A harrowing brush with Suedom, narrowly avoided.
Or 'The pitfalls of writing a story based on the "give him a girlfriend" idea.'
Why am I writing about it then, one might ask? Because I have been delving deeply into the intricacies of Mary Sue of late and only recently realized that only half a year or so ago, I almost wrote a Mary Sue. Now, I am no stranger to Mary Sues. I've had them before, ( Read more... ) -
Tonic for a Mary Sue
Hrmmm. Where to begin? For the hell of it, I decided to write my own little essay on how to redeem a Mary Sue, based on the worst problems that Mary Sues create. Much of this was probably stolen indirectly from Limyaael but I felt like doing this anyway. I wanted to come up with a list of things to go over that didn't just indicate potential Sue-status but ( Read more... ) -

I'm gonna be gone until Monday. Going to Kentucky. :D -
Fanfiction: More ramblings
Why the hell do people take really cutesy fandoms and write about dark and brooding stuff? Some of them I can sort of understand, where there is some underlying stuff in the original theme that could be made more violent or frightening. And these are usually the fandoms that get that kind of treatment. But I get tired of seeing the "OCs with a ( Read more... ) -
Strange Thoughts
It's funny. I've been reading a lot of Limyaael's Fantasy Rants over the past few months. She has a ton of great stuff. Anyhow, I have since been developing a handful of little stories into one larger whole that could be a novel or novella. I'm trying to write it but still can't decide what scene to start the actual story with so I keep writing ( Read more... ) -
Gender-Switching Fanfiction and Fanart
Okay, look. I have nothing against the idea of taking a character from a fandom and switching around their gender for your own amusement. I'm not talking about cross-dressing or a character who's gender is hard to determine to begin with, I mean an actual sex-change in some character that has been established as being male or female. But whether it ( Read more... ) -
Constable Cooper and the Felonious Fox
Hey, I promised something... this is the ONLY fanfic I've ever completed. I confess, it needs a beta-reader but I doubt I'll find anyone to do that for me. So here it is, in all it's unbridled self-editedness. The plot was inspired by some of the other Sly Cooper fanfics I've seen out there. One or two dealt with the notion of flipping character ( Read more... ) -
I hate my own emotions
I am the kind of person who typically represses her own emotions. I simply try to avoid people online if they start to bother me or just whatever else you can imagine happening when it comes to interacting with people. I kind of dropped off the overall face of the internet for about a year or more. I mean, I sometimes left a message on a board or a ( Read more... ) -
Fanfic Rape
Dude. I just wanted to say (although no one who would actually be affected by this will ever read my journal) that while EVERY RAPIST IS A VILLAIN... not every villain is a rapist. I'm just so tired of seeing popular, and unpopular villains alike, raping heroes, heroines, and author-created characters in just about every fandom. I once wrote that ( Read more... ) -
Sonic the Hedgehog...
I know almost no one actually reads my journal (such is the case with many of them, I'm sure) but hey, I have it for some odd reason so I might as well use it for something. If anyone wants to join an StH RPG MUCK... lemmie know. :)
