Just read it, and yes, it's rather disgusting. I reckon Mulhoon would be able to handle it, though, as I managed it without an eyetwitch. Unfotunately, I don't know the Power Rangers canon at all.

I use Yahoo Mail. Any problems with that?

Actually, there are a few technical errors. Not enough to be killable in themselves, but still. The author seems to be quite fond of gratuitous tense-shifting.

And here's the link: http://www.geocities.com/houseofmst/lqmsts.html

...set it in a stable orbit, and then rotate it to produce centrifugal gravity. Also, what about boarding the International Space Station, turn the current occupants to clam chowder, and modify it to last a thousand years.

Oh wait, the thread's adjourned. see ya later!

My internet died due to some technobabble thingy. This will be also on the gmail post.

...is a series of horrible "Harry Potter" suefics where Harry has been replaced by Rose. The typist basically copied large chunks of the books, changing a scene here and there and changing "Harry" to "Rose". Because they're so long and horrible, we were going to do it as a mass mission, with different agents handling different chapters. It seems to have faded away, though.

(Rose is a nudist and has SPESHUL DRUIDESS POWERS! She also comes across as a sociopath, although that's probably not intentional.)

"My Inner Life" is a notoriously gawdawful and ridiculously long "Ocarina of Time"-universe Suefic.  I think it's pretty much dead anyhow.

I wouldn't call it a fixation, I was just never a Power Rangers kid. Wall-E I'm a lot more attached to.

Anyhow. Lord Zedd is probably the most out-of-character in the batch, seeing as how I doubt he'd really revel so readily in seeing any of the Rangers in pain (and that line at the start makes it rather clear where the self-insert is). He's really drinking it in in here. Granted, he hates the Rangers for constantly foiling him, but at the level portrayed? I sincerely doubt it.

While I can believe that he'd be fascinated by finding out something new, I do not believe he'd never heard of torture before coming to Earth. He's an evil overlord. Honestly. That's a big problem, since it branches out the rest of the fic. Also, as it mentions within the fic itself, he doesn't nominally make regular calls to taunt the rest of the Rangers while enacting his plans. That seems mostly contrived to create more horror on the reader's part by imagining how the Rangers feel in that position.

The Rangers, I have to say, are pretty much spot-on in character. We could probably charge for thesaurus abuse or repetitiveness later on since the Author starts running out of alternate ways to describe Kimberly's pain.

Also, isn't abuse of canon characters a charge? Especially when one winds up very messily dead.

Well, ignoring your slightly bizarre Wall-thingy fixation for now...

There are no technical errors. There are no characterisation errors. What exactly's wrong with the fic, except that it squicks you in ungodly and perverted ways? Because, technically, since we all have different tastes, we can't charge for that.

Mind you, a clear self-insert makes it easier to kill.

The wiki gives no hits, and the name's not ringing any bells, so... probably not? Unless it's been taken by someone who hasn't updated the Killed or Claimed lists, of course.

We've chucked car-sized spacecraft so hard that they've exceeded not just Earth's escape velocity but also the Sun's. We've landed more than two metric tons of scientific equipment on Mars, and gotten enough data back to assemble fairly comprehensive geologic maps of the planet. We've landed spacecraft on Venus. We've nailed comets with bullets fired years earlier. We put people on the moon when the most powerful computers on the planet were less powerful than the average modern graphing calculator, and all within 100 years of the first powered flight in history. I would not be so quick to denounce human potential.

And no, we wouldn't have to terraform entire planets for colonization. Large-scale tent cities are feasible on Mars, at least, where low pressure and gravity make holding up tents with internal pressure possible.

(And I disagree on the possibility of terraforming planets. In the last few thousand million years, Earth has been everything from a volcanic lava planet straight out of the dreams of Lucas to a ball covered in green oceans under a carbon dioxide atmosphere to a smoldering impact wasteland. Terraforming is quite possible, although it'll probably take geological time, rather than a more human scale, to complete. Mars will be harder than some worlds, as it's small and has no magnetic field.)

Space exploration and colonization is a matter of time and will, not possibility.

Based off a line from the first chapter, which said Kimberly evidently "excited Lord Zedd in ways he didn't quite understand", I think it was... God, I have no idea. Definitely the Author putting himself in Lord Zedd's position in this. Residual anger at Kimberly for exciting his own latent sexuality? I've heard of people reacting to sexual arousal, the first time around, with anger, though frankly I don't understand it myself.

Definitely a self-insert case. Definitely by someone with an UNGODLY sick mind. The characterization, as I mentioned, was spot-on, and the fic is one that the Department of Technical Errors could go over with a fine-toothed comb and find no problem with.

It's just really, really, ...ing sick. Not totally sure how I got through that one. 4chan, I suppose, plus music, plus the fact that I'm somewhat emotionally detached anyhow. I know that if this had been a Wall-E story, God in his Infinite Wisdom Forbid, I would NOT have been able to proceed.

Goddamnit, Mogulus, you would pick today to hammer my favorite cartoon channels. Will have to settle for talking about it to get over this.

...And... was that meant to be, y'know, porn?

Because if so I am worried for the sake of my gender.

(And also crossing my legs at the fishing hook.)

Hey, it's done! And did it ever end badly. Kimberly is dead in a manner that I will describe only so that you don't have to go through this yourself.

Buffer text buffer text buffer text, man A Flock of Seagulls are a great band, okay that's probably enough buffer text by now.

After sandpapering the skin and nipples off her breasts and tearing her clitoris with a fishing hook, she was literally ...ed to death. This is on top of having her feet burned to crisps with a blowtorch, her nails prised off with a file, and her fingers chopped off joint by joint with hedgeclippers. Plus much torture prior in the previous chapters.

All together now.

FLAMING GOD-DAMNED DENETHOR!

End of Chapter 6. Y'know, in my days, I have seen a lot of people who I honestly think should have been locked up, or at least works from them.

This guy is one of those people. I wouldn't wish this kind of shit on Adolf Hitler or Caligula.

ANYHOW. It's getting worse, I'll say that much. The gloves are off, but I think there's only one chapter left. Bracing for the worst.

= = =

Mid-chapter-7. Oh, look at that, actual mutilation. With blowtorches and hedgeclippers. Yeah, I'm not talking anymore about that. We probably want to stop this madness prior to Chapter 6 if the mission is taken on, preferably far sooner.

But as the Scissor Sisters say, "If I stop now, call me a quitter."

I'm gonna save the end for another post, seeing as how it gets VERY graphic.

I'm going to keep posting these so I can keep myself up for this challenge.

The grammar, spelling, capitalization... they're immaculate. That is not good. The characterization is very nearly spot-on (aside from some aforementioned ragging). There's nothing here to MOCK. LxC, you can mock the dryness of the sex. Celebrian, you can mock the dialogue. That Series, you can mock the general ridiculousness of the situation.

There's nothing to mock here. Goddamnit, NK, stay steady.

= = =

Well, the end of Chapter 5 went in a predictable and yet still rather nasty direction. Chapter 6 brings us to the actual mutilation, if you can believe that it took this long.

I need more powerful 'tunes, but I will get through this. Switching on the disco. Continuing on.

Not that I'd touch that...abomination.

Poor Frodo the Nine-Fingered.

That's all I can say. *tosses Mom's wedding ring into nearest volcano*

I thank God for my fast reading skills. No time to dwell on the Words.

= = =

Based off the first chapter alone, it's pretty obvious this was written more than partially with the author in Zedd's place.

I have made it halfway down. I had to put on some music to dull the horror, but 4chan has trained me well (being male might also have something to do with it, since this author seems to have an obsession with torturing the genitals). Of course, this is only going to get worse. Continuing on.

(For the record, though, I have seen some first season PR, so I do know who the characters are. And hearing the voices in my head, I will say, is NOT helping.)

= = =

Chapter 5. First verbal exclamation (Oh, Jesus). I shall spare the details of this. Continuing on.

Also, author appears to be ragging on Jason somewhat. He's breaking down and yelling at Billy. That is totally NOT Jason- he'd be distressed at Kimberly's situation, but that would not be enough to get him snapping and shaking his friends.

I think whoever wants to start something might target the Internet first. After all, according to Popular Science magazine, our precious intrawebz are just a bunch of fiber-optic cords at the bottom of the ocean. Remove some, and there's no connectivity in a certain part of the world.

So if there is going to be a nuclear holocaust, I predict that the intrawebz are going to get cut first and thusly cut off communications from the rest of the world. After all those virus and hacker stuff, a physical attack on the Internet is likely to be on a terrorist's list of things to do before nuking the planet.

(*taps foot* Where are the spaceships and battlestars when you need them?)

Really, some of those are priceless. I'd almost forgotten what degree of unintentionally hilarious muppetry still exists. Gonna be laughing for days at that.
