Anthony. Rapes. Todd. *implosion*
How stupid. And to answer your question... Random Londerers sounds good; beggers tend to go particularly unnoticed even by those who can see them. And I don't see any reason why Skyfire should have to wear the womens' clothes - heaven knows most of us couldn't. ;)

There's a resturant (or at least, a cafe) called Thorntree Terrace. I cracked up every time I saw it.

Disguises for possible Sweeney Todd mission. by

A while ago, I encountered a mildly horrifying Sweeney Todd slashfic. In this fic, Anthony rapes Todd. No, I did not switch those names around by accident. I'm sure you can see exactly why this needs to die.
My problem is, what disguises should my Bad Slashers use? My first thought was police, but if Sweeney Todd wakes up to find two policemen in his barber shop he's likely to panic and do something messy to them. Random Victorian London inhabitants? Should Skyfire disguise herself as a boy, since she's probably not worn a dress since puberty and would be unable to walk in a Victorian womans' outfit?

for sake of simplicity, seeing as Kit's author's male, we're probably going to be mostly referring to Kit as "he".

I think we have you, and one other fanboy whose identity is unknown as we just made him up to be mouthy. The usual gender distribution for an OFU- boys are in the minority.

... an anime catgirl, and some more subtle non-canonicals like an iguana and a tiger. And the second OFUM had someone sign up as a stick figure, as I recall. Non-canonical species can come, they just have to be mocked regularly.

Woo! I'll probably have to say in an author note that Firefoot was around before I discovered Eomer's horse, just in case someone has a go at me.

The fact that it's named after Eomer's (*swoon*) horse only makes the name more awesome. Go ahead!

There I was, happily settled on a horse for a character of mine. Firefoot, a white mare with a reddish ring above her front left hoof. Then I read The Two Towers and discover that damn Horse Lord already had a Firefoot.
Does it matter that mine's based on a friend's horse (well, pony), or will I still have to rename Firefoot? Eomer's also hasn't got a description (to my knowledge).

the usual organiser of the Gatherings is hS, and as a Brit, he tends to arrange them in Britain. I think the only Gatherings he wasn't organising or at least present for were the Canadian ones- the one that Leto organised back in 2004 and the two-person one that happened this summer.
American Gatherings would be tricky, just for the logistics of getting everyone to the meeting place, and it'd have to be more than just a day-trip thing.

Allright...am now asking for the Holy Permission. Again. by
on 2008-09-05 03:40:00 UTC
Reply
So...some of you may remember my last attempt at asking for Permission. Well, I've switched around one character...Agent Christianne is now partnered with Agent Eledhwen.
So without further ado...
Backstory: Eledhwen Elerossiel
Being a Random Generic Elf had its perks. For one, no Mary Sue ever took the bother to notice her unless she had been cast by the Author/ess in a Suefic (often appearing for one line under a terrible name like Alinaserweniel, Lady in Waiting to Princess Mary Sue). She never stuck around long to fall under the PPC radar as a bit character, and never would want to. The PPC were scary, but they were her saviors. They just never knew that. After all, she was a Random Generic Elf.
Eledhwen patrolled the borders of Rivendell, often to just be the Random Elf who escorts Princess Mary Sue to the Last Homely House, though she never wanted to. Other times she would be sewing or cooking with the other Random Generic Elves, and if she really had nothing to do she would wander around, watching the Assassins (being a Random Generic Elf also meant not even Canon paid attention to you, so you could see things the official Canonicals couldn't), and sometimes close enough to hear them. In this manner, Eledhwen managed to learn that there were other worlds that were in a similar state of disrepair like hers. Not only that, but she also noted that the Assassins often talked about being 'understaffed' and 'overworked'.
And one day, she was assigned the role of Lady in Waiting to yet another Mary Sue--and the Author/ess knew her name and her usual role, and even gave her a more important part in the 'fic. Eledhwen then realized that she was in a parody 'fic, and proceeded to try to have the time of her life being a main opponent of a Mary Sue.
The MS, Starr Prettyprettyprincess, had other plans and contacted a Mary Sue Factory. This Factory was conducting experiments in cloning and Eledhwen was to be their Elf specimen. So while Minas Tirith was besieged, Eledhwen was kidnapped by Defectives and sent to the Factory.
During her stint at the MSF, Eledhwen got her hands on some Canon catalogues someone had left behind. They were never touched by the MS Factory workers because it was, after all, a Canon catalogue. To pass her time in between specimen testings, Eledhwen read about Narnia, Hogwarts, even Middle-earth in a time long since past.
When her hyperactive Mary Sue-ish duplicate was created, the Head Mary Sue informed Eledhwen that her duplicate, Lilith of the Wintry Woods, was to take her place, undercover, in the MS Parody and the original Elleth would be executed. Distraught, Eledhwen tricks a couple of Defectives to lead her to the Portal Room and portalls herself to HQ. Her information on this paricular Factory is still being processed. In the meantime, Eledhwen is a Part-time Assassin in DMS, partnered with Christianne if she is on the job. If not, she is at OFUM, learning more about the Canon (through pain, of course) or training to become a full-fledged Assassin.
Backstory: Christianne Shieh
Christianne Marian Shieh was a big fan of the PPC. That is, if she wasn't too busy flaming badfic for Lord of the Rings, Naruto, and Harry Potter. One day, she recieves a most curious envelope with odd forms (all written in Pig Latin) and a plane ticked to New Caledonia.
She fills out the forms simply because she had nothing to do, and decides that she should check out the scenery on that charming island.
Once she takes a step into town, she realizes that she was in the city the PPC fled to during the Macrovirus Attack. A hike in the hills led her to the door into HQ. After a chat with the Marquis, Christianne is placed in DMS, Naruto division.
After her partner's death (a rogue Canon still partly under the sway of a Mary Sue), Christianne is moved to the HP division. When one of the Mary Sues kills her partner in the HP division, Upstairs decides to just assign her to part-time partners in the LotR division. Consequently, she was partnered with Eledhwen Elerossiel and the rest is history.
So, if the PGs want more info, ask me.
