  Could this song be used in the Potter Step?

Sub the words describing  Harry Potter and you can almost see James Potter and Snape singing this duet:

  Doug's banned list

What sort of songs might Doug have acquired, and promptly decided to never use, unless it was a matter of life or death, or because it'd just be rude?

Everybody said, you better stay in school,Get a real job, boy, don't be a fool,Burn that guitar, you can never be a star,I can, I can, I can, so

A hundred thousand disbelievers couldn't keep me on the ground,I've invented a momentum that'll never slow me down,I believe it cause I feel it, and I shout it out loud,I can, I can, I can, so
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Power: could be useful as another inspirational song for the EVA step***************************************'Safe and Sound' by Capital Citieshttp://www.youtube.com/v/47dtFZ8CFo8&version=3 ... tube_gdata
I could lift you upI could show you what you want to seeAnd take you where you want to beYou could be my luckEven if the sky is falling downI know that we'll be safe and soundWe're safe and sound
I could fill your cupYou know my river won't evaporateThis world we still appreciateYou could be my luckEven in a hurricane of frownsI know that we'll be safe and sound
(Safe and sound)We're safe and sound(Safe and sound)We're safe and sound(Hold your ground)We're safe and sound(Safe and sound)
I could show you loveIn a tidal wave of mysteryYou'll still be standing next to meYou could be my luckEven if we're six feet undergroundI know that we'll be safe and soundWe're safe and sound
Safe and soundSafe and soundHold your groundSafe and sound
I could lift you upI could show you what you want to seeAnd take you where you want to beYou could be my luckEven if the sky is falling downI know that we'll be safe and sound
I could lift you upI could show you what you want to seeAnd take you where you want to beYou could be my luckEven if the sky is falling downI know that we'll be safe and sound
We're safe and soundWe're safe and soundWe're safe and soundWe're safe and sound
(Safe and sound)We're safe and sound(Safe and sound)We're safe and sound(Hold your ground)We're safe and sound(Safe and sound)We're safe and sound
Power: Essentially turns the area of Doug's AoE (at the start of the song) into a giant environmental shield/bubble.  Once established the bubble's location is fixed and won't move even if Doug does.  The feild is proof against virtually any environmental danger,  from collapsing buildings/cliffs/ect, to tsunamis, to vaccum of space, dangerous levels of radiation, and so on.
Once 'cast' the sheild is permanent until Doug cancels it or he exits the bubble, but he can't use any other song's power while the field is up.

  [RFC] [IMPORTANT!] Proposal for Major FenWiki Changes
Posted by: M Fnord - 10-24-2013, 04:27 PM - Forum: Fenspace - Replies (53)

Okay guys, this is an all hands on deck situation. If you're involved in Fenspace in any capacity I need your opinion on this.

I would like to move the fiction archives off of FenWiki. The MediaWiki format is not really suited for long-form fiction, as I'm sure most of us have noticed, and as the stories get longer the less suitable MediaWiki becomes for storing them. So I propose we move the stories offsite to an archive that's designed to handle fiction.

The pros are that the stories are easier to read, easier to find and (most importantly) easier for authors to upload from the forum. The big con is that we lose a measure of control over our work since we're not the ones maintaining the archive. I think that ease of access beats loss of control, but I don't know that, which is where you guys come in.

Is this something we should pursue? I have a plan of action that can be started if the Collective agrees to it, but before I start that up I want a consensus.

ETA: Just to be clear, based on current events should we decide to move the archives offsite we will not be moving to FFN.
