I've seen bits and pieces of all the Trek series except the newest one, which I've heard isn't worthwhile. I know basically who's who and what's what in the rest, though. {= )

My review isn't that long. I basically told her that I didn't like the tone of the story, explained why, and told her that a writer can't treat the readers like morons. I also told her that protagonists must be sympathetic or have some redeeming quality of humanity, or we have no reason to care about them. I used Dr. House as an example of a nasty character with redeeming qualities. The most scathing bit is this one:

"Siris, on the other hand, is overpowered, disrespectful, full of herself, condescending, and totally unsympathetic. The fact that an albino horse goddess with a ridiculous curse is extremely out of place in J.K. Rowling's world doesn't do her any favors. The fact that she makes the characters who belong there and Hogwarts itself all look bad is a death sentence as far as a reader's interest is concerned. None of the canon characters has any reason to like her. Why should we?"

I did give her props for halfway-decent mechanics, though.

She won't be doing those essays, of course, because she thinks she's above doing essays as the Lady of...whatchamacallit.

Here's some torture ideas!
1) If you don't do homework you are waken up in the middle of the night for a torture session in the gym (or that place with the pillars).
2) Sharpen a yardstick. Throw it at a student.
3) Shoot students for not turning in their homework.
4) Screw a student's thumb to the table for fun.
5) Hang students for fun.
6) If a student with long hair is playing with it, cut the hair, slam it on the desk or table, and yell, "Play with THAT instead!"
7) Throw staplers at students
8) Swing arms around to purposely smack students sitting in the first row.

These are all rumors spread regarding my history teacher. Har har.

The Strongest Will Emerge To Wear The Crown

In which collisions occur (and if this was Reorg, you can guarantee Collisions would be the chapter title), lives end, and a long-awaited reunion takes place.

Also, in which a chapter title is used which has been considered for the last two chapters; I'm glad to finally fit it in.

I's not sure if it is bein' the right one tho'. My readin' ain't so good.

Heh heh. The execution amuses me too; I was sitting at my desk, suddenly realizing, "Well, bugger; how do you kill a goddess?"
The first thing I thought of was actually the subtle knife (Æsahættr, the god-destroyer), but there would be severe canonical consequences if it was stolen, and also neither of my Agents had knowledge of it.
So I kept thinking about the death of gods, which led me to Ragnarok, which made me remember the Klingons.

I've seen entire threads on Pottersues ranting at the insensitivity of Suethors giving their creations massive busts, and how uncomfortable it really is. So I felt I was rather justified in striking back.

I'm still flattered by your vast love. Unfortunately, Crelmos does not love you back (er, which is probably a good thing- never mind).
Teek would beg to differ on the Cardassian-ification front. She's probably deeply scarred. (I tried not to make the neck-stroking thing too creepy, but...)

I didn't know you were a Trek fan. This pleases me. (I am a Trekkie, the child of Trekkies...)

Cardassians are amazingly fun to write- even if Teek may not think so. (It's fun scarring your characters for life, innit?)

Could you give me a brief summary of what you said? I'm curious.
Because, c'mon, I'm the one who had her character torn apart by grumpy Klingons... I'd like to see a slightly calmer opinion, for variation. ^-^

Anyone got the map thing so we can reach World's End, then?

I be working on my growl. Unfortunately, it don't sound very human. Arr!

I remember 'earin' that Anne Bonny an' Mary Read, the famous pirate ladies, went into battle wid no shirts on, but I'll be damned if I'm followin' their lead in that area. Sorry, me lubbers.

(I do gots the 'eadscarves in real life, though.)

Bloody buggerin' **** **** **** ... no, that's less Talk Like A Pirate Day than Swear Like A Sailor Day, ain't it?

Arr, best be fetchin' 'im. *sails off*

Guess it was alcoholic rum, then.

Explodes in a shower of sparkles as the bleeprin and alcohol mix and explode.*

... Maybe.

Are ye trying to kill yer own crewmate, swabbie?

I be rememberin' my first Talk Like a Pirate Day with this 'ere PPC. I were right new I was, an' found myself quite perplexerated by all these strange goings-on. Now, of course, I be one o' the crazies myself!

OA and I only started planning OFUTRC about the 30th of August. So in the last - *checks date* - three weeks, she and I managed to cobble together an application form and knock out the first four chapters, and that was with leaving time for beta-reading.

Hope you like it.

Let's find out, matey!

*Pours two tankards, shoves one in Kistune's mouth before he can do anything about it, and downs the other in one gulp*

*helps winter lug up the big keg of rum up to deck*
ALcholoic or non-alcoholic rum? Since I still have bleeprin in my system.
