Challenge #00179: An Affront Taken Aback.

Sara tries her hand at fanfiction.

(Woo, a fanfic about a character invented for fanfiction writing fanfiction. How very meta.)

[AN: Meta, indeed. See how much more meta I can get it]

“Oof. Ugh. Bluh. Oh my good gracious…”

Usually, those were the sounds of Sara on Grease Trap Duty, but these were coming from the library.

Hank knuckled in to investigate, and found Ms Adrien reading the first of the _Twilight_ series at a rapid pace.

“Problematic literature?” he enquired.

Sara smacked the book down into her lap as if swatting a cockroach. “My assignment is to read something outside my comfort zone and then improve on it. I picked the obvious target.” Long fingers held up the volume as if it was a dead rat. “Caveat, I have to finish reading this… thing.”

“A feat worthy of exile from purgatory, methinks?”

“A feat solely ensconced in the nine circles of Hell, rather,” Sara muttered darkly. “Sooner done, sooner starting something fun.”

“…oh dear,” Henry made a beeline for Charles’ office. Best forewarned and forearmed.

He was right, of course. It took two weeks before the cease-and-desist orders came in to prevent Sara finishing her magnum opus, _Tghiliwt_, described in the realms of Fanfiction dot net as, “Twilight with a properly romantic relationship, instead of an abusive one.”

It took another two weeks before the movie deals started filing in.

Sara never did anything by halves.

Plotbunnies Come From WTF...

Can’t get rid of this one, so I thought I’d give it to the aether:

Pinkie Pie and the Brain.

Pinkie Pie finds an ancient cryo-storage tube in some old ruins underneath the Everfree Forest. Naturally, she pushes the big, red button that no-one should touch and releases the most machiavellian megalomaniac mouse ever known to mankind - Brain.

Mayhem, of course, ensues.

Send me the results, I’d love to see how it turns out.

I’m sorry marvel, but you suck at ending things. You always kill off the Kurts. So.. I’m ending the hellfire saga for you.

Yes. This. Very good.

Edit to add: This comic needs more notes!

The original artist is now officially my favourite person on this earth. Advance warning: I am tracking you down and following you with semi-obsessive glee.

Because this is made of awesome.

We R Igorth sets up shop in Mechanicsburg.

(#00178)

[AN: Set sometime after Agatha’s return to Mechanicsburg]

They always came to Sparks once a stronghold was established. A tribe of natural minions with a talent for surgery and reanimation. Their balms and poultices could perform miracles still unknown to the rest of modern science.

The Heterodyne kept one on in her castle, on the very good chance that they might come in handy - on one condition.

It was a combination hospice and employment agency, with one name for

Paraphrasing Zaphod Beeblebrox....

“…You’re THE Sara Adrien?”

“No, I’m just A Sara Adrien - didn’t you hear we come in six-packs now?”

Context irrelevant, but those two lines must appear.  Whether Sara is being sarcastic or literal is up to you.

Sara had never realized she had fans until Thylacine Industries could afford a booth at Genracon.

Five dollars an autograph had only encouraged them.

Ten dollars a picture… she was still

(DS9 prompt for a change!) Odo has fangirls.

(#00176)

Commence Personal log, Security Chief Odo. Once again, Starfleet’s insistence on records and lists and files forces me to take note of events as if my memory is not reliable enough.

In this case, I have to make note of events as they occur, establish a pattern, and present such evidence to the commander before action can occur. And, since it has to take place in a personal log, I also have to make note of my thoughts and feelings

Why Red Bull is banned in Bayville.

(#00175)

“So… this is happening,” said the police chief. “WHY is it happening?“

"I don’t know, sir,” said her immediate underling. “I just know it’s continuing to happen…" The swirling patterns of ink on his skin became the repeated word TRUTH.

Many a near-riot had begun because of the quasi-cogniscent ink that had spread like a virus over the skins of all citizens of Bayville. Many men were very upset to find themselves indelibly

OK, so how about this?

We round up all the hateful, misogynistic, racist asshats in the world.

And all the self-confessed Nice Guys.

And move them to Texas (room for everyone in the world, remember?).

And wall those fuckers in.

Then we film the inevitable results and glory in the schadenfreude.

I just have one question for the rest of y'all:

Who’s making the popcorn?

A new Korean restaurant opens up near the X-Mansion. Todd discovers beondegi.

(#00174)

“I know it’s cheap to eat here, but god damn… who wants to eat this crap?”

“Koreans, maybe?” said Todd. “Look, jus’ try a few things a’ight? Koreans eat it an’ live.“

"I don’t eat anything I can’t identify,” said Pietro.

“I stopped listening at ‘all you can eat’,” said Freddy. He was already taking a sampler.

“Heywow… How’d they get all the little lines on
