Well, we asked for more poetic wank...
If I ever had the chance to teach a Mary Sues Wank 101 class, this is what I'd use as a case study. I think this girl used every trick in the book...
Pottersues reports a Mary Sue by Sweet Baby Ninetails named Serenity Starbreeze. (Serenity Starbreeze? The fuck?) Shortly afterwards, the author and her sockpuppet "Bob" throw fits in her reviews over a couple of pieces of constructive criticism, and Bob claims SBN is sick:
Author says:
Ok, that is IT! I've had it! go pick on somebody elses story! I am TRYING to develop this story, but you all won't let me! JUST GO AWAY AND LET ME WRITE!
YOU ARE ALL UBER ANNOYING!
"Bob" says:
oh come on. none of you know her like I do. as one of her best friends, i know that every bit of constructive criticism, which even I take grave offense at and which she doesn't deserve thrown at her in one big lump, hurts her more than you can imagine, you shallow-plated human beings.
I know for a fact that Ninetails cant write when she has such reviews hanging over her head. so how can she develop her charactrs and her story if she keeps getting them? so yeah, you ARE keeping her from developing her story.
take my advice and, seriously, lay off for now, ok?
she has enough hanging over her right now, she doesn't need this right now.
Ninetails, hang in there. I know you wanted to take the story off, but please leave it on. and I hope you'r feeling better soon. things will turn out ok. don't forget to take your vitamins.
oh, and Undiscovered Actress? don't call her sweetheart. she doesn't like that.
Can't write, eh? We should be so lucky...
The next day, the story is taken down, and in her author's profile there appears an angsty poem proclaiming her giving up writing, and a message claiming that her father has cancer, and she's been "crushed" by all her "constructive criticism":
Don't bother looking here,
For what you think you ought to see.
For it has all gone now,
The info about me.
No long am I the happy Ninetails,
Running through the summer lands.
I am trapped in depression,
And sinking in the shifting sands.
When I wish to be left alone,
No one will listen to me.
I want to do this by myself,
With no interference, on my own, just free.
An arrow shot into my soul,
Killing what my joy has freed.
My writing passion is slowly dying,
Withering away as I bleed.
I put aside my paper and pen,
Perhaps for a long while yet.
It may take many days to years,
For my heart to forget.
So say goodbye, this is the end,
I bid farewll to you.
I shall not post for a long time,
And now I say Adieu.
Ninetails, November 24th, 2003.
I have taken too much in the past few weeks. my dad was just diagnosed with cancer, and it is tearing me apart. I have tried to put on a brave front, and take what is thrown my way. But all the constructive criticism I have recieved in the past 24 hours has crushed me (and how come i'm getting so many NOW? that's a conspiral stalking, to quote m'friend Bob) perhaps next time, said reviwers ought to consider what an author might be going through when she says to go away.
Good bye for now.
Sweet Baby Ninetails
I'd mock, but it does a good enough job by itself... ^_^
Edit: A troll shows up and screams in ALL CAPS that she's the one who told Sweet Baby Ninetails about the report, and that she's going to sue for copyright infringement and pottersues "being a bitch". O_o This one seems like it might be a fake, though...
Another edit: MISS ALL CAPS declares war:
LOSERS! I knew it! Bitchy losers.
pottersues says "OMG I'm bad I know it that makes me smart"
and you losers all say "YES U R SO SMART PLZ I SAY NOTHING BAD SO I BE SMART TOO I LOVE YOU I NEED MENTAL HELP OR LESBIAN SEX I DON'T KNOW WHICH I LOVE YOU POTTERSUES"
I am glad you apologized for making Ninetails cry. NOW IT'S TIME TO APOLOGIZE TO THE REST OF US, BITCH!!! AND SHUT THIS WEBSITE DOWN! The real reason I'll sue you doesn't matter. I'll find something to sue you for and make you PAY.
Go ahead and disable anonymous posts! That'll just prove what a stupid hypocrite you are. You can say lots of bad things about people and they can't say anything back! Go and add that to the list of things you are that you feel bad about.
THIS IS WAR!
