Sorry. If it's a reference, I didn't get it.

it's San Fransico. And Fantastic Four damaged London. As did 28 Weeks Later (which firebombed it). :D

But it sounds like an interesting film.

It's extremely rare, but I've encountered two parodies in the Star Wars section. Parodies of the crap on the rest of the site. :D

There's also a decently written torture story (I think. It's been a while since I read it) which, as far as I can remember, had no issues but the usual AFF format screwups (where words merge etc) and the sexual element and a bit of fandom-breaking stuff (it was Jaina Solo being tortured to death by a sentient ship that Anakin Skywalker had pissed off and being raped by her lightsabre).

There was also a Tomb Raider fic which was decently written. It was a "Lara dies every single chapter because that's what happens in-game" fic. It was very amusing to read the comments whining about the lack of sexual content. As one comment said in response, while AFF is usually used for porn, there's no rule saying there has to be porn.

Link please? I've been meaning to read Pink and the Wiki page mentions a sequel.

As for desensitising, the only badfic I haven't been able to handle has been Draco's Christmas Cuppa. One day, and one day soon, I'll be attempting to reread it. I just have to shut off my brain first (I visualise fics as movies. This is very useful when writing and even badfics are usually okay, but DCC just broke the screen).

Thank god for L4D. The Resident Evil section is filled with goreophilia. Badly written goreophilia at that.

I have two rapes in my combined stories (that I can remember right now anyway). One victim is a seventeen-year-old woman, the other a fourteen-year-old girl. I'm going to be trying to handle it as realistically as possible and therefore, those fics are high on the "I'm going to make this perfect before I even consider uploading" list. So therefore, no comfort sex (or even thoughts of it) and no "oh, I liked that, do it again!" bull et cetera.

I have been known to tell people I'm anything from 21-24 and then scratch my head, think, try to remember which year I was born in, and then on occasion have to ask what year it *is*...

Approximately a month ago, on May 6. I'm nineteen now.

...It really doesn't feel that different from eighteen, to be honest.

It was June 11. I'm 24 now. I'm really old. {; )

~Neshomeh, who would have mentioned the birthday, but she was busy playing D&D and spending time with her fiance.

I know it's been asked before, and the recent Board Survey asked in terms of range, but a recent conversation with Sara and that thread about posting below has made me wonder.

So, if you guys don't mind, care to tell me how old you are? I know, as a point of fact, that most people here are in their teens, but I tend to forget, sometimes, and I'm curious.

I'm twenty-two, if anyone cares to know. *waves her Old Lady Walking Stick*

Aliens decide that Earth is too valuable as a life-supporting planet to die due to human behaviour, and after Keeanu Reeves' character (an alien in human form) is thoroughly discouraged by the hyper-paranoid American government and has had a chance to show off his Amazing Mind Control Of Electricity And Machines Power, decides that, yes, all humans have to die. Lead Female Character tries to change his mind. Big chase. American Defense People are paranoid and shoot, shoot, shoot. Lots of proof that alien technology is WAY superior to ours (except our CGI workshop) despite being hypocritical considering that they're Uber Environmentalists.

Reeves' character eventually gets all sentimental and agrees that, yes "we" (humans) do show their best qualities when on the edge of death (this is, by the way, after Lead Female Character has cried and insisted that "We can change!" many times over), and goes out and nearly (or perhaps actually) gets himself killed stopping his own machines, which then fly away, but have already destroyed most of New York (of course. Why is it never Perth or Anchorage or Bristol?), and have ruined all electrical power so humans will have to Go Back To Nature.

Very moralistic.

That wasn't short. Pfft.

Oh, stop it, you're making me feel ancient. :P

So far as I can see aff's sole purpose is to provide one with an easy route to bad smutfic to spork. If there's reading for fun to be had there, I can't see where it hides.

If they are like the asari, then we shall sing "roll-a bowl-a ball a penny a pitch".

In that case, the answer to the later queries will be 'no'. Then... well, my advice would be useless, since I have no idea what Denebian Slime Devils are.

Poor Sedri. I'm not even going to try,

Pads catches me on the most embarrassing mistakes sometimes. I keep writing "explaination" and "experimant". *hides*

Eragon missions :P

I made my way through the first episode in a determined attempt to be fair. I believe that you, Trojie, were the unfortunate person who heard my screaming rant afterwards. :P

On you don't know the Flowers... >:D

Every movie adaptation is a fanfiction to some degree - it just happens to be in a different medium. I can't think of any film-of-a-book that is exactly the same.

Nor, for that matter, can I think of any novelisation of a film that doesn't expand on it the way a fanfic would. (Or not, thinking of one HORRIBLE movie-tie-in in particular... *wanders off grumbling*)

However we can solve that problem by no-one watching enough of it to become an expert and therefore it's unlikely anyone will be assigned a mission there, right? :)
