Last week we were treated to some undiluted random badassery in order to introduce Wesker as the new Awesome McEvil of the fic.  Samantha came back to life with the magic of Nemesis, but otherwise not much happened.

So let’s just jump right in and see what chapter two takes us.

OK, so if you’ve been with the library for a while, or if you’ve exhaustively read our archives, you might remember a massive and incoherent fail-fest called call of duty:the untold zombie chronicels by Insane Doctor.  At the end of zombie chronicels I threatened all of you with the fact that there are 2 sequels to that mess.  Well, since I had a tie for votes, I headed over to ol’ random.org and flipped a coin between the two contestants, the sequel to zombie cronicels, resident evil:reborn (no space or capitalization), won the flip.

Interestingly, since zombie chronicels was removed due to a violation of FF.net rules (due to the graphic dinosaur pedophilia), Insane Doctor has changed his moniker to The Insane Shadow Hunter, and changed his profile. It now no longer reads like it was written by a murder-worshiping 14-year-old.  Rather it reads like a self-aggrandizing 16-year-old with partial literacy wrote it.  I’ll take small improvements where I can get them.  To keep things simple, I’m going to keep referring to the authors as Insane Doctor (ID) and JudgementDragon25 (JD25), since those are the names still on the title-page of this fic and the author insertions still retain those names too.

ID has also started a really, really bad My Little Pony fic that I’ve added to our orphaned fics list.  My guess is either Herr or Ghostie may want to take a crack at that.  On the plus side, he actually capitalizes words in that fic.

Anyway, without further ado, let’s see what awaits us in resident evil:reborn! Read the rest of this entry »

Ert agreed to fill in for me this week since I’ve been busy taking care of guests and haven’t had any time to prepare a riff of my own.

Sorry about the long update time, I’ve been as sick as a dog.

Ok, after the Union finally pulled its head out of its ass and made contact with Shepard, Shepard blew off Kim, waiting until she snogged him, and I couldn’t help but feel a little creeped out that the last time he had seen her and everyone else he had only been five, but I can’t think of anything big to make out of that.

Which is a pity

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?

441: Not Another Magus Fanfic – Oneshot

Welcome back to another Wednesday.  This week is the last week in my oneshot extravaganza, so let’s end it on a really, really bad note.

Let’s check out the summary of this fic that promises to not be another Magus squee fic:

Just when Magus thought it was safe to settle down, he runs into some trouble with a band of bounty hunters after Janus, then befriends a young woman who swipes his amulet. Magus knows more about his new partner than he reveals, but doesn’t trust her.

Not terrible, though the Janus/Magus thing is way, way overplayed.  But whatever.   Let’s take a look at why this fic is here, shall we?

Thousands upon thousands of years ago, before the luxury of speed bikes and

weather domes, before people even used guns, before even mystics themselves,

The earth was a series of islands, peninsulas, small continents, seas,
rivers, and

lakes, caused by a massive tidal wave. One of these islands was home to a village

of refugees from the tidal wave. Boats and ships would periodically sail to and from

the island, either with supplies or passengers. On this island was a mountain, on

which all of the villager’s houses were located.
