The Mediochre Q Seth series, otherwise "The Mediochreverse" or just "The Mediochre Series" — although that last sounds unfortunate — is an in-progress five-part Urban Fantasy series by Calum P Cameron. He started writing it while in high school, primarily out of boredom, but also out of a desire to see if he could write a story about a unique and powerful Doctor-like individual while having them remain realistically human and fallible.Also, he really likes dragons.Charlotte Johnson is an Ordinary High-School Student from the USA whose parents have forced her to move to Edinburgh, Scotland — with predictably resentful results on her part. So far, so normal. Then, one day, she is almost run over by a lorry.The driver of this lorry is one Professor Doctor Laird Sir Mediochre Quirinius Seth, PhD MusD MSc CBE OBE MIMC VC-Bar — although he prefers just "Mediochre" or "Dr Seth" — an eccentric dracologist from the parallel society that has existed for generations hidden from Charlotte’s own world by a government-enforced Masquerade. A society very much like her own, but with a few important differences — most obviously: magic.The world turns out to be a lot more dangerous and interesting than Charlotte had initially assumed, full of giant dragons, emotionless half-vampires, powerful magic-users (or "mancers", to use the correct term) and, of course, Mediochre himself, who's never been the same since an accident in his past left him immortal, trapped in a fifteen-year-old body and able to calculate probabilities exactly at the drop of a hat. And those are the people on her side. Or at least, she's pretty sure they are. It's hard to tell, sometimes...For more information, visit the series's website.When complete, the series will consist of: The Good, the Bad and the Mediochre (Available now) — in which Charlotte pretty-much forces her way into Mediochre’s ongoing adventure in returning a rare dragon egg to its mother and thwarting the dragon-slaying attempts of an international smuggling ring. But things are never that simple around Mediochre, and it starts to look like there may be a grander conspiracy at work here... Black, White and Shades of Mediochre (Ditto) — in which a mancy-related murder practically on Charlotte's doorstep gives her a way back into the Mantically Aware world and Mediochre's life, just in time for them to get uncomfortably caught up in the increasingly-murky issue of Undead-human relations. Naturally, it soon turns out that something even worse than murder is going down here, and if someone doesn't stop it then the consequences will be world-changing... Caught Mediochre-Handed — (Also ditto) — in which Maccabeus Fervour's inability to run the country and a risky Batman Gambit by Queen MAB to get rid of him before he starts a war leads to a mass prison escape at the Stygian Secure Unit, leaving Charlotte and Mediochre with a quarantined country and a whole bunch of Unsealed Evils Previously In A Can to deal with while Joseph and Dhampinella become Sealed Good in a Can through the actions of an increasingly paranoid Fervour... Sent into Mediochre-drive MediochrityIn addition, it has become customary for the author to write a "Christmas Special" short story every December — seemingly working his way through the main party of characters and focusing one story on each. Thus far, these include: Born to Raise the Sons of Earth — featuring Joseph Carrion. Please to Put a Penny in the Old Man's Hat — featuring Mediochre himself. A Visit From the Yule Goat — a "poem of ambiguous canonicity" released alongside Please to Put a Penny in the Old Man's Hat. To You and Your Kin — featuring Dhampinella.To date, two non-Christmas short stories have also been released: The Trains Run on Time BookwyrmFor those wondering, the name 'Mediochre' is an intentional pun on 'mediocre' — although in-universe, Mediochre insists it’s a shade of red between pale ochre and dark ochre.The author is a troper, so expect a lot of tropes. |

The Quiet One: Dhampinella was this anyway, but it turns out she was worse as a child. She has exactly one spoken line in the entire story. Oddly, Melinoe is apparently good enough at reading whatever signals Dhampinella does give off to continue the conversation, leading to something like a Newhart Phonecall between two people who are both in the same room. |

Mysterious Middle Initial: Averted with Mediochre Q Seth, who freely admits that his middle name is Quirinius. However, in a more meta example, the author publishes under Calum P Cameron, and makes several jokes out of what the P could potentially stand for. |

Unicorns Prefer Virgins |
| Mediochre Q Seth Series / int_34a592b6 |
comment |
Unicorns Prefer Virgins: The standard method for hunting unicorns is to get a young female virgin to stand in the middle of a forest clearing and hide nearby with a gun. The heroes try to foil this when they find it happening by getting Charlotte — a younger female virgin — to stand in a different clearing, thus attracting any unicorns away from the hunters. |

comment |
Epunymous Title: Every book in the series will have a pun on Mediochre's name in the title. The Good, the Bad and the Mediochre is a pun on 'mediocre' meaning 'of middling quality' and a reference to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Black, White and Shades of Mediochre is a pun on 'ochre' and a reference to the Morality Kitchen Sink (Black, White and Shades of Grey). Hopefully not a reference to any other shades of grey. Caught Mediochre-Handed is a pun on 'red-handed'. Sent Into Mediochre-drive is a pun on 'over-drive'. Mediochrity is a pun on 'Mediocrity' — 'the quality of being mediocre'. |

Immortality Immorality: A major theme of the series. Maelstrom in the first book, the necromancer in the second and Stormhold Elect in Born to Raise the Sons of Earth are all major Heavy villains who can cheat death and are at least partially motivated by a desire to continue cheating death. Melz somehow manages to be an aversion, remaining a kindly old lady. Mediochre himself... is trying to avert it, but he's pretty bad at it. |

| Mediochre Q Seth Series / int_4583a262 |
comment |
Shirtless Scene: Mediochre, Melinoe and Joseph each get one. Mediochre's is completely non-Fanservicey because he's physically fifteen and being eaten by a worm at the time; Melinoe's would be Fanservicey if she wasn't covered in her own blood at the time (mind you, some people like that...); and Joseph's... well, [[Fanservice the fans deserved something]]... |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Mediochre is arrogant and has a nasty temper, but he cares deeply about people and consistently tries to do the right thing. Your Almighty God is even more of a condescending, narcissistic Insufferable Genius than Mediochre is, but he's always eager to help save people without complaint. |

Shades of Conflict: Referenced by the title. For the most part, the denizens of the Dusk are White, while the Humanist Movement and the Edinburgh Kiss are two opposing types of Black. Maccabeus Fervour is Grey bordering on Black, with Queen MAB and the main party as A Lighter Shade of Grey. The necromancer is a whole new level of Black, but we still don't really know what shade The Organisation Which I Represent is. |

Celibate Eccentric Genius |
| Mediochre Q Seth Series / int_603f9ec9 |
comment |
Celibate Eccentric Genius: Mediochre. The genius is natural, the eccentricity is implied to be his way of coping with his unusual life, and the celibacy... well, he's physically fifteen and practically immortal. It'd be awkward. |

Four-Temperament Ensemble: The main four. Mediochre is Choleric (Hot-Blooded, occasionally tempestuous, dominant, etc) Joseph is Sanguine (enthusiastic, cheerful, etc) Dhampinella is Melancholic (detached, brooding, etc) Charlotte is Phlegmatic (Well, sort-of — believers in the Four Humours would probably have filed her under Leukine, actually, but compared at least to Mediochre she's a bit of an introverted people-person.) |

It's Personal with the Dragon: The relationship of greatest enmity in the book is that between Mediochre and Maelstrom, the man who very nearly killed him centuries ago, directly led to his current condition, and who literally kills Mediochre's favourite animals for a living. Plot-wise, however, Maelstrom is at best a Dragon with an Agenda to Sapphire and Unwitting Pawn of the tempomancer. |

Anti-Hero: Mediochre and Joseph both, in different ways. Mediochre aims to be an Ideal Hero but his impatience, hot-bloodedness and frightening capacity for cruelty when you push his Berserk Button cause him to fall short. Joseph, meanwhile, is a Pragmatic Hero more than willing to commit morally reprehensible deeds out of loyalty to Mediochre and his plans. |

Titled After the Song: Named for a line in 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas'. The full phrase is "Good tidings we bring/To you and your kin", making this an ironic Complete-the-Quote Title, since the tidings brought between the two families are far from good. |

comment |
Non-Malicious Monster: It's noted that 'monster' is just the term for a mancy-related pest. The titular Bookwyrm is just a slightly obsessive reading enthusiast who only poses a threat because it doesn't understand the importance of correct book preservation. |
