Re: A lawsuit waiting to happen... - nemonowan - 12-19-2006
The most loyal minions of the Dark Lord...
The Black Riders that patrol his Kingdom of England...
Chosen by thestrals, granted unique powers by their bond,
They enforce their master's will on muggle and wizard both...
They are...
The Heralds of Voldemort!

Just keep in mind, in regards to Team 8, that a number of the characterizations are decidedly non-canon.-- This message brought to you by Ely Lilly, makers of SeraFem: Happy Pills for PMS.

*nodnod*
Yes, Team 8 and Soul Voice are both very distinctly AU, but...
They have clearly defined points of divergence, and, given those points, carry the characters in directions consistent with their presentation in canon.
See, in Naruto canon, our title character is assigned to Team 7, under Hatake Kakashi and in company with Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke. The characterisations of the latter three presented in Team 8... aren't unfair, really, but, due to the nature of its divergence, show only a fraction of their personalities. Soul Voice is another AU of equally tremendously cool quality, which focuses on Sakura and gives her her due as a character and as a person.
There's almost certainly a third fic out there that gives equal insight into the last of the three core characters of the franchise, but, alas, I haven't read it yet and so can't give a reccomendation. ^_^

Actually, that's not the divergance for Team 8, and those are by no means the only characters who have been impacted. Are you part of the author's Yahoo group?

Suiren is another amazing Sakura piece, and does some wonderful things with her character.

Re: I Like. - Evil Midnight Lurker - 12-23-2006
Thirteen years ago, the Yondaime made a horrible mistake.
He thought the malevolent force that had infected his village could be sealed away forever. He believed that
his self-sacrifice and the innocence of a newborn child could defuse the curse.
He was wrong.
Now the ancient evil within Naruto is leaking out... a curse so rooted in the history of Konoha, so fundamental to existence, that even the village symbol reflects and conveys it. And its madness will, in the end, drag everyone and everything down.

explication - Foxboy - 12-23-2006
There's a Horror manga called "Uzumaki" ("spiral" in Japanese), about a town that has a LOT of bizarre events involving spirals. REALLY creepy.
And, like most Japanese Horror I've come across, NOBODY gets out alive. There was a movie made off of it, but it was kinda *meh* to me.

I had to. - Sirrocco - 12-24-2006
I had a prose version of this, but the computer ate it just as I finished. Grrr.... Still, I hope you enjoy
------
Heimdall, White-god, of nine mothers, stood watch at the gates of Asgard. Ever-wakeful, ever-watchful, patient as the Yggdrasil.
In the distance came a blurring, came a people to the Bifrost, Still so distant none could see them, marching 'cross the Bifrost bridge.
None could see them, save for Heimdall, he who saw to the worlds-ending. raised to his lips Gjallerhorn. Took a mighty breath to blow.
Still he paused a moment longer, 'fore he summoned forth the war-gods, 'fore he called the slain Einherjar from their revel-slumbers deep.
Eyelids narrowed, vision seeking. Something strange about those coming. Ears could hear no weapons clanking, ears that heard the growing grass.
These were not the host of Giants, Sons of Muspell, gone a-raving. This was not the final battle, marching 'cross the bridge
This indeed was something stranger, men and women, peaceful walking. Holding hands and thoughtful watching, warriors not a one.
At their vanguard, frog and pig strode, seemed the leaders by their actions. Plucked from lips then was Gjallerhorn. Heimdall let them come.
Pig had look of the Valkyrur, Frog had look of manner mild. Frog did quiver 'neath the god-gaze, still drew breath to speak.
"Hi there, I'm Kermit D. Frog, and we're here to make a petition. We want you to change the rules about who gets in heaven."
"Who are you? then thundered Heimdall, "that you would seek change in heaven? Who this host to tell the Aesir we must change our ways."
Shrank then back the little frog, and bristled then with rage his pig-friend. Shrank he back until the sight of allies once more steeled his nerve.
"The lovers, the dreamers and me, but that's not the point." said Kermit. "Making heaven just for warriors is wrong and doesn't work."
"The world's moved on, and warriors aren't as important as they once were. no one tells the Aesir stories, and the dead mostly go to Hel.
"It isn't fair to everyone who's worked hard to make the world better. Gods should be fair and just and true, and right now you're not."
Bristled Heimdall at the statement, but he saw its honest giving. Raised to his brow mighty fingers. Of *those* headaches would this be.

Heimdal vs Kermit, round 1, FIGHT!
Oh dear I would have liked to see the prose version.
You know initialy I was going; Kermit and miss Piggy? Nah, it can't be.

Re: Crossover Creator That Should Not Be - CattyNebulart - 12-27-2006
Not sure if this has been doen before, but the TSAB sends one of their special investigators to see why this one dimension is causing all this trouble, and they send one of their new recruits on her first solo mission to the universe. Afterall it's not that threatening, and Hayate does have the knights in case there is trouble.
The place? Sunydale, California of course.
And Giles just happens to have this old book that details the Schwertkreuz and how it destroys worlds (this is the Inteligent Device part of the Book of Darkness...).
