Infinity Chapter 42. (MGLN)

Have they got past the "Let's have the canon characters get beat up" phase yet? Because that was getting more than slightly old.

-Morgan.

 Well, basically the chapter was "Split up the characters and set up the battles."

Oh, and there's the little bit at the end with a ticking bomb.

Next chapter of Harsh Reality (Harry Potter).

Found it... though the actual chapter wasn't that great for me.  Somewhere between every jonin being derangedly obsessed with teaching every 8 year old they can to bypass half the fortifications on the planet freely (another 30 odd percent being covered by water walking) and giving them the ability to break their own necks if left alone for 15 minutes and the verbal railroading of Shikamaru that seemed like he was ganged up on by people possessed by the autho... It left a bad taste in my brain.  Seriously, imagine a crew on random One Piece pirates with wall walking and water walking... now tell me how the marines don't have utterly insane attrition rates anywhere near Zabuza's academy graduation ceremony levels?

Pretty sure it's the Accidental Sensei.  I haven't gotten around to the most recent chapter, but that story starts from a fairly cracky premise, then tries to justify it and play it straight.  However, it also introduces some odd elements such as all members of the Uzumaki are supposed to be on medication and putting the Naruto world into the same world as One Piece but a generation or so after Luffy becomes Pirate King. 
I find the story to be fun but over cluttered with these extra elements.

Problem with Accidental Sensei is that it starts with crack, morphs to become a fairly interesting fic in which Konoha is actually filled with competent people (and a bit of a fix-fic), and with this latest chapter had become a case of author pressing and "throw as many cameos as I can in for shits and giggles.”

[deadpan29]

So on the subject of entertaining crack, we have recent updates for Leftovers (Naruto, possibly NSFW at points), Uchibi Sasuke (Naruto), and Walking in the Shadows (BtVS, Xander goes world-hopping).

Walking in the Shadows (BtVS, Xander goes world-hopping).

And 100 points to DogbertCarroll for being the first fanfic author I've come across to have Sirius Black make the other possible joke based on his name:

"It's because I'm black isn't it?" Sirius asked.

I finally read all of this, and while it's a nice WAFFy little plot, the writer is either very young or very inexperienced, as the narrative reads like a child was telling the story -- and not as an intentional stylistic choice.  The author also seems to think that punctuation is too expensive to waste money or time on, with apostrophes the worst of the lot.  Also, many many many word choice errors -- a bit more than I think you can account for by spellchecker barfs.  For example, that last chapter has a line that bounced me right out of the story with a bad word choice -- "It was still a little shocking that she was able to bread these special dogs". All I could think of was Marge dipping puppies in egg wash and dredging them in flour and breadcrumbs.
BTW, has anyone else noticed that FF.NET is running a script of some sort to prevent you from selecting and copying blocks of text on its pages?  I had to NoScript the site before I could copy that line I quoted, which then turned everything on the page into centered text.

Yep. I suspect it was the same time they blocked flagfic.
