    Trace Coburn’s Plot-Tribble Sanctuary (snippets and offcuts, mostly Buffy-related)

    Going a little bit Doylist here; early season Willow wasn't trying to present as younger than she was, but she came across that way, because the production team were trying to make Alysson Hannigan - college graduate, mid-twenties, and much more conventionally pretty than the creative team's...

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Should probably be 'asked her to play' - he's not asking permission to put on his best frilly gown and serve tea.

    Forging Ahead (GURPS Interstellar Wars/Celestial Forge)

    The fickleness of muses is why techniques like the old pulp detective standby of 'when you get stuck, have a couple of goons (or just grandfather) rough up the main character and threaten further harm in a clue-and-motivation inducing fashion' work so well. Or as Chandler is credited with...

    Forging Ahead (GURPS Interstellar Wars/Celestial Forge)

    It's worth noting (other people have answered your actual question up thread from here) that this setting is the classic sci-fi rpg world of *Traveller*, and it being the 'GURPS' version is a matter of mostly relatively fiddly details. GURPS (an acronym for *Generic Universal Role-Playing...

    Just a Phase [Worm]

    Oh, bull-shit! It loses the international trade aspects, it completely screws up Fezzik's character background, in favor of that dumb 'corkscrew' joke, and it cuts out the entire ongoing metaphor about trees! Aleph's version is far superior. Bill Goldman's translation has nothing on Richard...

    Just a Phase [Worm]

    She - as evidences by her accent - is pretty definitely from Boston. She went away to college in upstate New York - the part near Pennsyltucky, where you get your good ol' upstate redneck racists - and triggered due to what the abrasive blonde girl with no firsthand knowledge of things tried to...

    Just a Phase [Worm]

    Bakuda, the Cornell Bomber, made her debut at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. She was captured there, presumably by New York-based PRT/Protectorate forces, then broken out and taken to Brockton Bay by Lung. Boston should never enter into it.

    The Saga of James Stormcaller [Harry Potter AU]

    The new update seemed as good a time as any to get into this story, and I quite like it so far. A couple quibbles; You won't find either running around Surrey - chipmunks (also mentioned) were introduced as escaped pets in the '70s, but you wouldn't see skunk or raccoon outside a (very odd)...

    War Games [Worm/Polity Crossover]

    I wasn't asking Dinah, I was asking the other readers. (Since all I expect to hear from the author is a variant of the 'I'm not gonna tell you' serenade)

    War Games [Worm/Polity Crossover]

    ... So, odds that Simmie has things in place for the Hooper to land safely? Odds that that safe landing is in Ellisburg?
