If it’s from a TV show or a movie, I probably do not know about it. Also, I’m not the best at puzzles.

I actually remember taking part a few years ago. The ending result included multiple Sues, excessive dialogue, and match butchering of various mythologies. Needless to say, it has been destroyed.
This year, I’m probably not reaching the word count goal, but I will be writing a collection of short stories featuring two increasingly frustrated people who are permanently in the bodies of teens and get stuck into various universes that always eventually get at least one Mary Sue invasion, and every time the invasion is taken care of, they get stuck in another universe.

Has really great songs. The most popular is “Hey Alice (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=miy71v46r4).
(The original version is this; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XgCS4X3Uzeo)

Another one of her songs I like is Nothing You Can’t Do (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mEjba75a4vo).

Also, Secrets of Wysteria is a nice song (for Halloween)

"So, what do you work on outside of missions?"

“Though, if you’re asking about which department here, it’s Mary Sues.”

"I was Christine, Ix was the Phantom, and there was this huge kerfuffle with a Space Marine—don't tell me you don't remember her, at least." She jerked her head at Ix, who had frozen in front of a platter of canapés, eyes huge behind her mask.

It dwells in fanfiction, written by Oceanbreeze7.

"And I am Peregrin, with Mary Sues." he replied.

"Where are you from, Lemon?"

(( Sorry, forgot to actually hit post ))

So, since I spent a few hours straight reading it, here are my thoughts on the latest Laundry Files book (for those who don't know, the premise of this series is, roughly "you can summon Lovcraftian horrors by performing computations (ie, running an app on your phone), and the government is (obviously) covering this up. But this is the government, so all the usual bureaucratic BS applies.", giving us a series that's a cross between Lovecraftian horror, spy novels, and an office comedy.)

So, first, the non-spoilery thoughts: the somewhat non-linear narrative was a bit confusing to follow (but that makes sense, given what the plot is). Also, the footnotes continue to be good stuff.

I have a few things to offer myself, and they're mostly soundtrack-related stuff, also mostly acoustic.

Animusic, a series of MIDI-driven computer animations of cool self-playing instruments. It comes as two DVDs, but can also be found on YouTube:

This epic piece by the same guy who made the music for all the aforementioned videos:

This part of the soundtrack to "Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime":

And this one from "Crypt of the NecroDancer":

This catchy little electronic piece which was used in the game "Just Shapes and Beats":

And finally, the song I have claimed as my personal theme song with regards to the Board. If you listen long enough, it'll make you laugh.

Hope you enjoy at least one of these!

1. Obscurity level: I bet no one knows but me
   Oh my God! When Protagonist kills Evil Master Who Initiates the Plot, he/she then becomes the new one and does the same thing all over again! There's even a little foreshadowing, as Evil Master reveals a true form that looks similar to and fights exactly the same as Protagonist!
   
   2. Obscurity level: Maybe one or two would know
   Oh my God! Big Bad is Mentor Figure's former love interest! And when they just can't kill each other, Tricky Henchman attempts to carry forth the plan to destroy and rebuild the world instead and gets powered up by the Dark MacGuffin, with help from a brainwashed Sidekick!
   
   3. Obscurity level: Well-known, at least among here
   Oh my God! Dark Chosen One decides that world domination isn't a good thing after all!
   
   4. Obscurity level: I bet no one knows but me
   Oh my God! When Protagonist has finally retrieved Damsel in Distress from Sexually Deprived Villain, she then gets captured again, this time by Rival #1! What will he do?!
   
   5. Obscurity level: Thoth probably knows this one, and I bet some of you can guess
   Oh my God! That enemy that Protagonist just killed wasn't actually Big Bad! Or that one... or that one... or that one... or that one... Oh hey, Big Bad is over here and he has a powerful weapon.

Almost kinda like being GT, hehe. I like that.

I can't believe Villain was Main Character's father! What a twist, give them a hand!

"Thank you, but... I'm sorry... if we've met, I don't recall."

He looked to Gall for an explanation, but she just looked back with an enigmatic smile. Whatever answer Charlotte chose to give was certain to be interesting.

(( Her silence might be a kind act in disguise, but I'm not sure. I suppose it depends on what happens next. {= D ))

"She's a regular monkey," she said. "And about as destructive as one, too. She keeps finding ways to pull electronics apart to see how they work."

"Worked," Zeb put in.

"Worked," the Aviator acquiesced, sighing. She kissed the top of Elanor's head and smoothed her curls carefully. "And you're not wrong about the TARDIS," she added. "She rearranged her interior so Elanor's nursery is right by the doors. Gives her a quiet place of her own, and the TARDIS lets me know if she wakes up and starts fussing."

"Ah. I had thought, perhaps, that you spent the majority of your time inside of the TARDIS, whom I was under the impression had a degree of control over her interior." He glanced at Elanor again. "Does she attempt to do so often?"

“I’m Lemon.” Lemon pointed to her partner. “And that’s my partner, Chelsea.”

People gotta know.

"I am, uh, ... what was your name?"

“I’m off to go get some!” With that, Chelsea walked towards the food table. She stopped and looked back. “You guys coming?”

Lemon looked to Peregrin.

You know that feeling when a good fanfiction that's been going on for ages, finally ends? Especially when the ending is heart-wrenching yet glorious.
And all you want is for it to go on. I'm utterly depressed, yet oddly happy that it's done, cause my story was a shot of depresso mixed with cocaine and suicide.

So sad

"You guys don't need to worry about waking her up," she said, bouncing Elanor gently. "She sleeps through the consoles going off now."

"And what a relief that is," Zeb added. The Aviator bumped him with her hip, and he grinned. "Ave's the one who does most of the work. I just babysit when she needs a break."

"My TARDIS is great," the Aviator said, "but she doesn't exactly have the capability of running across the RC to stop Elanor from climbing on the counters."

Charlotte didn't look wholly convinced, though. "Still doesn't change the fact Ix couldn't..." She shook her head. "Sorry, this is supposed to be a party! I shouldn't be making the mood so glum. Derik," she said, touching his arm. "I never got the chance to properly congratulate you, too."

I struggled a bit with writing that, and I think my grammar and style suffered as a result. Fight scenes are hard to write!
