The Five

[Schmergo]

Yes, I'm working on Chapter Four of the sequel right now. It's gonna be a good one!

[salthegemini]

It IS a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slowlearner]

just wondering but the person wo wrote this did you have mental therapy before or after you wrote it?!?



jk, i dont read this stuff but a pretty good writer you must be to write all of it =)

[Schmergo]

Well, I've never had mental therapy, but some people say I should...

Thanks, I guess. (Hee, you sound like Yoda.)

[Schmergo]

Hey, I speak Chinese!

No, I'm just kidding. That's really weird, though.

[Me *hearts* HP]

Hey, did you know schmergo that part six of the five I think on mnfanfiction doesn't show when you click on it... I really want to read it...!!!!

[Schmergo]

Part six does... but part seven doesn't because it's not accepted yet.

[Me *hearts* HP]

I see, ok. darn...

[HeidiGirl]

Yay! Potter's Pentagon! I love this story! In fact, I found this site by following your link on Mugglenet Fanfiction! Yay (again)!!!!!!!!

[Schmergo]

YAAAAY! This is a very early draft of the first book that I wrote a long, long time ago (I think two years). So I'm rather embarrassed that it's still online.

[Kiren Brockett]

*dies of laughter* I was just about to correct you and say it was Potter's Hexagon. *chortles* Ignore me...

Feel free to make an actual account, Heidi.

[Schmergo]

HAHAHAHAHA, if anyone who's read my story sees Hexagon, they will think it's a blatant rip-off. Little do they know...

[HeidiGirl]

-audible laughter-! I probably would make an account, but then I'd forget about it. And, for some reason, it's easier to remember to keep visiting this site, when I don't have an actually account (I'm weird like that.)

Schmergie, The Past was fantastic and brilliant and magnificent! And splendid. And incredible. And marvelous. Just pretend I used more synonyms.

*laughs at everyone who hasn't read it yet* Oh, wait, I'm sorry. That wasn't very thoughtful of me. ... Then again, when am I ever thoughtful? *goes back to laughing*

Seriously, though, I'm not sure how much of it I can talk about on here without spoiling it for your fans... so I'll be really vague.

You get extra points for the potato thing, though. And I get points deducted for figuring out the ENTIRE Zabini subplot on page three or something, because it means I need to get a life. All werewolves mentioned in this story are win. A certain couple is the most awesome thing ever. Anatoly is suspiciously identical to one of my characters, only mine has an American accent and a different name. I think we did that on our own again. We REALLY need to stop doing that.

You get penalties for Ted and Ivy's middle names being different from mine, which trips me up, using the word "falcon" for anything ever, and making an obscure and possibly unintentional Monty Python reference that made me burst out laughing, giving away the fact that I was reading under the table.

I think you should sell t-shirts that say "I Believe in Tyrone's Mustache." I, personally, would buy twelve.

In other news, while I was walking Toby today, I met a guy with two Airedales, and they got to play. These are the first Airedales that Toby has seen since we got him. It was kind of awesome. We ended up talking to Airedale Dude for half an hour or so about how nobody under 80 has Airedales anymore. Squeeeeee!

[HeidiGirl]

Ah, yes. Tyrone's infamous 'mustache'. I believe it exists, mostly because I know exactly what you mean, because a guy in my class has a mustache just like it; of course, he isn't always boasting about it.

Actually, most of your characters are exactly like people I know. Here is an easy to follow (not really,) compare and contrast chart:

Haley - Tabby (They even look the same!)
Jordan - Malcolm the Monkey (Tabby's brother, we're all in the same grade, but M and T aren't twins, T skipped a grade and started school half a year early.)
Emma - Me! (If I looked perfect and was more athletic than I am.)
Tyrone - That kid in my class I was typing about (Except I don't think he has a crush on me.)

(Warning, book two of Potter's Pentagon spoilers ahead; beware!)
Arden - This girl named Sarah (Except she is not a werewolf, and she's far more depressing than Arden.)

That's all I can think of now, ciao!

[Kiren Brockett]

A guy Schmergo and I knew had a mustache in fourth grade. Not a Tyrone-mustache either-- a legitimate furry mustache. *twitch*

Let's see... who on the Crow's Nest is most like the Geometric Shape of Some Kind characters...

Haley- A combination of Schmerghanne and Catherine, perhaps?
Jordan- A combination of Zim and Nemo.
Emma- Apparently Heidi. And maybe a bit of Sal?
Ivy- Me, I suppose, although not really, and definitely not Schmergizzle's Ivy.
Tyrone- A combination of Jay and Thanquol.
Ted- Kane? Xero? Kloud? All of the above?

[Schmergo]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

You are right! Especially about Joradn and Tyrone! I will add that there's also some of me in Jordan and Emma. Different sides of my personality manifest themselves in different characters.

And yes, that fellow had a Man Moustache at the age of ten.

[HeidiGirl]

Schmergo, I read a review for this story on MNFF, and it said that Emma was a Mary-Sue. I personally never thought so; because in a way perfection can be a flaw. Emma also has a random sense of humor, and Mary-Sues don't have a humorous bone in their body.

That friends, was my pop-tart induced rant about the character of Emma. That is all. - H.G.

[HeidiGirl]

Here is a sample of a story I am writing, it's about - well, you'll see. After I finish this story, I'll turn it into a screenplay! Idea courtesy of my dad.

It was a queer little village, that much was certain. Not many people lived in it because in the past, many had left to voyage to America; and the town was so poor, that the younger generation all moved to the city. In fact, the village was small to the point the most families were related somehow.
It had small, narrow, dirt covered streets, and the houses were all cramped and old.
The shopping district was as queer anything; for the stores were in alphabetical order and only sold things that began with their designated letter. The 'A' store sold everything from apples and aardvarks; the 'T' store sold things such as typewriters and toasters, and so on. All stores opened at eight and closed at seven, from Monday to Saturday. The only store that didn't ever open was store 'S'.
It was boarded up desolate. If you asked folk if it was closed because it was haunted, they'd look at you funny and direct you to store 'G' for ghosts (for store 'G' was the only haunted building in town); and if you bothered to point out that it could be 'S' for spirit, they'd tell you "what childish nonsense" that would be the end of the subject.
The shop was constantly dark and quiet, except for the occasional bleeping of a computer and ring of a phone; but nobody noticed, they'd hurry on as if they had just remembered somewhere important to be.
This queer, obscure village in Slovakia, was the queerest place on earth. But little did the towns-people know that it was going to get queerer still.


What do you think? I am open to constructive criticism. I know I used the word 'queer' a lot, but that's simply because that's the only way to describe it; you'll understand more later on.
- H.G.

[Schmergo]

I LIKED the repetition.

This story sounds adorably ridiculous, and I like your writing style. So far, it has a nice quaint feel to it, and I love the idea of alphabetical stores. It's too bad there's no "S" store, though-- no one can buy sandwiches, straw hats, or snuffalugaguses.

Hmm...I wouldn't say Emma's a Mary-Sue, because she's terribly tactless and emotionally immature, and never thinks before she does anything. She has pretty much all of the same flaws as Ron except for lack of confidence, and no one thinks Ron's a Gary-Stu. I made her pretty and talented to counterbalance those flaws.
