...You know, having just finished a fanfiction about Frozen!Elsa's powers, I wonder what limits Oregon!Elsa has. I doubt the Epic version would be able to, say, create a sapient creation like Olaf the snowman, but could she create a golem or similar construct? Can she keep her ice from melting for long periods of time even when she's not touching it? Could she kill a man with a stare by lowering his body temperature to the point that he'd shatter at a touch? These are questions I have to ask.

Do you think Elsa can make harmonicas out of ice?
-
I have the sudden mental image of Orange Crush and Elsa playing harmonicas together while wearing black and white striped prison get up. It's surprisingly awesome.
-
It'll be fine. You're awesome and any pug would be lucky to go home with you--anyone worth their pug credentials could see that. Ask him about Icetown sometime.

I am now far enough in Parks and Recreation to recognize the character on LarkoftheRiver's profile picture! I feel a strange, mystifying sense of discovery in this.

Once upon a time on a local RP board, a Sanderfan concocted a villainous character named Nighthound. Nighthound was so depraved, so sadistic, so universally despised, that the players of the RP took to repeating the sentence "And then Nighthound died" to themselves just to cope. Eventually other sadistic characters were concocted, and the tradition was expanded into a full list. The ATTD list, we called it--short for "And Then They Died." Ladies and gentlemen, this is your chance to get in on this fine tradition. In this thread we will assemble the absolute worst villains from the world of fiction, the villains who are so awful, so horrifically devious, that the reader can do nothing but hope and pray for the page that spells this character's untimely demise. We will assemble a list, so all may desire these villains' deaths as strongly as you do. I'll start by listing a character from The Algebraist, which I am currently reading. I'm not far into the book, but already I can tell the the Archimandrite Luceferous, warrior priest of the Starveling Cult of Leseum9IV, is a worthy addition. Six pages into the novel, during the Archimandrite's introduction scene, we learn that the Archimandrite had the severed head of a rebel leader named Stinausin kept alive by technological means, and then hung from the ceiling in his quarters to be used as a punchball whenever Luseferous is in a foul mood. View this passage describing the situation to see my case for Luseferous' entrance to the ATTD List. Your turn! Who are the absolute worst villains in your opinion? Remember to mark major spoilers, and to have fun... or as much fun is possible, with company like these afoot.

The sun rose over The Dalles, filtering into a tired Vondra's office. He stood facing a window with a mug of coffee in his hand, brow furrowed in a look of deep thought. "Rhonda," he said finally. "Clear my schedule. It's time I taught Skylar's redhead a thing or two about how we do things here." There ya go. Next Dalles post good and ready to go. More seriously, I think she should be fine working autonomously.
-
Such is the way of memes.
-
You wouldn't happen to be the person who entered this theory to the TV Tropes WMG page, would you? That's where I first read it.
-
My favorite fan theory about this episode is that the Doctor was actually summarizing Gallifreyan concepts of time and space that were so complex and beyond human comprehension that the TARDIS just translated it as "physics."
-
Onto business matters: which characters need my priority in The Dalles right now? I've gotten myself confused somewhere along the line.
-
That's ridiculous. I wasn't raised in this timeline to acquire upvotes in preparation of my destiny as president of the united human race! Why would you even think that?
-
Feel-good comic time!

In my defense, I'm fiercely devoted to the fandoms I'm a part of. I just don't pay much attention to the ones I don't particularly care for.

Your current avatar could work pretty nicely.

You know, that's a good question. I think the effects of the drug would probably be reflected, and in the same way lead poisoning from a bullet wound would be reflected along with the wound itself. (This itself raises other questions, like whether Deathwish can catch a cold or get cancer from smoking too much. ) This RP takes weeks, sometimes months, to cover a single conversation. Constant appearances by Neverthere would rob from time we could be spending developing Dalles relationships. It's not so much a matter of disrupting a narrative I'm concerned about so much as it is overstuffing the narrative.
-
You know, if he can goad Nighthound into taking an aggressive enough approach, Deathwish could probably manage to win a fight between them provided Nighthound's unaware of his PI. I dunno--as much as a Wit would be enjoyable, I've kind of been enjoying the bizarre situation in The Dalles, where the Epics are nominally slaves but keep rising above their proper station. And with as many new characters there are in the city, I think there'll be more than enough conflict and aggression between Reader, Deathwish, and the rest of them to keep the thread interesting. So while I'm not opposed to the idea per se, I don't think it's really necessary and we'd have to be careful not to let her derail the character conflicts that could actually bear fruit.

"Hello Ray, C4. Look at your man. Now back to me. Back to him. Now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me..."
-
"It it really that arrogant to make the logical assumption that you'll be in bed with me by the end of the night?" "Yes. Yes it is." "Oh."
-
Well alright then. Epic arrogance saves lives. So Game would probably be among quite a few doctors, though given his treatment thus far he'd probably be the most esteemed. Arsenal and Vondra might encourage him to start training new personnel, too.
-
Probably, unless Koschei made a point of slaughtering anyone else who could heal people of their wounds. Great posts everyone, by the way.
-
Really? Huh.
-
She knows, but is mildly irked by the amount of time I spend here. Artist's depiction of her reaction to my passing Brandon Sanderson.

Hello there, fellow farers of the world of fiction! Here lately I've been delving into the sea of fanfiction that the web's so full of, enjoying the stories crafted by fans such as myself. Sadly, Sturgeon's Law is in full effect--90% of everything is garbage. The Internet is rife with poorly written tales about Mary Sues and Gary Stus, with poor punctuation and terrible writing everywhere you look. This thread is for sharing the remaining 10% with others who might enjoy them. If there's a fanfiction you liked, share it here! Tell us what work it's based on and give a content advisory where applicable, but above all, simply share the fictions that made you enjoy the original work all the more. I'll start. Eclipse: Based on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Eclipse is a thrilling adventure story that explores the relationship between Celestia and Luna. It's filled with intriguing characters, touching moments, and spectacular pieces of worldbuilding and headcanon. The Keepers of Discord: Another MLP fic. This piece is an alternate universe story told from Discord's point of view, conscious and trapped in stone as he watches the ponies assigned to entertain him for all eternity. It's a surprisingly touching story. Rest in Chaos: What's this? Another MLP fic? And about Discord, no less? Yes, I confess to having a soft spot for the ol' spirit of chaos. This story is written as an official document: Discord's will, to be opened in the event of his untimely demise. I found it darkly humorous. A Bluer Shade of White: The one non-MLP story on my list, this Frozen fanfiction deconstructs Elsa's powers, exploring their extent, possible uses, and the ethics surrounding them. It's a lot more mature than the original movie, but there's nothing graphic. And if you're like me, the ending will leave you slack-jawed and giving a round of Internet applause. Anyone else have recommendations to share with us?

Probably not. She hasn't posted in ages, and I don't think she's been online at all since you joined the site.
