Why did she write such a big stupid Sue? Why? I hate it when they turn the cool evil characters into romantic wusses. I'd much rather see the evil characters pushed into humorous settings. Azalea? Pretty pink dresses? Daisy chains and other flowers? Ferhago crying? Tell me this is a Mary Sue parody and not a real Sue, please. Burn, spork, and vaporize. All that I can say good about it is that there was some action and deaths in it. I would have died of laughter if one of the vermin who was nearby when "precious Azalea" was found dead had patted Ferhago on the back and said, "It's alright, Chief. I feel your pain."

Hi! Welcome to the PPC! Here's a shield from the Raven Armory that can be easily decorated with paint. (It's water-proofed.)

It's sci fi, it all rips off other shows. Angel won't have been the first. The trick is to take an idea that's been done before and do it very well.

Yes I have IM, unfortunatly my computer is suffering from 3 (yes 3!) viruss atm and is comprehensivly broken. I'll be back online when I've cleaned it all up, but for now I'm working from my local library. I'm reading your notes and trying to make sense of them, but I'm afraid that at my school punctuation and grammer rather passed us by (in favour of daily spelling tests). I'm looking up the bits I don't understand though!
Torchwood was AMAZING!!! Even my boyfriend fancies Jack!

Ah, you think you're prepared for the smells. I smile at the innocence, but at the same time I grieve for the awakening you will have. Boys' bums, seriously. There's something abnormal going on up there.
I think Trojie has the best words of wisdom, actually. I'm not living with a boyfriend, just with a housemate who happens to be a man. Once a month we find me going absolutely mental at him over the slightest things. We've both found it helps to stop and think "hang on, why is she doing this?" When he realises I'm hormonal, he doesn't take it personally, and when I realise I'm hormonal, I immediately say as much, and apologise for not really being that in control of what an enormous bitch I'm being. Overall, it works pretty well, and you can see how it wouldn't if it were never commented on. So that's probably your best bit of advice to take on board - always consider the whys before you jump to being royally pissed off (and hope to Glod he does the same).
What shelving system have you decided on? Are you merging books or keeping them separate? Alphabetised? Dewey decimalised? And how many books - have you been sad enough to count?

a) Getting used to someone else's habits always is a little, I think, but when I moved out I was so sick of living at home that anything seemed better, and by the time the novelty wore off we were used to each other :)
b)When things were difficult, I handled it by going 'okay, WHY is he acting like this?' and by making sure I didn't hold a grudge. And getting things out in the open. Don't let little grievances fester. That's the most important thing. Have a little argument now when you can easily make it up, rather than letting them build to the point where you have a huge argument that you can't just pout for a bit over and then go ask for a cuddle afterwards.
Change is scary. But it's probably scary for him too, even if he won't admit it. You'll be fine, and you'll have fun :D

We have agreed to make some house rules together, and I intend for hygiene and cleanliness to be among them. The apartment is too small for anything else.
As for smells, we all make them occasionally. No help for that. {= )
Thank you for the advice. I DO look forward to unpacking and shelving as many books as possible. Between the two of us, there are rather a lot. *g*

You are correct to assume that it is a combination of "otaku" and "convention". It also happens to be one of the biggest anime convention on the East Coast.

I'd assume it's a combination of "otaku" (outcast, anime/manga nut, me) and "con" (convention). Other than that, I've no idea whatsoever.

"Now, how about the Hornbeam?"
"He has taken over a large percentage of the PPC HQ. He has also began to instrumentalize several universes, making quarantine measures harder to implement."
"Send several Chaos Space Marines to those universes. We must nip this threat in the bud. What about the other threat, Inquisitor Tawaki?"
"He has finished torturing innocent OFUer's. Not infilitrating the Offical Fanfiction University of AlagesiƤ
was a masterstroke. Now, all of our possible opponents are worse than us, making us the lesser of three evils."
"Good. Now, send some World Devestators to AlagesiƤ itself, that way, we can get extra war material while pleasing the fans."
"So we're going to publish our activities on the Real World, then?"
"Yes. We are. Once we undo the Digimon 02 ending, Nia's death in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and the entire Legacy of the Force series, we'll recive their adulation, making us invincible."
"Good, Good. How goes the Haruhi Suzumiya capture plan?"
"We shoudn't reveal any more details about that, just in case."
"Very well."

The Embodiment of all Flames gazed at the war going across the Multiverse, and laughed. Now that the PPC had been destroyed, and all the organizations that should be guarding fanfiction were squabbling over the spoils, he can feed the fires of Fan Dumb himself, gaining him more power.
Just a small suggestion to his pawns on the Pit of Voles, and all the PPC's reports in the Real World will be transferred to Fanfiction.net. The resulting flamewars that would result won't alert the Multiversal combatants, but they ought to give him enough strength to weaken the locks to his prison.
Then, he would start shipping threads everywhere, for all possible pairings in fiction, especially the hated ones. After that, he will create a fic so bad,all Fanfic would be banned, causing more flamewars and ending the Multiversal Organization's support networks.
Then, he would set himself free, and consume all creation in a blaze of unrelenting fury.
===
"He's an embodiment of all the Internet's flames? If so, i'd expect him to be more terrifiying."
"And he isn't?"
"Well, he is; but not as much as i'd expect. Compared to what i'd read up on in the Warhammer 40k and World of Darkness-old and new-Wikis, he's just second-rate."
"Ahh."
"Also, I think this apocalypse is losing steam. The NMG wish to preserve the Multiverse after taking it over, the Hornbeam's hive mind isn't spreading fast enough, and Inquisitor Tawaki is just insane. Also, the latter two don't really have any depth at all, along with the Embodiment of all Flames."
"Isn't that for the best? I mean, the narrative law saying villains without any depth must die hasn't been altered yet, to my knowledge."
"True, but still; if this is the Apocalypse-"
"Time of Judgement, actually."
"Fine, Time of Judgement, then. Now, as I was saying, if this is the Time of Judgement, it should at least be spectacular. I mean, if the Multiverse is going to die, it should at least be with a side of awesome."
"Agreed."
"Thank you, Makes-Things."
Author's Note: If you want to make the end of the PPC spectacular, how would you do it? Tell me, so that Agent Lyta doesn't cry! Do you want her to cry?

Well, you should watch Torchwood anyway. But your summary actually reminded me of S01E02, featuring an alien that lives off, ahem, sexual energy released during male orgasm.
...
Look, it's Torchwood. No one said it had to make sense.
