So, who's up for making some Self Demostrating character pages for Negima?
That would be cool, but I find editting this site a bit on the difficult side. Maybe I could help though.
... You find... editing this site... a bit on the difficult side?
...
How?
TV Tropes is fairly straightforward. Sure, there are things that need a little help, but the format, for the most part, is easy enough, and for everything else, there is markup help.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariI'm a terrible typist. So I contually make mistakes with markup. In addition, I make typos in Wiki Words, or forget the trop name.
I have no idea how to make self-demonstrating the only characters I would want to.
Nous restons ici.The hammier characters are much easier to deal with. I'm half surprised there isn't a Eva one already, actually.
Quite a few Large Hams in Negima really...
Avatar and source?

Madman with a box? I'm a madman with a semi, a pretzel bender and a Heart of Gold!Don't know who the OA for it is, and have no idea where I found it initially. Uploaded the image here though.
Hey, Mage!
What would you say to writing a fic that starts off with Thoma, Touma, Touta, and Gentaro all dying, and then going on adventures in the afterlife together?
The one that turn out fine will be Gentaro. Thoma will go berserk everytime he sees Damsel in Distress (Hulk way, not Marvel!Hercules way), Touma cannot interact with anyone without said anyone disappearing (Imagine Breaker, remember?), and Touta.... I guess he's the one who keep Thoma from hurting (more) innocents... by being alternate target. Which usually ends up with him within one millimeter of his life.
Gentar just trying desperately to raise everyone morals. Well, everyone but Touta.
Depends on whether or not their powers/gear come with them into the afterlife. Our Souls Are Different, so you could make a solid case either way (although it's worth noting that when Gentaro died in canon, he didn't have the Fourze System or his Cosmic Switches on hand - he did still have his Limited Wardrobe, though that's only to be expected...).
I'm slightly derping on why you think Thoma's go Unstoppable Rage every time he spots a Distressed Damsel, though.

I'd just write them all dying. There is no need to continue from there.
<sigh> Yeah, that's about what I figured you'd say.
On Thoma: That's just deliberate Flanderization. Thoma characteristic is that he hates confrontation, and rather gullible. His berserker moment in Force is mostly caused by fighting that goes out of hand, and causing his bloodlust to snap.
Or I just got lazy mind. Most likely that.
From what I've figured, Thoma's not so much gullible as he is (in his words) unable/unwilling to ignore what he perceives as debt.
He knows pretty well that the bad guys are bad, but if they're nice to him or his friends, then he seems to feel compelled to return that favor in kind. Since he's constrained by the law and his own morals in how he can do that, it primarily manifests in the form of being overly polite with them.
Alright, since Uber's pestered me on occasion about it and I detect a slight stirring in the rusted, cobwebbed gears in my head, here's a bit from Project: Arashi, featuring Yuuna even.
2005 hours
Truth be told, Yuuna had expected that the return of all the people who had been transported forward in time by Chao’s special ammunition would look and sound similar to the DeLorean in the Back To The Future films, and was slightly disappointed when it turned out to be nothing more than the familiar black sphere of the displacement effect, a sound like that of a sonic boom, and then the afflicted individuals were there. From their perspective, the transmission between the moment they were struck and now had been instantaneous.
Standing with Hartley, Hotaru, and Katsuki near a fountain at the edge of the park, the gunslinger girl watched and waited as her squadmates popped back into their timestream one after another, finishing up with Matsunaga standing in the same stance that he’d challenged the droid who had eliminated him in, the echoing click of his assault rifle’s bolt cycling a new round into the chamber making a pretty fitting closing statement on the whole affair.
“Well, welcome back, my misguided children,” Yuuna greeted, grinning widely. “So, what have we learned today?”
“Dragons suck,” Hatsu grumbled, thumbing the fire selector of his weapon over to ‘SAFE’ and slinging it up onto the magnetic plate on the back of his armor.
“‘Dragon’ comes before ‘droid’ in the threat priority ranking,” Nishiyama added, reaching up and tugging off his helmet one-handed. Despite the relative warmth of the evening, steam rose from the student-soldier’s head after his exertions, and sweat matted his hair to his face.
“We need a faster way to clear out of buildings, that’s for sure,” Kouya remarked. The medic looked around the area as she spoke, watching the other participants who had been taken out returning in ones and twos, on up to large groups. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason, no order in which people were returning. “If that energy blast had been a JDAM,” she continued, “then Yuuna would have a lot of letters to write.”
That was a sobering, mood-killing thought that Yuuna didn’t even want to entertain. She had just led the last vestiges of the Mage Knights to victory against the droid army, even if she felt her own contribution was insignificant, and was still feeling proud of all their accomplishments, and didn’t want to dwell on the fact that, had this been a real battle, she would have lost nearly all of her command. Acknowledging the point with a nod of her head, she looked between each of the members of her team. “Good points, all, but there’ll be time for that later. For now-”
The crackling booms of more displacement spheres from uncomfortably close to the group prompted Yuuna to stop in midsentence and take several steps away from the fountain pool nearby. It took only another moment to realize that there weren’t any people coming back in the return spheres, most of which were actually hovering above the ground. An instant later, a barrage of small-arms fire hammered against the opposite side of the fountain from them, sparking an entirely-new set of displacement spheres.
“Cover!” Matsunaga shouted, and the entire team hit the ground. Elsewhere around them, even others who were near enough to consider themselves threatened by the unknown attack were seeking out cover and reaching for weapons.
Yuuna spun herself around on her elbows and knees, checking first to see that Hotaru was safe beside her, and then looking in the direction that she deemed the shots to be coming from. Fully expecting to see more droids stomping down the hills looking for another fight, her brow furrowed in confusion when no such threats presented themselves. “Anyone got contacts?” she called out.

Just telling, that with all this hype for Phantom Pain, everyone and their mother in MGS forum can't wait to invite each other in FOB battle.
I'm just hope they're not regretting it.
Also, it seems that physical copy of the game, guess it, only contain Steam installer.
Well, Pirate Bay, here I come.
Well, at least they're not try to pulling that trick EA nearly done with Tiberium Twilight. Yet.
People who don't like steam don't like gaming. It's pretty much the only reason computers are still a viable method.
Nous restons ici.The fact your life sucks does not change the fact that Steam saved the computer gaming market in the early 2000s and it's immensely convenient for the rest of us over managing a shitload of physical media and losing product keys.
Nous restons ici.Predictably,it's going down hill as they find ways to screw it up.
The fun thing is, Steam has endured attempts at fucking it up royally.
And seriously, I think that the paid mods thing would work better by just adding a 'donation' box to everyone's workshop, where Steam just takes a small part of the revenue. There's no reason why the publisher should see a single cent of that money, either.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariPersonally, I always wanted to pay modders commission to work on things I just don't have the time/ambition to do right now. You'd betcher bottom dollar that I'd commission for a Nordic Pantheon mod in a heart beat.
OM! A new SZS has been translated!
Lawful Good hasn't been Lawful Stupid for years tho...
