I come bringing Avatar: The Last Airbender wank!
What do fanfics like How To Piss Blank Off, Oh Sister, and Kane the Avatar Helper have in common aside from Mary Sues?

They all have glaring reviews from a Pit user by the name of Zuko's Flamethrower.



Check one in each category-or all if need be. The more checks you have, the more problems you have...

Dear Sue/Stuthor, you have demonstrated by this...

-crappy story
-same old fantasy that no one cares about
-waste of bandwidth
-source of frustration for the REAL Avatar fans everywhere

fanfic that you are...

-an illiterate imbecile
-a crappy writer
-a disgusting pervert
-a sex-deprived jerk
-a multiple offender
-a disgrace to all fanfic writers
-a narcissist
-(hopefully) a troll
-stupid
-a waste of oxygen
-a virgin for a reason
-a bad writer
-the village idiot
-a whiny git
-being MSTed
-being mocked.
-ignorant of Avatarverse canon

and your fanfic has caused this flame because of its...

-blatant disregard of the English language (spelling, grammar, syntax...)
-disregard of the Avatarverse which the story is set
-disregard and lack of knowledge of canon
-use of jargon that doesn't suit the fic's setting
-lack of formatting
-lack of plot
-unamusing and/or disgusting "humour"
-clichés
-nauseating metaphors and comparisons
-ridiculous sex scenes
-insertion of yourself into the Avatarverse
-distortion of canon characters's personality (OOCness)
-character bashing
-masturbatory fantasies about Zuko, Sokka, or Aang (they would be ashamed of you)
-disturbing events
-use of serious issues (rape, torture, mental illness, death) as plot devices gratuitous depiction of violence
-So-called random shit that is supposed to be amusing but is in fact the opposite
-So-called original characters which are actually poorly-disguised self-inserts

All of this is so unbearable that...

-I wanted to gouge my eyes out with a rusty spork after I read your story
-I was left with the deep urge to vomit (preferably on you)
-my cries of horror and indignation were heard halfway across town
-the canon characters would probably kill themselves (or you) if they read this fic
-you should never be allowed near a keyboard again
-all fans of the Avatar fandom are screaming and writhing in pain
-DiMartino and Koneitzko will set their lawyers on you.

As penance, you must...

-take down this story at once, or expect more flames
-watch The Teletubbies and Super Milk Chan and Bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo continuously for a week
-apologise to your readers for your ignorance
-smash up your keyboard and insert the pieces into any chosen orifice of your anatomy
-Watch every episode of Avatar until you know them all by heart
-give up all your worldly possessions and become a monk/nun
-have your hands cut off so you may never besmirch the literary world with your garbage.
-throw away your vibrator and stop masturbating to impure thoughts of Zuko

In closing, I'd like to say...

-The spacebar is your friend, as is the Enter Key. Use both.
-Netspeak is a unacceptable form of writing. Netspeak is Netspeak and should not be used for anything else.
-Format your story properly. use the Enter key when neccessary. Don't smush your words together. And USE SPELL CHECK.
-don't post a fanfic before you've had it beta-read by someone who knows better than you
-keep your fantasies about Zuko or Sokka or Aang or any other AtLA character to yourself
-Aang's siblings (if he has any) are dead. Aang doesnt know his parents so he can't know your sue-sibling
-Good fic has plot, tension and good writing. Your fic has none
-you owe me a new computer screen because I vomited on it.
-don't ever reproduce. The last thing we need is more Suethors.
-take your crap somewhere else (wait, don't. No one deserves to be terrorized by this)
-Stop wanking to the screencap of Zuko shirtless in the Agni Kai.
-No one cares about your fantasy
-The genre of people getting sucked onto the Avatarverse is old shit. It should be avoided at all costs.
-There is only one Avatar. ONE. Only He/She may bend more than one element. Repeat after me. There is only ONE avatar.
-There are only four elements to bend. No more. No less. Fire, Earth, Air, and Water. NOT Shadow, Light, Love, or some Sparklypoo shit.
-Zuko does not belong with any form of original character. He belongs with Katara or Toph or even Aang. Anyone that is a canon character!
-Zuko is NOT a pussy who will slobber over any girl, nor is he a OMFG wangst kind of guy. Katara is not a PMS bitch, nor is she a nonexistent being that needs to be discarded when the Mary Sue makes her appearance. Iroh is much more than some tea-swilling old man. And Aang is NOT a ADHD kid who has had too much sugar. Don't assrape the characters for your twisted purposes.
-Fantasies are just that-fantasies. If you want to fantasize yourself in the Avatarverse-by all means, go ahead. It IS fun. However, keep it to yourself, and your notebook and/or sketchbook.
-If Zuko saw how you treated him in this story he would set you on fire. Seriously. His character has been raped and twisted so many times into OOCness that even Ozai and Azula would feel bad for him.
-The only people who review your story are your little sockpuppet Suethor friends. You are not taken seriously by anyone else. Keep your fantasies to your little cliques.
-Learn from this list. It is designed to help you. Yes, it is brutal but the truth hurts, sweetie.

And last but certainly not least...may Azula use you for target practice


Rinse, wash, and repeat on every Sue fanfic Zuko's Flamethrower comes across.

The wank starts on Zuko's Flamethrower's Mary Sue Parody fanfic The Greatest Avatar Story EVER, where a combination of wank, crying Sue Authors, fangirling, and Suethors attempting to be snarky with their own version of Zuko's Flamethrower's "review" brews.

Cue users like COME JOIN Zuko's Flamethrower HATE CLUB and AvatarBasket flipping their shit in their profiles. Sapphire Warg does the same thing, only she links Zuko's Flamethrower to a Green Day song that supposed to be a message to her.

It's not all wank, seeing that Zuko's Flamethrower got a tribute fanfic, which has very mild "But Zuko's Flamethrower is MEAN!" wank.

*eye twitches* Okay, so your story made my eyes explode, and the doctors had no choice but to remove them to save me some pain. Thanks a lot.

PS: Have you by any chance read my story? It's called "Attack of the Sues", and was published around the end of May. It's like yours, but it has a plot. It's not complete yet, though.

PPS: I puked on my keyboard and you owe me a new one.


Eh?

Favorite Things from "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"

February 13, 2006: I just loved the thing about the little hunting accident where Dick Cheney shot Mr. Whittington in the face. Especially how they kept repeating everything! Too funny!

February 14, 2006: Yikes! Whittington got a heart attack. On that one, the condition went from "Hilarious" to "Still Very Funny but Kind of Sad". (I think... I'm paraphrasing...) And the War on Saint Valentine's Day! HA! (Take that FOX!)


Am I a prick if I want her out of my "fandom" for being a moron?

Meh... it's just a mildly altered version of the auto-flame form. So, in essence, not even original.

Seriously, if you feel you're on a crusade to rip all suethors a new one, at least don't be so impersonal and boring about it.

I hope that Zuko's Flamethrower succeeds in its mission to eliminate each and every bad fanfic that has ever or will ever be written, because once she's done that, everyone will be happy and all the stupidity will be gone.

While the guy(?) is a dick, he does make some valid points. Too bad s/h/it couldn't have expressed them in an acutal, review or just post it in their journal.

Still: masturbatory fantasies about Zuko, Sokka, or Aang (they would be ashamed of you) made me chuckle a little bit. If only becuase I know that there's a fic out there where all three get it on with eachother becuase that's some author's masturbatory fantasy.

Me, I'll be over in femmslash corner of the fandom. Azula/Katara crack fic isn't going to write itself y'know.

Okay, so um, bad fanfic is, well, bad, demanding worship from everybody for writing it and freaking out at any criticism like many do is lame and quite mockable, and it's very entertaining to snicker at the violet orbs and badly written sex and whatnot.
But I obviously must be missing something, because I don't really get why it's a horrible crime to write bad fanfic, it needs to be wiped from existence, and the authors need to be punished for it. This seems to be the prevailing thought on the matter, though. I always thought people had a right to write bad fic if they wanted to. Or draw unimpressive fanart, or make halfassed costumes, or whatever the hell it is they enjoy, because you can exaggerate all you want about bleeding eyeballs, but it is not, in fact, harming anybody. And frequently it's funny. So, uh, can somebody explain?

Since my one Avatar fic is gen-humor with a tiiiiiny hint of cracky Sokka/Aang, I doubt I'll get a flame like this.

Sadly. It would've been kind of hilarious.

I... I don't know... I sort of... uhm, sympathize with the Flamethrower. I mean, you have no idea how many times I've wanted to fire off emails and leave reviews like that on the entire first page or more of stuff I find for my fandoms, because so much of the fic is appallingly bad. Sadly, I have enough self-control to only do that to the very worst of the worst.

To my shame, I just had to go review "The Greatest Avatar Story EVER". I had to. I just can't leave well enough alone. After reading such a thorough and spiteful flame left of the many stories, I was hoping for a good laugh.

I did not laugh. At all. I was massively bored. I feel...I dunno...robbed. That flame was false advertising! It was supposed to bring the funny, dammit.
