[personal profile] arcanetrivia
And There Will Be A Reckoning by (Anonymous)
Fandom: Discworld
Pairing/Characters: Tiffany Aching, Granny Weatherwax
Rating: General
Words: 1420

Author's summary: It was the sort of cold where - if you were out in it for too long - you went right around in a circle and started to feel warm again.
Author's warnings: Chose Not To Use
Additional tags: Implied/Referenced Character Death, In that it is the apocalypse and most people are dead by this point (Fic was written for Apocalyptothon 2014)

Quote:
She was distracted from these thoughts by a "Caw!" from high above. She had barely seen the raven before her hands were out in front of her.
"Thunder on my right hand. Lightning in my left hand. Heat above me. Frost below me."
As she stole its heat, a curl of warmth sprang up inside her chest.
The raven fell dead from the sky. She never saw where it landed.

The Case of the Vanishing Vampire by (Anonymous)
Fandom: Discworld
Pairing/Characters: Reg Shoe, Visit, Vimes, Vetinari, Carrot, Angua, Cheery Littlebottom, William de Worde, Otto von Chriek, Rufus Drumknott, Death, George Pony
Rating: Teen
Words: 19,552

Author's summary: Reg and Visit are drawn into a mystery at the heart of Ankh Morpork's undead community. Why would a lifelong black-ribboner suddenly try to kill his landlady? And why have his ashes mysteriously disappeared? With the rest of the Watch focused on a threat to the new underground rail network, Reg and Visit will need to work together to solve the case, because if the two of them can't manage to put aside their differences, somebody's going to get away with murder...
Author's notes:
Q. Why is this fic like the Ankh-Morpork coat of arms?
A. They were both supported by hippos.
This fic is dedicated to the good people of #Yuletide: Doranwen and Fran who dropped ropes when I fell into my own plotholes, SteelNeko who came up with one of the OCs, Kurushi who agreed to beta-read despite an impossibly tight deadline and TL whose gentle command of "This is never going to be finished on time, you need to start writing an alternate fic NOW" is the only reason I'm not perma-banned from Yuletide.
But most of all it's dedicated to my recipient, who has the patience of the saint and whose prompt basically amounted to "One's an evangelist, the other's a zombie; together THEY FIGHT CRIME!" which is clearly the most awesome prompt in the history of Yuletide.
Author's warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Additional tags: Complete, Action/Adventure, Bechdel Test Pass, Blood, Canon Compliant, Case Fic, Crimes, Drama, Friendship, Gen Fic, Gift Fic, Humor, Minor Canonical Character(s), Mystery, Mystery Stories, Past Tense, Photography, Police, Politics, Post-Canon, Prompt Fic, Religions, Teamwork, They Fight Crime!, Trains, Yuletide, Vampires, Whodunnit, Zombies, #Yulechat Challenge 2010

My comment: (Chapter 5) "I don't suppose the dwarf symbol for "mine" resembles a circle with a horizontal line through it, by any chance?"
(Chapter 8) "Kinda love that Visit now basically has one of those things you get by laying a penny on a railroad track. (Don't do this, kids.)"
Quote:
'We're in the middle of a heatwave and Detritus has never been particularly swayed by debate even when his brain's at a reasonable temperature.'
'Yes, but we can't just walk away.'
'No.'
'Oh.'
'Yeah.'
'Stoneface is going to go absolutely Bursar.'
'Well, if you want to let a murderer get away because you were afraid of getting in trouble.'
'Oh shut up.'
'No, you shut up.'
'No, you shut up.'
The two corporals turned to Detritus and smiled.
"Fair enough, Sarge. Can you just move to one side for a minute so we can turn the cart around?"

Oh my god you guys. This person seriously needs to chill.
A screenshot of the moderation screen for guest reviews on Fanfiction.net, showing excerpts of four lengthy comments left by the same person on the same chapter of a fic.

As you can see, these are reviews (comments) left on Summer Shade. That fic is 17 years old at this point, and clearly says right at the top in the author's note:
1. It was written for a Severus/Lily-specific exchange ([livejournal.com profile] less_for_you) and gives the prompt I was trying to fulfill, which includes "what-if scenario".
2. Acknowledges that it presupposes an AU from canon.

And they go and lead off with "I don't think the premise is realistic". LMAO. I think you have come to the wrong place, buddy. They then go on for almost 2500 words (half the length of the fic itself!) about how James abused Snape (as if I didn't know) and Lily was an awful friend ("sociopathically sadistic monster", even, as you can see in the screenshot). Are they seriously still doing this kind of Snape discourse out there in the world? Crikey. I don't think I'm even going to read all this screed, much less approve the guest reviews.
