However, I will argue that that particular AU has been eradicated because of the change of events (namely, NY not getting blasted to smithereens), and therefore Hinder'd still be a good character to recruit - perhaps there's a Department of Medical Development and Sue Experimentation or something? I seem to remember one of those existing...

Just checking-something like that does not possibly sound like it's drawback-free.

Specifically, that Hinder'd be a perfect candidate for medical.

Item 1: he has not been revealed to have any medical training. As I shouted at the screen several times in late Season 1, he's a professor of genetics. That is a somewhat different thing.

Item 2: In the early part of Season 3, he has demonstrated a dangerous recklessness and disregard for, among other things, proper procedures and common sense, as well as an unwillingness to listen to good advice. What the specific consequences of this will be, other than what may be a calcium deficiency, remain to be seen.

Also, it's somewhat iffy to say that it's a long-running AU, considering that it was in effect from Seven Minutes to Midnight to How to Stop An Exploding Man - a present!canon time of only a few weeks. For that matter, we only saw one episode containing it.

I'd also not say that the first Season 3 future - the one the present Future!Peter is from - is drastically different. It may be, but the scene we saw of it could fit very easily into a reasonable extrapolation thereof. The second future we saw - an unknown "distance" away - probably is, but... I dunno. Timelines in Heroes don't seem to be very solid.

I wouldn't object as much to Hana showing up, mainly because she is qualified for the position you specify.

Thanks for trying, anyway.

A little dark backstory included. Hope you enjoy. More, funnier, installments will be forthcoming.

I don't have the resources to record my lines.

but if an Agent needs to just plain forget the last twenty-four hours, would it be possible for them to reproduce/procure some of Moe's 'Forget Me Shot'.

The ingredients are:
Jagermeister
Slow gin
Triple sec
Quadruple sec
gunk from a dog's eye
Absolut Pickle
the red stripe from Aquafresh toothpaste
venom from a Louisiana Lobotomor (butterfly, possibly Simpsons-verse native)

It is then stirred with a home pregnancy test until positive et voila, guaranteed loss of the last day's memories.

Looking at this thread, I'd like to add that we really shouldn't be looking for canon characters to add. It's one thing to speculate, hey, wouldn't it be interesting if so-and-so worked here, but as Dann said, that's not what we're really about. Please resist the temptation unless there are extremely compelling reasons to go ahead with it like Joss Whedon being evil.

Also, along the lines of AUs being different from their canonical counterparts, it might help if they go by a different name. There is precedent for that sort of thing, after all, and it distinguishes them as separate characters.

Much thanks.

And also, huzzah for fellow Onion enthusiasts. (Who doesn't love France? I suggest Canada for your next installment. Or, no, wait- Finland.)

That's absolutely fine -- in fact, it's better than fine. :P And there will be more episodes at some point... whenever I get bored enough to make one, I guess.

Remus/Sirius. Forget those kids who run around in the foreground, the UST says it all ...

To get Audacity to export a file as an MP3, you need to download http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&i=lame-mp3

then when you tell Audacity to make a file into an MP3, it will ask for that file; you tell it where you saved it, and bingo. As long as you don't move the file it will always know where to find it and will just do it for you when you click the option.

Failing that, save it as an .aup file (the standard save option) but when you email it to me, send the project_data folder that it makes *as well*. Without that folder my copy of Audacity won't open the .aup

Hope this helps!

I am having trubble saving my lines as mp3 files, or anyother file other than an audacity file. How do I do it?

If it's really obscure good writing, and fits into the story's patterns and prose, most people's eyes just gloss over it until they read about it somewhere else.
I myself didn't notice the drow comment in OFUM 'til I started reading R.A. Salvadore.

Probably paging Huinesoron, since 'twas he who created it...

I'd just like to ensure that it'd be all right to include a couple lines from the broadcast in the beginning of an upcoming mission.
Basically, I fell in love with the thing, and thought that due to the nice music and canon readings, it'd be a nice thing to play to soothe Agents in FicPsych.

Incidentally, I do hope there will be more episodes to come. ^-^

If we're going to stick to strictly AU characters, I would suggest Future!Mohinder from the Heroes episode Five Years Gone. It's an alternate universe after the first season finale (so, therefore, it's an alternate universe that's been running for five years, and is drastically different to the main canon - as revealed by Season Three's Futures being completely different to Season One's), and he is the President's Chief Medical Advisor. Plus, it is suggested in the episode that the battle between Future!Peter and Future!Sylar kills him due to the sheer amounts of energy released. So, he would be a perfect candidate for medical.

I would also suggest Future!Hana from the same AU, as she has the power to "intercept, generate and interpret electronic wireless transmissions" - with her mind. She's also an ex-Mossad agent, and killed in the AU. She would be perfect for Intel or DoSAT.

Partially because we all build off each other and changing things is confusing, but also because if I - and therefore, my agents - have made a mistake, they/we should have to face up to it rather than go back and erase it.

Hmm. I'll have to think about it.

Then you'll get several chapters of Ranma crying because realizing that he's a girl has apparently taken away all of his martial arts ability and emotional fortitude, despite the fact that Shampoo, Akane, and Ukyo are all female and rather accomplished martial artists.


If Ranma crying in a locker room because boys are looking at his naked body isn't a possession fic, I don't know what is.


Seriously now, every other female in the series, even minor ones, would beat the crap out of all the boys there, and he turns into a sobbing wreck?

I don't think the PPC can or should claim that it is beyond making mistakes. I thought we were about pointing out mistakes so they can be fixed. I guess that should also go for the mistakes we make ourselves.

I figured it would be something like that. Having canonicals running around in major roles would kind of throw things out of whack.

The additional Bourne books are so AU it's not even funny. Ask SealRat, she knows. Looks like everything's shipshape here. ^^

Which is:

'Author's note: Adolph Hitler and Jesus are both my original characters. They are copyrighted and you cannot use them without my permission.'

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only thing Adolf Hitler was owned by was the British.

Well, I know the names, but that ain't no possession fic. More like a crack!fic that was proudly brought to you by the letters 'WTF'.

The Sun Crusher won't be necessary-as I understand it, general PPC policy is to use canon weapons and technology whenever possible, and when it comes to methods of destroying things, WH40k takes a back seat to no one. If the destruction of entire non-canon star systems is necessary, I intend to lease two or three Blackstone Fortresses from Abbadon the Despoiler, Warmaster of Chaos-they can combine their energies to shatter stars, and they're powered by sacrificed souls, which should be plentiful.
