Boston’s Week of Terror: A Librarian’s Take on the Boston Marathon Insanity
Posted: April 19, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Herr Wozzeck, Serious, Your Librarians Are People 2 Comments »Hey guys.
I know what some of you are thinking: “what, it’s a post and it’s not anything to do with fanfiction? The blasphemy!” I know it might come off as odd that I’m updating the Library with stuff.
But at the end of the day, I think there’s something that needs to be said about certain things that have been going on this week. Given the city in the post title, I think you know what it’s referring to.
I’ll get more into it after the jump, but I’ll just tell you now: it’s not gonna be funny. Not consciously, anyway. Read the rest of this entry »

As I often do after finishing up a fic, I checked up on my previous riffs to see if any had new chapters added. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that My Angel had not one but two new chapters ready for riffing. For those of you who do not remember or don’t want to read the previous chapters, I shall give a brief synopsis of the story (such as it is) so far.
Haruhi, the series’ female protagonist, is shot and killed by some random asshat. She gets sent to what appears to be a Hollywood version of Judeo-Christian Heaven, where an airheaded angel named Sophia informs her that she is now a Guardian Angel and partners her with a wooden dumbass/Gary Stu called Christian simply because the two died at the same time.
After changing Haru-chan’s hair color, giving her a vague backstory of being a super-rich French girl named Adele, and issuing her a special gun to kill “unholy things” with, Sophia punts the pair back to Earth where they attend their own funerals (where they ”fight” a pair of demons) and attend the same school Haru-chan went to back when she was still herself. The two also discover that they can speak telepathically with each other, which seems to be a rather unique skill only they possess. (Go Team Stu/e.)
At the school Haru-chan throws down with a werewolf, breaking her arm. After her first day back at school after being injured, she returns to her apartment and feels a vague evil presence. She contacts Christian, who has gone off to join the host club. Kyoya, the club’s vice-president, and the twins Hikaru and Kaoru confront Christian (who is now Andrew) and tell him that they know he’s a Guardian Angel. He gets the call from Haru-chan and runs to her rescue.
I think that covers all the high points. Now on to Chapter 5, titled I find out the truth. I’m going to skip over the Author’s Note, which is just an apology for the lateness of the chapter upload.

Welcome back, delightful Patrons! We’ve started down the slippery slope towards the end of the Teen Titans’ fic, A Baby to be Born Inside, but there’s still a whole lot of nonsense to wade through before we get to the bottom of this hill.
Not much happened last time; Raven and Beast Boy named the babies Beast Boy, Jr, Phoenix, and Americas, and … that’s pretty much it. Two whole chapters and that’s the only significant event that occurred. These chapters aren’t much better, but at least there’s a pointless dream sequence.
Sounds like fun.

Critiqued by Ghostcat
Hello there, my wise and wonderful Patrons! I’m back with the fourth and (so far) last chapter of the Ouran High School Host Club fic, My Angel, titled simply “Club.” Before we get to the main course, let’s start with an appetizer – the recap!
In the previous chapter it was discovered that Kyoya knows that Haruhi and Christian are Guardian Angels, although how he reached this conclusion is unknown. Tamaki asked Christian/Andrew to join the host club, but upon reaching the music room the fellows use for their club they find everyone in a state of apathy. Christian suddenly screams and runs off for no reason, prompting Kyoya to reveal to everyone that “Andrew” is a Guardian Angel and that the reason he was running away was because his partner was being injured. Again, no reason is given for why Kyoya would be able to divine this from Christian/Andrew’s actions. Christian finds Haru-chan badly injured and doing battle with a werewolf, together they quickly defeat it. There is a “touching” moment towards the end when Christian reveals to the audience that he has a crush on Haru-chan, even though he would be better off expressing his deep feelings towards her by finding her medical treatment for her many injuries rather than holding her hand and making cow-eyes at her.
Now on to the chapter! Read the rest of this entry »
