For a crime this heinous, we should come up with an equally painful finish.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Canon has suffered enough. So, let the Canon be the one to inflict the punishment.
Firstly, we have a Chosen!Sue. For this, the Sue must be made to face another Chosen One. I'm voting for Harry Potter, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer myself. After this punishment, we go onto the next punishment!
As a Timetravel!Sue, we let Time itself hurt her. I'm sure Father Time and assortment of other Time Deities would each like to 'Bless' her with their own Gifts, ala Pandora's Box style. I.e.: I Curse you with wrinkles, with aging badly, etc. Upon hitting seven Blessings, we whisk her off to the final punishment!
For being an Angst!Sue, we get our arms and elbows REALLY dirty. I'm sure many of us here would remember Tara? The imfamous Harry Potter Sue who not only angst'd in general, but had 'Blue eyes brimming with limpid tears'? Well, I know Tara is probably still Angsting about Harry ad Draco, ahem, sorry, Vampire and Draco not getting together, so we place this Sue in with Tara and wait until she is Angsted to the death!
Or, if that takes too long, we can throw her in with the Ypurs...
Anywho, that's my idea. But don't make it quick, we must make her suffer. Suffer I say!
Would now be a bad time to say I've never read the book?

it's actually a TV programme. If it were a fanfic, I don't know whether people would be showing so much animosity towards it, but since it's actually on TV... yeah.

Yeah, that makes sense. If they'd released it in real stores, Mum would have bought it, I think.
You know, it's strange. Just last night, we were discussing when the movie would come out, having seen the trailer a while ago. So, now I have an answer. Yay!

It wasn't due out until the seventh, but a bunch of bookstores and Amazon all released it a week early.
I think they had some issues with production or something. But the official trailer says January.

...trying to bring the Ypurs they captured into the room. Deciding not to interfere with their work, he went into a random side corridor, and saw another pack. Using one of his extra nets, he caught them all. After finding the portal again, he then left. Two heavy catches ought to be enough to earn enough money to the Smut Carver Victim's fund, he tought.

Some details, for once by

Whatever the power that plucked the strange figures out of the womb of creation, it now gave the nameless figures some description, though both were still hopelessly generic, and only if you knew the subject matter-one could be described only as an Inquisitor-male human, late twenties. The other, a Sister of Battle-female human, mid twenties, ritual scars on her face. The male steps forwards and speaks with a distinct drawl.
"We are without name, for our creator has given us none. For now, you may simply call me Inquisitor, and my companion Sister. She cannot speak, for our creator has yet to decide on her syntax and accent. We are, of course, well armed, but we will consent to use our neuro shredders in this case-weapons that disrupt the electrical activity in the brain, allowing for lethal or nonlethal incapacitance as deemed necessary."

I was thinking that most Sues had devastating powers (mine included). I still have some Sues in my fics, but they don't show off their powers and I have slight reasoning for their mega-powers. At the moments when they most need them, something cancels out their advantage. Whether that is an enemy of the same strength (or worse, as is more usual) or just something that nullifies their magic or whatever it is.
But I haven't created a God!Sue for a long, long time, thank God. I've created a character who becomes a god when he dies but, like the Ancients in Stargate, is forbidden from helping the mortal plane. It annoys him to no end.

I haven't seen it around, but I'll look next time I go in to a book shop. I'm slightly surprised about the movie's release date, actually; the trailer was shown in early 2008. They must have pulled another HBP. (Stupid Twilight being shown instead...grr.)

Greater London tends to get its snow around February; last year we got some on Easter Sunday. But yes, I approve of this idea.

*laughs like a thing demented* I knew it.
Now that I've got that out of my system, ah, hi! *waves* Here, have a- um- *digs through pile of stuff* -a katamari! It seems vaguely appropriate. (Plus, always useful if the King goes on another bender.)
Actually, I would have treated it as Bad Slash, or… worked something out for Bad Parody, actually. Moot point, though, since I don't intend to take it (got a couple others, and… not sure about taking fics that I know the MSTs of anyway)- so I figure, go for it, once you've got permission and all.
And I see you have seen the MST! Awesome. We're… not 'round kingdomspork so much, though, these days- there was a problem with spam a while back, and we couldn't get in touch with the mod (pretty sure modship and so forth couldn't be transferred, either)- so most folks are at heartlessfics, and Lynx and Tegu's sporkings are at snakesonasora.
… We have a hivemind? Why does no one tell me these things.
Anyway. Hi, and welcome! (And Floaters has its advantages and disadvantages, too. *grin*)

Nat groaned. "Cass, why don't you carry spares?" She wasn't too concerned, having recognised Five of Seven as a Trekverse agent, though she wasn't sure what to make of Omicron. She called after the retreating Dalek, "We just sent someone off to lure a bunch to the cafeteria. If you want to go give him a hand, you can, but there aren't any more around here."
Meanwhile, Cassie had been squinting at the featureless people who were approaching until she heard Nat ask if about spare glasses. She rummaged through her bag of holding, which she never went anywhere without these days, and came up with a spectacles case triumphantly. "Ha! Got some!" She put them on and looked around at the group - three human agents, two Trekverse agents, a Dalek of some sort, and a couple of figures whose species was unknown. "So? Who wants to do the introductions here?"
