The scenary they were using reminded me of 'The Sound of Music'. I half expected Julie Andrews to wander out, singing 'The Hills Are Alive' while Saphira and Eragon look at her with the WTF-Look on their faces.

Did I get 'him? Did I get 'im? No? Drat. Someone fetch my trollspray!
And what's a lulzcow? Is it the feminine version of the Ypur?

Much older. They were published in 1968, and Australian copyright lasts for 50 years, unless special extensions are made. 50 years after the death of the author, that is.

In which case, this just adds another bad point to the crime. Unless he gained permission from Le Guin herself, he could eaisly be sued for it. Chances are that no-one else has made the connection, or Le Guin refuses to read the books.
Now that gives me a humerous mental picture of all the best Fantasy Authors sitting in a circle, discussing this and that. They look at the cover of 'Eragon', and decide to throw it in the fire. They all have British accents for some reason, though not all of them are British.

The true tea drinker will always let it accumulate. Washing it out washes away the flavour! Next time you wash your tea mug, wash the outside, and wash around the rim inside, about where you fill it up to (there should be a handy line of scum for guidance). The repeated boiling water will kill any germs, and after a few weeks, you'll be horrifed by seeing what your intestines must look like.

A young man leans against the wall, arms folded. He's wearing a black eye-mask, a long black trench/frock-coat, high black leather boots, black trousers, a dark red waistcoat and a white frilly shirt, the lace cuffs of which fall over his hands. He's also grinning in a rather worrying manner.

...damnit damnit damnit.

I shall bug my dad in the week after this Sunday, 'cos that's when I'll be free. Maybe. Possibly.

Oh, and it's okay if I replace all the swearwords with British counterparts, right? 'Cos Dad is helping out with the recordings and suchlike and he probably won't be thrilled to hear me yelling about killing things, never mind screeching "FUUUUUCK!!!" at the top of my lungs. (The indestructible centaur will probably just baffle him, though. xD)

I've got a few samples already from deleterius, and I'm set for this mission.


But I'd love references to badfics for future missions. Send them in! :)

...all you need to do is ask! I'm sure plenty of Agents- or at least mine- would be willing to donate a sample or two.

... her nose briefly wrinkling at the papery decor. She ignored it, smoothing her hands down the fabric of her blue dress. Most of the fabric was pulled to gather at the small of her back, where it billowed out dramatically, beautifully, save that it also acted as a dry mop for the dusty floor. Noticing this, she sighed.

"Ah, well," she muttered. "Can clean it later."

Making her way to the centre table, Madame Meru stumbled over a very small pumpkin and proceeded to kick it aside with a scowl. Reaching her goal, she took up a glass of water - yes, water, for now - and looked at her companions over the rim of her thin glasses. "May I presume that we will be guessing one another's identities at the end of this... 'party'?"

Hiro twitched at the waist - the amputated stump of a reflexive Japanese bow rearing its head.

"Hiro Protagonist," he said with a smile. "Last of the freelance hackers and greatest swordfighter in the world."

Hiro looked down at the finger on his chest, and then back at Sheryl's face, smiling faintly.

"I'm afraid I'm already spoken for," he said. "My apologies."

A young girl in a red dress sneaks into the party. Her wine-red dress has a flower rosette on one shoulder and small dots of...some glitter-like substance lining the hem. She wears a brown leather belt that looks a bit like a corset.
The girl also has a mask on. It is brown, with peacock and eagle feathers trimming it. She is wearing a little makeup and her black hair is actually combed for once, and done up with a barette.
"I know I look a little Sue-ish right now, but I don't have anything else in the closet right about now," she mutters to anyone who stares at her as she makes her way to the table of bleep drinks, tripping over random pumpkins.

I've got all my samples from hunting around on deleterius. Well...some samples. To get samples from all the types of Mary Sues out there would probably take a lifetime.

Maybe we can test her own made up spell on her...under the investigative question "What are the results of Sue-created spells?"

So far, all I know is that Frogicus Explodicus, mentioned in a HP Mary Sue parody of mine, turns things into cats with queasy stomachs.

Sheryl looked up at the newcomer, cool eyes assessing him as a smile graced her lips. Pushing off from the wall she sauntered over to him.

"Hi, I don't believe I've seen you around before," Sheryl purred, running a finger down his chest. "What's your name, big boy?" She had a sort-of boyfriend, but he wasn't there and she wasn't with him as such, and no one said she couldn't flirt.

We don't all have to agree, but there's no call to be rude about it, much less nasty. And that's not just a courtesy; it's in the Board Constitution - first rule, in fact.

If you have good reason for what you say, then say it, in full, without insulting anyone. Copious use of the phrases "I think" and "my opinion" would help. I cannot imagine why you don't sympathise with Laburnum on this matter, but I want to understand people, so if there's a reason, I'm willing to listen. If it's sensible.

If not, don't say anything at all. In case you haven't noticed, people around here tend to stick together; if you insist on setting yourself apart, you're not unlikely to end up with most of the Board against you, and no one wants that to happen.

Please. No one's demanding an apology or banning your opinions, but a potentially rude one-line post on a fairly sensitive subject is just a bad idea.

A young man of indeterminate origin enters the room, and leans on a wall a ways away from Sheryl. His face is somewhat asian, but very dark. He wears a black T-shirt with "Cosa Nostra Pizza" printed on the back, and black jeans almost hiding a pair of boots. A katana, in its sheath, is strapped to his hip.

I have a sore throat and a blocked nose, so if any of those agents are particularly ill... Nesh has first call, though.

My main Agents have retired, anyway (although not necessarily is that written yet...), so yours would be ideal for it. Go for it!

hS

I see dead trees. Everyday. At school, at home,in the printer. Sometimes the bodies are used more then once. O.O

Enjoy the creepiness.

I can do female characters, obviously, and I can probably manage androgynous people or younger/high-voiced males. I have some kind of throat infection right now, so if you need anyone sounding a bit husky, sign me up while it lasts. ^_~

Shame.

Will ask him when I next see him.

And BTW, Fichunter; tell your buddies that "anonymous" isn't necessarily as anonymous as you think, and that should something like the incident I was talking about happen again (or if my name shows up on Encyclopedia Dramatica or similar sites - I do not care if it's "satire", I could still make a harassment and/or libel case out of it) I will not hesitate to press charges on every person involved. "It's just for the lulz" has the same meaning as Randal Milholland's translation of "the end justifies the means": that is, I quote, "the cowards' way of saying 'I know it's wrong but I did it anyway and I don't want to face the consequences.'"

Just let me know.

I think Techno-Dann's the one to ask that question to.
