I meant near-human but with odd features.

And Generic Science Fantasy would work best, I think.

Generic Fantasy, Generic Sci-fi, etc. Or an Alternate Universe. Nexis universes are good, too. They pop up mainly in role-plays.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by "old somatotypes"? A somatotype is just someone's physique, as I understand it: ectomorph, endomorph, or mesomorph.

…that ex-Agents can stay out of the canon's way, right?

And can it accommodate odd somatotypes as long as the people with said somatotypes don't interfere with the stories? Because some Agents are more disturbed than others and may require help from said others.

No Agent is well-enough liked or impossible enough to accomodate that the Flowers would create an entire universe for them. That brings me to my second point; the Flowers might have advanced technology, but that's something they just can't do. If they could, I get the feeling they would've done it before, but for themselves, not Agents. My opinion/idea is that the Flowers would pick 'verses most able to accomodate the Agents, and if there are several there might be a choice involved (like Acacia deciding to retire to Rome). For example, if Tawaki's one of the ones you're retiring they'd probably let him retire to Doctor Who. If they find nothing, which I doubt since we're talking an infinitely huge multiverse, they just wouldn't allow the Agents to retire yet.

…how are they accommodated?

My idea was the crafting of a special universe, with a world described and enough locals to prevent inbreeding, but no plot for the Agents' DNA and abilities to screw up. And a whole group of Agents is retiring. If that setup won't work, what will instead?

PM on ff.net should do the trick, I hope. Then we'll see what happens.

And yet, I love it. *eg* It would be hilarious to see agents try it, whether it worked or not.

But of course, absolutely don't get caught doing it. >.>

The version I know is a bit different, but I picked it up through the Society of Creative Anachronism.

Several guns that create and shoot Anti-Lustin, perfect if you are suddenly attacked by Luxury (you can use tranquilizer darts in her case) or fangirls.

Have a shapeshifting plushie.

Nice to meet you. Here, have a glow-in-the-dark spork to aid you in your fighting :D

*looks embarrassed* Hope you had a nice day, anyway. Here, have more chocolate (because there is never such a thing as too much chocolate ^_^).

*looks shamefaced* Happy belated birthday, though! Hope you had a nice time, even with the band practice :D

And I have to ask, because I am incredibly curious...
...is that the Volga Birthday song?

that's almost as weird as a plot where Kane dies. It's just not things that go together.

V. I mean... V. Brain go boom. The Sue is basically a female version of him, the plot consists of him getting hurt and her saving him, then her getting hurt and him saving her, then she gets raped, then she drags him to a party... Aargh?

The hell.

No guarantee it'd work, though; Sues tend to twist the Word World in their favour much like the canon protects Agents, so the Sue might just be saved by a deus ex machina instead of the canons.

It would be kind of hilarious to go dimension hopping looking for sues about to be rescued by canon characters from dangerous situations, and then distracting the canon characters so that they don't arrive just in the nick of time.

Such a thing would be a grossly irresponsible use of dimensional travel technology, of course, and it would be wrong to be caught doing it.

I suppose as long as the character never found out what was in it, it might not kill them. It just goes against the grain to me because of the principles of Despatch, which I think was contemporary with the original series.

Still, I guess it's a matter of personal preference.

... reading from the worst story you can find until the reader cracks up laughing too hard to continue. We did legolas by laura last year, and on my first go I was laughing too hard even to finish the first word.

I’ve been replaying Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, followed by rewatching Ultimate Force and now going straight into a short oneshot about neither fandom but still featuring the SAS. A couple of questions though.

First of all, there seems to be a bit of a discrepancy in one codeword. CoD 4 uses ‘tango’ for the bad guys (i.e. Tango down, room One-Echo). However, UF and the NCOs back when I was in my school’s CCF use ‘X-ray’ (i.e. X-ray down, rear stairwell). Which is it? I’ve got a theory that Tango is an Americanism that CoD 4 fell into, but I want to know for sure. I personally think X-ray sounds more awesome, but the SAS don’t care about being cool, just about getting in, getting the job down, getting out.

Secondly, does anyone know what OP or FAP means? I can’t think of a context for the former, but Dempsey from UF says “FAPs please, gentlemen,” just as they head off to go and shoot people.

a couple of fics I discovered through Sara.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4428673/1/300BatledfortheAlamoe - 300 Batled for the Alamoe, a very short but incredibly ridiculous story that Sara tackled in a mission a while back.

And http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4364314/1/HarryPotterSonfoharry - Harry_Potter Son fo harry. And yes, that really is as bad as it sounds.

Acursed contagion! I believe I caught it stronger than you though.
