I like the haiku. ^_^
Regarding the Maglor snippet, hS may have more to say about this than I can, but my understanding is that elves don't necessarily sleep like humans do. I like the idea of Maglor pretending in order to get the kids to go to bed, though!

Alright, you should have editing access! by

If you want, we can definitely work on it as a coriff. I'll handle all the formatting and putting it up on the Asylum (which has changed hands, by the way!), and it looks like we have enough material for... twoish riffs. Sound good?

Let's do the one that was originally on Quotev, then. Where do you think we should start with it? by

It's been so long since I wrote it that I've blocked most of it out of my memory. Someday, I want to write some actually decent fanfic about the Ringwraiths to redeem myself.

I'd love to have more installments of your guest riff, though, if you still want to work on that. (nm) by

this riff? I can update it, and I see the doc you mean, but I think the point would more be to submit new installments, if and when you finish those.
I was initially thinking of this badfic of yours that used to be on Quotev, that I still intend to riff at Some Point.
If you want, we have group riffs at the Asylum, which you absolutely can join in.

Do you still have it? I'm doing a bit more of it now. Working either in this thread or in the doc itself would be my preference.

So good to see you again, it's been what, almost a year? I've missed you. I think I still have the doc for that one badfic you submitted for MST'ing somewhere. Remember Plort? I sure do, that was so much fun.

Deirdre's favorite holiday is probably Burns Night because she's Irish. She's from a world I invented, but she's still Irish somehow. I'm not sure what holidays Rebecca likes.

Bookworm at your service! takes off Dwarven hood and bows I have been tremendously busy with calculus and other things. I am now back for a little bit. I present you with two little bits of Silmarillion fanfic. Feel free to poke holes in them and give advice.
Still they are shining
Now in their sundered dwellings
Untouched by evilIt was after supper one evening. Maglor was sitting outside the house with his foster sons, Elros and Elrond watching the stars come out.
“Well, my boys, I think tomorrow morning would be a good time to go fishing,” said Maglor.
“Can we, Atar?” asked Elros, jumping up from the bench where he sat.
“Yes, we will,” said Maglor. “And now, if you will kindly refrain from jumping off the walls, it is time for bed. Look, I will go myself.” He walked back into the house. The twins followed him, laughing.
The next morning, well before the sun was up, he was awakened by the sounds of Elrond and Elros racing each other to see who could get ready the quickest.
“Can you not let an old elf sleep until a decent hour of the morning?” This was not the first time the twins woke him up absurdly early.

I don’t entirely follow the conversation with the [two] {voices}. I think you’re implying they’re a pair of characters who were planned to appear in canon, but got edited out before airing? It explains why they would be free of Naomi’s influence, since they’re intangible, and how they were able to observe the PPC agents. I like that they were able to tug on Naomi’s sense of morality enough to get her to let go of her control, but it seems she only did so on the assumption that she would still get what she wants. Once she realized her demanded romance would have to be worked for, she couldn’t resist taking control again . . . as the {one voice} said, giving up control is hard! I think, in the long run, she’s going to have to accept that leaving Ned, and the Simpsons universe, are the only way to truly give up her bad behavior. But I’m curious to see whether she’ll be able to do so on her own . . .
I like that canon didn't "snap back" upon Naomi turning off the "machinery," since it wasn't actually off/gone for good, which caused Ned to remember everything that had happened. It makes for another consequence for Naomi to confront!

What a shock, Umbridge was harping on Draco for his hair and gender performance last chapter, and now McLaggen and a bunch of other students are calling him a girl. Almost like modeling bad behavior to young people makes them internalize that it’s an acceptable thing to do or something, what a shock, who could have foreseen this? McLaggen is being vile in this chapter, and frankly, I’m glad he got socked. It may not have been the right thing to do on Harry’s end, but bullies need to learn they can’t just torment other with impunity. (Frankly, any and all nearby Hogwarts staff should have intervened after the singing started and forced the students to stop, in the name of respectful sportsmanship.)
I’m thinking about Hermione’s rather random detention with Bonnefoy, and wondering . . . did she produce that cursed rune, rather than Draco? (Don’t answer that.)
I . . . wow. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised by Umbridge being racist/anti-immigrant against Liu, but it kind of did catch me off guard? I guess I assumed his status as coming from the equivalent of a Noble and Most Ancient House would ingratiate him to Umbridge well enough, but clearly that isn’t enough to bypass her level of prejudice . . . And on a more general note, with the enmity between school houses going on, and Harry’s argument with Ron at the end, it feels like Umbridge is having the opposite effect that she did in canon; instead of most of the school uniting against her strict rules, she’s successfully dividing the students from each other. The ruling class does love to dismantle solidarity . . .
Oh dear, I spy a Vanishing Cabinet, hopefully not filled with foreshadowing for year six in this timeline . . .
I have major respect for Draco here. Even with all the drama and insult that happened in this chapter, he’s still able to articulate clearly to Harry why his responsibilities to his family still matter to him, despite his lack of faith in Mother Magic, and how Harry’s inability to respect that is hurting Draco. I still don’t want him to marry Astoria, of course, but he’s keeping his head above water and making his priorities clear in the midst of all the turmoil going on around them. He's quite a kid, has a good head on his shoulders!
