Is that Michel was initially going to be a love interest. Then I realized that mindless antagonism was much more fun.

I'm glad you liked it!

And a Thousande Elephants!!

*sigh* It's true, though; we're all corrupted. Bilingual screaming + murder attempts = LOVE. Bleh.

I like the fighting agents. Good mission - thanks!

Though I have to say - nothing feels quite right.

If it's all still the same story, with the same characters, why not? We consider the Potterverse to be one fandom - doesn't matter that it's printed in seven parts.

Good luck! Perhaps we could find a helmet for Crebaina that would keep her skull intact?

When writing a PPC mission for a little-known fandom, there aren't necessarily going to be many people around who can read it. I'm rather saddened that I have to skip over a number of available missions just because I don't understand the original canon well enough to understand what's going on - anime is a good example. LotR, Harry Potter and so on are great because almost everyone knows them.

But certainly, it's worth a try. Don't let me discourage you.

Baen, I mean. I really, really admire that guy's principles. Thanks, Finch!

Would it help If I scanned the uberpit for some easy targets in fandoms that we rarely see PPC'd? Like Halo for instance and is Serra still working on that Valter sue?

In which Maria and Michel try to kill each other, Agent Rouge from the Invasion RP appears, and Legolas switches personalities with Jiraya.

Fitch is a magpie because they have an attraction to shiny things and take stuff that doesn't belong to them.

April knew the generator was important, but her general attitude towards such things is "I'm a scientist. I can put it back together." Forgetting that her area of scientific expertise is chemistry.

Sounds unpleasant.

*Morbid Curiosity wants link*

Aeron is pleased at the kinship. For the record (since I, too, am dying to plug something I've thought up), Aeron is a crow because they symbolize, among other things, trickery, boldness, cunning, understanding things related to ethics, knowledge, and "moving freely in the void."

Crebaina came here through a plothole, has become rather scarily obsessed with Enlightenment philosophy, and the rest is self-explanatory.
(Although, I found the bit about the void after deciding on the plothole idea, and I'd already chosen his form before that. Decidedly creepy.)

I was right? *controls urge to dance about in glee*
Now that I think on it, Crebaina probably would have done that, but either Aeron cautioned her out of it, or she remembered that all this stuff was integral to her task.
(One could delve into her backstory and say that one day she probably took apart something equally complicated in her father's lab, which did not end well.)

I... actually just finished reading that about half an hour ago. Because I remembered your LJ username and looked it up. Er, heh heh. Heh. But thanks.

Actually, I have seen a few goodfics there, which I really enjoyed. Both oneshots, but beautifully written.

Ah, goodfic... *wistful sigh*

But, this, well... The person claims that HDM is her favorite series ever, but then proceeds to bugger everything up.

Now, I have no problem with aspiring writers who may have a lot of trouble with plot, grammar, or formatting.

But if you don't bother to study or ask questions where you need help, nor learn important facts about the book you write fic for... I have no sympathy.

I must also write down one particular thing which is bothering me about this fic thus far:
Premise: Will and Lyra have got married and had a child. (Oh, yay! Totally ruining the point of the bittersweet ending! Ye gods... )
Now, they're living in Will's world, and the daughter has no idea that she has a dæmon- her parents kept him from her until he settled (as a cat), and she doesn't understand why they won't let anyone touch him, etc. She thinks he's just her pet cat.

On the plus side, the girl has always felt something missing, but that's the only positive.

Need I say that Will would never do this? He is fascinated by dæmons, as we know, and Lyra would never let him do something so cruel to their own child.
And I think, personally, that the author is really underestimating the power of the connection- which can, after all, break open gates between worlds, as Roger proved. If they haven't been severed, being kept apart until adolescence would be devastating, potentially fatal, to both. She wouldn't just feel sad sometimes.
Why are they hiding this from her, anyway? *controls urge to burn things*

The author has also totally steamrollered over Pullman's name significance- Lyra's daughter is "Lylee."
Lyra happens to be a constellation. D:

Oh, and correct me if I'm wrong, but have panserbjørne ever been referred to as "ice bears" rather than the proper "armoured bears?" Because Suethor did that, too.

...You know, this fic is probably going to be how the still-resentful Teek and Crebaina finally bond. Because Crebaina's mental and emotional state is not going to hold up well.

The generator is supposed to work like that. April's has been malfunctioning for years. (It's all her own fault; on her first day with it, she took it apart to find out how it worked and it has hated her ever since.) She's glad to hear that Crebaina's is working properly.

*shameless self-pluggage* If you're interested, you can find my introduction to April and Fitch here: http://www.freewebs.com/rc1701/mission1.htm Yes, I know the font's doing strange things.

And you are a very brave person to enter the HDM section.

While on the search for another badfic (this time braving the Pit's His Dark Materials fandom, despite the fact that Crebaina's head is totally going to explode), I found two parts of what is apparently going to be a three-part fanfic, each posted separately.

The first part is only one chapter- well, about one paragraph-of-doom, while the second part is slightly longer.

Could both parts be combined into one mission, as the first one isn't really even a fanfic at all?

I like 10.

...Well, seeing as, despite the connection, human and dæmon are still in two separate forms, I figured that the generator would just work on Crebaina.

You could go a little more metaphysical and say something like that since the dæmon is something more akin to one's spirit or nature, and since the disguise generator only changes one's outward appearance, something like that wouldn't be affected, not being part of your material body...

...I'll stop now. *drags brain back to reality*


(And he could have a far more obtrusive or attention-getting settled form, so I didn't think a crow on her shoulder would be too much of a problem.)

But Crebaina and Aeron would like to make their sympathy for April and Fitch known; Aeron would also like to inquire what Fitch's settled form is.

But anyway, thanks for the praise. :) I'm actually rather eager to find more badfic, just so I can keep writing and developing them more. And also kill Sues.

I vote for no. 47

My vote goes to a combination of 47 and 11, like so:

APOCALYPSE SHORTLY AFTER DINNERTIME
OR
The PPC Movie with an Annoyingly Long Subtitle that Really Only Wastes Your Time but Provides a Handy Distraction so that We may Steal Your Money

With appropriate burst fonts, naturally.

But I think my vote will go to 8. Also with my little appendage, because it's not a real movie without a thousande elephants!!!!!
