That's right, Chapter Five of OFUTRC is out!

Well, technically, it was out a couple of days ago, but we forgot to plug it.

Anyway! Here's the link! Enjoy!

Ran an old incarnation of it a while ago (and came up with the main concept), but that blew up partly due to me and a mod not getting on and it was too hard to run alone. Recruited two new different mods, fixed up the structure to make it easier to run, rebooted, and here we are.

It's going much better this time.

Ciri and I have been working recently on an MST of a fic called 'My Chemical Phantom', and have finished the first chapter!

You can find the original fic here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3030699/1/MyChemicalPhantom

The MST is here: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dgb2zk67_73hkmh5ngb

We'll post the next chapter when we finish, but enjoy!

I should study up on my oldbies.

E-mail me the details and I can tell you what I think. Ultimately, they're your characters and you know them better than anyone else, but if you want advice without spoiling everyone, I'm happy to help.

And welcome. :)
...can I call you Maudlin or Hart without being bitten in half? 'Cause, you know, that sounds really uncomfortable. I like my torso being attached to my legs, thanks. :) But hey, Suenicorn jerky. I'm not usually a meat-eater, but that sounds absolutely delicious.
I must think of some way to thank you... Here, have a new pointe shoe. Good for dishing out minor to moderate concussions. :)
So... yeah. Many welcomes. Be insanely gleeful; we don't really use that sanity thing around here all that much.

Its only blessing is that it's short. I think I shall take it on, should no one object; one does not mess with the Abhorsen without getting a face full of angry Assassins.

Hm... think the Abhorsen'll need to be exorcised? Is that even Sabriel? No name is given, so it could as well be a character replacement 'Sue or something to that effect...

I had to deal with a first-person narrative in my Star Trek mission, but that was a slash exorcism. But I still beat it over the head until foam popped out of the seams. Perhaps your agents could simply be charged with reparing all the rips and tears after the mission?

Will keep thinking.

It *is* frowned upon to take Sues out of the canon they're in to another one to exorcise them; we took them to the Real World, albeit the Real World 65mya ago ... and Agents Trojie and Pads will probably end up getting in some trouble for that one, probably in the form of a particularly horrific mission in the Potterverse - the Flowers like inflicting Marauder-era pain on them when they do wrong.

The reason, I suspect, that it's not allowed is that they already contaminated one Word World - by moving them to another you give them a chance, however slim, to contaminate another. Remember, a Sue is a canon-warping influence.

…the targets are not damaged, only changed.

I will say that the Agent who was fooled has recently had a personality change, and that what was done was rigged to be irreversible.

I haven't read any PPC mishes that are entirely in first person, or any that are in first person at all, to my memory, which isn't saying much.

What I recommend though is for the mission to be done in a diary form, or, barring that, how you would write it in a report for the DoIA, just much longer. Report form would be the best, I think.
As for the crash test dummies, I advise weapons that work on ghosts and not physical form, or which can be selective on which realm it attacks.

On that note, I think an artificial Keyblade would actually be a great help here. It possesses the power to momentarily force a ghost (or shadow) into the normal world and make it physical, giving you enough time to hurt it. The spirit (Or shadow) remains attached to the thing they're possessing, however, and will return if not destroyed quickly enough.
Another way to go about it is the Avada Kedavra curse, since it leaves the body unharmed, but seems to destroy the spirit, if the Horcrux that was in Harry is any indication.
Other suggestions would be to use any psychic or dark-type Pokemon from the Pokemon continuum, a Ghost-Slaying Axe from the City of Heroes Continuum, an exorcising / depossession spell from Charmed / Buffy or the Light Arrows from Legend of Zelda. The arrows won't work by themselves, nor will the axe, but when used with the Keyblade or depossession spell, they'd be much more effective.

Thank Eru. I don't want minis running around the Real World...

I don't think so.

Dude. You're in charge of that rp? I ran across it earlier and thought it was a cool idea.

THe Real World doesn't have any minis, and you misspelled Charlemagne by accident... Wait, do Real World misspellings actually create anything?

It's just that people (such as me) immediately think D&D when those terms were put together.

More like a somewhat loose group of knights who served SuperInflated!Charlengmane in the early middle ages, supposedly killing thousands of moors. Their names are Roland( or Orlando in italian), Oliver, Rinaldo, his brother Ricardetto(I think), Rogero, Bradmante, Malagigi(I think) Astolfo, and a few others, although the name escapes me.

Have a Sky Bison!

Thank you!

And it got better towards the end of the story, but Andy and I have become AMAZINGLY nitpicky towards our old writing and have definitely improved as writers, with our pacing and all.

So we want to go back and edit like crazy, tighten it up, and the end result will be that it should be shorter. Not like any chapters will get cut, but each chapter should be shorter just from us cutting down on the narrative and fixing the pacing problems.

A better way would be saying we're going to "refine" it or something. Say the same things with a lot less words.

Part of why we're loathe to add new chapters is because we can't stand how the earlier ones are screaming "EDIT ME! EDIT ME, YOU BASTARDS!" but since both of us are busy with school and don't have much time to edit them...

We kinda want to wait until we have free time, fix the whole thing up, tack the last few chapters on, and put the entire thing out as a more presentable (complete) story from start to finish.

I say we start editing pages as they come up.

{...while holding a joy buzzer} Mwahaha!

Okay, kidding. XD

It's nice to see fans! If you go up to Andy's message up thar, you'll get a nice little view of the state of Suedom.

If I had an Assassin agent, I'd take it. That's both awful enough to warrant a spork and short and stupid enough to be an entertaining mission. Also, not capitalising Saraneth is a SRS OFFENCE.

Sadly I don't think it's slashy enough to have been sent to the Dept. of Bad Slash, given the ENORMOUS SUE.

Any Assassins wanting to take it on, I salute you!
