Episode 490 - Harry Potter and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, chapters 8-11

Episode 490: Harry Potter and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, chapters 8-11

Harry Potter? Played at Glastonbury in '98? Fell off the stage and hurt himself and ended up in a backstage fight with a chicken farmer? That Harry Potter?

In this next thrilling chunk of fanfic, Harry Parker (the boy who not died) gets on a train, has dinner and reads through his class timetable. And if you think that sounds thrilling, just consider that the most action-packed part of it is a retelling of a filler episode that the fic could have skipped without anyone noticing or, most likely, caring either. But what it's really about is everyone joining Ravenclaw because they're all so big on those traits that we all know Ravenclaw has and is so well regarded for. So join I.R. Ninja, Stinky Pete, Joanna Goanna and Quantum Toilet Duck for more of Harry Potter and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You can read it in your free period after Thursday lunch.

Rebuild of Elmer Studios, year thirteen

The thirteenth year of the Rebuild of Elmer Studios (one of those cases where the qualifier has become almost irrelevant since the rebuild has massively outlasted the original in terms of both lifespan and number of episodes) was another good one for us. The changes to our schedule worked out well; we completed x episodes, easily hitting a steady one-per-month rate that we've been aiming for.

This last year was one of those cases where a single fic dominated the year. Not only was it the longest fic we did in this last year, but it so massively dominated the year as to blot out everything else we covered. Not only that, but it definitely became one of those fics that will be with us for a long, long time to come.

But it wasn't the only fic we covered, of course. So let's look at them first.
