This fic only has one chapter so far and yet it's already off to quite an asspicious beginning. And no, that wasn't a typo.

TITLE: Where You Wouldn't Dare To Look Sadly, I dare to look in the Pit of Voles every day, sweetie. Try again.
CULPRIT: Andciritien

But Will was not looking for love; Arianna was unwilling to give hers away so easily.
May I suggest a solution? Don't fall in love, asshats!

Our Mr Turner always has looked for love in the wrong places...

Mmm, I got that vibe from Will. Always looking, looking for his true love. He'd wander out onto the street and just check out the passing girls, in the hopes that one of them would be his love. He'd hang around bars at night. He'd certainly not, you know, fall in love with a childhood friend and proceed to love her without hope of his love being requited for the next 8 years. No.

Gah! Suethors!!

I have been driven to use multiple exclamation marks!

The most annoying thing about this Sue is that the author grossly mischaracterizes Elizabeth, just so that she can steal Elizabeth's actual personality and give it to the Sue and thus make Will attracted to her. It's just 52 different flavors of wrong.I suspect - and I can't remember if I've voiced this theory before or not - that the reason the Suethors hate Elizabeth is because she really leaves no room for Mary Sues. Anything they can do (all that beauty, guts, adventurous streak, willingness to follow her heart ( ... )

They do write about Elizabeth.

Oh, sorry, were you referring to writing about her in a positive, mature manner? Can't help you out there.

And, on a totally unrelated note, "Lizzeh" e-mailed one of the PPC boarders asking her to be a beta so that she can revamp her deleted fic. Vemi said she had too many other projects. I volunteered to take on the task.

I'm feeling really, realling masochistic today.

I hate you. That is NOT what I meant. :p

Well, the gen fics write about her properly. Hence why I generally read only gen when I'm looking for stuff I might enjoy. *sends evil glares in the direction of fanfic (yes, all fanfic. I'm in a goodfic drought and feeling bitter about it)*

And hey, Lizzeh wants to improve? This is a good thing! Of course, I can't imagine that anything other than "scrap the Sue and do something completely different" will help, but I'm sure you can be creative. :D

The gen fics? *inquisitive*

And, yeah, I don't know what will happen with Lizzeh. I suspect if I show her my litmus test, I'll frighten her away. Hmmm...how to take it easy on a Suethor...

Ah, heck, I'll improvise. *rubs hands together and cackles*

I don't know if you've read these before, but they're pretty nifty, in my humble opinion:

Fic about how Jack stole Ana's boat

Why Gibbs became a pirate...heh.

Cool fic, IC Jack so far; a female OC that probably won't be a romance (not under the Romance heading, and she doesn't show Sueishness)Reply

"She replied thoughtfully, her eyes sliding to the floor."

EUGH!!!
*watches eyeballs slide around on said floor* this reminds me of something... Minority Report, anyone? :-P
