    No it could not. :p

    But more serious, I wanted the Sailors to be the real deal with the Wizards being aware of them being reincarnated beings from the Golden Age of Magic that ended with the destruction of the places like the Moon Kingdom and Atlantis. The girls are too aware of the magical community outside of the Japan, but only the Outer Senshi had any interactions with it and that was when Harry Potter wasn't in an international spotlight anymore.

    Had this plot bunny a while ago.

    Godric and Salazar – The Somewhat Different Story

    For using cunning and words to seduce women is what Salazar did best. Surely, a man with such noble goals cannot be faulted for his heritage as Slytherin. – Godric Gryffindor

    Daring, bold, and valiant even in the face of mad husbands and lovers. No one ever said that the honor of House Gryffindor had to extend beyond the battlefield. – Salazar Slytherin


    ~ Act I ~​


    “Godric, flee!” A distraught, feminine voice rang through a room in one of the countless homes of London.

    “Where to?”

    “The window upstairs is open. Make haste. He will be here soon!”

    A few seconds later, a man with unruly brown hair sprinted up the stairs, fastening his belt on the run. Just as he climbed out of the window, a third voice – the threat to his life – spoke with his conquest of the night.

    “I’m home, woman. Now…”

    Not wanting to hear anything else, Godric climbed down from the roof and was soon on his way to the ‘Roasted Boar’. It was a fine establishment, where a good coin was always appreciated, and a favorite customer was served the best mead on the isles.

    Godric grimaced. He wasn’t a favorite customer; not even a liked one. It was unfortunate indeed, but hated and only accepted because he could pay fit better. He wasn’t even looking for problems most of the time, but his tendency of courting women who were already spoken for made him rather unpopular.

    Dancing naked on the table hadn’t helped his case either.

    After Godric had arrived at the tavern and walked inside, he groaned. It was filled to the brim – this way it could take quite a while for him to get something to drink. And it was too early to bump ‘accidentally’ into other customers. He sighed, and settled on watching the room for a while.

    As always, it was filled guardsmen ditching their duties, a few careless noblemen, some whores, and a big bunch of otherwise boring men and women. The only one that caught his eye was a stranger sitting at a table in a shady corner. The man’s cloak was riddled with holes, which confused Godric, as the man’s face had noble features.

    Then, Godric felt something he didn’t come along all too often. Magic.

    “What is it this time, you plague?” The rough voice of the bartender ended his contemplations prematurely. “Make your order fast ‘n stay out of trouble, or I’ll boot ya out before ya can draw your sword.”

    “But, Rendell! I don’t even have my sword with me tonight.” Godric grinned. “If you give me some of your best nothing will happen. You have my solemn vow.”

    “Knock it off, brat. Ya get nothing but the normal mead, and if I see ya stirring up trouble ‘gain, you’re outta here, forever!”

    With those words, a big jug found its way into Godric’s hand, and some coins wandered into Rendell’s pocket. As he looked for a place to sit down, his eyes fell once again on the poor looking stranger. This time, green eyes met his stare, and with a subtle nod the man beckoned Godric to his table. For a few minutes they sat in silence, each nursing their drink.

    “So, you’re a wizard,” Godric said.

    He was answered with silence. There was, however, a visible change in posture in the stranger. The man took his hand from his mug and moved it into his cloak.

    “No need to draw your weapon, friend. You’re in England here, and wizards are neither hunted nor persecuted. I take it you’re not from here?”

    Godric looked past the strange man, and his eyes trailed the firm ass of a barmaid with slender form and long, black hair. Her behind practically begged to be fondled.

    “Who is she? The woman of your dreams?” the stranger asked. His voice sounded rough and unused.

    “Only for one kind of dream.” Godric laughed.

    The stranger nodded. “What is the problem, then? Why not try your luck?”

    “I did, but the moment I mentioned my sword, she slapped me and walked away.”

    Godric noticed the green eyes lighting up with unholy glee, but ignored it in favor of watching Beth’s glorious backside.

    “It looks like you possess the subtlety of a batter ram,” said the stranger. “If you want, I can help you. The name’s Salazar.”

    “Salazar, eh? I’m Godric, and if you want to help feel free to do so.”

    “It is, in truth, rather easy. Woman like her value persistency above all else. Just try again and be yourself. You’ll see… It will work.”

    “Are you sure?”

    “I am. Just meet me in the alley next to the pub in an hour and tell me how it went.”

    Salazar’s voice was gentle, and by now, Godric assumed that under the man’s hard shell, the heart of a true romantic was buried. He nodded in thanks to Salazar, emptied his mug, and made his way over to the beautiful barmaid.

    “Beth!” Enthusiastic and bold, he made his move on the fair maiden.

    “You again?”

    “Indeed, it is I! I may have been hasty last time, but if you want to talk about sheaths instead of swords, I see no problem.”

    “You- You-“

    The anger in her voice was unmistakable, but Godric’s expression changed to one of confusion as a third voice joined them.

    “Is this brute bothering you?” Salazar asked from behind.

    “Bothering? This pig disgusts me!”

    In one motion, Salazar reached into his cloak and pulled out a finely crafted dagger. He held it under Godric’s chin. “Be gone, fool! This lady doth not want to deal with thee!”

    A look of betrayal crossed Godric’s face. He was about to pull his wand, when he heard Rendell’s voice from behind the counter. “Ya making trouble, brat?”
    Red with shame and anger, Godric left the pub without another word.

    ~ Act II ~​


    Two hours later, whistling a merry tune, Salazar stepped into the dark alley near the pub to see. He may have been a bit harsh on Godric with his scheme, but the man had needed advice, and the best advice was always a lesson well learned.

    "You! You miserable bastard!" An angry voice came from his right.

    Salazar turned around and saw Godric stand at the other end of the alley; wand and sword in hand.

    “Calm down, Godric.”

    Salazar seldom shied away from battle, but a full blown duel in the middle of London wasn’t something he wanted to do.

    "Calm down? How can I calm down? You rat betrayed me! You said you'd help me!"

    “Let me explain, and you will see,” answered Salazar. “If, afterward, you still need to vent we can do so in a less crowed place.”

    “Explain then, wretch.”

    “First, I never specified with what I’d help you… You lack subtlety my friend, and I helped you to notice that. You saw it, didn’t you? The fury in her eyes when those uncouth words left your mouth.”

    “This was supposed to be some kind of lesson?”

    “In a way. I dare say you learned it well.” Salazar couldn’t help himself. His lips quirked upward.

    Godric didn’t put his wand away, but pointed it toward the ground for the moment. “What happened after I left? I’ve been waiting here for hours.”

    “That, my friend, is the second part of your lesson. To seduce women who aren’t depraved, you have to use cunning as well.” Salazar’s grin widened.

    “Seduce… You mean?”

    “Indeed, I do. I tell you, Godric, that woman was a true basilisk in the hay.”

    Godric looked at him, disbelief written all over his face. After a few seconds, he sheathed his sword with a sigh and pocketed his wand.

    “You know, I’m leaving this town soon. It might be fun to have someone with me on the ride,” said Godric. “Are you up for a bit of travelling?”

    “There’s nothing that holds me in this town. I thing I saw the best of it tonight.”

    They walked slowly out of the alley, and despite the situation, equally perverted grins found their way on both faces.

    “Salazar?”

    “Yes?”

    “You know that you have to tell me everything about tonight.”

    “That I can do, Godric. That I can do…”

    // Well, that's it. The story would feature their 'adventures' in an episodic way.

    I think you are missing Dr Who in most of those years. The way he pops up you could just throw a /Dr Who into the end of most years on the list.

    Actually, now that I remember it, a map could be useful for keeping track.

    Dr. Who is almost purely sci-fi. Doesn't fit with "Magical and Supernatural".

    Alright, so it is science fantasy. But still. When I think Magical, I think "Harry Potter", "Dracula", "Alice in Wonderland", not "Doctor Who".

    The Doctor is the archetypical wizard. If Albus Dumbledore could regenerate, he'd be like the Doctor. Almost precisely so, if you look at Classic Who.

    You have Goblins - which are filthy xeno scum ;) - and in Hogwarts you have Room of Requirement which is magical TARDIS, well almost.

    That's the reason it's in the sci-fi genre, but if you think about it for a moment everything they have is pretty much out of a fantasy story. Everything from the Sonic Screwdriver (wand) to the way brains is emphasised over brawn lends itself to the fantasy genre more than sci-fi.

    I mean shit, we've got magic wands, psychic creatures, sapient asteroids/vessels/animals/etc. and even possession/souls. We've even had the fucking Devil himself as an adversary.

    Doctor Who is fantasy in the same way that Star Wars is (though SW does tend more to the sci-fi with the space battles); it has all the trappings of fantasy with a few token nods in the direction of its advertised genre.

    You have some girly anime, or whatever W.I.T.C.H. is, for 2004 but no Van Helsing?

    I am disappoint :colbert:

    edit: Also, your date for HTTYD seems some 700 years too late. I mean, I know it's fiction, but Vikings, man. Rather closer to William the Conqueror than the beginnings of industrialism.

    I hated the Van Helsing movie. Hated it. And I saw it in the theater when it came out.

    Good point on the HTTYD though.

    This one stood out to me: 1981 - Evil Dead.

    Voldemort was making use of the Necronomicon in the first war. Summoning beings so terrifying that the wizarding world trembles. The real reason why the name Voldemort is so feared.

    Nonsense!
    Harry Potter is always either traveling to an alternate HP universe, being visited by a Harry from one of said alternate HP universes, or creating said alternate universe through his own actions.

    Any source of inspiration is a good one... hopefully.

    The dates are what really make this list useful, I think.

    [EDIT: Oh, and since it's on the list, I just thought I'd mention that, if anyone has seen the movie Practical Magic and is thinking about reading the book...

    My sincere recommendation is that you DON'T.

    In my personal and oh-so-humble opinion, the book is boring shit, while the characters are totally flat, lifeless, and not even remotely likeable. Frankly, the real magic here (other than the author somehow not getting sued for the title being the very definition of false advertising) is that someone read that insufferable maundering and actually fashioned it into an in-any-way-enjoyable screenplay; so, my hat's off to Robin Swicord, Akiva Goldsman, and Adam Brooks, for doing the mother-fucking impossible.

    Honestly, having both watched the movie and read the book, I can only assume the screenwriters liked the title and the names of the characters and said, "We need something full of 'girl power' that guys can sit through without starting to hemorrhage from every orifice. Think we can get away with using this title and combination of character names, without using anything else from the book or even so much as admitting our movie is related to it? No? Well, shit... I guess we'll have to pay royalties to Hoffman and pretend the book and movie actually have fuck-all to do with each other. But, for the love of God, make sure that woman doesn't get script approval; this thing has to be entertaining enough to make its money back, after all."

    This is one clear cut case where that whole "The book is always better than the movie." notion gets flushed straight down the toilet: Just ghastly. It makes the cast members' mauling of the pronunciation of 'Hecate' downright forgivable by comparison. The movie's characters of Jet and Frances approach being amazing, considering the written versions of them are, in essence, what the Monty Python folks would call, "Sir Not-appearing-in-this-book."

    That book should have been titled "Practically Nonexistent," in honor of its plot and characterization.

    Also, the author manages to mention food, either literally or as a metaphor, on nearly every damned page. So, if you're the suggestible type, prepare to be a(n even bigger) fucking self-loathing fat-ass by the time you finish eating your way through the book. At the risk of looking like a hypocrite, I'd say the movie is, if a tad heavy on the empty calories, a delightful confection, while the book is as bland and flavorless as the pulped trees it is printed on.

    Cheers!
    Just a friendly warning.]

    Don't worry, I'm with you on this one. But, the Whovians will weep softly into their tea (which they're stirring, forlornly, with replica sonic screwdriver spoons) if you're too much of a big meanie to let them double dip by including their bafflingly much-beloved Doctor Who in both the Sci-Fi and Magical Fantasy categories. :rolleyes:


    If anyone seriously bites at this pathetically obvious bait, I will be severely disappointed, but not all that surprised.



    *I'll go ahead and pretend my spellchecker isn't bitching at me for writing "bafflingly."

    This entire list is something I have on my PC to have useful dates for things. So yeah, Harry Potter is there as well. I then took this list and posted it here so it could be used for crossovers.

    The heliopath open its maw, but its voice was surprisingly human.

    "You thought you a master of dark magic, but you only learned it. Use it. You are a servant of it."

    "I was born in it, raised by it. I bathed in its fiery power and thrived."

    The maw twisted into a feral smile.

    "And I shall share it with the world."
