I mean, how often do you get to burn down a giant talking tree?

Er. About the village... uh... surely there's someone who can do fire control.

Or you could transport it elsewhere before burning it? But how to move the Deku Tree... that could get messy.

I suppose Samuel and Kat will want to help - they technically do exist now, even if they're completely lacking in wiki pages and writing other than my one tiny interlude.

dracorn_adagio is writing a piece of original fic for me. :]
Tell me when you get Liadan's description! Shall I make the three pose, or shall I make it candid?

If you need it, that is - looks like there's plenty of people willing to help out. =) I think I'm familiar with most of the continua your story uses, so... yeah. I procrastinate a lot, though, so watch out for that. x.X I'm steelwingedvictory@hotmail.com, if you decide to take advantage of me.

...not in that way. Why do I have a dirty mind?

Awesome, thanks Lily.If I could draw, I'd do an exchange, but my stick men gt made fun of by other stick men...
I currently have three Agents, Arti, Lunac and Liadan. Lunac and Arti have very basic descriptions on the Wiki, but I can provide more info if you need it.
Liadan, on the other hand, will have to be created. Hmm... I'll get back to you!

The Harry Potter part won't come up for a while yet, I need to go through two other worlds first (Charmed / Buffy crossover world and High School Musical) before we get to Hogwarts, but hopefully that won't take long. If you want, I can send along the background notes specifically for Hogwarts, they differ from the ones I sent before.

I'll talk later though. Thanks Lynxihez!

It's mostly proofreading that I need. The continua you'd need to worry about right now would be Pokemon, Legend of Zelda, Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy X, with minor parts of Digimon, Charmed and Buffy the Vampire Slayer thrown in. There are background notes too, so I'll send them along. Thanks Kgarrett!

Moving it to Unclaimed Badfic then, thanks for the find. LOTR festival = Middle Earth portal? That's so stupid it almost becomes funny.

Are you just reporting this one, or claiming it? So I know what wiki page to put it under.

1. I am not allowed to adopt Canon Characters who have died in the Canon (like Boromir, Halbarad, etc).
   -Even if I promise to feed them and water them and generally love them.
   844. I shall not write PPC badfic involving Lori Starrett from DMSE&R making out with anyone other than her husband Bill Fallis.
   -Especially not Legolas.
   845. I shall not comment on certain people's (lack of) drawing skills
   -Or singing abilities.
   -Or dancing talents.
   846. I am not allowed to attempt murder in HQ with a scalpel.
   -Or a pair of scissors.
   -Or a stapler.
   -And the victim must not be my partner.
   -Or any of the Flowers.
   -Or the Uncommon Comma.
   847. I am not allowed to run around throwing Sue guts in the air and singing loud, obnoxious songs.
   848. I am not allowed to leave aphrodisiacs lying around.
   849. I shall not attempt to scientifically classify everything in HQ, nor shall I call everything by their scientific names.

Agents Eledhwen and Christianne wish they could bring their minis to contribute, but they're ready to roast marshmallows and sing "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt".

And if you're desperate for more than just those in the Action Departments, Lori and Bill are also interested.

1. My partner and I are not allowed to spontaneously launch into "Confrontation" from Les Misérables over the Sue's corpse.
   -No, not even if we're both good singers.
   -And especially not if the Sue actually has a child we intend to bring to the Nursery.

Not too familiar with some of those continua, but decent enough with them. I can give it a try if you want, though I'd probably be better at proofreading than canon knowledge. Email is kgarrett@operamail.com if you're interested.

I'll help with the HP part. I, er, kinda haven't betaed before and I'm not that hot on ideas, but I'd be willing to correct any grammatical and spelling errors you might have missed. I'll also britpick if need be.

What can I say, I love the idea. :P

Welcome! Bleepolate is the nicer option to Bleepka, especially if you don't care for headaches and the like. Good to meet someone new, and please ignore the marbles rattling around!

I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to be a Beta Reader for me? Not many people know much about it, the biggest attention was the list of weapons everyone supplied for me.
But anyways, the story is an epic crossover, dealing with a variety of continua ranging from Harry Potter to Pokemon.
The current parts written does deal with a few of these, but I have written background notes if you need them.

It would be great to get two, or even three Beta Readers, but if not, I'll go for the more likely one, if anyone is interested. Thanks everyone!

1. Do not let Ayasegawa Yumichika and Suoh Tamaki meet, lest the multiverse implode from their combined vanity.

1. Despite the similarities in appearance, voice, speech patterns, fabulousness (yes, that is a word now) and slashability, Ayasegawa Yumichika is not the reborn-in-Soul-Society version of Lelouch vi Britannia/Lamperouge/Zero/99th Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire (or whatever other alias/title he may assume) and I should refrain from telling him that he is
   -Seriously, we don't need Yumichika trying to gain the Power of Kings
   -Likewise, I shouldn't insinuate to Lelouch that he is in any way related to Yumichika.
   -Dumping them in the same room is definitely out of the question

If we use North America as a model, I would expect to see:

In the coastal and low-lying regions of Lammoth and Nevrast, there will be a mix of maples, oaks, spruce, and firs, with the occasional beech and cedar. The further north one gets (or higher elevation), the firs will become more and more prominent. However, once one crests the Ered Lomin, the firs will quickly give way to pine.

I suspect you're thinking of aspen, rather than birch - while there are oddball species that prefer it the other way around, most aspens are high-altitude trees, while birches tend towards lowlands.

I'm not sure where the tradeoff between pine and aspen happens - I remember that some areas of western Colorado (especially around Grand Junction) are very heavily forested with aspen, but that's a good six hundred miles from the nearest ocean, and across multiple rather high mountain ranges. Just by looking at the map of Beleriand in my Silm, I would guess that Nuath would have either a pine/fir mix, if the weather came up along the ered wethrin from south of mount Taras (a long trip, but no mountain ranges in the way to pull out most of the rain), or it would have a pine/aspen mix, if the weather came down from the firth of Drengist (and thus over some serious mountains).

Considering that a large amount of the water in the Sirion comes from Dorthonion and Ered Wethrin, I would suspect it's the former - that's a lot of water to go up and over the mountains. Also, the size of the Gelion up north suggests that the March of Maedhros gets a decent amount of water. It would make sense to me, anyways, if all of Beleriand's weather came from the southwest, from the sea.

Or, I could be all wet. The Columbia river is huge, and its watershed is on the far side of the Cascade mountains (and the Olympics) from the ocean. Personally, though, I'd take that to mean that Hithlum should probably have a fairly big river for drainage.

*thanks the admin*

It's a Character Replacement. The Deku Tree, coupled with the power of the Forest Temple, would be enough to prevent the forest from burning. Additionally, while we do have Pyromaniacs in the PPC, they would have enough sense to put down wards and things.
Plus, the shape and size of the Character Replacement means the Agents themselves would be burnt if they directly set it on fire. It'd be much better to chop down the tree first, which also gives enjoyment on the hacking and chopping level.

You burn it, you set the whole Lost Wood and Kokiri Village on fire, killing the tree. Unless you like doing Ganon's work him, don't burn it. Just get exorcise it; it'll be tougher, but you won't burn the whole forest down. Or kill the Kokiri. Or the Skull Kid.

Would I really spam any Board for no reason at all and nom upon people? Naaah.

I'm working on a fanfic (well, more accurately, resurrecting one long-postponed), in which the Woods of Nuath feature (they're the woods on the southern side of the Ered Wethrin between the sources of Nenning and Narog; near the pools of Ivrin).

Now, being as I am an Australian, my knowledge of northern hemisphere botany is sketchy at best. I know several of the tree names and so on, but have very little idea what grows where. So, the question is: any ideas on what might be plausible types of tree to grow in the area.

Doriath, across the Sirion, is described as having beech forests (and methinks Brethil, which is closer to Nuath, might also have beech). But Nuath would be further north and (presumably) higher elevation than either of these, lying as it does on the borders of a mountain range.

I have a vague half-remembered inkling about birch and linden being higher-elevation species - or is this completely wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Elcalion, botanically curious
