I'm crap at jokes, so excuse the poor telling of it. It was something along the lines of Farrah Fawcett dying and going to heaven and being asked if she had any last requests for happenings on Earth. She asked for all the children of the world to be happy and safe. So they killed Michael Jackson. Of course, as jokes go, it works rather better if, unlike me, you a) know who Farrah Fawcett is and b) know she also died that day.

Welcome! Have a cup of tea. It'll cure what ails you, up to and including loss of limb.
So, have you any fandoms you pay some attention to? And are you dead set on Sues? Only we're always after new recruits for the DBS. Occupational hazards are limited - there's Lux, and prolonged exposure to the department has a detrimental effect on one's ability to comprehend heterosexuality - but it's good fun nonetheless.

I know nothing of the canon, but if you need a SPaG and style beta I'm available. Oh, and vengeance has two Es in it. :P

Hey peeps!
I'm looking for a beta reader for my new Transformers fan-fic. It is a G1 universe piece featuring Megatron/Starscream. It is only one chapter long so it shouldn't be a long task (hopefully).
Has anyone got enough knowledge of this canon (and fanon) to beta for me?
I've not been writing any fanfic for almost three years for various reasons and I'm really glad that my muse has returned with a vengance!

This one is Polish, has a random unpronounceable Polish name and is very long and very fast. Be careful not to burn his sails, he won't appreciate it (yes, this ship is a he).

We seem to be on a roll. It's just an illusion, really - the first of these missions has been on the go for about four years.
Lasa and Mombi of the Department of Angst take on a Fullmetal Alchemist fic, despite knowing nothing of the canon: http://agenttrojie.livejournal.com/96543.html
And Trojie and Pads take another jaunt to the Discworld. It's... not as pleasant as usual. Or as worksafe. Mental scarring may ensue, so have a care: http://agenttrojie.livejournal.com/96814.html

I contacted Miss Cam just over a year ago, and she said she didn't do adoptions any more, but I was welcome to take over if I really wanted to.
Isengrad is, sadly, already adopted. However, Argaron isn't, and is in fact the first unadopted Aragorn mini I've seen. You're welcome to take him, I'm sure he'll be very happy. Make sure to feed him plenty of bacon and eggs. :)

How the hell do you pronounce that? by

If I have to think about how to pronounce something and it's not a crazy alien, and it's not in a fandom with crazy aliens, I want to throttle something.
On the plus side, they've long stopped posting. I read the reviews for the one you commented on. I love this excuse:
"Yes, I so make mistakes while typing. Much of the time it is that I have too many ideas and I need to get the down quick before I foget them (I have a minor memory problem-really shows through in my Social Studies class. Dates, Ugh)"
O... kay? I have memory problems too. I forget things. I don't forget to spellcheck though. Ever.
And one of the reviews for the prologue had a signature that piqued my interest. Read this. It's... interesting: http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/ayla_pascal/JW01a.html

I had a few AFF Minis in the previous list. As Sedri says, all it requires is a quick skim through your story. It's not as if the AFF formatting erare ars rre subtle.

'Hry' and 'Ptr' came from AFF, which is notorious for its formatting with uploads. Words get merged or outright deleted for example. The last one can from FF.net, can't remember where. The others I can't remember, but they were all from separate fics. Don't worry, I didn't grab any from definite trolls because, to my knowledge, that's not allowed.

I remember once trying to contact Miss Cam and failing horribly.
My copy of The Two Towers has a chapter where the proofreader just gave up or something. Would Isengrad contained there be a Mini and if so can I have him if he's available? If not, can I keep Argaron?

Just remember to feed it two Mary-Sues a day, otherwise it gets a bit miffed.

Would anyone have heard from my sisters recently? Meip and Rosie have dropped off the map.....I know this is an odd topic, but I fear a the disappearance may be the work of a certain angry clan of Mary-sues.....

Out of curiosity, have any of the Potterverse agents ever paid visits to this author's works?

As long as we're talking about minis... by
on 2009-07-04 02:01:00 UTC
Reply
...I've been wondering about the minis for a few fandoms. Namely Rurouni Kenshin, Ghost in the Shell, and Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni
shut up I found a Hanyuu mini and I want it. For Ghost in the Shell, I was thinking mini-T08A2, as in the giant spider-tank-thing from the end of the first movie, but for the other two, I dunno. All the "monsters" from Rurouni Kenshin are human, and Higurashi, well, really doesn't like to keep the threats visible. And as much fun as mini-Bursts Of Insanity or mini-Hallucinations might be, they wouldn't be very practical. Maybe mini-Fingernail Removers?

It seems unfair to blame the authors... by

...but I don't think they can be let off the hook entirely. FF.N has a system that will remove scene breaks if you don't go back through the uploaded document and check it, which doesn't take very long. I would consider not taking the time to check that as being along the same lines as not bothering to run a spell check, if not exactly the same.
If it's not something they can fix by taking a little extra time... probably not. But someone ought to nag the admin of that site until it's fixed.
As I recall, it's the publishing of 'fics that lets them affect canon worlds and therefore show up on our Consoles; if it's what's shown and changing the Word Worlds (and on a more mundane level, what we see when we're trying to read a good story), then I don't think it should not create a mini, because the problem is still there.
Sorry to ramble - thinking out loud. Overall, I think it should create a mini, but that we shouldn't charge the author for it.
