No, I did not know that.

hS

Did you know, in the Harry Potter continuum, that Godric Gryffindor, one of the Four Founders of Hogwarts, is still alive? And where is he?
He happens to be the giant squid in the lake. His Animagus form happens to be the largest of any living wizard. According to Rowling, he transforms at 11pm every night and takes a stroll around the grounds.

As he is known for being one of the greatest duelists in history, kinda begs the question about why he didn't participate in the Battle of Hogwarts, huh?

But I can help slightly with the HP. Apparently before the release of HPDH, there was a petition going around for J.K Rowling to pair Harry with Hermione, and enforcing this by threatening to boycot (sp?) the book if she did not go to their whims.
Even more amusing, after the seventh book was finally published, a second petition went around demanding that Rowling REWRITE the entire Book, with Harry and Hermione getting together. Around the same time, a third petition went around, demanding that the 7th book should be withdrawn and instead of Rowling publishing it, a Fanfic writer who supported the Harry/Hermione pairing, write it instead.
I was rather amused at that...

Darn, I knew I was forgetting something. Bad news? I haven't touched it. Good news? I've officially finished school, so I'm up to my eyeballs in freetime.

So, one MST, coming right up.

So I'm sure most of you guys probably know about this, but I only discovered it a few weeks ago whilst looking up Cory Doctorow online, and was blown away by the concept of it all, in practice. I mean, I've -thought- about sites like that, but it actually EXISTS!

This is a site, just in case there's some of you guys out there who don't know, like me, where there can be found over 25,000 free e-books. They have (or at least it would seem) just about anything our twisted copyright laws will allow them! It is AWESOME. Also excellent for written projects, if the work being researched is public domain; the only drawback of that is that it's difficult to get page numbers on some of the sites... the one I use, at least.

(also, the fact that they named themselves after Gutenberg makes the historian in me sqee.)

Is AWESOME.

I know it's a bad habit to pester people about fics they have yet to complete, but wheres the MST of "It's a mon kinda world, Mon"(link here:http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3238401/1/)?

It's been a month or so since I first posted the link, and I distinctly remember you saying that you may complete it by this time.

If this has caused some inconvinience, please have my pre-emptive apologies, and some Anti-Lustin lilies.

I'd read it. *hides*

There was a link on Deleterius, I think - someone wanted to spork #2. Not sure how that turned out, but yeah. I remember staring at the screen and going 'guh?' at #1, but the others I just found hilarious. Meh.

As Rilwen said, if it's a Stu replacing a canon character you can kill them. The proper course of action would also have been to first locate the canon character before killing the replacement.

I think there's a few stories out there where agents kill the replacement character. I'm about to write one.

Your agents may still have to file a report on why they did not report on the whereabouts of Gerron in the first place.

But it was still amusing in a horrific way at the time.

I needed a good laugh, thanks for posting this!

All those pairings could probably make amusing crackfic, although Weasley Twins/Lance Bass is a bit hard to set up, and twincest kinda not my thing (okay, I'll be honest, none of those are 'my thing', before you get any ideas, but incest is one of my very few 'just ... no' things).

Correct me if I'm wrong though, but I'd nominate Kurt Cobain/Axl Rose for 'most baffling sex scene in fanfic history'. It sure as hell baffled me.

Silly mouse button. Silly me for letting it hover over "post reply" when I wasn't done.

'course, the only thing I had left to say was to breathe a sigh of relief about the Stu. Cheers again.

Thanks, Ril.

Don't think you killed a canon.

Also, the 'Harmonians' being the main cause, try here, which has a list of 'wanks' where nutty H/Hr shippers were involved.

I remember thinking Emerson was being a bit rude. Ouchie. And I didn't realise I'd only been hearing about the Harmonians, but now that you say it, it's certainly true - I wasn't even sure who their opponants were.

Poor Hermione. *sigh* I'll check fandom_wank, then. What I'm mostly lookking for, actually, is examples of how insane shipping wars can get.

Cheers!

but I can for the H/Hr wars. Basically, JKR was interviewed by two fansite owners - Melissa and Emerson, who run The LEaky Cauldron and Mugglenet respectively - and she was asked a question about shippers. JKR said something about 'anvil sized hints' that it was gonna be Ron/Hermione rather than Harry/Hermione. On top of that, Emerson called the H/Hr shippers 'delusional' and the H/Hr fans went batshit.

I mean, the sane ones didn't. Most H/Hr shippers, I'm sure, got a bit annoyed, but didn't start writing letters to JKR and boycotting the series. But the batshit ones did, and that's why everyone thinks ALL H/Hr shippers are batshit. The main focus of the war was between H/Hr 'Harmonian' shippers and R/Hr shippers. And, yeah. So Harmonian shippers got a bad press while the R/Hr shippers came out scot free. Fandom_Wank will have reams on it, but I'm not sure of the links, and since their main purpoe is to make fun of everything, I don;t know how much you'lll find.

Wow, long post is long. Hope I could help!

*is very, very red* In my very first PPC mission, Agents Sedri and Iza killed a Gary Stu named Geron who was playing matchmaker for one major and one minor Star Trek: Voyager canon characters. I did my research! I ran searches for the name and searched my memory (as well as my DVDs) for a canonical "Geron". There wasn't one.

Guess what? There IS a Gerron. I just dicovered him - here - while browsing. He fits the badfic description well enough that I'm sure he was meant to be the same character, though this canon is "reticent to the point of rudeness" while the 'Stu' was Mr Happy Innocence.

... I still killed him. Meep.

I'm sincerely hoping you guys will tell me that because the Stu was constantly misspelled, he wasn't actually the canon character, but... *squeaks* The Flowers scare me.



(Also, because I don't want to double-post: I've been trying to find out more about the shipping war between Harry/Hermione fans and... whomever they were against. I heard it got pretty bad, but I don't know the details. Can anyone help me out?)

How can you do ANYTHING, let alone have sex, ON a Balrog? Forget "in space"...

Okay, okay, it was a joke. Still, the mental image... Where's my bleepka?

Yuri makes people nicer? I didn't know that.
And she's welcome to Saryona. Minis need love too. ^_~ Syaoran-kun and Sakura-chan give them their blessing.

Picard, Gandalf, sex on the Balrog, in space.

Because yes, he can and does project very vivid mental images if he wants to. And if they're not interested, he'll just enjoy their squickedness instead.
Because among the sensations a Sith can enjoy in the Force, violent revulsion is right up there. :p
