Re: Crack Pairings VI - We've Finally Stooped to Shipping Ourselves
I've noticed she's wearing Xykon's crown. Is this a good, evil, or neutral ending? I'm guessing not evil.
And a familiar might be just the thing to keep Tiasal sane during this mess.

And the thing about German is that it has four cases. I really don't think any language needs more than one. French has one (or none, from a certain POV), IIRC.

Re: Crack Pairings VI - We've Finally Stooped to Shipping Ourselves
I can’t believe that I accidentally left out Water-Smurf’s latest chapter of “Pawns of the Gods” in my description of what’s been happening. Please don’t take offense Water-Smurf, you’re an excellent writer, I must have missed it when I was skimming the last pages.
On a positive note, here is part 3 of “Allegiance”:
Spoiler
Show
Miko watched as the hordes of hobgoblins prepared for battle. She saw the catapults fire the elementals at the walls and how they were breached. “The walls have failed!” she cried. Then she noticed a red-clad figure dismissing the elementals. “It’s the elf from the Order of the Stick!” she exclaimed. Hinjo had clearly not understood her message. The Order were agents of the evil Xykon. They would aid Xykon in taking the city! They had to be stopped.
Hobgoblins and undead headed for the breaches. She had to aid in the city’s defense. “Nale, I’m heading to the walls!” she yelled and ran towards the opening. “Prepare for battle horde of evil!” she screeched as she drew her katana and wakizashi and ran into their midst. These soldiers were far below her level. She cut a path through them easily, but she was still being injured. After one such injury she heard a voice cry, “you hurt blue cape girl! thog like blue cape girl! thog rage!” A blur of green swept past her and dismembered limbs and heads went flying through the air. Thog was doing this for her. She felt touched but before she could do anything else, Xykon appeared over the wall, riding a dragon. After killing Sangwaan, his partner Greenhilt had jumped aboard. “Thog I’ve got to get into the city!” Miko yelled.
“thog come with you!” he replied. The breach was guarded by giant soldiers whom were picking off the hobgoblins as if they were nothing. At least that seemed to be working, but wait, next to the breach there was, …another Xykon? Some kind of demonic trickery was at work here. The other Xykon rode his undead steed through the breach and decapitated the soldiers. Her duty was clear.
By the time she cut her way though to the breach, only this Xykon and his minion, the wicked elf, were left. She had to avenge her people. “Smite evil!” she cried bringing down her katana onto his skull.
“Ow!” he yelled, “Ooh, a paladin. This will be good. And I see you’ve brought someone else with you. Excellent. More lives to slay.” Miko turned and saw Thog enter the breach. He was still fighting for her. She ran up to him and cried, “No, Thog! It’s too dangerous! This is my duty!”
“How touching.” sneered the Xykon near the elf.
“You are on first name terms with the idiot half-orc?” questioned the elf.
“None of your business, minion of evil!” snarled Miko.
“I find this highly ironic, yet I fail to appreciate it.” the elf commented. Suddenly a dragon’s head fell from the sky and crushed this Xykon. “A miracle from the twelve gods!” gasped Miko. “Now I only have to deal with you!” The elf was starring at the sky and said, “I believe that there are other problems of a more immediate concern.” before pointing up. Another Xykon was flying towards the castle. “He’s heading for the throne room!” gasped Miko and she ran after him.
“thog come with you!” came a voice from behind.
“Lord Shojo!” exclaimed O-Chul from the throne room, “How did you get here?”
“The prisons are destroyed.” answered Shojo, “It was easy to escape. I am not going to sit in prison while the gate is at risk. I am going to sit on my throne and if Xykon kills me, perhaps it will have delayed him a little and I don’t have much of a life left anyway, being an old man in prison. Now stand aside, all of you, so I can sit down.”
Miko was worried. The path that she had originally chosen through the castle was blocked by debris and they had to take another route. It had significantly delayed them. When they arrived at the throne room she saw the traitorous Lord Shojo covered in blood and surrounded by the bodies of dead paladins. O-Chul was poised to strike the gate but for some reason wasn’t moving. Then she heard the voice of Xykon. They were defeated! “Thog, smash the gem in the throne, now!” she ordered. “No, don’t Miko!” groaned the obviously critically wounded Shojo, but Thog’s axe swing through the air and hit its mark. Light. Color. Sound. There were too many sensations. She was flying through the air. She hit the ground. The pain was everywhere.
Part 4 should be coming soon. I just have to decide whether this is enough to Spoiler
Show
make Miko fall, or whether I should leave that for excessive “associating” with evil. Either way it will be soon. Eh, I’ll probably just go with the one that’s better for my plot.
Incidentally, I haven’t shipped myself yet, I’m thinking that I should before the 7th thread. It will be difficult to write myself IC in a romantic situation but oh well.

Nah its just BADDASS! Just stick it on ANYTHING! BADDASS!
But seriosly this is a Neutral Good Ending. The Crown Is just kinda Cute. Plus thi is to sorta wash away the evils of the previose wearer.
Whenever I draw a pic I come up with a story along with it, like the evil Tiasal
"Hmmmm why would she be wearing Xycons crown....Because she killed him with a Disrupting Weapon of course! Hmmm why are her eyes mismatching....Because she went partialy insane with confusion that is! Who skull is it on top of her staff....Xycon? Nah Boring...I know Reddy cause Xycon commanded her to kill him"
Also the menacing snarl on her face was actualy natural because of her pionty teeth
So I cant "Just Draw" I usualy come up with something.
I didnt want the dress to be revealing (Maybe its inheratence:smallbiggrin:) so its just a plain old dress. Thanks for the comments!

HaleyxMyself
*I awake with my head and body on fire. I wince in pain as I bring my hands to my face, surprised to feel a tight bandage wrapped around my head. I can hear footsteps on the sand*
"Oh, you are awake! Thank the Gods. You were a mess when I found you."
*That voice sounded so light, so smooth. I heard the person drop what sounded like arrows as she stooped down next to me. I felt her hands on my forehead.*
Me: W-Where am I? Why do I have this on me?
"Um...yah...your eyes were pretty much destroyed. V healed as much as she could. You're in my tent in the middle of the desert of the Western Continent. What happened out there?"
Me: The last thing I remember was that worm-
"Wait! Was it huge and purple?"
Me: Maybe, why?
"Because that's what we were using to get here...oh crap."
Me: *before she speaks* It's okay. I'm pretty sure you didn't mean to unleash the worm on me.
"Ugh! It doesn't change the fact that we indirectly blinded you. See, this is what happens when we forget about the NPCs! Dammit!"
Me: Can I have some water, missus...
:haley: Call me Haley. *she gives me water, which I drink gratefully* I take it you're a warrior?
Me: Yeah. I'm a member of the Order of the Thorn.
:haley: Order of the Thorn?
Me: Yeah, just founded last week in a village in "Empire of Blood".
:haley: Then what were you doing all the way down here?
Me: I wanted to see if there were ancient ruins buried here. Being a scout, I set out on my own...then that worm came.
:haley: Wow...and we, the Order of the Stick, screwed that up.
Me: *laughs* Don't worry. What are you doing out here, Haley?
:haley: Well, it's a long story, best to take it with our party leader, Roy. Here.
*She helps me up and gives me a stick*
Me: Lead on, Haley!

Well, what else than just do it? I know of no people more feminist than me, but it's just having fun. It's not as if guys couldn't do the same thing. So if you are concerned about gender equality, well just do one of the other sex (and let the girls, and Joan, go squee).
I did one, and if Raging Gene Ray wants to review it (which he did and approved)...

Oh, BTW Coffee there was another reason Radic started crying. You see, she did not understand that the young man didn't understand... she thought just drinking tea was a nice way of saying "You're ugly, so I don't want to have sex with you." Which is a horrible thing to say to a girl (boys get used to it.)

Re: Crack Pairings VI - We've Finally Stooped to Shipping Ourselves
Alright, I've finally caught up with what I missed on the last thread.
@Closak: Your fascination with the ABD continues to reach more and more bizarre heights of...disturbance with your newest piece. ...Good job?
@ShinyDelusion: I loved the Nale/Sabine story, as usual. Keep it up, my good man.
@Sereg: I love what you're doing with the Miko/Thog story. Incredibly entertaining.
@Water-Smurf: The new chapter of Pawn of the Gods is fantastic. I like how well you've been able to give personality to a character who's only appeared for a few brief panels like Mijung. That shows some real talent.
@Eztheria: Nice plans. I call one of the soundproofed music rooms. One of those rooms is mine.

One thing Russian had going for it was that it was easy to tell which gender a noun was.

On the bright side, a C grade is still a pass, and a GSCE in a foreign language is still worth having.

My Mom made me take a foreign language as well. Our discussion went something like this:
Mom: I'm signing you up for Spanish III.
Me: ... I haven't taken Spanish I or II.
Mom: ... You haven't? Well, you'll figure it out. You're pretty smart, right?
Me: :smalleek:
And yet, I am getting the highest grade in the class. Which is really odd, because about half of my classmates speak Spanish fluently.

Suggestion for thread title: I am Holding an Elf by the Ears
(from Latin proverb - Auribus Teneo Lupum - if someone could translate it to Latin it would be even better. According to WikiAnswers, Latin for Elf is nympha, which is certainly appropriate for this thread.)
Auribus Teneo Nympham?

His allies were all dying around him, Redcloak could do nothing but look on in despair. “hey, why don't you help me instead of just standing there you moron?” Xykon asked in his guttural undead voice. Redcloak would honestly be relieved if Xykon died at this point, but his comrades, jirix they were all dying and the adventuring group from the dungeon of Dorukan were killing them as well as Xykon. Redcloak actually couldn't believe it. The adventurer's were somehow hurting Xykon could they possibly...... “Redcloak! Healing now! Or at least kill one of these guys! Preferably blueplate!” “It's Greenhilt you undead Bastard!” The warrior said as he brought an especially powerful blow down upon the Lich's skull. Redcloak thought about it and realized the best way to get out of this, and they might even live. “Disintegrate!” He cried pointing his finger at Xykon and the Lich turned into a pile of dust. “we surrender!” redcloak shouted and held his hands up. Upon seeing this the hobgoblins followed suit and dropped their weapons. The leader of the group, a mister “greenhilt” came up to redcloak, his blade still out and said “why should we trust you?” Redcloak pulled off his holy symbol and handed it to the human. “here's Xykon's phylactery. Destroy it, make sure he doesn't come back.” Roy took the symbol quizzically and said “you still havent' explained why we should let you go.” Redcloak looked into his eyes and said “ I started this plan in order to give my race a fair shake. We've been used as nothing more than xp for you humans to level up. Instead of helping my race I've been killing them. I'm sick of it, I'm sick of all the people I care about dying around me. I'm done with the plan.” he says as he takes off his cloak and hands it to the fighter. “here. Take it. I can do my Job of making life better for goblins in other ways that involve less death.” There was a long pause as Roy contemplated what to do and then Haley spoke up “he's not lying Roy, I can tell” “are you sure?” Haley paused and said “I'm sure.” “Fine” Roy said and tossed the phylactery on the ground as he drew his sword back, bringing it down and cleaving the symbol in two. “we're done here. Lets go” The human who's name was apparently Roy said and everybody on his side started leaving. After they left one of the hobgoblins came up and asked him “what are we going to do now master?” Redcloak thought for a minute. Back to the day when Xykon found him again and remembered right eye's house. “I think we should start making peace with humans rather than war. Other than that, I need to go home.”
Redcloak left, never to return to Azure city. He went back to where his brother's family had died and looked around. The skeletons of his brother's family were still there along with several others that had lived in the village. “well, guess I should get started” he said and began burying the bones.

What we think is going on, or what might happen?
V and Reddy get separated, possibly just after Reddy finds out she's pregnant. While he's running around trying to find her, he bumps into someone. Possibly Aandy if none of the rest of the order are available. Together they fight crime find Vaarsuvius.
This is without factoring in what's happening with the Order getting kidnapped etc, since I have no idea where that's going. :smalltongue:

I just realized something...Alex has changed the color of the family sword in order to match his outfit. And he chose his outfit to impress the daughter of Elan by looking like his puppet god.
I wonder how Roy feels about this. He's probably tolerating it, but definitely not happy about it.

I have not posted much on these forums and I only created an account recently, and I certainly have not read many of the fanfics here.

Back to the day when Xykon found him again and remembered right eye's house. “I think we should start making peace with humans rather than war. Other than that, I need to go home.”
Redcloak left, never to return to Azure city. He went back to where his brother's family had died and looked around. The skeletons of his brother's family were still there along with several others that had lived in the village. “well, guess I should get started” he said and began burying the bones.
part 1
Yeah, I probably suck at writing these.
I think when you copied it into the forum your paragraph structure got destroyed. Would you (or anyone else) mind parsing that a bit? I got about five lines in before my eyes tried to stage a revolt. What I did read intrigued me, but I just can't go on like that. :smallfrown:

Re: Crack Pairings VI - We've Finally Stooped to Shipping Ourselves
gosh: Welcome to the thread! As long as you familiarize yourself with Eztheria's floor plan, you should be fine.
Apologies for the recent lack of work, I've had serious writer's block. Anyone have suggestions?

Re: Crack Pairings VI - We've Finally Stooped to Shipping Ourselves
Thank you! I just might end up posting my own crack fanfic, though whether I'll come up with anything original is yet to be seen.

I wonder how Roy feels about this. He's probably tolerating it, but definitely not happy about it.
Why not only have Alex do some small Prestigitation, just to have some color painted in a non-permanent way on the hilt? He's a multiclass wizard, after all. (Indeed, at worst, I had pictured Alex only placing some cloth of the right color on the hilt. It's not that difficult either way.)
As for the feeling of Roy, he probably would understand the reasons pretty well. He did clean up for her own damsel, Celia. (And he got his best night from that.) But I'm pretty sure Alex and Joan would keep the whole thing for private actions only. Banjo, on the other hand, would sure feel pleased by all this.
No girl commented on the fanservice though; I thought I'd get, well, more reactions than zero :smalltongue:

I'll try and do it tomorrow. If anybody else wants to they can.
I just feel a bit tired and depressed tonight. Hopefully I can get something going tomorrow. maybe I'll edit it and try and make it somewhat better. the only problem is, I know if I think about it too much I'll hate it and it'll never get up here.

Don't get the wrong idea. What I read was good. The only problem was that it's in one massive block. Don't think for a second I was criticizing the quality of the work itself.

yeah, it's not you, it's my cousins. they're just kind of annoying and that, stacked with not being able to get answers to things and not being able to watch anything I enjoy watching because there were little kids in the room and NOBODY CLOSING THAT DANG DOOR
*breathes*
okay. I feel slightly better.

Re: Crack Pairings VI - We've Finally Stooped to Shipping Ourselves
More good fics and pics.
@Nathander Thanks for the compliment, I look forward to the next chapter of “Orphans”.
@Gosh Welcome.
Alright, the promised part 4 of “Allegiance”:
Spoiler
Show
Miko groaned and tried to get up. It was difficult so she placed her hands on her stomach and muttered, “Lay on hands.” Above her was the transparent image of Soon Kim.
“Miko,” he said, “I cannot stay for long, but I must warn you. You have been treated leniently by the twelve gods due to your ignorance. This will not last for much longer. Unless you give up your ridiculous vendetta against The Order of the Stick and realize your mistakes so that you can pursue your true duty to your people and fight your true enemies you will fall.”
“But the Order are servants of the evil Xykon!” cried Miko.
“If you refuse to listen to reason and reexamine your judgments, Miko,” answered Soon, “then I cannot help you.” With that, he faded away.
After she had pondered Soon’s warning, she noticed a green body lying on the ground. His axe had wedged into his shoulder in addition to his wounds that were similar to those that she had received. She pulled out the axe and placed her hands upon him. “Lay on hands.” she said.
“blue cape girl make me feel good.” said Thog happily. Before they could do anything else, Nale arrived, riding on a bear followed quickly by Sabine and Pompey. After Nale dismounted, the bear transformed into Leeky. “We’ve been looking all over for you.” said Nale, “What is that?” He indicated a large purple anomaly in the sky.
“That is the rift.” answered Miko, “It was released when we destroyed the gate to stop Xykon from controlling it.” Nale thought for a minute.
“Are there other gates?” he asked.
“Yes.” answered Miko.
“Will Xykon try to get to one of those?” Nale asked.
“Probably,” answered Miko, “he can’t use this gate to release the abomination anymore so he’ll probably try somewhere else. When he does, we’ll have to stop him.”
“Honey,” said Sabine suddenly, “may I speak to you for a second?”
“Alright.” said Nale and they disappeared around a corner. After a couple of minutes, Nale returned alone. “Sabine had to stop off home.” he announced.
“I don’t understand…” began Miko.
“Don’t worry about it.” said Nale, “The city has fallen. They’re evacuating in ships right now. We’ll go to the next gate to take on Xykon and The Order there.”
“But if they’re evacuating,” said Miko, “shouldn’t I be aiding my people either in the evacuation or here in the city?”
“No,” answered Nale, “as you said, The Order must be stopped, and this is the best way to do it.”
“Alright.” said Miko and they headed out of the city.
I wanted to make it longer, but I have to check some stuff first. Part 5 should be coming soon. After that I may switch to something else, or work on it and something else at the same time. I’ll see. I may end up doing my promised selfshipping. If I do it would be easiest with Tsukiko, but we’ll see.

You know, its very nice, But where did the bear come from? Wouldnt it be Infernal if it where summoned?
Oh and Gosh....Have a great time, I hope to seeing you become one of us as we make brainbleach and Break universal laws together. Have Fun!
As for Watersurf: Are my Good/evil Pics too stereotyped? And Stop Saying "Maybe" It just is a 90% it will happen thing. Do not become the Next Nintendo, Is the Wii 2 coming out...."Maybe":smalltongue:. Just I noticed the trend you say "It sounds like" or Maybe" and they usualy come true.
And if you say "Nay that is nothing but Falsenesss" I Will decapitate my head immediatly. Its just realy annoying but, it leaves us on a tipping piont where we believe that it will happen but a tiny bit of us holds back and when it does happen that tiny bit dies....:smallfrown:.
Dark Fiddler Your right, it was sarcasm forgot to add smileys
As for angst I can almost smell the Batman Music. DODOODODODODODO Angstman!

I don't like speaking for people, but you aren't the Water-Smurf or Nintendo and you don't know what will happen in the stories or if there will even be a Wii 2.

That is an opinion, and because of that it is impossible to give an absolute answer. Furthermore, very few people have very singular mindsets. Part of them can believe one thing while another part believes another. So, if someone's trying to be COMPLETELY honest, they will use indefinite language.
And I don't think they're stereotyped. If they were described that way in a story, I would think so, but when you only have one panel to tell a whole story, stereotypical symbols that people will recognize are definitely the way to go.

Um...it's YOUR story and YOUR the one being shipped. That's not something I'd leave up to anybody.
But you asked for it:
CoffeIncluded/Daigo/Kazumi
or just CoffeeIncluded/Daigo...but jealous Kazumi should be there.
