Fandom: crossover between Ranma 1/2 and Sailor Moon (yeah, I know)
Author: Fire
Title: Destiny's Child
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/26926/1/Destinys_Child
This, I think, is one of the best fukufics I've ever read, with the possible exception of one or two which are still in progress, and I'll need to see how they end to decide if they're better. Namely, Contrast Match and A Time Apart.
Sure, it has Ranma collecting entirely too much stuff, but the idea is that the events of Ranma happen well in the past, and they're entirely less... momentous, and he's been hanging around collecting things till now.
Besides, he kinda needs it to match power levels properly.

...if you're in the military, emergency services, clergy or medical professions then you're not allowed to be a member of the BNP. Remember the fuss a while back about the BNP membership list being leaked and people potentially losing their jobs because of it?

This here sue, among other things, found a guitar which supposedly belonged to his mother and used it to "write" songs that the author likes, and also caused Harry Potter to get an eyebrow piercing.
On an unrelated topic, I have discovered that if it weren't for the thing that says "don't check this box if everybody has it" then every single Pooka in Old World of Darkness would score at least 28 on the Universal Mary Sue Litmus Test.

Admittedly that's because I'm as blind as a bat without them, making removing them to look at something an exercise in futility.
It does make it interesting to go places when my glasses have been lost though. Walking into lampposts because you forgot they were there and can't see them is always fun.

Yeah, we are pretty much safe in that regard, but the safety is maintained by the secret ballot. We don't have much politically based violence, because we've no way of distinguishing between Us and Them and so working out who to attack.
Example: say you vote for the BNP. And then say you're applying for a job, and the bloke interviewing you is a hardcore Green Party member. If he can look you up afterwards and find out where your political allegiances lie, he's likely to find spurious reasons not to give you the job.

And that would be because you live somewhere reasonably safe, where the worst that can happen to you personally based on your vote is having arguments about it. Some places, some times, you or your family could be ostracised, you could lose your job, be attacked or even killed simply based on how you voted. If you know that's the case it takes a lot of guts to vote how you want to rather than voting for the party that won't get your kneecaps smashed. In the interests of not intimidating voters, we therefore have secret ballots.

but then again, I don't see the point in a lot of things. After all, the phrase "If voting could change things, it would be illegal" exists for a reason.

Crap. Now I remember what I forgot to do. I was intending to quote Mass Effect. They have a BNP-like party called Terra Firma which is very pro-human. Even the xenophobe in your party is pissed with them for being racist, saying that (I believe, hence why I wanted to check), while there aims are good, they should do something, anything to weed out the extremists in the party. If the BNP did that, then they'd be fine, as would UKIP, Labour, Conservatives, Lib Dem etc etc etc etc. It's not ideas that are at fault (... most of the time), it's the people that carry them out. Communism is pratically the perfect system. Humans, on the other hand, screwed it up enormously. Dictatorship is pratically the perfect system. Humans, on the other hand, screwed it up enormously. Democracy is pratically the perfect system. Humans, on the other hand, screwed it up enormously. I've come to the not-so-thrilling conclusion that humans suck.

...I wouldn't go see a 3-D film even then. Not because of not being interested, but because I've never met a pair of 3-D glasses that work with my regular ones.

Actually, I was intending not to name names. Easier that way.
How exactly a bunch of racist nutters would help a bit I'm not sure. My scepticism is based in large part on the fact that the party seems determined to lay every problem the country has at the feet of non-white citizens, and assumes forced repatriation will sort everything out and bring back to glorious days of Empire. I'd rather have a government that's slightly more grounded in reality.

My favourite fic is usually what I read last, same as favourite game, favourite book, favourite film, favourite music. I usually have some form of Top Ten (Thousand), but it's usually what I've read last.
Disturbingly, that makes my favourite fic Agony in Pink.

I write het almost exclusively... by

because, while I do have some gay relationships in my stories, I don't think I have just them. I have het as the main thing because, obviously, that's what happens in real life and if I'm trying to keep my characters real, I'm not going to have them all turn gay in an instant. I have played with a few small fics set around a gay character, but those never amount to anything.
I'm also more comfortable with femslash. Don't know why. Could be I've read more bad slash than bad femslash. All I know is that the majority of my gay/bisexual characters are women and there's only one male/male relationship I can think of and I can't actually remember what fic that was in.
Honestly, though, I don't give a toss. I'll read good stories, regardless of what the hell is happening in it. The reason I stay away from slash a bit is possibly due to seeing more bad fics attempt to pair off two random characters who hate each other and do it appallingly. I'd type more, but I keep thinking of something else to add mid-paragraph and that makes me forget what I was saying to begin with.

What is the fascination with 3-D? by

It sucks and on top of that you have to wear stupid glasses that rarely fit. I'll be content with 2-D until they invent holograms. The only exception would be if, oh, I don't know, they made a Star Wars/Trek/Gate film in 3-D. Then I'd probably go and see it.
