They have to be taught that they can't just skip willy-nilly through missions, exorcising early and avoiding having to fix up mutilated characters. The Lace has chosen to do this by having them do a marathon five-fic continuous mission through AFF.net's Narnia section. Part three of this horror story, 'Mirror Mirror' can be found here:

Howdy and How's things?
I am MsDuck and am new to writing for the PPC but not to reading it.
Anyhoo, i'd like to get started by saying that I come equipped with two Agents, a baby penguin and a pool filled with exploding ducks.
I think i'll deal more with 'rare' fandoms. (Rare being subjective of course.)
Pleasantly,
MsDuck

Otakon tends to get a bit expensive, partially because we drive back and forth every day to Baltimore. There is also the wonderful booths that just tend to draw you in and suck all the money out of your pocket.

He was on the New Year's Honours List, and was offically knighted on Wednesday. It's not official 'til you're actually knighted by the Queen.

Few weeks ago there was a documentary on TV where he told about his Alzheimers, and in the end credits it seemed to say: Sir Terry Pratchett.
Actually, on my screen it said (I don't have wide screen and lose some information on the sides):
resented by
ir Terry Pratchett
I may have added the wrong letter before ir.

Well done, stellar as always - I especially liked how you tied in the ending with the genderbender incident.

While I may not be one of his fans (though that will change someday), I have heard good things about him. Also, I want to be the first to proclaim the news.

If no one else has claimed it, already. The writer apparently has never seen a comma in her life.

Such enthusiasm~!
Welcome aboard, Pads. I don't know how long it'll be until I/we have something workable to throw at you, but... probably within a week or two. Acts need to be gotten together and such. How shall I contact you?
And thanks. ^^

But Sue! chibis are fair game, I take it? Arron's getting hungry, and dying by mini-Metroid would be a rather embarrassing way to go...

I haven't received any new mail. I was just wondering, because quite a lot of emails haven't been able to reach me in the past.

Well, rumour has it that there is Sue in the meat that is served at the cafeteria.
Somehow I got the image that chibi versions of canons are like some for of minis. I know some fandoms have minis that are tiny persons. So I imagine them having a personallity too.
Eh, just don't feed any live ones to the mini-Metroids.

First off, a mission! Final Fantasy X-2, and mischaracterization abounds~ Kat and Samuel took offense.
Second, I've recently been approached by a person in search of a beta for their Harry Potter story. It... er... well, see for yourselves. Here.
The nice thing is, this person wants to improve. They acknowledge they're not the best right now, and have advised me to be as brutal as necessary when whipping things into shape. (So please don't verbally eviscerate them? =P)
Only thing is, this person is American. And so am I. While this story takes place in England and Scotland. Even if there is an American student involved -- I'm still skeptical about this -- it should be correct. Britically. Or something like that. ^^; I volunteered to go fishing and see what I could find, and they asked if I would be so kind.
Any of you kind Boarders feel up to it?
My next resort is the Pit's beta feature. Could be iffy. ^^; But if no one's brave enough, I can go fish over there too.
Thanks for your patience, at the very least~

That's the impression I got. Which is why after the season three finale aired I kept badgering my mate for a "Doctor Chibi" for Christmas (cage and little suit included).

We muck around with Bleeprin in the PPC, laughing about agents overdosing or goiing loopy, but it's very possible that people could overuse it just as so many pharmaceutical are overused. Dependancy would be so damn easy. The article touches on this, but not in enough detail, I think.
Really, I hope that they find some flaw and dump the whole project. Too risky. And besides that, people need to learn to deal with fear, or they're just going to spend their lives fearing an incident that will make them afraid. That's no way to live.

It just requires a neurosurgical degree/license and a consent form. =)
Actually, a gentle electrical stimulus across certain sections of the brain is a perfectly acceptable research method. That and information gathered from strokes are how the areas of the brain have been identified. A slightly simplified example might be where a surgeon applies a current to a certain area in the brain and the patient suddenly starts babbling or complains about pressure on his leg.
Yay for taking a cognitive neuroscience class!

But I think the term "chibis" comes from anime or manga. It are "cute" characters: short, round, big eyes.
Use google picture search for some examples.
