Ladies and Gentlemen, I have just found a lolcat translator. http://www.slangaholic.com/

Surprisingly enough, it's actually quite good at it. It can translate nearly anything into hilariously childish lolcatese.

Naturally, this has spawned ideas...

So here's my challenge. You know all that badfic? All that *REALLY* bad fic, with more words wrong than right, enough mistakes to keep the Authors graves spinning for another millenia or two...
...would this tool make them worse, or... better?

*grins evilly and runs off to get more caffeine*

Frankly, I don't have the time to look through this as it's expanded rapidly. It's a rewrite of one of this author's old N&C fics, which I objected to on sheer suckage factor by changing the ending to be a happy one and therefore ruining the entire message of the book. She then rewrote the story, coming to me for beta reading help. I accepted. She fired me about three days later because I pointed out plothole after plothole (and a number of biology errors, too). To my knowledge, she only kept the spelling and grammar erros (of which there were a lot). What I saw of it and the author's attitude makes me think badfic was imminent. Therefore, I'm flagging this so someone else can read it and see if my suspicions were correct.

Otherwise my additions to the Meat series would never have existed (though some would claim that's a good thing).

I'm just glad that someone else has actually heard there's a difference.

They started the script in March, hoping for a mid-2011 release.

I'll allow the inertial dampeners to fail without me complaining about how they should all be dead.

does this mean, however, that we may be able to... you know... get a new main page? One that's up to date?

Just like a person, they change over time. Sometimes dramatically, sometimes slowly, but there is always some kind of change.

Well, it's personal choice. I did a mission once that crossed over with Twilight, but only marginally. Either way, it's up to you. :)

I actually meant to ask whether or not anybody was taking on missions for it; my bad, it was poorly worded. I had a bit of an idea, but I'll let it fester a bit in my brain and see if it goes anywhere :P Thanks though

I think I remember you. Not sure. Either way, welcome. *hands over Convenient Cake*

Eh; most of us have Sue skeletons in our closet; it's why we are able to make the distinction now. Innocence isn't very helpful. :)

As for Twilight, we're not doing anything; we can't, even if we wanted to, and not everyone does. I'm no fan of it, but Canon Sue or no, it doesn't irritate me nearly as much as you, apparently, and in any case, once it's published, it's out of our hands. Thankfully, no one can make us take on missions for it.

Sorry to be so brief, but I'm in a bit of a hurry.

Cheers!

My mom said it's the other way around.

Sounds like something the 6th Doctor would wear at Christmastime.
Or a prop from the Icelandic production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

...I do remember the name. I remember it sounded like a creature from Lord of the Rings Online. :-D

To answer your question: as far as I know, we aren't doing anything. I'm sure there are plenty of works that should never have been published and many of us would love to be destroyed (Eragon for example), but a canon is a canon, and we cannot actually PPC published canons. Sporkings like those done by Kippurbird and MST's are up to you, but as far as I know there's nothing we can do "about" Twilight. The Duty's The Duty, after all.

Hope to see you more often!

I'm always willing to beta. Since I don't want to repost my contact information too much, you can find it on my userpage at the Wiki, DirtyCommie.

Hi everybody! None of you will remember me; I was active a few years ago, but not really for a long enough to have made any kind of lasting impression. So I suppose I will start with a brief introduction.

I primarily dabble in Lord of the Rings fanfiction, although I have been taking a several year hiatus. I actually recently returned due in part to the new Star Trek movie, figuring that the entire Star Trek Continuum is going to need some extra help with its recent revival in pop culture. I am female, and I once wrote a Mary Sue at twelve years of age; an unforgivable sin I know, but I do owe my writing ability to that early start.

I actually have a question for everybody, seeing as I haven't been around. What are we doing about the Twilight series? It's practically a canon Mary Sue... the author should be taken out and shot. Yet I'm sure there's fanfiction being written on it. Anyway, that's more idle curiosity than anything else... it is such a dreadful book.

Any takers?

But I can now finally get through that scene with only a minimal lump in my throat. W00t!

Basically, I think this idea sounds awesome. I love space stories, though my own attempts at writing them usually fizzle.

I'd advise you, since you're writing this with heavy emphasis on the characters, to keep a close eye on them. Characters, especially those who you think you've plotted out their personalities and such beforehand, have a tendency to get away from you and run off in their own direction. You might have to jerk them back into line every now and then.

(In my own experience, Fritz is a good example of this; he's shown himself to be much less worrisome and more aggressive and laconic than I'd originally intended. Some of my older characters also refuse to be pigeonholed.)

That said, I admire you for doing something like this, and based off the character sheet you posted you've got a good strong roster to work with, and a solid premise to build on. If you ever need beta-reading, drop me a line.

So if anyone actually gives half a damn about my PPC work, you're probably going to have to wait a while for my third mission. While it's already been started, I just got back from the first session of my summer class on Hemingway, and by the look of things it's gonna put me through the wringer. I have to read all of A Moveable Feast (which is 200-odd pages), plus two online articles, and write a page-long paper, all by Thursday.

Regardless, I'd really like to hear what other people think about Hemingway. I think I'm gonna love this class, mostly because Hemingway is possibly a more interesting character than any he ever wrote himself. Just based off the synopsis of his life I got in my first class today, he was Hunter S. Thompson before Hunter S. Thompson had the chance to be (not joking; the parallels between them are almost alarming).

Anyone have any thoughts?

Minus Spock Prime, that is.
