Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to the Library. Well, what would you know, but my first Hunger Games fic here at the library is in fact a oneshot. Who figured?

And yes, I like the Hunger Games books. Do they have things that don’t work? Sure. But the things that do work far outweigh those that don’t, and I like how Katniss is as a character, being strong and independent but also having her insecurities. I quite like the character of Katniss Everdeen, as she actually is a fairly well-written female character.

So it kind of annoys me when people totally miss the characterization she has in the books. As this fic does. Well, aside from one other pretty big thing, anyhow.

With that said, let’s get started.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another week of doing shorter fics and oneshots. We continue that trend with… a Sonic fic with three really short chapters, one chapter of which crosses over with the Saw franchise?

Huh… one is about a blue hedgehog with too many friends who is cartoony… and the other is a really twisted horror franchise about people who get murdered in death traps. Yeah… I don’t sense that this juxtaposition is going to end well.

Well, the upside is that these chapters are very short—The longest chapter is a hair over four hundred words. So let’s get started, shall we?

Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another snarking. Again, we have another really horrible oneshot. I’m going to start this snarking by showing you the summary:

Indian jones when researching ancient Nazi artifacts finds a portal to something he didnt expect, he makes new friends and enemies, with a bit of romance along the way in this epic tale

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that is all one sentence. And here’s something else to note: this “epic tale” is less than a thousand words long. Yeah. I don’t think it could really get that epic if it’s less than a thousand words long.

But then again, it’s very likely that this guy is a troll. I say that, because almost all of his stories are like this. And I can tell you from his Dead Space oneshot that I looked at once upon a time that his stories really are trollfics. So don’t take this too seriously, ‘cause I’m pretty sure this author is fucking with us.

So… let’s get started, shall we?

Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to the Library.

*wipes his forehead *

Believe me, I’m also really relieved that I am done with Parallel Realities. Seriously, that fic was so shitty that it was incredible how bad it was. That it gathered the following it did is even crazier, if you ask me. But whatever, it’s done now, and now I can move to other things.

And the first thing we’re going to move on to? Why, it’s one of the creepiest fanfics I’ve ever read! And it’ll also be the first time I’ve ever snarked at a Twilight fanfic, too! And oh yeah, let’s not forget about Narnia, that too. Yep, it’s a fic about the Pevensies, with a specific focus on Lucy Pevensie. Huh… I don’t know if I should be charmed of frightened by the prospect of Lucy Pevensie getting along really well with Edward Cullen. That’s… uh… yeah.

So let’s get to it, shall we?

Boston’s Week of Terror: A Librarian’s Take on the Boston Marathon Insanity

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 »
