With wizards? Yeah.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Man, I remember that story. I read the first book of that--there were many books, at least three or four-- because many people were raving about the series, then gave up. So-so writing, too much crack for my palate.
From the crack_van rec:
Have you ever had the desire to see Mulder as a Mage? Wanted a good fic where Scully is Healer with magical powers?
Unfortunately, no.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I forget how far I got into the series, but I think it was quite a bit. And I think it was off a rec from Chronicle X.

If I only had a brain...
Have you ever wanted a slap in the belly with a wet halibut?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Um, no?
Although how funny was it that my friendslist gained a new community dedicated to codswalloping ninny heroes in fiction this week? Very funny.

And I think it was off a rec from Chronicle X.
Yeah. ChronX always recced the really good stuff (if it was MSR), but a fair amount of not-so-much also got through.
I hadn't realized you meant the Magician series, Nutty. I skimmed a chunk of it, back in the day, but I've read enough mediocre fantasy novels in my time; I really didn't need another one.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I didn't mean the Magician series, when we were discussing the "Help! Help! I'm being attacked by the author's id!" story-series upthread.
(Actually, I've never read the Magician series, because, it just doesn't sound bad enough to make it past my oh-come-on-o-meter. I'll read silly nonsense if it's bad silly nonsense.)
The series we were , um, guarding ourselves against was called "Life from the Ashes," IIRC. Where is Encyclopedia Snacky when I need her?!

"Life from the Ashes," IIRC.
Yup, that was it. I don't think I've encountered the Magician series.

You know, all I did was skip and skim, and I still saw a reference to the cat-overlord Sentinel story. Do you people care nothing for my traumatic experiences? Will no one think of the Emily?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
That Sentinel story has scarred all of us, even if we haven't read it. It's like metastasizing evil meme.
