Really, if you're going for noise, go for the original. Or any of the genre it basically spawned. Surprisingly listenable, really (though I love the story about folks having a bad record and not noticing that it was looping, ha, because the record skip was unnoticeable compared to the actual piece).Dubstep shall forever be below literal noise music in capability to create noise, imo

... I've actually heard some pretty nice noise music, though. There was this one I've forgotten the name and producer of that sounded like waves on the beach. I mean, through the filter of a thousand way industrial-strength car wreck, but it was quite soothing in its own way.

That's saying he's a potato! D:

He'll be a potato by the time the peeler brandisher is done. A skinless uncooked spud, writhing on the ground with its eyes strew about the room.

... y'know, thinking on that, that's a lil'morbid. People should not peel people. Or potatoes, even. Cut out the eyes and mumbly bits, I guess, but leave the skin and eat!

I haven't read either series. Harry Potter because I decided it was crap, and Wheel of Time because it's too sodding long.

HP's honestly decent enough up until... half-blood prince, I think? Either that one or the one before. S'a reason a lot of fanfiction for it starts during or after OotP. If nothing else, I'll give it points because it's spawned more fanfiction than god. I mean, not that that's saying much since bible/vedas/whatever fanfics are fairly niche, but the point stands.

I totes sympathize with not reading something because of length, though. I mean, that's a strange thing to say coming from a person that's devoured several million+ word individual works, but I completely understand that kind of vague foreboding when you're looking at word count or whatever and it's just... huge. It's like your brain is kinda' nudging you going, "Are... are you sure that's going to fit?" and then making vaguely suggestive hand motions. S'a little intimidating. Especially if you're one to feel compelled to finish reading something you start reading and you know opening that first page means you're allocating several days/weeks/months/etc. of your life to reading this one piece of fiction.

Whatever portion of our evolutionary history resulted in acid reflux can manifest an anthropomorphic form and go die in a fire. Or maybe shoved into something's esophageal tract and submerged in stomach acid until it melts. Screaming all the way.

Why cut it with a spoon.

Why not?

Beyond that, sometimes a spoon is all you have.

Is...that possible?

Yup. Lot of hair loss et al is genetic, so far as I'm aware, but there's also an environmental/health factor. Stress, ferex, can cause hair thinning and hair loss, which promptly starts to go away when/if the stress does. S'other stuff like that, too, I do believe.

Good god those tabs. O_O

* SomeStupidGuy thinks he can see oblivion in those tabs.

(And that's not even getting into that fanfic...)

*mumbles something about it being a slow last few weeks*

Also those little > parts are hiding more tabs. I tried organizing a little. It... sorta' stuck. For a bit. Then it just started expanding again... eh.

E: Also, that fic is quite possibly the best X-Com/Ranma 1/2 / Ranma 1/2/Teen Titans fanfic in existence (Translation: it's a crossover between two crossovers!). Mostly because it's the only one, so far as I know, but also because it's pretty good! Also ridiculously lengthy, clocking in at 1.3 million words.

Darkling is my preference. It's a bit harder to read sometimes but it's much easier on the eyes.

The trick is to just zoom in a bit. I browse the forum at a default of around 130%. Makes everything quite clear while still being blessedly easy on the eyes.
