Happy B'Day! I give you several Nice Shiny Daggers, courtesy of Galadriel, a chocolate muffin, a kitten and a dartboard. Yes, those are Suepics on the face. Have at it!

To each their own. I certainly don't blame you for feeling guilty, though I wish you could stick around anyway. Still, 'tis up to you.

There are a number of characters I can completely agree are Suvian - but I don't let that bother me. (Doublethink, much?)
Honor Harrington, for instance. I sometimes say that she overcomes Sueness by excessive application of the Rule of Awesome, but that's not really the case. After all, one of the contributors to Suvianity is being awesome.
And to top that off, I couldn't even begin to tell you why I like Sue!Honor but not, for instance, the protagonist of the Truth series by Dawn Cook - a series I put down sometime in the third book specifically because I didn't like how Suvian she was becoming.
So, to conclude, while you're probably right about the list being a bad idea and feelings getting hurt, it's by no means inevitable.

It's been fun times, and I'm sure you will be greatly missed. I'll certainly miss you.

Bye bye, and I hope you do well with everything you want to achieve.

Have a Redeemer and a flak cannon. Long ranged thermonuclear destruction teamed with close range gut-shredding shrapnel rounds. What better?
Oh, and here's some bleepolate iced birthday cake as well.

Ah, but that's where miracles come in. Or, if you prefer, miracles masquerading as microevolution.
I'd tend to suspect that the horse was based on Methuselah's name anyway, if only because of the excessive similarity between them. And, after all, living 969 years is an impressive enough accomplishment that the name's crept out into our culture. The Wikipedia article has the following under "see also:"
# Back to Methuselah, a set of plays by George Bernard Shaw
# Methuselah Mouse Prize
# Methuselah (tree)
# "Requiem for Methuselah", an episode of Star Trek
# 2000 Year Old Man, a recurring Methuselah comedy routine by Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks.
# Methuselah's Children, a work of fiction by Robert A. Heinlein about long lived humans as a result of genetic selection.
# The Methuselah Factor, a book by Vernon Eric Bridges, a far-fetched story of longevity.
Might you be familiar with any of those?

Hi.
As much as I loved the PPC and chatting and writing and reading, I'm afraid I'm leaving.
Some of it's due to lack of time and energy, but part of it's on how... well, mean the PPC can be when looked at without the MarySue hate. I kind of... I dunno, feel guilty? :/ Does that make sense? Feeling guilty for being nasty to a person's character because it happens to fit the type of character I hate?
Err... I can't unpublish the GoogleDoc so I would greatly appreciate it if the links were erased?
And... that's pretty much it.
It was fun.
Thanks.

I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about, Kit, no sir. Not me. I don't have any crazy cooking experiments that will turn the whole OFU on it's head planned, not at all. How could you even suggest such a thing?

This might be an odd question, but has anyone here played Killer 7? It's a pretty trippy fps game for the PS2 and Game cube that came out a few years ago. It's about a group of assassins with such a weird story that you might as well look it up on Wikipedia.
Anyways, the game was used in one of the best cross-over fics I've ever read. So here you go!

I tend to assume that fanfic writers are female ... by

... but for some reason I assumed that TS's author was male (which I apologise to her for even if I won't apologise for anything else). Possibly because about 75% of furries are gay men and that overrode the "90% of fanfic writers are girls" thing in my brain.

But what about the fangirls? by

I don't think THEY would have enough self restraint to not glomp. And I think the theory was that a fangirl created the multiverse's first (serious) Mary Sue.

I was worried because s/he/it/they spammed one of the kids with copies of The Cluny Fic, but I don't think this is whatsername's style. She apparently responded to crit/flames/something less-than-favourable being said by being coldly bitchy in the author's notes of a newer fic. (Much as the woman scares me, I do approve thoroughly of responding to someone telling you not to write something by writing more of it. It's fun.)

Nerve cells sound kind of toughÂ… by

So I guess it'd depend on how hard the nerve was tugged and what damage it had sustained in getting to it (I'm presuming it was singled out). I'm not absolutely certain, though, I'm afraid.

The tendency seems to be for people who've been sporked to come yell at the sporkers directly (or yell about them on anony-memes), so I don't think it's too likely.

OT: Just finished Making Money... by

And I loved it!
More of the Moist/Adora relationship, another look into the civic institutions of A-M, And it even gave Slant and the Fools' Guild a bit of humanity.
(though if it really is an exploration of the tragic/philisophical elements of foolery or just a cynical attempt to justify the Guild's rote-learning cirriculum I don't know)
And is it just me, or did the Cabinet of Curiosity give anyone else a Michael Bay's TRANSFORMERS feel to it, ala the Allspark?
Therefore, and on the news that Moist has admitted his past malfeances and in a way set himself free, I'm going to begin planning to write his Abridged Autobiography in Fanfic form.
Title: "The Leopard Changed it's Shorts" (compaint lodged by the Ankh Morpork League of Decency for use of the word 'Shorts')
(prologue occurs after coming back from Ador's funeral where he very classily dissoved into a blubbering mess 3/4 of the way through.
Contents include:
-Early Life
-Years as con
-Getting "Bes-Palargic'ed" into the civil service
- Adora (with appropiately sappy description of the beautific look that she only had when asleep or when cradling their son when she thought he wasn't looking.)
-Going un-crooked
-The Seige of Ankh (The League petitioned to have the chapter's pages glued shut for reference to Miss Malacariat discovering Moist and his fiance engaged in... "Hanky-Panky" on the PostMaster's Desk during a city emergency)
-His wedding (with notes on annoying offical guests and knowing how to placate angry soon-to-be father's-in-law when you have the honeymoon three months early)
-Fatherhood and raising a son with two middle names.
-His Patrician-ship
-His retirement back to the post office after 20 years.
-An epilogue written in the week between his wife's death and it finally going to print at the age of 86.
He died the next evening after suffering a blowout of the aorta on his last mail-circuit and had to go back to his own bed as a temporary zombie operating on full manual. Is giving up the ghost in ones' own bed too much to ask?
I hope others like the book, and can council me on how to proceed on this fic... eventually.
