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.

I'll read it as soon as possible after it's been sent, and beta/offer ideas as appropriate.

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.

Anti-Lustin baloons for everyone!

...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.

*Gifts with a multicoloured Ypur camoflauged as a Hat Stand, a right-handed Polar Bear, a tamed computer virus that can sit, shake, roll over and create wanton destruction and a small Venus Fly-Trap called Steve.*

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.

Okay, since she knows it's false, then I've gained a bit more respect for her.

I mean, ignoring those who are gay, some men just don't want marriage or even female companionship.

but they've blocked LJ, as well as The Pit. So I never know what's blocked and what isn't. :P

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.

*gifts with a case of throwing knives, a bottle of rum, and a small furry animal. Which may very possibly explode if you poke it, but no-one's quite sure*

No idea what you'll use any o'those for, but I'm sure they'll come in handy. *grins*

*throws confetti and offers party poppers and streamers to anyone close enough to have things offers to them*

*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*)

*cracks open the champagne* Three cheers for Dann!

*gifts with an extra large bag of pebbles, a customised sling and a basket of Bleeprin-berries*

Hope these come in handy! Now where did I put that stereo...?

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?"

Happy 21st Birthday to our favorite techy dude.

*does not 'gift' with rabies*

[[Tawaki, Winter, I've no idea what's going on with either of you, so hopefully this section will allow all four of us to merge plot threads fairly well.]]

Sedri blinked at the two. "You were serious?" she asked Nat. "About the glasses? A whole herd of ypur just ran through here - you don't actually expect them to be more than powder by now... do you?"

Iza's eyes lit up. "Ooo, Sedri, maybe she enchanted them! You know, with a wand like those Potterverse people-"

She never finished. The featureless figures were approaching; calm and silent, like bit characters without the presence of a Sue. Iza's brow wrinkled (nicely matching her Bajoran nose) and she backed up as Cassie, still half blind, caught sight of them.

"Is that a... Dalek?"


[[Yes, short; sorry. I don't like writing other peoples' agents - I'm always cautious of sending them horribly OOC. I think any one of you three can pick it up here...]]

Something that sees a lot of traffic. Heathrow Airport, perhaps? During the Christmas holidays? When there's so much snow that no one will see our agents until it's too late?

That is, when I have the basic plot written up, as well as the characters. And feel free to be absolutely and brutally honest. And I honestly mean that. I can't improve unless I know where I'm going wrong.

Essentially it's a Sue who has Godlike, or very extreme powers. AN example of this is Robecca, the Mary-Sue who 'created' Narnia with her Cute Animal Friend 'Aslan'. Essentially, the difference is the level of power. WHile Mary-Sues do often have world destroying powers, they tend to keep these 'Quiet', showing them off when they need to. And these powers tend to be very mystical, with no solid basis for their power source. I.e.: Mary-Sue who can destroy the world by falling in love. There's no reason to it, and we have no reason why it would destroy the world.

God!Sues on the other hand have very blatant powers that they show off very regularly. Whats worse is that they tend to have a reason to their power, which is usually 'They're a God, duh!'. The God!Sue is usually specifically named to be a God, like that Horse Goddess Sue that was recently dealt with.

Very nice! The US one made me laugh, especially since most of the stuff in there remains depressingly true...ah, well. Hope there's another one coming soon!
