There's a page on the wiki. Essentially, the Leauge of Mary Sue factories arranged for two macrovirus infected sues and paul bunyon to wind up in headquarters at the same time. The viruses hit medical first, apparently overrunning the only areas in which a cure could be synthesised, and then things went about as poorly as might be expected. It would probably have been easy to resolve if the portals were working, but they had to be locked down due to the risk of the viruses escaping.
This list is also available as a Atom/RSS feed

I shoulda thought about that. Sorry, am quite out of it. I blame it on having had multiple syllabuses (syllabi?) read to me today, even though they were sitting in front of me...
Oh, and that wasn't even the whole AN, that was just the bit before the disclaimer...

I'm not sure there's a master list of them about; the wiki doesn't seem to have one. But its page on That Series lists each part along with who sporked what; it could admittedly do with links adding to both agent profiles and to mission logs, but if you search through the wiki for those agent profiles, you should find their mission logs and be able to get what you're after. Good luck!

What for you want a small portion? Always with you it's "small portion, small portion." You get large portion, you eat it all. Do you want to starve? No boy wants a girl so skinny, they want something to hold on to...

GDI probably had far more than enough to at least airlift people out, though. I got the impression that they had started reclaiming yellow zones, such as Germany, but it was going to take decades to complete. In the mean time, they should probably have evacuated people from the yellow zones, especially the Sahara and Amazon deserts and the areas near enough to red zones to have tiberium in the rainwater. Admittedly, the point is rendered largely moot by the fourth game tralier, going by the brand new england red zone.
Gas masks would prevent inhaling the toxic gas and tiny pieces of tiberium, although a full-body composite hazmat suit would of course be better.
Second paragraph comes from the Scrin campaign and intel database.
GDI did do well with the Tacitus, aside from the part where they nearly blew both it and Chennyne Mountain up by knowingly performing risky experiments. They may possibly have been going to stop doing that, but still. Going by the stuff released about Tiberium Twilight, blowing it up would possibly have doomed humanity.
Independent from GDI as an organization, Boyle goes from an idiot to extremely evil with his actions in the last GDI mission, where he orders the commander to use another liquid tiberium warhead to destroy a Scrin control center in the Tiber Riverbed. The player can either do or not do that. In the ending where it is used, it takes out nearly everything in europe via tiberium chain reaction.

Just so you know, we have a bit of a thing about double posts here on the Board. There's a limited amount of threads can be on any one page, so a lot of new threads in a row pushes things off the first page and onto the next. This, as you can imagine, increases the chances of things getting missed, so we like to try and condense things into one post if we're starting a new thread. Or, if we've started a thread and then have something else to say, we stick it in the thread that's already there (under a suitable title, of course, so people can easily spot it's something new).
(Don't worry too much though - most of us have done this at some point.)
Will follow the link when sober, but surely someone using "hence" accurately should be literate enough for spelling? That author's note bodes.

That sounds rather... ominous. Hmm, well, I suppose that's good to know. One of my characters is seeming like she'd be the one to steal a TARDIS from somewhere. The other one is simply... odd. She's... sane!

I'll make note of that.
That's not very nice of him!! I don't think any of my characters mind about my insanity... Not that I've asked them in as many words, though.

Doctor Who horror by

Albeit it unintentionally -- I was simply looking into some normal, sane fanfiction for a break -- I stumbled upon this atrocious thing. The summary alone made me need to find out how bad it truly was, so, unfortunately, I did. I got there and I couldn't bring myself to actually read the bloody thing. I skimmed it -- especially after the first words of the author's note:
Hello anyone bothering to read this
you should know 2 things
#1
I’m an awful writer and simply bored, hence I am writing this story
#2
spelling and grammar shall be deplorable in this story, get over it and go away if you can’t take the thousand or so mistakes
C&P'd perfectly, I promise. The spacing is crap. There's no differentiation between story and AN other than the fact that it is a new chapter. There's practically more AN than story -- in the first chapter.
Oh, and I haven't even gotten to the worst part yet.
It claims to have been beta'd.
Who would -- who would claim -- who would claim to have beta'd something of this caliber?
It only appears to get worse. In the second chapter, the disclaimer for all sorts of lovely things gets completely disproved by the author... directly after making the claim to said warning. And and and... *cries*
*looks back up at everything* That's quite a rant on the horrors of this fic. Can someone please go and fix the 13 chapters of horror??

Alright, I thought you guys would appreciate this. When I was new to FF, I stumbled across this brilliant story that started me out on the Anti-Sue crusade. I just remembered it falling asleep at about midnight last night.
The fic: xXoCeaNRoMaNCeLoVeXx by xXWiLLTuRNeRSMiSTReSSXx. It's within the Pirates of the Caribbean fandom, and is basically about the canon characters battling Sues, Suethors, horrible grammar and spelling, chatspeak, and, well, plenty of other things. I can't remember all of it, having read this probably two years ago now, but I do remember that it's bloody brilliant and worth a read for anyone who knows Pirates.

Well, with my current agents anyway. More or less limited to the Final Fantasy and Metal Gear series. Still, I have a fair numbe rof fandoms I'd be able to work in, like Harry Potter, LOTR, the Warhammer universe, all that kind of stuff. Maybe if I get more agents at some point.

How to make an OFU... by

I'm curious. How does one go about creating an OFU these days? Last I heard, Miss Cam had given up on PPC, OFUs and everything else. It's just I'm giving serious thought to creating a Mass Effect/Knights of the Old Republic/everything else BioWare OFU and I'm trying to coax a walking Elder Scrolls encyclopedia to create one for that fandom.
I presume reading OFUM is a must? I've got that covered, one of the others who might help with Elder Scrolls has too, though I need to force the encyclopaedia to read it.

…after the Plague. Also, some Agents have TARDISes of their own (either from before they were recruited or taken from MAry Sues).
