tkdguy Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Years ago, my sister decided to write a Pride and Prejudice fanfic -- with a twist.

Matt Frisbee Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Re: Genre-crossover nightmares I think the worst music experience I've ever lived through was the Star Wars Christmas Special, though the Star Wars Robot Chicken "Empire on Ice" sketch was a pretty close second.

Clonus Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Scavenged from the internet: "Indeed," said the man (whom Patience could not help but think of as made of clockwork, though he manifestly was something far stranger), "I speak of these things not merely because of the way that I am made, though indeed a machine should do that which it is made to do, but because I have found that I have developed, through our many conversations, a feeling of that which is proper, both within the bounds of your society and without; and being that I am, here, a gentleman, I find that I am also bound to behave as a gentleman would, and indeed, Lady Patience, I must warn you that this Mr. Connor is a man of less than sterling character." Patience was quite taken aback by this sudden expression of personal concern, so unlike the measured rationality of the Mr. Terminus that she had come to know and depend upon, and so for several moments she sat quietly, simply looking upon his earnest, if overly regular, countenance, before she had quite decided upon her reply. "Sir, your concern for me is noted, and not entirely without my appreciation, but you are most forward and presumptuous to offer advice in such a matter, in which you cannot have any interest and which is, therefore, entirely between myself and Mr. Connor."

The only other title I recall is the fourth, The Lion is Yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
