This was my primary argument against uniforms being compulsory - parents and teachers tried to make it sound like A Good Things by saying it would prevent bullying, but we argued the opposite. They DON'T NEED REASONS.
Sadly.

And I want to write some normal pairings for a change, damnit. Not ones that most people have never even thought about.

You've seen what happens when someone gets me thinking about weird and random pairings. You trying to get me to write another one like the last?

44228 Ultra. (Can anyone think up any good "nicknames" for it? Someone already suggested "shrinky-dink" in the comments for the fic.)

bullying because of multiple mothers by
on 2009-06-03 00:59:00 UTC

My partner was mocked at school for having 'two mums'. He dealt with it in a very mature and typically teenage boy fashion from what I've gathered - he by turns ignored, offered violence to, or mocked in retaliation the people who did it. And he grew up fine. Except for the odd detention for the violence, I understand.
Being bullied at school happens. Kids who bully don't need excuses. If they can't get you on one thing they'll get you on another. The way to deal with bullying is to deal with bullies, not to try and 'not give them reasons'. They don't *need* reasons. They don't care about reasons. Kids who bully do it because they like control and they like power. They're not doing it because they feel it's their right to persecute those who are different.

I was a bit of a Suethor once upon a time... luckily the PPC never found my fics back then.
Welcome, welcome! I gift you with a weighted companion cube (it will never threaten to stab you) and a crate of Molotov cocktails!

Have an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and whisks not only eggs, but author wraiths and spambots, too! Use it for good and not evil.

... from the end of "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back"; while I'm still reasonably fit, I'll hire a private detective to track down the people who are saying that kind of thing, go to their homes, and beat the everloving hell out of them. (In the movie, the titular guys use the money they get from a movie about characters based on them to travel around the country beating up everyone who said bad things about the film on the Internet. I figure this idea has great potential.)

One of mine's been wanting a mini-Tribble for a while now. He (well, it) will be cared for, ferociously protected, and adored with the kind of fervor only /really/ obsessed Trekkies can give.

The combat can be really awkward , especially when you're doing combos. Mounted fighting is absolutely awful, because there's no fluidity to the movements and you get knocked off if an enemy so much as looks at you.
Plus, the horrific voice acting really puts me off. It sounds like the guys they got to do it didn't even make an effort.

don't tell the badficcers.
Guidelines don't explicitly say PPC fics are forbidden. One of of the things listed as not allowed is: MST: comments inserted in between the flow of a copied story.
PPC mission are usually the opposite: copied comments (quotes of the badfic) into the flow of a story.
That's probably not an argument that's going to carry much weight, so I'm probably still on ffnet by virtue of the fact that the site administrator only acts up when badly written porn with a T rating is reported. (and that badficcers generally don't know the rules anyway).

Welcome to the PPC! Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *holds out bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* We don't tend to have much use for things like that here. Also, have a hug and a Nova Grenade. It will be useful. Trust me on this.

Hey, loads of us are former Suethors, so don't feel ashamed for that.
Maybe you can even slay your own Sues - I know a couple of people who've been doing that.
As a welcome gift, here, take this bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object. Hope you have fun here!
