Now, when Stormsong and Skyfire reach the OFUR for the big end-of-mass-mission party (I'm getting to it, I swear) they'll inevitably meet Snowspine, their original author. Awkward situation all round, as those present for the roleplay party or who have seen certain pics on my devArt account will know. Any suggestions for how to handle their interactions once their consciences kick in?
Also, I had the idea that since she created them and they're in the Word Worlds, they should have some sort of pseudo-psychic connection to her - preferably something that sounds cool at first but is utterly useless, at least until the Obligatory Yearly Emergency that all OFUs go through. Would that work?

Reporting a Cowboy Bebop Sue. by

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3447242/1/ARenewedLife
Fandom: Cowboy Bebop
Rating: T
Summary: Post Real Folk Blues. An overwhelmed and amnesiac girl awakens from a cryogenic sleep to discover a world that she could’ve never dreamed of. Accompanied by a handsome cowboy, and a diverse crew, she tries to find her place.
Hope I'm not the only one here familiar with Cowboy Bebop (if you're not, watch it. NOW.), since I hope someone can make a good kill of this one. Just by existing it messes up the canon by having Spike survive the series' ending (Resurrected!Spike= automatic mission, as far as I'm concerned, though I don't know if that means the agents who take this one have to kill him again). Spelling and grammar get pretty dicey at points, too, but there's a lot of chapters (18 so far) and it updated last month. There's also a good bit of OOC behaviour on the part of everyone involved. The Sue even rips off a bit of Faye's backstory, though otherwise she's a bit textbook. Still, I think it has potential to make an entertaining mission if any of you are willing to take it.

Crossoverness by

Seriously, what is up with that? Although I don't particularly like crossovers, I can acknowledge that they are good ones. That many characters from that many canons just seems... well, unecessary. That's going to be hell to untangle, especially with the sheer number of characters coming in out of nowhere.
Also, heh, yeah. Greebo's? With more than one of that furry bundle of joy out there I'm surprised that school hasn't been decimated already.

Well, I'll see if any of my anime-loving friends have it. It sounds interesting for its own sake.
This is what I'm looking at doing next:
Full Metal and the Hogwarts mishap
Ed goes to Hogwarts to investigate these so called wizards. Posing as a student from Durmstrang, he runs into Harry and his gang, and guess what happens? mishap!Please R&R AU EdWinry! Harry and Ginny or Harry and tonks havn't decided yet
I warn you, it will make your eyes bleed just to look at it. The formatting is that bad.

It's a manga/anime fandom by
on 2008-11-22 20:30:00 UTC

based on the classic Chinese tale 'Journey To The West'. The manga is, IIRC, 9 volumes long with at least one sequel. The anime is about 50 episodes, with a movie, sequels and OVAS.
Don't look at me. I'm guilty of HP crossovers mysely. July just passed me the summary for a HP/Ouran crossover that sounds frightening.I hope to never see a Code Geass, Macross Frontier or Gundam 00 crossover with HP. They're about as compatible with it as Saiyuki.

That's quite the story. And just from that, I can tell Harry/Hakkai is WAY out-of-character, reincarnation or no.
Is this a series of manga/anime, or is there a single thing I can find when I have time?
... I think my next actual mission is HP/FMA. For some reason, I can't seem to find crossovers in continua I know that don't involve Harry Potter. O.o Didn't someone declare that a rule of the internet is that if it exists, there is a HP crossover of it?

because that one bugs me. The thought of Harry as Hakkai is... agh. Hakkai is a calm, polite person who you really don't want to make mad, will make small talk with someone who is meant to be one of his worst enemies, can hold his alcohol better than any of his companions, is the general 'mum' of the group (but thinking he's weak because of it will be the last mistake you ever make, as several youkai have found out) and became a youkai himself by killing 1000 members of a clan of youkai that kidnapped, raped and impregnated his lover, who also happened to be his sister which was a relationship they knew about, and who killed herself rather than carry the child to term.
He's about as far from Harry as you can get.

Having skimmed through the fic, though, I wish I did know Saiyuki. I'd love to take down this foolishness. When will they learn that Harry is not compatible with Snape or Draco? Argh.

Good question... by
on 2008-11-22 19:37:00 UTC
Reply
I'm not really going to really do anything about it, with chances for my agents going public becoming less and less likely by the month. The question is more academic than anything, with implications for other, future goodfic nevertheless marred by the presence of a Sue.
And in many respects ii is goodfic, quite exceptional goodfic... it's just that the introductory Sue just curled my nose-hairs. If she was just a daughter of the Immortal Macbeth, I could have reconciled: Mac had a fling during the early 70's, had to leave in a hurry due to the immortal struggle with his adversary Demona, she tracks him down, bada-bing.
But she's also the daughter of Titania (sp?) Queen of the Fae... who canonically is also the mother of Janine Renard, later Fox Xanatos. And that the two-half sisters have a history is just too much to be believable.
Is letting one Sue live worth it to preserve an otherwhise great piece of fanfic? (or vice-versa?)

The Magicians Guild
Fandom: Black Magician Trilogy (apparently)
Summary: Sekka has been accepted into the Guild, but as war begins to brew in Sachakan, along with Vanir trying to stop him at every turn, can he survive long enough to pass his exams?
I find myself seriously hoping this is a troll. World warping, severe Stuishness on the part of the OC, and it seems to be a crossover with LotR, Death Note, Harry Potter, Ouran, Naruto and Final Fantasy (judging by author's notes), with an application test that seems to be tweaked from Eragon and includes things that no potential Novice should be able to do (because they aren't taught to unlock their power until they are in a situation with an trained Magician who can immediately teach them to control it).
Gothic Portal
Fandom: Harry Potter
Summary: Sixth year. There are a group of new students, and they're all Goths, Emo's and Greebos!
Quote, courtesy of July who was brave enough to click on the link: '"Actually we're Goths." He said, folding his arms, "Where do you think the Death Eaters got the idea of black robes from?"' I'm hoping this is a troll as well (same author as the other)

Harry Potter and Saiyuki? Apart from the fact that there is no way these canons should ever be crossed because of extreme incompatibility. And no, damnit it, physical similarities in the form of green eyes and black hair does not a reincarnation make!

Although I noticed that Artic Blade had a mini-Agent that was a shapeshifter (not quite the same, I know, but still).
But yes, mini-Boarders are generally just teeny-weeny versions of the Boarders. AS I recall, there was one called Trolljie a while back. I never did find out what happened to it, but I'm assuming Trojie has it somewhere in readiness for when she needs minis. :P

My friend's a big fan of the books, and thinks that Edward is a Gary Stu, but Bella isn't. But then she also denies Harry Potter and Eragon's Stu-dom.
I think we need to focus more on the fanfic for this "fanfictional canon". There may be worse 'Sues than Bella coming in. Like..."Destinee Hope Cullen", Edward's twin sister, or something...

I'm notoriously slow, so it will probably be awhile until the next one, but thanks. ^_^
I really enjoy the idea behind crossovers, but people seem to miss the point, which is to figure out how to make it make sense and keep everyone involved in character. It is sad.
