Aw, I was gonna see if I could convince you to sing Paradise By The Dashboard Light with me. Please tell me you know that one at least.

Meh, I haven't read Bad Webcomics since they spent not one, but two entries bashing Dresden Codak. The comic has its faults, but it doesn't deserve that sort of treatment.

There seems to be a distinct lack of ska on that list. Also a distinct lack of anything I know, with the possible exception of Queen. This could get embarrassing.

Ah, well, at the moment I'm an English graduate. This means I'm on the dole. This means the only demands on my time are a) signing a bit of paper once a fortnight and b) getting drunk. Leaves plenty of time for betaing.

1. I will not try to punch out Cthulhu.
   1031. I will not give anyone the H*stur-themed "Badger Song" parody to sing.
   1032. I will not recruit the Crud Puppy.
   1033. I will not make Yo Mama jokes at Spock.
   1034. I will not task the Impossible Missions Force with unmasking Palpatine.
   1035. I will not provoke a Dalek.
   1036. Harrison Chase and Treebeard must never be allowed to meet.
   1037. Flowers are friends, not food.
   1038. Agents are friends, not food.
   1039. Sir Charles Grover and Ra's al-Ghul must never be allowed to meet.
   1040. I will not pit Odin against Greyback to "see what happens".
   - Nor will I pit Vidar against him.
   1041. I will not turn the Doctor into an owl.
   - His name isn't Who, anyway.

I cracked up at that scene in "The Fellowship of the Ring" where Boromir is handling the shards of Narsil and cuts himself. "Still sharp(e)." *g*

I have not, sadly, read series. I read the first one, but after that I got distracted by other things, and now my dad's bookshelf is hundreds of miles away.

I wonder if there is an LJ community dedicated to the bad webcomic. There was a Blogger site that bashed the more popular shitty webcomics, but they haven't updated in over a year. It's still hilarious, and they do some very good break-downs of just why the comics suck:

Nope. I am almost strictly old-school. Or I play multi-player games on Wii. Okay, I have played Neverwinter Nights and found it to be fun, and I like some fighter games and a few superhero games for, like, the PS2.

It seems like you do the beta-reading for half the PPC these days. I don't know how you manage it, but it is much appreciated.

This. It's basically a bunch of teenage girls drawing theirselves as slim bishies and being "cute".

At first when I was younger and hungry for acceptance for my sexuality, I thought the idea was novel and cute. Now I see the authors are annoying, screechy little girls.

This ended with me trollin' the founder as an Anon via email, but unfortunately she guessed who I was correctly. (This would be no problem, but she was very convinced and planned on just bitching about it to whoever.) and I wound up having to fake a heartfelt apology to make sure she wouldn't whine about me to any more intelligent people I may socialize with in the future.

I mean, not even Portal?

if you get the references. Fortunately, I do with the majority.

Try Darths and Droids or DM of the Rings. Those use Dungeons and Dragons for their references, so that's old enough you might get them.

... here: http://okkaraoke.co.uk/ Sorry, I should have posted the link before. Forgot.

I'll give it a look, if you like.

I know Pern and the PPC reasonably well, though I'm not familiar in the slightest with Phantom of the Opera or Dragonlance.

It's so textbook I'm almost embarrassed for the Stuthor, really. I was actually thinking on killing that one, but I've already got fics for all the missions I'm currently writing, so I guess someone else will have to take it, sorry.

Is there a list of the songs available at the karaoke bar, or is that something you only find out by turning up?

Yes, I have actually finished something! I'm afraid it's a bit of a monster, being 34^1/2 pages in OpenOffice, but it's broken into five reasonably-sized parts: Prologue, Epidemic, Interlude, Invasion, and Epilogue.

So, I need at least one person, preferably two, to tackle the lot and do SPaG and a general review of continuity, accuracy, timing, characterization, etc. I'll also take as many as want to look at just one or two parts, since there's so much. Knowledge of the events of the 2008 Macrovirus Epidemic and Mary-Sue Invasion is good but not required. Knowledge of various canons, including Pern, Phantom of the Opera, and Dragonlance, is also good but not required. Knowledge of the PPC in general is a must.

I dunno why that comic annoys me so, or why I keep reading it anyway. Just something about it sets my teeth on edge.

Off to read now. :)
