Ensign Sue and the U.S.S. Srs Bzns
It's a beautiful day in the [info]fanficrants neighborhood. The sun is shining, birds are chirping, people are ranting. [info]amandasapanda stomps in to let the community know, in no uncertain terms that Star Trek fanfic is for real characters and not stinky OCs.



She starts out so hopeful FFR will validate her. Of course, it's not a grudge at all! And she certainly didn't make any personally abusive flames about the story. Why, she doesn't even know anything about the canon! Proof if ever I saw it.

She also doesn't approve of OCs written for some pedophile anime, a term some commenters object to. But regardless of your opinions, [info]amandasapanda has no time for your nonsense rules about punctuation. Besides, a rant comm is for ranting!

Bingo cards fill up and drinking games are discussed.

Finally, someone asks what the hell the fuss is all about, allowing [info]amandasapanda to to vent her wanky spleen:

Um, let's see...

Stupid Japanese name because God forbid otaku keep their anime and their decent fandoms separate.
Member of a telepathic race when every telepath on Voyager is already accounted for in the episode the fic is based off of.
Some kind of relationship with Tuvok.
Whiny emo teenager thoughts totally unfitting a professional...


Unsuprisingly, [info]amandasapanda receives a friendly tap from the FFR banhammer.

The next, [info]sadpandaamanda returns triumphant to announce that she wasn't really wrong. She had done her research, FFR! Mary-Sue rants are totes permitted and she expects her banning to be reversed! Anyways, everyone should agree with her because "cutting doesn't work that way"

The author in question is curious

[info]justgwenhwyfar: ...cutting doesn't work what way, exactly? Just... curious.

[info]sadpandaamanda: The way you wrote it, obviously.

She doesn't care about the opinion of FFR because there are a lot of whiny goth brats around here who wouldn't know real problems if they smacked them in the face. Sues are srs bzns when you've had a family member die and the story is just trivializing their manner of death

But, she really has a point to prove, FFR. And banning her again will not stop her. Oh, no, not plucky girl detective [info]amandasapanda [info]sadpandaamanda [info]uknowwhatamanda.

I just thought I'd let you guys know the kind of shit you've been defending. Hopefully a few of you will have the sense to be ashamed of yourselves. I don't have my hopes up but you never know.

A disturbing amount of tl;dr and grudgy sporking follow. She's going to PROVE that this character is a Sue if she has to create a hundred sockpuppets. Mod [info]maeveth wants to know if anything she says is getting through the thick layer of crazy Amanda has slathered on. [info]uknowwhatamanda replies that no, it hasn't.


FFR actually seems to be enjoying this. Several people have asked if they can keep the new panda as the comm's pet troll and the mods have granted a macro amnesty on these posts. So if the comments don't grab you, you can always pick up a few new macros for the next wank!


ETA: She's back and three four consecutive bannings have not dampened her trolly little spirits. Not one little bit.


ETA: Trolly McTroll is back and this time, she's confessing to being [info]justgwenhwyfar, the author she so viciously trolled. So far FFR is not impressed.



ETA: [info]justgwenhwyfar shows up to deny being such a faily troll. Mod [info]kutsuwamushi says pics or it didn't happen and Mod [info]maeveth is sexily obscure about the results.

And she's totally justified because the author writes her original characters under another pseudonym!

Such purely concentrated crazy. It's almost inspirational.

She came back again? *reads links* Damn. She gets points for persistence.
Needless to say, I was wondering when this would show up here.

*Sigh* Why does all the fun happen while I'm in class?

At least she posted her third entry while I was at work and not while I was suffering insomnia. Considerate, that.

There's a sf_drama post about it too, though some of the comments disparaging fanfiction made me eyetwitch.

So, are you actually not allowed to post Mary Sue rants on FFR? I never go there, and I didn't see anything about it in the rules.

What makes this even more hilarious is that Star Trek is the fandom that coined the term Mary Sue in the first place.

Thank the goddess, a good-ole-fashioned fanficrants wank with all the trimmings and not a trace of unfunny. I think this just made my night (and from the looks of things, it'll be one for the books, if not the wiki.)

So, you're not allowed to give your ST OC a Japanese name because if you want Japanese characters, you should stick to anime? George Takei wants to have a word with her.

Gotta look at this when I get home. My work computer doesn't like graphics, and I want to see the macros.

I will admit, the troll did piss me off here:

She has a birth defect: Congenital hip dysplasia, or a dislocated hip. While she had surgery as a baby to return her hip joint to its proper place it did not cure her, and now she has some amount of pain in one or both hips on a daily basis. She often walks with at least a slight limp, and on bad days it's severe enough to make walking almost impossible.

Stupid made-up disability that probably doesn't keep her from doing anything unless there's a hot guy around to help her? Check.


Hip dysplasia is a stupid made-up disability now? And it proves Sueishness? Between that an my mismatched eyes, I must be the biggest Sue ever.

Not only can an OC be not utterly Caucasian and still not be a massive Sue, characters can even have disabilities and not be Sues.

I know, I know, I'm getting pissed off at an idiot for being an idiot.

the best part is that the reason she's being such a wanker over the fic is because she knew the writer of the fics in real life...about two to three years ago. So of course the best course of action to make sockpuppets and flame her fic.
