OMG. Someone else familiar with ToS. *glee* Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm being overloaded with praise. @_@ And yes, the Samuel vs. Kratos thing was interesting. I'm attributing it partially to Kratos holding back a little thanks to the presence of the group, and partially to Samuel's skills. He's good with a sword. Can't handle other weapons worth beans, though.

I like either idea, though for now I think we should stick to your fictional site idea. Yeah though, it'd be fun to write scripts, maybe we could eventually make the "real" site and post them, or just make a channel for it on Youtube and put the clips there.

About less than a day to Lake-Town, and then maybe spend the night there, starting for Dale the next morning...

Thanks!

I just meant it to be a fictional site accessible only via the Canon Protection Initiative dimensions, but if anyone's crazy and good enough with programming to try to set it up, I'm sure it'd be welcome.

Would be fun to write scripts for clips.

Sorry, my mistake, must've let myself get a bit too excited. In that case it'd work much more easily though, I don't see why it couldn't work. And yeah, if we wanted we could make a Youtbe channel.

My favourite bit was the impromptu trial caused by a typo, myself, due to the hilarity of the mental image, but the whole thing was excellent. I especially liked how the characters started to snap back to IC when the Sue died and it was only the neuralyzer that saved Katrina from being in a world of trouble. Samuel holding his own in a fight against Kratos was odd, but interesting, I hope we'll be seeing more of him. Overall though, it was an excellently written mission. I only hope my first can be half as good as this one. Excellent job, again.

The Department of Bad Slash counts it as a charge, unless it's canonical. Think about it; incest is considered taboo in most cultures. It's also illegal in most places (up to a point; technically having it off with your first cousin is incest and that is legal). And if offspring occur, it's geneticallly unwise (although that's not *usually* a problem we have in Bad Slash ... although mpreg does seem to be on the rise ... *cowers in fear of Rule 34*).

Very nice! I don't know the fandom at all, but still managed to understand most of the details - well done!

I particularly like this bit:

"If you would kindly refrain from excessive use of italics?"
"No"

For some reason, that part made me laugh most of all. Thanks, and congratulations!

Assuming you follow the river (which in the days before SatNav and tarmac roads is the only way to be sure you get there) it's thirty miles or so from the Halls to Esgaroth-on-the-Long-Lake. Apparently a horse's trotting speed is 5-10 mph, which means that's a day's travel or a little less (accounting for terrain, trees, escort, anything you're bringing with you, random spider attacks, and lunch). From Esgaroth, it's then another thirty miles to Dale. Pushing your horse, and/or switching horses at Esgaroth, it's just conceivable you could make the trip in a day. But that's not advisable, and you'd probably make your horse very unhappy. Remember it gets rocky up around Dale, too.

If I had my atlas I could tell you how long the Esgaroth-Dale trip took on ponies. But I don't. Sad.

The first half deals with the ridiculous story and its many offenses. The second half deals with the charging and killing of the perpetrators of said offenses, which doesn't really go very well. I'm posting it shortly after I get it back from Artic Blade, so you'll see what I mean. {= )

I've heard of Tales through friends, so some of the names were familiar, but that's about it. ^_^;

The Sound of Silence by zakai_

Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Type: Divergence (after Barry the Chopper), and a tiny bit AU
Main Characters: Edward Elric, Roy Mustang
Rating: NC17
Warnings: angst, dark, deals with the issue of child abuse, language, underage sex
Summary: Some secrets aren’t meant to be kept.

This is NOT a fluffy, cute fic. Go somewhere else for that. However, it is very well written and deals with the issue of prolonged sexual abuse in a far more realistic manner than 99% of fandom does, even the ones where the canon is about abuse. Even if you aren't a particularly active member of the FMA fandom, I recommend this fic.

Maybe, if enough people agree, this could be added to the Legendary Goodfic list.

No, actually. If I remember correctly (and Lord knows I tried not to), the story involved the Disney princesses, all of 'em, traveling to Japan and getting attacked by a tentacle monster.

Basically, there are people out there who want to literally rape your childhood. I think I'll decline the Disney fics unless they are at, or above, this level of disturbing. I may have my plate full for a while, especially if I decide to take on "Agony in Pink"...shudder. Thank you, though.

That was highly enjoyable, although I'm sure that some of it was lost on me, being that I've no knowledge of the fandom whatsoever, haha. Still, I didn't find it too much of an ordeal in length, I thought it was a goodly size. Enough to get your teeth into without dragging.

I very much liked the ending, and I'm anticipating your next mission with eagerness.

Wow... thirty pages? Really? x.X Was it a monster of a fic, or just really, really detailed?

I've resigned myself to the fact that almost no one I know is familiar with the Tales series. At least it's readable even if you don't know them, which is good. That's what I was aiming for. ^_^

Hehe, looks like even two people can't catch everything. Thanks for that. :) I have no idea about the past tense of portal; I did the best I could with half-remembered spelling rules from 5th and 6th grade. I didn't double the 'l' because the emphasis was on the first syllable, as opposed to something like 'occurred.' I could, however, be completely off my rocker.

Nothing wrong with long missions. More to read!

Don't know the fandom, sadly, but still entertaining.

since, IIRC, the main incest pairing wasn't incest when most of the fandom started writing it.

Good luck! And welcome to the Board!

I didn't know we could actually make one. If we wanted to do that we could just set up a channel or something on the real YouTube, it'd be simpler.

Let me guess, Is the tentacle porn in the Pirates of the Carribiean fandom, or in Lilo and Stich (The Animated Series)?

PS: If you're interested, I can give you a few Disney fics (Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Hannah Montana, mostly) to enrich your sporking menu. I hope you reply!

Spotted a missing question mark, here:
“What kind,” Samuel elaborated patiently.

Also noticed you've written "portaled", with just one L - is that a legitimate American spelling? Never seen it that way before. I'd complain that it's curtsey, not curtsy, but some of the online dictionaries are backing you up on that one.

She followed him though in short order. - missing an R in "through".

I have no idea about the canon, but still, an enjoyable first mission.

That was quite enjoyable, even though I don't really know the continuum. Samuel is intriguing. I shall follow him and Katrina with great interest.

As to length, my latest got onto its thirtieth page in OpenOffice before it was done. It happens. ^_^;

Thanks for the advice. Though I haven't started yet, I intend to focus on the Heroes fandom in part, and, well, there's a significant chance I'll run across this particular taboo sooner or later.

How long would it take for someone to ride a horse at a trot from Thranduil's halls to Lake-Town or Dale?
I'm asking this because it's for a fanfic I'm doing, and I was thinking it might take less than a day. But that might rub some people (*coughDOGAcough*) the wrong way.
So...just asking.

It depends on the canon, the characters involved, and how well-written the story is. What the fandom thinks has nothing to do with it. As you said, incest in Tolkien is pretty much always a charge, particularly if Elves are involved, because that's how Middle-earth works. Incest between Tolkien's characters would also pretty much always be a charge because of their society and personalities--same with the Weasley twins in Harry Potter.

If you've got a canon or characters with which incest might not be such a strong taboo as it is in our culture, and if the story is well-written in all other respects, then you might let it slide. I'd lay money that doesn't happen very often, though.

Full speed ahead, I say! The only personal problem is that I don't know how to make videos. Whatever...
Maybe we can post footage of Truth and Dare games? x]
