That Harry Potter thing sounds like an interesting idea to me but there's a bunch of little things I've read about it that I think I just could not stand. And it kind of seems like it would have worked better if he'd just changed character names and setting details and fleshed it out into an original work.

Well part of the goal is to take a setting that runs on Rule Of Cool and attempt to make it internally consistent. Without the canon series it wouldn't be quite the same.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

Okay, okay, sorry. That's not fair. Like I said, 9 just kinda...

Well, anyways, the ending is potentially quite interesting, If it's done well. The example of nine is a poor one because the mythos was ill-constructed and a moment of thought invalidates the whole thing. If you pull it off right it's tragic, but still hopeful. which is actually a really, really strong ending. It is, however, likely very tricky to pull off.

Also, embarrassing baby photos.

I wish people read my fan fiction. I got a whole bunch of the shit. I've got one story about two ambiguously gay Mormon ponies, a story about pony protesters on a zeppelin, a story about Queen Chrysalis protecting her hive from bug spray, a story about a grape tycoon and a hippie, a story about a pianist who's in love with a cellist but the cellist is in a relationship with a DJ...

Man, that ending really hurt 9. It was so good up to that point, then suddenly MAGIC! It's basically the exact same problem Mass Effect 3's ending had.

@kegi Well, yeah. It's certainly not supposed to be a downer at all

@Freeman You just gave me the idea of Crackle in the Glitz Pit.

@Ginger Bittersweet Ending I suppose. Don't think there's a specific name for it.

Hey! I enjoyed it too. Wait, why do you like it?

Wait, what was wrong with the ending of 9 again?

I liked that movie...

@Ginger: Sounds like a Bittersweet Ending to me. I think peoples reaction to it would vary wildly from person to person.

I liked it too.

Wait, you liked it? Didn't it kind of lack a villain?

Oh, I liked it too. A lot. The ending was just kinda random, though. Rather out of place, considering how well everything else was set up.

Replaying The Thousand year Door, currently in chapter 3. Decided to name my baby yoshi partner Crackle, ran out of name ideas.

I started playing that when some kids stayed at our house and brought it with them, but I only got to the beginning of chapter 2 before they left.

@Blue the sewing machine (or whatever it was called) was a villain.

Pretty good one too, I thought

@crow:

Crackle is the unmentioned sibling of Hooktail/Gloomtail/Bonetail.

@The Freeman I always name him "Kid." The guide call him the Yoshi Kid so, eh.

I love embarrassing photos.

The Kid? That's an unfortuante name for a video game protagonist.

@story The Yoshi Kid's not exactly the protagonist.

@Ginger: Ah, I see. I can't really form attachments to "characters" like that, because they seem more like plot devices than actual characters. I don't really remember the movie that well, it could have had an actual personality for all I know.

Twelve Angry Men is great. I didn't know there was a movie, though. I just remember reading a script for the play in an English class.
