After finding a snippet from E Nomine as the random quote on the main page the other day and then having sweno link Mary Sue's Theme with an E Nomine song in his sig, I got to think.
Could there be a power in there somwhere? Aside from the language barrier of having even the few translated songs still be half in Latin there is also the problem that most of their songs have Christian references and bible quotes. It has already been made clear that religious themes might be a bit problematic so things like E Nomine's version of the Lord's Prayer are probably out. Although it does sound really cool.
A few songs that are not based on biblical stuff are using themes from older other religions and mythologies instead and would be just as bad, but there are some songs that don't call upon any gods.

I've googled but unfortunately, I've forgotten both the author and the title of the story.
It's basically an original fic roughly based on System Shock featuring a hacker who removes the ethics and moral limitations on SHODAN and wakes up to find the entire station deserted and trashed. Sort of cyber punk, sort of horror/mystery/Resident Evil vibes. I think it might have been recced on this board a long long time ago.
Anyone remember this?

I didn't notice until today, when I wanted to go and make archives of the many, amny bookmarked fics from FanFiction.net, because the author profile pages don't display properly on my PSP anyway, but even on the desktop machine, in Safari and IE both all I can see is the C2 panel below the author's profile, not their fics, friends, or reccomendations. Is anyone else having this problem? Has it been that way for long? Fic listings from C2s or fandom listings are fine, but that doesn't help when all my bookmarks are to profile pages...

ETA: Firefox and Camino don't even get the profile page, just an FFN server error message - even though I loaded it again in between each attempt in both IE and Safari! SERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?

I'd like to re-read the "Puck Files" (I'm pretty sure that's what it was called). Written by (Darren Steffler, I think) the author of that over-powered self-insertion cross-over fan fic "Twisted Path."
It was a about a highschool student who woke up one morning to discover he was one of a fraction of a percentage of the population who had suddenly developed super powers.

I don't really remember any details, except that in a typical 5-6yr/o-kill-the-demon-brat fanon mob attack, Naruto got his eyes put out, and the Kyuubi grew him a new pair roughly equivalent to Byakugan trading 360-vision for being always on without noticable chakra consumption. Naruto wears dark goggles, an bandanna, or his hitae-ate (after graduating) over them so as not to freak people out even more... I think it was pretty good, but I don't really remember. Probably from a year or two ago.

I'm going to be offline soon for an indefinate period - I know I've said it before but really really - and I really need if not a scene at least a guideline as to how Neshan would go about his discussion with Kakashi for TXY. This would be after the bit with Tenten but before the actual fights with Sakura - and unbeknownst to either of them, Sandaiame-sama was on one of his periodic walkabouts and happens to overhear. (How? He's the *Hokage*, if he can't put one over on his subordinates something's

I wasn't going to mention this, until robkelk suggested Van Halen's Jump as a song which should be thoroughly off limits, since it'd induce suicide in everyone around. This one belongs in the same category, except that it's targeted to one person. Ruthlessness or no, I think triggering suicide is a bit too mean-spirited for Doug.
Musical: Oklahoma
Song: Pore Jud Is Daid

Curly: Pore Jud is daid,
Pore Jud Fry is daid,
All gather 'round his cawfin now and cry
He had a heart of gold
And he wasn't very old
Oh why did such a feller have to die?
Pore Jud is daid
Pore Jud Fry is daid,
He's lookin' oh so peaceful and serene
Jud: And serene!
Curly: He's all laid out to rest
With his hands acrost his chest
His fingernails have never been so clean!
(Spoken) Then the preacher'd get up and he'd say:
(Chanting) Folks, we are gathered here to moan and groan over our brother Jud Fry,
who hung hisself up by a rope in his smokehouse
(Spoken) Then there'd be weepin' and wailin'... from some of those women. Then he'd say:
(Chanting) Jud was the most misunderstood man in this here territory.
People used to think he was a mean ugly feller and they called
him a dirty skunk and an ornery pig stealer
(Sung) But the folks that really knowed him.
(Chant) Knowed that beneath them two dirty shirts he always wore
(Sung) There beat a heart as big as all outdoors
Jud: As big as all outdoors.
Curly: Jud Fry loved his feller man
Jud: He loved his feller man
Curly (Spoken): He loved the birds of the air and the beasts of the field.
He loved the mice and the vermin in the barns, and he treated
the rats like equals, which was right. And he loved little children.
He loved everybody and everything in the whole world!
Only he never let on, so nobody ever knowed it.
(Sung) Pore Jud is Daid
Pore Jud Fry is daid
His friends'll weep and wail for miles around
Jud: Miles Around!
Curly: The daisies in the dell
will give out a different smell
Because Pore Jud is underneath the ground.
Jud: Pore Jud is daid
A Candle lights his haid
He's layin' in a cawfin made of wood
Curly: Wood...
Jud: And folks are feelin' sad
Cause they useter treat him bad
But now they know their friend is gone for good
Curly: Good..
Both: Pore Jud is Daid; a candle lights his haid!
Curly: He's lookin' oh so purty and so nice
He looks like he's asleep,
It's a shame that he won't keep
But it's summer and we're running out of ice.
Both: Pore Jud, Pore Jud.
My favorite line in this has always been, "and he treated the rats like equals, which was right."
