Wank in the making in GAFF
And the thread about "Character Mangling in Fanfiction" was okay, with people agreeing and disagreeing and expressing it in a civil manner...

Until Pm Flores arrives.

And the splooge starts to flow

Small, very small, but could become a complete catfight from one moment to another...

Is GAFF even still alive? I thought it got TOSsed away in a sea of self-righteousness.

*blinks*

I'm sorry, I lost after I saw one poster had a quote from what they termed "The Real Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy". which if I was being a nitpicker I'd say looked like a quote from the books which came after the radio series and partly after the tv series but I'm not picky so I won't... um...

I can't wait for all the Legolas fangirls to get over there: Legolas is a minor character at most... Not to mention the Sam/Frodo shippers...

Whoops. ^^; That's my sig. I should've included an URL. "The Real Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is a fan Web site that accepts all kinds of articles with that DON'T PANIC flavor. Check it out at http://www.galactic-guide.com/articles/1R16.html.

Personally I favor the radio series with that wacked-out electric banjo theme. :)

Go electric banjo theme! I liked it so much I found an mp3 of it (the full version is by the Eagles btw).

Pm Flores is doing a whole lotta wanking all over the place over there. Check out... uh, every single thread in the Why God Why section.

PM flores is just about the biggest wad on GAFF right now. She wonders why MarySue sexual fantasies are soooo bad, b/c after all it's just fantasy, right? Writes like a third grader but has apparently brought chldren into the world. Yikes cubed.

The thought that she has birthed children scares me. And yes, I've participated in this wank. Sue me.

My beta and another poster are of the opinion that PMm Flores is a troll, though. Hmm.

I think she is a troll, just there to get attention. I hope she doesn't really have kids! What a bad example.

Goku loves ChiChi. Fucking deal with it bitches.

Yeah, that's some civil discourse right there, and that's before they even got going properly.

And he loves Vegeta, obviously! Duh!

I have never ever found a decently done Vegeta/Goku fanfic. 'Sides, Goku/Chichi is pretty close to become my OTP in the series, and that's from their kids times. and in all th V/G I've seen, Chichi gets terribly bashed. See my problem with it?

In the other hand, do you have links to decent DBZ slash? (Preferently of the Ten Shin Han/Yamcha and/or the Trunks/Goten type, tho.)

Goku seems to care for ChiChi very much...until the end of Z, when he runs off with Ubb. I don't mind Goku/Vegeta or Goku/ChiChi but there seems to be so little good stuff out there. (But that seems to be true of DB fanfiction as a whole!) I do write DBZ slash, not sure if it sucks or not, but I don't bash anyone at least. Two Mirai/Gohan stories up on the site, and I've got a couple more around if you like.

I don't know what you consider decent, but I've been told my fics are fairly spiffy. *adjust pimp hat* You can find them at www.xero-sky.com, if you like. However, Vejiita X Goku was my first OTP, so it may not be your cup of tea.

You'd have to google for them, since I don't have the links handy, but the Hentai Institute and Velvet Unfolding have some good yaoi.

Crono is not a mute. He speaks just as well as anyone else.

~I don't know, I find the idea of Crono being mute very interesting. Then again, I've always had a soft spot for mute protagonists.

Frog doesn't have to speak Olde English. He adopted it as another defense mechanism for his identity, and it seems to have stuck. If you can't write it properly, don't.

~Woah, what? That's an interesting interpretation sure, and it makes sense, but heck if I remember them saying as such in the game.

Yeah, that Frog idea has been in a lot of fanfic, but it's all speculation. The real reason Frog speaks Shakespearean English is because Ted Woolsey is a wacky, wacky man. o_o His dialogue in the JP version was completely normal...

Was it? It's been a while since I played it, but he seemed to speak rather old-fashionedly. I recall he referred to himself as "wagahai", at any rate.

I don't remember that, but it's possible some of the nuances escaped me, I'm far from fluent or anything. To my eye, though, he pretty much speaks regular modern Japanese. Thinking of the North Cape scene right now (I can't remember the dialogue from the more Frog-centric scenes *cough*), and there weren't any out-of-the-ordinary lines from him in that one...

Is North Cape that flashback with Cyrus? ::blanking::
I love hearing about how accents and such translate back and forth from Japanese to English. The decision to give Frog an accent always seemed so random to me.

I do, too. I do honestly think it can be done well. I don't see what would be wrong with him being mute in a fanfic.

Weird.

Yeah, me neither. I think I read a fic once where him being mute played a big part in it, which I thought was very interesting.
I'm trying to recall moments where Crono talking was implied or important, but none seem to come to mind...darn it.

I do agree with the "if you can't do it right, don't" sentiment, though, simply because well, most people can't.

Hmm, is there a law about people who say "WAR is serious, you shouldn't take fanfics so seriously!" for jurisimprudence? There should be.

...Okay, I HAVE said "Fandom is a game, not a matter of life and death", but I never tag on "There are more SERIOUS topics to wank about discuss, fanfiction is just silly to debate over!"...that just feels wanky.

Hee, if there isn't, there should be. Though I did find the 'I take my CHILDREN seriously' just as wanky, for the self-righteousness involved.

I take my daughter very seriously; she's almost as big a smartass as I am, and sneaky about getting her little jibes in.

Daddy's girl indeed. Proud as hell about it, too. The boys had better watch out four years from now.
