My first impression: Whoever came up with that soundtrack should be fired. Out of a cannon. "Hallelujah" for the Archie R-rated sequence? Seriously?

Secondly, the people who designed and built Archie deserve a huge raise. Archie was just like he was in the book, but better.

I wasn't that impressed by the ending. The line "Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends." from Jon is what finally breaks Adrian in the comics, and I was disappointed that it wasn't used for the same effect.

Also, what happened to Hollis? We didn't see him get killed, we don't see him in the resolution, he's just a dangling end.

Final nitpick: What's with Nite Owl's "NOOOOOO!!!!1!!"? He randomly follows Rorschach, sees him killed, and then yells "NOOOOO!!!!"... and then stops, gets up, and walks inside. Anticlimactic, muchly?

Okay, one more. No squid-beast-thing. :(

Overall grade: A. Most of my complaints are with the cinematography rather than the book-to-movie conversion, so that's a point in its favor. The shooting seemed clunky at times, but the fight choreography was smooth and beautiful. The whole 300-esque messing-with-time bit in fights was done just right.

So, yes, I am paranoid about my new fandom. That led to the creation of the Official Fanfiction University of Battlestar Galactica. Credit, of course, goes to the lovely Miss Cam.

This isn't really a full story, but rather a series of drabbles and scenes. The reason is because I can't write chaptered stories. Really. They often end up being put on near-permanent hiatus. So if anyone with the knowledge wants to take a look and craft it into a coherent story, feel free to ask.

Here's the link to the OFU.

make me want to cry. :(

Upstairs doesn't create an entirely new Department or Division for the sole purpose of giving a Flower a job, after all.

I just can't get it out of my head, it's so painful...

With that in mind...arcane torrent alone probably wouldn't dispel the size increase (as I mentioned, he's seventy feet tall by the time they get there). 

Now, they could just drop him through a portal as planned (need a big one).  But I'm guessing one should still charge even demon!Sues before killing them.  And the pre-existing size increase makes it a bit difficult to charge him without getting swatted like flies, or ensure that the other demons to whom he's being turned over know just why he's been a naughty boy.  (Thinking someone writes "DRAENEI-LOVER!" on him with a permanent marker.)

Then, we have the Anchorite!Sue.  Several solutions will be suggested (including turning her over to the Auchenai or to a less affable man'ari eredar) but all will be rejected on the suspicion that she'd somehow either win them over or just supplant them.  As it is, I have two possibilities for her final fate.  Still balancing them in my mind.

It does serve a purpose. it's gives a place for the dark lord gernanium?

The point is, as a Division/Department it would have nothing to contribute. Evil sues or fics are not common enough to require a new Division or Department. It would have the exact same job.

Well, he will be brand new in May.

L

aren't dark lords a bit pointless too? of it could be the department of evil that dals with evil fics. or call it a subset of the DMS

Reference to Sauron's 'Annatar' disguise in the Second Age, perhaps?

Why moving to Ireland? That's pretty awesome.

I coupld possibly have made it. I am (if all goes according to plan) moving to Ireland in October. Maybe another gathering in November?

Sorry about that.
Boston is awesome.

I've not ventured there in... oh, ages. I don't know if I shall in the foreseeable future. ^^;

I'd take care of this one, but... well. It looks kinda like DIC's domain. Never mind that I've no idea who operates in that department... well.

Anyway, I do hope someone takes this monster on; it hurts us, precious.

The Warriors section is always chock-full of badfic ripe for the sporking.

Curse that frakking Atlantic Ocean indeed. And the entire expanse of the U.S. Why am I on the West Coast? :[

Cool.

I'll give this one a tentative maybe.

On the plus side, it's about three weeks after loan day, which means I could afford the train fare.

On the other hand, we've a three day birthday celebration on the 13th, 14th, and 15th, and many years of practice have led to the conclusion that these three need spreading out for the sake of wallets, livers, and generally not vomiting and making a tit of oneself. This year's celebrations are thus due to begin on the 9th and finish on the 18th. Making it to London then may therefore be problematic.
