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!

So I can use chibi versions of canons/OCs as mini-Metroid food?

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.

Brain is the physical thing; mind the metaphysical. For some that's the same, for others it isn't. For me it isn't as you can play mind games, but not brain games.

On the ethical part of the research: any research that changes the test subject in any way (and making them look at scary pictures is changing them; making them look at scary pictures, giving them an electric jolt and then giving them a pill before making them look at more scary pictures is changing them even more) needs to be accorded by an ethical committee.

If the experiment took place this means the ethical committee has assessed the potential damage was acceptable.

The drug does not take away the memory; it takes away the fear associated with the memory. The person would still have the bad memory. He would just not be affraid of it anymore.

I'm reading the linked article and though the point of the Dutch researcher is made (not changing the memory, just changing the response), the British scientists that respond (mostly) seem to fail to see this point. They're talking about it being bad to change a bad memory, 'cause memories are useful. But the memory wasn't changed, the response to it was. So it would have been nice to see these scientists respond to the usefulness (or not) of changing a response to a bad memory.

They make valid points, though they are some what irrelevant to the research that was presented.

That said, when the item opened my first thought was of bleeprin aswell.

I should have made that clearer...
And I'll stick with " when lauren met the doctor" and "Thief" (which is by a different author). Don't want to look like I'm persecuting her after all...

By the way, what in Xendor's name are "chibis"?

You didn't say you were intending on taking on any of them as missions.

By the way, taking on one story and its sequel is one thing. You could stick them together and kill the Sue in one mission. Taking on a third story is like you are targetting this author. Of course, this may not be your intention and she need never know about this, but it still might look that way to outsiders.

Anyway, I've read the miley story, seen quite a few charges in it, so I'll be interested in seeing what you make of it.

A medication that creates memory loss...that remineds me of a book I read called Kiss, it was by Ted Dekker. The Heroine lost her memory due to a medication that supresses the memory.

I intend to do the second and its sequel, as well as http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4671938/1/Doctorwhowhenlaurenmetthedoctor .

It has a "Timelord 993", which a reviewer sounds like a weapon. Hmm...could this be the legendary "anti-regeneration" gun?

But British experts questioned the ethics of tampering with the mind.

Hang on. I thought this stuff's affecting brain chemistry. Time, perhaps, these scientists realised brain = mind? 'Cause if they haven't yet made that link, surely the experiments were a tad unethical in the first place?

Well, it's not bleach and aspirin, but apparently this stuff can erase bad memories. Weird.

Not sure if any of these have been PPC'd

Frey
Found alone in a storm. Fourteen year old Frey seems to know alot about aliens. The torchwood team allow her to join them but what other secrets is she hiding?

She's the Master's daughter in Cardiff.

Torchwood Mystic Storm
This is my first fan fic story. All characters you recognize from Torchwood are Russel T. Davis any others are my own made-up characters.

Jack/OC and OC/OC. Hotaru, computer whizkid, been working for Tochwood for two years since graduating from college. Is sleeping with Jack and Kelly Rose. Kelly Rose, her roommate, cook and friend with benefits. Poor punctuation and grammar.

Trapped
What would happen if the world was sudden infected by an alien disease that killed everyone? And then by some ill fated accident, members of the torchwood team fell through a crack in time to this world? Would they survive? Eventual TorchwoodXDoctorWho

Earth Shock The Electric Feel
A new member of the Torchwood team suddenly shows up. an old friend of Jack's with something, or someone in common. Aurora has an interesting past, and present. rated M for bad langugae and sexual content. Please rate and review. ENJOY!

Hmm… I'll take the first one.

"Don't call me Doc." -- The Doctor, The Time Meddler.

"If the review on FF.net was good and the other one was horrible, I'd assume it had plenty of smut."

I presume you meant AFF instead of FF?

I hate computers! On the library computer, I can't get onto the Subreality thing because it 'exceeds the weighted phrase limit' whatever the hell that is. On the school computer, it won't let me onto the Archive thing. *rips out hair in frustration*

I just skimmed the fics. First one has a run on sentence problem, but didn't seem too horrid. Basic "Doctor Who is not a TV show it's real" premise. Would be interesting to investigate whether what that means for PPC agents that step into such a fic.

Second one: I stopped reading when Jackie yelled at Rose something about wanting to get married after a year, but having a 13 year old daughter to think of. Uh, is this Rose who wants to get married to human!Doctor? Then how did 21 year old Rose get a 13 year old daughter?
No wait, don't answer that. Just kill it.

Third one: too short. Just leave it a critical review. That will kill it.

Do you want to take any of these on yourself? I've noticed your rather prolific. If not, I may want to take my chances for brain damage on the second fic.

The first one isn't quite so bad as the others, but they certainly seem bad enough to PPC. Although you might have trouble with that third one iven it's so short.

Yup, remember you too. I kinda hope I can poke my head back in from time to time whenever I need a little snarky pick-me-up. I guess eventually I may need to leave it to the new generation, lest I turn into the next Bast. xD
