09/05/2013: Hey, better a two year wait than another five year wait, right? Part 50 of IWSI is now up. Enjoy!

The List for Life is the laughable result of the state of boredom only achievable after three hours sitting in a muddy racecourse at a rock festival in Southern Ireland waiting for the next act. The rest is on my website, The Nightraider's Domain.

- Volleyballs have all the elements of a comedic tragedy if used correctly.
- Do not give LSD to guide-dogs.
- Beware of the midgies.
- It is entirely possible to dislocate your toe when in the shower.
- Do not teach someone how to program a VCR over the phone.
- Do not teach someone how to use an iMac over the phone.
- Licking an electrical cable will not turn you into a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger.
- Never let your mother put clingfilm on your head.
- No matter what the free hat looks like, never drink more than three pints of Guinness on St. Patrick's Day.
- By 10.30pm, one toilet will be used only by those who need to puke, break up, or have an emotional breakdown on their mate's shoulder.

- Searching underneath your bed will always turn up at least two items you have to hide from your mother.
- The weather will change from tropical sunshine to hurricane conditions the instant you decide to wear sandals.
- Do not sit on a Tamagotchi if you want it to live.
- Any incriminating photos of male flatmates in female underwear should be sold off to the highest bidder ASAP.
- Before said sell off, make sure those babies hit the Internet anyway.
- The last sweet in a box of Quality Street will always be a Penny Toffee.
- Videogames can be sold to friends for a tidy profit if low on cash.
- Flameproof oven gloves are a contradiction in terms.
- Learn how to rewind the film before opening the camera.
- Scratching it only makes it worse.

- Do not hum 'I Will Survive' if trying to comfort a recently dumped mate.
- Let your mind splash around in the gutter for at least an hour a day.
- You do not really want to know what that smell is.
- Do your Christmas shopping in November. It annoys male flatmates like anything.
- Buy a stupid hat your mother banned you from buying at least once in your life.
- When all else fails, ask the Magic 8 Ball. It's never wrong.
- Smack all those who take photos of your bottom.
- A burning ham can fly further than you think.
- Never try to surf in a swimming pool.
- Bacardi and Tizer is a dangerous mix.

The ones we came up with on the site were way worse.

Most Likely To Say:

'I'm an unashamed geek. It works well for me.'

'It's Wednesday, which means it's nearly Thursday, which means it's almost Friday, which means it's practically the end of the week!'

'I just accept the insanity and run with it.'

'...I thought it seemed like a good idea at the time?'

'Oh come on, work you BITCH!!'

'Let it never be said that my anal-retentive attention to detail never yielded positive results.'

'I have standards...sort of.'

'I happen to like my inner Hades. We get on reasonably well together and gang up on other people.'

'If at first you don't succeed...cheat like hell and run for the hills.'

'I don't do the rebuilding bridges thing with exes. I burn the bridges, then run like hell.'

'I'm just making it clear to him that if he ever hurts you again, even just for a second, I'll rip out his genitals via his throat.'

'When I'm the voice of sanity, you know something's wrong.'

'Sheesh. And they say romance is dead.'

'OK, you do not wanna know what I'm thinking right now.'

'I now know how it feels when all your internal organs shrivel up and die in abject horror.'

'I am going to hit you SO HARD...'

'Welcome to my world. It's a scary scary place.'

'Oh cock.'

'I point out right now that women think with the wrong part of their anatomy as well.'

Proffered proofs of my insanity or writings...

Nightshift: (ONE-SHOT) Transformers fic, published 22/05/12. A bored Optimus is a thoughtful Optimus. A thoughtful Optimus is a curious Optimus. A curious Optimus means a peeved Ratchet...

Presents: COMPLETE. Transformers fic, completed 25/12/12. Rumble and Frenzy should've been sparked with gags on their vocalisers. Unfortunately for Soundwave, they weren't. To make matters worse, they've now told Ratbat about a certain winter holiday...

Creations: COMPLETE. Transformers fic, completed 22/09/07. Stretch the idea of fatherhood and squint slightly; you have Soundwave. But you don't need to try imagining the Cassettes as children. They're still acting like them after several million years...

Snowmechs: (ONE-SHOT) Transformers fic, published 21/08/07. Snow does have fringe benefits, even for Soundwave and the Cassettes. Mainly embarrassing ones...

Sniffles: (ONE-SHOT) Transformers fic, published 19/07/07. Baby-sitting a sick Ratbat. The world and the Cassettes both fear...

Forgotten: Pokemon fic, updated 08/07/07. Angst and nastiness abound.

The Fight of a Bumblebee: (ONE-SHOT) Harry Potter fic, published 15/04/04. Harry wasn't the first person to be called the One. In 1944, the Dark Lord of the forests and the one of the strong flying light were prophesied to duel...

I Am The Borg: (ONE-SHOT) Star Trek: TNG/First Contact fic, published 01/10/03. While the Cube approaches Earth, the Borg Queen discovers when humanity is most vulnerable to attack through the memories of Locutus...

Sins of the Fathers: The Ionia-jin Saga: COMPLETE. Dragonball Z fic, completed 28/11/02. One thing... KITARA IS NOT A MARY-SUE! I despise Mary-Sue fics! Anyway, if she was a Mary-Sue, she'd be a Super Saiyan at the age of 5, and she'd be with Vegeta.

Tundra: (ONE SHOT) Dragonball Z fic, published 24/04/02. Lil' angsty look about what made Frieza the charming little being we all know and love.

I'll Be Watching You: (ONE SHOT) Gundam Wing fic, published 28/04/03. Songfic post-Endless Waltz, the relationship between two of the pilots is going down faster than a burning Spitfire. Slash goodness abounds, so if you don't like, don't read.

No flames please. I live with one.

22/11/06: In reference to the reviews for IWSI, and because some people haven't gotten the hint... IWSI is a DISNEY fic, therefore the Greek mythology on which it's based on has been greatly twiddled with, mostly because of my planned plotlines, but occasionally because of reasons of taste. I know about the inaccuracies, and I have done my research. I know that Hades was the eldest of the three brothers in mythology and Zeus was the youngest - this is the DISNEY version where it's the other way round. So this is my plea to everyone; PLEASE STOP REVIEWING SIMPLY TO TELL ME I'M WRONG ABOUT SOMETHING. It's annoying and condescending - anyone who does not respect my wishes will find their reviews summarily ignored, or in persistent cases, deleted. OK? Good.
