This area is for any discussion of fanfiction written by people other than me -- people like EPU, Foxboy or Chris Angel, for instance. Announcements, links, reviews, recommendations, savage critiques, long-winded debates on relative merits are all welcome here.

Arbiter:
I've a duty as the referee
At the start of the match
On behalf of all our sponsors
I must welcome you
Which I do -- there's a catch
I don't care if you're a champion
No one messes with me
I am ruthless in upholding
What I know is right
Black or white -- as you'll see
I'm on the case
Can't be fooled
Any objection
Is overruled
Yes, I'm the Arbiter and I know best

Chorus:
He's impartial, don't push him, he's unimpressed

Arbiter:
You got your tricks
Good for you
But there's no gambit
I don't see through
Oh, I'm the Arbiter, I know the score

Chorus:
From square one he'll be watching all sixty-four

Arbiter:
If you're thinking of the kind of thing
That we've seen in the past
Chanting gurus, walkie-talkies
Walkouts, hypnotists,
Tempers, fists -- not so fast
This is not the start of World War Three
No political ploys
I think both your constitutions are terrific so
Now you know -- be good boys
I'm on the case
Can't be fooled
Any objection
Is overruled
Yes, I'm the Arbiter and I know best

Chorus:
He's impartial, don't push him, he's unimpressed

Arbiter:
You got your tricks
Good for you
But there's no gambit
I don't see through
Oh, I'm the Arbiter, I know the score

Chorus:
From square one he'll be watching all sixty-four

Arbiter:
Yes, I'm the Arbiter, I know the score

Chorus:
From square one he's watching all sixty-four

With the presence of Foxboy, Chris Angel, Mephron (under his other handle which I can't remember), and Jeanne (at the very least), along with the great overlap here with EPU's fandom, the thought occurred to me that having a forum for discussing other people's fanfiction would be a useful thing. Opinions, please?

Some of these would be crazy to use but...
"She Drives like Crazy" by Weird Al
"Keep Rockin' in the Free World"
and that Break Away song used in Sympathy for the Devil, possibly a gate song.

you know i wos thinking about bugs and how he would have appeared in the warriors world...
now i was thinking about the difference in views here and there and i think that here we would see bugs pulling out disguises and weapons out of thin air and go 'hey its a cartoon'
over there it would probably get people going oh hes probably got some funky power that allows him to carry all that stuff and weapons. like perhaps a walking pocketspace ability? or is able to manifest the weapons for a brief period?
interesting how reality shapes what is perceived as normal ^^

...in Shapeshifters, one I'm not responsible for. If you've got the book, you know that every page has a little grey silhouette of a man, a wolfman, or something in between. Only recently did I discover that these are arranged such that the pictures are a "flipbook" animation, that can be run for either left or right-hand pages.

I'm Geoff Depew.
If you know the Eyrie Boards, I'm Mephron, contributor, Usual Suspect, Transformers consultant, dialogue maker and breaker, and general malcontent.
(Gryph once said to me, "Geoff, sometimes you come up with the most amazing dialogue for a character, that fits absolutely perfectly. Other times, you miss like Khan Noonian Singh. ")
So, um, hi.Brazil has decided you're cute.

What oddball/funny songs does Doug have in his helmet?
Something like "Springtime for Hitler" from "The Producers?"
And what fun can you _not_ have with Frank Zappa?
Or how about "Rabbit Valley" by the Four Postmen?

Hello, I'm the Foxboy who's authoring "I Was a Teenage Dummy Plug."
Just spotted this forum while trying to shatter my writer's block, and noticed a reference to IWATDP.
That said, I'll say that DW II is one of the better semi-self-inserts I've read so far...
Any how, I'll prolly make a few random posts here and there every now and then.
Thanks for your time and effort.

I'm not sure if this ones been brought up before

The Creatures - Godzilla!
I never wanted a spinning top
I used to swing a riding crop
I never wanted a stupid doll
I used to swing a tomahawk
And then I saw him and I was won
Godzilla, King Kong
Godzilla
He trashes cars
Godzilla
He's not from Mars
He'll knock you down
Godzilla
He eats big towns
I like the way he jumps up and down
I like the way he shakes the ground
He's even better when he's annoyed
He breaths out fire and makes this noise
I'd like to hold him in my arms
I'd never let him come to harm
Godzilla
He trashes cars
Godzilla
He's not from Mars
Godzilla
He'll knock you down
Godzilla
He eats big towns

Godzilla
Ha
Godzilla
Ha
What is that?
What is this?
A giant Monster
But he's so sweet!
When I'm in Tokyo or Japan
I'm always thinking its his land
The other toys are second best
Godzilla, I love him best
Godzilla
He trashes cars
Godzilla
He's not from Mars
Godzilla
He'll knock you down
Godzilla
He eats the towns
Godzilla
He trashes cars
Godzilla
He's not from Mars
Godzilla
He'll knock you down
Godzilla
He eats big towns
