Fanfic: A New World

An interesting fanfic project, A New World is an idea of what would happen when Azeroth meets our world. It can be found here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6803330/1/A_New_World

Not to be confused with New World, with which it shares no similarities.

Badass: The U.S. Marines certainly count.
- So does the Secret Service.
Badass Normal: Hillary Clinton talking down two leaders warring against each other.
Big Damn Heroes: The trio of Marines would have likely died fighting undead if a group of adventurers hadn't bailed them out.
Celebrity Paradox: In this fic, there is no World of Warcraft game on Earth, but World of Warhammer in order to prevent the Earth humans from instantly knowing everything about Azeroth.
Genre Savvy: One of the Marines instantly starts aiming for headshots when he realizes his team is fighting zombies, and encourages the others to do the same.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: However, the fact that Azeroth's undead work differently from the kind in zombie movies works against him.
The Magic Goes Away: The ambient mana on Earth is much weaker than in Azeroth. It doesn't make casting spells impossible for Azerothians, but casting is much more difficult on Earth.
Nuclear Weapons Taboo: A Gnomish mage gets visibly upset when Barack Obama mentions nukes in front of him. Given what happened to Gnomeregan in the backstory, this is understandable.
Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: When Rhonin's temper flares. "THAT'S IT! THE NEXT BEING TO ANNOY ME GETS SET ON FIRE!
Shout Out: A few.
- Some of the Marines are named after StarFist characters.
- Gelbin Mekkatorque claims that one mage or engineer is worth 42 shamans.
- Looks like Dr. Leo Spaceman has moved up in the world.
What the Hell, Hero?: A Night Elf rogue decides to test the competency of the Secret Service by faking a possible threat. Her party leader called her out on the stupidity of her little stunt, though.
