Um, it's here.

I can't seem to find a link to the other forum in question, here or on the wiki. Mind providing a link for newbs?

We're looking for a slightly different storyline to the usual "Sues invade" thing for the OFUR. I had the idea that we could bring in a dimensional rift which, instead of allowing Sues in, allows in something horrible from a fandom which does not have any fic or an OFU, therefore the characters and monsters do not know what's going on and behave exactly how they would in their canon, i.e. killing everything in sight. Would this work, or would it just confuse people who don't know the other fandom?

One of the participants is a gay guy and another is a girl, and I think he'd object to sharing the poor guy in the middle of the triangle with her even if he (the first guy) doesn't have to be involved with her personally. Shame.

A quick run-through of the Jane Austen section on The Pit yields horrible, horrible Mary-Sue, inclusing two Gary-Stu brothers who were invited to Lizzie and Darcy's wedding, or something.

I've saved a choice piece to practise MSTing on. It's Pride and Prejudice set in a modern High School. In Nevada. In it, Darcy is a wuss, every single female character (apart from Mary, because she's not TEH KEWLIES) could be replaced by generic!Sues, and Lizzie and Georgiana know each other from chapter two. Oh, and Wickham is a girl. We hates it, precious, we does...

to a love triangle is 'Why all three of them together of course'? Unless two members of the triangle are related to each other (and not the Hitachiin twins from Ouran).

Longer version: yes, leaving this one open for big RPs and the like.

Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean would benefit so much if more fans were open-minded to the idea of a full-cast orgy, don't you think?

That didn't work-ask your friend to try sending it to tempestguard@hotmail.com instead.

Trashymail is the usual dummy email address I use online, so I won't get spambots hunting my primary address, and it works for most things, but it seems it won't let me reply or grab the attachment, if any. Fortunately, I have a couple more that I hardly ever use, so the spambots can swarm them to their hearts' content.

I see that the original Board is becoming quite active...have we officially returned there?

I'd love to see how it could work.

I like brain-breaking pairings, when the author actually makes it plausible. And I sort of have a crush on both Picard and Gandalf, so...*goes back into hiding*

I don;t know. care to explain it?

Much appreciated. First the Engrish.com link, and now this. I could almost forget about my day job.

*Agents Mara and Isaiah salute*

and misread your question. *headdesks again*

And what they say about Yuuko for that matter. And, you know... eyes.

Okay, Rowling hasn't cracked yet, and the apocalypse isn't nigh. I can go back to my usual boredom.

Begging your pardon, but... BLAHARHAHGAGARAHG!

*wails and hides in a corner* Bleepka... want Bleepka. *sniff*

I have a vague memory of it being shut down. I don't know, but do search around. I think I was looking through the links of wikipedia's "public domain" entry when I found it.

Definitely a joke, too. Though I would like to see someone write a fanfic where that happens - a parody/humourfic, preferably, but serious if they could pull it off. Would be great. *grin*

For anything other than fanfic, particularly anything that's going to be published (is it?), I take jobs that pay, and I don't suppose that's going to happen here. I also really don't have time right now. Sorry.

It came from JKR's diary section on her home page on May 14 2007. You can find them all posted here: http://www.hp-lexicon.info/about/sources/jkr.com/jkr-com-diary.html#13

But the one in question reads as such:
May 14, 2007

A couple of weeks ago (April 28th, if you want to go and search the archive) the Potter fansite The Leaky Cauldron posted an editorial on potential spoilers for "Deathly Hallows". It made me laugh, but I was also incredibly moved and grateful.

We're a little under three months away, now, and the first distant rumblings of the weirdness that usually precedes a Harry Potter publication can be heard on the horizon. The Leaky Cauldron's early mission statement on spoilers (ie, don't, and we're not putting them up if you do) is deeply appreciated by yours truly.

I add my own plea to Melissa's for one reason, and one only: I want the readers who have, in many instances, grown up with Harry, to embark on the last adventure they will share with him without knowing where they are they going.

Some, perhaps, will read this and take the view that all publicity is good publicity, that spoilers are part of hype, and that I am trying to protect sales rather than my readership. However, spoilers won't stop people buying the book, they never have - all it will do is diminish their pleasure in the book.

There will always be sad individuals who get their kicks from ruining other people's fun, but while sites like Leaky take such an active stance against them, we may yet win. Even if the biggest secret gets out - even if somebody discovers the Giant Squid is actually the world's largest Animagus, which rises from the lake at the eleventh hour, transforms into Godric Gryffindor and... well, I wouldn't like to spoil it.


Anyways, point is, as a few of you have mentioned, it seems to have been intended as a joke. But you know how things go in the fanfiction world. I bet there's a fic out there using Godric Gryffindor = Giant squid as the formula for a cringe-worthy story.


--Boo

Or are they just further demonstrating illiteracy by using the word "ban" instead of "boycott"?
