Current mood:jealous

The lady doth protest too much
Wasn't going to post this, but it reminded me a lot of that FictionAlley wank not long ago, except wankier.

Cmdrtsl: Writers are too restrained, because they refuse to write fics where people "fix" history by going back in time to save the Romanovs.

Cougarmint: You're right! Anti-Mary Sue people are evil because they stifle my creativity!

Um, WTF? That had to do with what he said...how?

In the rest of her post, we learn:

Anti-MS = "Advanced" fandom. (I am so L33T!!!!11!)

OCs that aren't Mary Sues are ugly and therefore uninteresting!

Rattle on about your OC all you want, 'cause that equals "depth", no matter how it sidelines the canon characters.

MS tests say that if you plan your character she's a Mary Sue. Since they say that research is bad, they must be wrong! *beats straw man*

...and later, reiteration of the world's oldest anti-anti-Sue argument:

Fan fic is supposed to be FUN anyway. No one should dictate any certain rules like they own the Canon Character. The only one who makes the rules should be the creator of the character!

Besides, If the creators really want to get nasty (like Ann Rice did) they can SUE everyone that does fan fiction. So, why make "fan fic" rules? As long as the character is treated with love and proper credit is given, why should there be this MS buisness?


And then I wanked back. I'm not too pretentious proud to admit it. :P

And then later: I'm writing a novel with a character you can't help but love!
