The first half-chapter of the Doctor Who one is up (see signature). The second, which will finish the first half of the two-parter, will be up today or tomorrow.
(That's just because I decided to go with shorter chapters this time.) |

Is it polite to attempt a second pimping of Prinz von Sommerhoffnung? Some review from the more astute, open-minded, Genre (and content) Savvy members of our fandom would be very much appreciated, considering that my two betas (as is with myself) are engaged in preparing for a promotional examination.

Greetings,
I am Saint X, resident denizen of the Nearby Nanoha Thread and one of the OC / Fanfic specialists in that universe. I'm also a fan of the Mai-Series, especially Otome, well as they say back there- high enough technology is magic. And with the Multiverisiality of the my host thread in effect, we tend to drag some in... Well what i was saying that i have a Planned to Publish work in the HiME/Otome section of FF.net that involves these things Crossover with another series Lots of OCs and CCs from both worlds Integration of Both anime and manga elements Two sides of the Same Conflict - Me taking care of the Otome side while another friend of mine taking care of the other series side. - a lot of things... but maybe this snippet from my friend can do: Spoiler for Die Snippet:
- i need ideas really... Please be kind to me people...

Hahah, don't worry. It happens to the best of us. It might be fair warning, though, to note that it's subtitled "Intelligent, Reference-filled SSStylish Hard Action" for a reason. A good knowledge of what each character looks like, as well as a sharp mind able to handle wordplay, are needed to appreciate it. My two betas did warn me enough that the "average" fan wouldn't be interested in the Lawyer Friendly Cameos aplenty.

Hey, Atlantis_Lux (what d'ya want me to address you as? Will "AL" do, or would you prefer "Lux"?), were there any parts of Prinz von Sommerhoffnung you didn't quite understand?

Lux is fine for me. And you, by the way?
There aren't really parts that I do not understand, but probably (if it's not something you need to keep secret) it would be better if you write down in the end of each chapter the names of the equivalent characters in Mai Hime so that people don't get confused. Then... I caught the reference to Hellsing when Ywiu releases her powers and here " That which defeats a monster is always a human." but does the same go for the guns of Sommerhoffnung? Anaconda could be the Jackal... could be... I'm sure there are tons of other cameos that I didn't recognize, but I have a funny feeling here "Svarog shot forth, brutally Materassi-ing the hostile monster". Materassing? Is it a word play that refers to the last soccer world cup? |

Warp will do.
The names of the guns reference popular bands. Look up the lyrics that Sommerhoffnung sings and you'll find which ones they are. Draysoph's name is also a musical reference, but specifically an anagram. Yes, the Materassi thing was meant to refer to that incident. Did you get the "It's a Bridget" one? There are many Devil May Cry references lying around. There's at least one Star Wars reference and one crab-related meme. I also played around with some of the original dialogue to suit the new premises. If you have any more comments, please do tell. It would help greatly.

Well, yes, Angel May Laugh was the most obvious, but there are more. For the Star Wars one, you'll want to look back in the later parts of that series. "Ka-chung" is Hokkien for "a$$".

I notice you didn't say anything about the various inline references. Any reason why?
