is a bit like Eragon. Looks good at first glance, but... if beauty is skin deep, then both books are one-layered in more than one meaning. I haven't read more than a few snippets, but this is the general view and I agree with them based on what I've read of it.

I've read Tolkien and Rowling and some of Shakespeare (though, like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, schools forcing me to read them and see "hidden meanings" where the author probably only thought "hey, this'll be cool!" have put me off of them for the rest of time, sadly).

Graphic wasn't very impressive; but then, I'm always wary of graphs that try to predict the future. I think the graph is true, though.

As for the discussion...
Well, I've never read J.R.R. Tolkien, unfortunately, and I haven't read Twilight or any Stephanie Meyer books (does she have others?) but I have read plenty of Shakespeare and Harry Potter. While I think Shakespeare is overrated, I have to agree that his stories are timeless and his insults the best. I love the Harry Potter series, and I do think it could become a timeless classic; perhaps not on the level of Shakespeare, but it will stick around for years to come. I think the whole Twilight craze is overrate, as well, but then i've only read two sentences of the book.

That is weird. I only sort of skimmed through the first chapter, but I can still tell that there's something really wrong. I can see Sirius doing that, though. :)

Why, think you can make it?

Where and when is it?

The Zombie Simulat[or?]?

so, yeah, it's probably an Americanism. Thanks.

Err... a load of people are trying to compare J. K. Rowling, J. R. R. Tolkien, Stephanie Meyer and William Shakespeare to each other. It's... an interesting read.

The room probably would've just rationalised how they managed to survive it, working with what's known of the 'verse and events. So it might not be too messy, but it depends on the Agent and such.

...not to test that theory. Most Agents should avoid that room, I think - not just the ones born in badfics, but also those who've been through experiences that they otherwise wouldn't have survived. The results could get... messy.

The Daleks' Master Plan:
Magic Chen, Brett Vyon, Binf Crosby

Invasion of the Dinosaurs:
Sar Jane Smith, Sir Charles Groves

How does one upload pictures on the wiki? I tried looking it up, but all I got was an 'error' message.

for something other than BSG badfic to kill.

So. Has anyone here seen a Caspian X/Mary Sue fanfic in the Narnia fandom recently? I'd like to spork one.

Just wondering. Sorry if this request seems odd.

I have to second the love of the way the Reality Room was handled. You noticed, Neshomeh, I'm sure, that I had very little beta-y comments to make in that section? 's 'cause I couldn't find anything much to quibble over that managed to make itself heard over the general feeling of being masterfully pulled in to a really excellent and well thought out bit of narrative. In fact, anyone reading this who hasn't read the fic, consider this a plug - it's worth it for that bit if nothing else.

Sedri - I also considered what would happen if Iza was shoved in there. While the results would be interesting, I'm not sure they'd help Trojie and I to write her, so maybe we'll avoid it for now, but it was an interesting mental exercise nonetheless. Especially when I started considering the effects of the room on every other agent we write. And then Marsha.

The song was "Fighting Thread", not "The Duty Song", wasn't it? Oops. And here's me with the CD itself sitting on my desk...

Lovely, all of it! A great morning read. I like... well, all of it, especially the overall cohesion, as well as some littler things, my absurdness insists that I randomly mention a few: Luke going out to play hero, for instance - very typical. Now I'm getting mental images of Legolas going with him, armed with bow and arrow and totally unable to communicate with his partner...

Exclaimation-Mark TARDIS! How fitting :D

Also, I really like how you've written the inclusion of the Duty Song, as well as the Reality Room, and how it affected E'rik/Derik. I wonder if I should shove Iza in there... ;)

Anyway, thanks, Nesh. I really enjoyed it - the whole thing. All of it. Good work! :)

Snape will console Harry, use improper grammar, and offer to help Harry clear Sirius's name THE DAY I GET A SEX CHANGE AND ROUNDHOUSE KICK A MINOTAUR.

-ake. Whether the League did it or not, the character decided to blame the EPC. For some reason. And I pretty much have to agree with what's been said before, especially about the desperation angle; that was a refreshing change from a setting that oft sees attackers get utterly curbstomped. I've thought of doing something like this before, but I wasn't sure if I could do it justice, and I thought that the community as a whole would be sick of this kind of thing and not want to hear more of it.

Plus, I suppose there would be rumors flying around in any case.

I like it. I particularly like Derek (pretty much his whole section in Part Two) and the view we get on how the fight against the Macrovirus Infestation actually went. I think that was the first fight in HQ I've read that actually seemed desparate.

hS

The crackfic bunny that just started eating my brain can attest to that ...

But who's to say they were telling the truth? They're not the most honest people in the multiverse, after all.

Or, this being HQ, there could well have been two simultaneous infections. Coincidence is nothing to Legal. :P

However, the LMSF were responsible for the bugs, not the EPC.

Very well done. I'm impressed.

I'm really excited to announce this one. Gestalt Therapy, my newest story, takes place in FicPsych during the tumultuous events of March and April, 2008. It's long, but it is also in parts for your convenience. I hope you enjoy it.
