I just happened to stumble across an old thread in General/General that was entirely about AMVs and decided to move it here. Nothing else is new at the moment. Except this message.

"Flan on!" -- The battlecry of the Human Dessert

Just so folks don't go "wha...?" I stumbled across an old AMV thread in the General/General area and moved it over to the AMV forum. It's a dead thread, and predates the forum, but since it was on-topic, I figured, what the hey.

No, really I was just joking! ^_^
Hi! I'm Elsa Bibat and since you've obviously been
talking about me behind my back, I think I actually
have a reputation on the forum. ^_^
I'm a fanfic author, though a bit lapsed, and have
been a reader since the age five when I finished
the Encyclopedia Brittanica in a the space of a year.
I'm also an aspiring professional author though my works
still keep slipping through the cracks. I'm also a
qualified Literary Scholar(TM) and my claims to fame are
my literary dissertations in the realm of popular fiction,
but I'm most proud that one of my more non-serious
works got on the international directory reference for
Lesbian works in Germany. ^_^
I've been a big fan of DW since I read Chapter Five and
I still owe Bob a review of Chapter 13.
So see you on the forum!

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

Well, I saved ths review, and sent a copy to my prereaders for them to see. What do you suppose that says about my opinion on it?
Seriously, I appreciate all reviews, good or bad. Thank you for writing one.
[Groovy. Though I don't want you to think it's a bad review, in that I think that your story was bad (or that I did a rotten job of reviewing it, either . . .) cause I quite liked it.]

I generally read it, say nice things about it, and then post it on my website for other folks to see. Good enough?
[Cool. So do I post it here or email it to you or post it on the FFML or what? It's kind of longish, and I'm not sure if this Board can handle it or not.]

"I hate you and I despise you"-Sgt. Sagara Sousuke to his rugby team

Um, hey again. It's me.
Sure been a long time, huh. Well, no real reason why I've been gone for a while. School, general burnout from life, what have you. But I'm back, and I'm back with a vengeance, as the old saying goes.
First up, a review of DW II:13 I did for the FFML. So read, discuss, hate me or not:
MURMUR: Hello, and welcome to the first BABYLON REVIEW, wherein we review various fanfics that catch our fancy. With me today are CLAUS BARCA and LAVI HEAD. Welcome.
CLAUS: Hi.
LAVI: Hey. So, which fic are we starting with?
MURMUR: Good question, Lavi-chan!
LAVI: Hey!
MURMUR: Well, the first fic up for review is Robert M. Shroeck's DRUNKARD'S WALK II: ROBOT'S RULES OF ORDER, chapter 13. And, Claus, why don't you give us the heads up on this series?
CLAUS: Oh! Um, okay. Well, uh. Hmm. Oh, okay! Our protagonist, Doug Sangnoir, is a "metahuman operative" from a world filled with super-people, who all act like comicbook heroes and villains but don't really call themselves that. Think about the WILD CARD series and you're halfway there. Anyway, Doug, also known as Loony Toons, is travelling through world after world, trying to get home. This is his second Walk, which takes place in the BGC world.
MURMUR: Some of the more salient points in this fic is that the author makes a conscious effort to stay away from the cliches of SI fics. So there's no hope of our hero getting into a romantic relationship with any of the Knight Sabers. Frankly, there's little chance of them actually liking him.
LAVI: I really like how he's really built up the secondary, and even tertiary characters from the series and made them more three-dimensional. Lisa Vanette and Katherine Madigan are two very good examples, really.
MURMUR: Good point. Of course, the wacky scientists that Doug has found himself working with are all orignal characters, but they fit pretty well with the rest of the cast. Anyway, this chapter, we have the aftermath of the lopsided battle between the Knight Sabers and reasonable simulacra of the Warriors (Doug's superhero team). Nene struggles with the moral questions that Doug brought up, as do most of the rest of the Sabers to greater or lesser degrees. And the question comes up: who exactly is Quincy, anyway?
LAVI: Doug realizes that he's been acting like a complete shmuck for the last few chapters, and resolves to make amends as soon as it is convient.
CLAUS: And Priss and Leon's relationship take leap forward.
MURMUR: So, thoughts, comments?
LAVI: Well, like I said, I really like how he's built up Lisa and Katherine, especially their strange relationship with each other. I particularly liked Lisa's thoughts on Katherine. She knows that Katherine does evil things, and she's not blind to it, but she also appreciates that Katherine has more facets to her. It's that kind of sophisticated characterization that makes this such a good series.
CLAUS: On the other hand, Doug is getting to be more and more of a guest-star in his own series. I think the majority of the chapter was devoted to the Knight Sabers and other characters rather than Doug.
LAVI: Which isn't a bad thing, you know. I mean, he hasn't been exactly sympathetic for a while now. He's never once come up against a physical threat that he hasn't rather handily beaten with one mega-powerful super power after the other. The worst thing that's ever happened to him is that he's been scolded! I think that it would be better, dramatically speaking, if the Knight Sabers become the protagonists and Doug becomes the antagonist. Not that that's likely to happen.
MURMUR: Interesting point, Lavi-chan. While Doug may be grating at times, and certainly you're right that within the context of this "Walk" he has yet to face any real difficulties, he is, as is the case of most successful SI fics, a compelling character with a unique voice.
LAVI: Sorry. I'm just finding less and less interest in Doug's "plight." There's just not enough dramatic tension for me there.
MURMUR: Well, that might change as soon as we find out more about Quincy. It was hinted at that . . . whoops, sorry. No spoilers here. So, overall, I thought that it was a good episode. The compelling characters made up for the fact that not much happened.
LAVI: Doug's still a shmuck, but he's getting a bit better. So it was all right.
CLAUS: Um. Yeah. I agree, see.

If someone can answer this right away, I'd be very grateful: Does Sailor Moon SuperS use "Moonlight Densetsu" as its opening music?
Thanks!

"Flan on!" -- The battlecry of the Human Dessert

When he's in a post-game-ending depression. Powers from these are left to your suggestion.

"Mother Dawn" by Billy Idol
Hold me, hold me
Breathe the light into me
Hold me, hold me
Mother dawn
Mother dawn
Dancing 'round the fire
Circling the flame
Listen to the shadows calling out my name
They say
Rock me like a baby
Cradle me in the light
Bathe me in a rainbow
Sun restore my sight
Hold me, hold me
Breathe the light into me
Hold me, hold me
Mother dawn (All night long yeah)
Hold me, hold me
Breathe the light into me (All night long yeah)
Hold me, hold me
Mother dawn
Look into the light
Come and take a journey through the land of night
Darkness strokes the face and
Steals away the sight
Night is all around me
Stars are in my hair
I feel them tangled in the secrets we'll
Find hidden there all right
Reaching through the madness
To the other side
Where the sun is rising
With her arms held wide
Hold me, hold me
Breathe the light into me
Hold me, hold me
Mother dawn (All night long yeah)
(Till the dawn light comes)
Hold me, hold me
Breathe the light into me (All night long yeah)
Hold me, hold me
Mother dawn (All night long)
(I know you're gonna love me)
(I know you're gonna love me)
One star flew against the tapestry of the night
And the earth revolved in perfect symmetry
To a symphony of sun
The moon danced its final bow
As the birth of day
Exploded
In my eyes
Reaching through the madness
To the other side
Where the sun is rising
With her arms held wide
Rock me like a baby
Cradle me in light
You're gonna bathe me in a rainbow
And the sun restore my sight
Hold me, hold me
Breathe the light into me
Hold me, hold me
Mother dawn
Hold me, hold me (All night long yeah)
Breathe the light into me
(Till the dawn light comes yeah)
Hold me, hold me (All night long yeah)
Mother dawn (I know you're gonna love me yeah)
I know you're
Gonna love me
All night long yeah
Till the dawn light comes
All night long yeah
I know you're gonna love me love me
All night long yeah
Till the dawn light comes
All night long yeah
I know you're gonna love me love me
Mother dawn

"The Rain" by Garrity
I didn't even think about the rain
No, I didn't even think about the snow
The falls down in the middle of march
Didn't even think about the plans, trains, cars, one hit
wonder movie
Stars
And I, didn't think about the rain
She dreams a dream of of walkin' on a wire
She seems to me to be a little bit tired she's got her
hands over her eyes
I'm afraid I can't believe that her and I fall away from
the building where we stood I wouldn't change a minute
if I could
I didn't even think about the rain
No, I didn't even think about the snow
The falls down in the middle of march
Didn't even think about the plans, trains, cars, one hit
wonder movie stars
And I, didn't think about the rain
And you're in my mind
I'm not afraid of falling
And you're in my mind
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I didn't know if you thought very much of me
I didn't know if you cared if I'd fallen apart push me out,
pull me in, stick me anywhere
And I didn't know what she thought from the start
She thought from the start
And you're in my mind
I'm not afraid of falling
And you're in my mind
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I didn't even think about the rain
No, I didn't even think about the snow
The falls down in the middle of march
Didn't even think about the plans, trains, cars,
One hit wonder movie stars
And I, didn't think about the rain
Rain falling rain...
Didn't think about the rain...

"Laugh Out Loud" by Garrity
Forget who you were, that's all they say to him,
Hey, just wanna be friends, just wanna be livin'
life better now. Stand where you are, pose for the photograph.
You better keep still, don't crack a smile and don't...
Laugh out loud (laugh out)
You're not think' straight today - you better not
Laugh out loud (laugh out)
'cause there must be a better way
Give what you got, wait for the right time.
Maybe you gotta wait long, maybe you don't though.
Give what you dot, give it all to the other half.
Maybe you gotta wait long but don't crack a smile and don't...
Laugh out loud (laugh out)
You're not think' straight today - you better not
Laugh out loud (laugh out)
'cause there must be a better way
Inside a room, standing on my head again.
Better not fall behind, better not take another chance.
Lie on the bed, look up to the roof again.
Stnad still and don't crack a smile and you better not...
Laugh out loud (laugh out)
You're not think' straight today - you better not
Laugh out loud (laugh out)
'cause there must be a better way
You better not laugh out loud (laugh out)
You're not thinkin' straight
You're not thinkin' straight
You better not laugh out loud...

It's the change of the seasons, and that means CafePress offers various new items (and takes away a few, too). I've ducked in and set up a few new things, including a Duelists' Christmas ornament. Feel free to check them out, and maybe buy something. C'mon, you need that Mandeville Memorial T-shirt!
