blame for the cuts and bruises I currently sport after having innocently clicked your first post in this thread without due warning. Yes, it was satisfying, beating the shit out of a wall and ripping my knuckles to shreds and causing myself enough physical pain that I couldn't focus on anything mental. But I don't want to be in that head state. And, so far as you've said, I've no ...ing business being in that head state, I should have got over this shit twenty years ago.
I have not yet got over this shit. According to you I should have, and I am sorry to disappoint, but until you can handle the fact that I am not, alas, able to fit your pretty happy view of all the world's weirdnesses in boxes, then I am not going to happily smile and nod while you use your Asperger's to accuse me of crying wolf, belittle a ridiculously large percentage of the world's population, walk into the standard privileged white male trap, and while you tell me that I should just suck it up and deal with it because you poor boys have so many problems too.
tl;dr: Will you put a ...ing trigger warning on it next time? Because I do not need to read this bile over breakfast.

Grrr. *slitty eyes* Keep your messed-up hands off my religion, bub. If I were writing missions... I would tackle that one, ten billion chapters and all. Religious fury aside, wouldn't it be great fun to have an excuse to bluescreen somebody's universe? It's not like it's a canon universe, nobody cares if you nuke it, right? :D :D :D
OTOH, I'm only really familiar with one of those series, and that's Rurouni Kenshin. But then, lack of familiarity with a series never stopped me from reading fanfic before... ;)

There's no such thing as notability on TVTropes. "Notable" can mean good, bad, mediocre, "this page is here because I wanted to make a page for my fanfic/website/fangame or pimp it"...

... put VQ under Notable Fanfics - after all, "Notable" applies to GOOD fanfics as well, and it's only fair.

You do know having Asperger's doesn't give you a free pass to speak without engaging your brain, right? And your "extreme" views could actually be construed as pretty offensive?

not rational and then there's not rational. He was five. What the hell was he going to do?
And I'd like to say sorry if I've offended anyone. I have very extreme views. I either really agree or really disagree with something, rarely anywhere in the middle. I've been told (though not quite sure if it's true or not) that it has something to do with my Asperger's Syndrome. Regardless, sorry if I've offended anyone. I don't mean to do that.

I doubt it, though, because ALL the guy's work is like this. Not all with the kittens, but the misogyny and OOCness is in everything he writes. Setting up the persona would take way too much effort for a troll.
This is a lot worse than TS. At least the characters in that were furries to begin with.

I can't believe I missed something like this. Meir Brin, returning and updating HFA? Winsauce. You don't know me, but I have read both fics and loved them. Well, the first HFA and the parts of HFA 2 that were there, anyway.

You can have a suit of perfectly preserved winterized T-51b power armor, and a special collector's set of Vault-Tec bobbleheads.
