I suppose it makes sense for a mini of something that’s already little to be big. Maybe Average-Sized Grey Cells? Or would that mean average by grey cell standards - still little?
Not really sure it applies to the non-Poirot books, though. Alternatively, we could compromise by combining our ideas... Dead grey cells???

Only more of a really big Grey Cell. You can buy some really adorable plushie cells, I'm sure there's a cute neuron out there.

BTW, what are your fandoms?

That’s about the only thing I could think of that connects almost all of the books. There aren’t any monsters or anything, so I don’t know what else it would be.

Have a bottle of Generic Liquid. It turns into whatever you expect it to be, so make sure you think it’s something nice!

What are your fandoms? I hope we share some!

Have a slightly holy suit of used Imperial Guard flak armor, guaranteed to last you the rest of your life (average lifespan of deployed Imperial Guardsman: 15hrs).

Hi.

Whoops

Think about cartoon physics, for example.

Maybe we should refer to the laws of physics, grammar, canon, etc. as the Universal Laws of Reason.

A Hero's Tale, or: Harry Potter and the Potions Accident

Harry Potter is a wizard. And also a wizard. And another wizard. And a few more wizards. And quite possibly a witch too. There were a lot of wizardly Harry Potters running around, is what I'm getting at. If you think that's confusing, just imagine what Harry thought of it.

If your imagination is not quite up to snuff, I'll give you the gist of it. One Harry (Let's call him Harry Alpha) was wondering how on earth spilling a potion could have possibly led to a multiversal rift. He didn't think it was possible. He was right, sort of. It wasn't just the potion.

Another Harry, Harry-Beta, the Slytherin twin of Harry Gamma (Yes, they were both named Harry; Hagrid meant well but it's kinda hard to tell babies apart at the best of times, and when they're identical twins with the same distinguishing mark, it becomes downright impossible) was thinking that he was never listening to the Weasley twins again no matter what puppy-dog eyes Harry Gamma gave him; Gryffindor pranks might have been rarer than Slytherin pranks but they made up for it in imagination.

Harry-Delta was in the quite awkward position of being naked, and covering up the sensitive areas with a spare textbook. He was a consenting adult with a very good reason for being starkers, and that's all he would tell anyone, not that they'd actually believe him. He generally tried to fade into the background, despite being taller than the rest and wearing a quite distinctive birthday suit.

Harry-Epsilon was looking at Professor Snape, his adoptive father, for guidance, but wasn't getting much from him; the version of Snape in this universe was somewhat shell-shocked at one of his worst nightmares come to life. Harry-Epsilon was probably going to be in for a rather rude shock if he talked to Snape before Dumbledore. No two worlds are exactly the same, and in the one Harry-Epsilon knew, a troubled man had learned to let go of hatred towards the dead. Harry-Epsilon had no idea of how rare this was.

Harry-Zeta was mostly surprised and emotional at seeing Hogwarts again; ever since an especially potent and troublesome magic had trapped him in the distant past, he'd given up on returning to the place he had considered home. He would have been wrong about that, even if no strange convergence of magic had lead him and all his counterparts together, but that's a story for another time.

Harry-Eta was wondering why no one else in the room seemed to keep any artifacts on them aside from an unfamiliar sort of stick. His was a world where magic was in things and shaped by the wizard, rather than in the wizard and channeled through things. He would soon be learning that it was never that simple in any world.

Harry-Theta had trouble recognizing the others as him. This was no wonder, for they were land beings, as opposed to Harry-Theta and his kind, the denizens of the sunken isles. There is a story behind the many changes that lead to Harry-Theta and his fellow wizards becoming amphibious, but it doesn't really have much doing here. Here, it has already been averted.

Harry-Iota is just a new first year, and he's wondering if this was what wizards considered normal. A good look around the room would show him that it wasn't, but he'd just been dumped into an alternate universe in the middle of a crowd of himself. He can be forgiven for missing some details.

These men, boys, and assorted other genders were all different people, from very different worlds. They had lived different lives, and had different stories to tell. But, as they would eventually figure out after the shock had worn off, they had things in common.

They all wished to protect their friends, and were all ready to defy authority when they thought it made a mistake. They were all brave in their own way- even Harry-Beta, sorted into Slytherin, would take great risks if the cause was right, he would just go about it in what he called "the smart way". They all had a talent for getting into trouble. They all had a strong sense of family, and after some initial shenanigans, they extended that feeling to each other. And though none of them set out to be a hero, all couldn't see a problem without trying to fix it.

That's what really brought them together. They were, the lot of them, heroes to the core, and wherever they were and whoever they were with, they would fight the good fight. This time, they'd do it together.

Voldemorts everywhere had better beware.

In a journal in Riven, Gehn misspelled "wahrk" as "whark".

Don't know what an Agatha Christie mini would be, but a copy of Death Comes as the End spelled "Imhotep" (the father's name) as "Imhtep" once.

... they're obviously a typo for the Marines Errator, which consists of the survivors of every Space Marine Chapter which has ever been misspelled. ^_^

(Though actually Errantor is apparently a valid Latin word: Wiktionary calls it the third-person plural future passive imperative of errō, which means 'I wander'. So... what is that, 'let it be that they will wander'? Or 'let them wander!'. Is that the same linguistic formulation as 'let them eat cake'?)

Have you had time to look at my Permission doc yet? I emailed it last week. Sorry if I’m being too impatient: I’m new to being beta-read so I don’t know how long it usually takes.

on my shelf for years. I'm looking forward to finding Suicide's origin point!

—It's such a shame that doctorlit has no control over what order he reads books, and that the books themselves determine that for him. Oh well!

This obscure chapter of Space Marines appeared in the Warhammer 40,000 supplement "Chapter Approved 2001." They are probably a typo of "Marines Errant," a chapter mentioned elsewhere in the same publication.

"... and for having him track your phone without your knowledge or consent and portraying it as romantic. For these crimes you are sentenced to --"

"You can't charge for that," Sophie said, lowering the gun she had trained on the 'Sue slightly.

Theo lowered the notebook he'd been reading from. "Excuse me?" he said.

"That's not a charge," Sophie said.

"What do you mean it's not a charge?" Theo asked. "It is disgusting."

"Yeah, well, no arguments there," Sophie said. "It's one of the few things he did that was actually in character, though. And we don't really charge for, y'know, capturing the spirit of the original."

Theo closed the notebook slowly. "What are you saying?" he asked.

"That was very similar to something that happened in canon..." Sophie trailed off. You're not thinking what I think you're thinking, are you?"

"In all likelihood, yes," Theo said.

And you're certain you don't know why your partner shot Christian Grey eight times in the leg? the Sunflower Official said, looking for all the world like it was steepling its fronds.

Sophie kept her eyes very wide and tried to project innocence. "I have no idea what got into him," she said, her voice coming out roughly an octave above its usual pitch.

There was a pause.

"FicPsych said there was nothing wrong with him," she finally said.

Naturally, the Flower almost cut her off. Get out of my office, Agent List.

Whichever theoretical agents handle the Fifty Shades continuum must be really nuts. Either that or nobody handles it and it's just kind of ignored.

For some reason we made an account in Phobos' name, though, so I'll have to confer with him about it.

Or maybe just make my own, because seriously.

~Neshomeh is probably going to be told she needs to drink the tea she has first, but is man enough for ALL this f***ing tea, so there.

Dammit, Muphry's Law got me! {X D
