And so, I breathe a sigh of relief as we arrive at this, our final YouJack. mylla directed me towards this one. Sometimes, I think she's trying to kill me.

Because they all review each other's stories. And they all like each other's stories, because they write the exact same plots as every other Suethor in the fandom. Therefore, every Sue story that Suethors comes across must be rigorously reviewed (even if the review only consists of "^_^") and defended, or else *their* Suefics could be next.

From the Suethor's profile:

I plan on going to college in 2005

Should I get worried? I don't know much of the school system in the US, but I guess she is kinda old...

And on a site note, I'm new!

god save me...I'm going to college in 2005.

On another note, she could be as young as 16 which may explain for her lack of wisdom.

Then again, probably not.

Someone (looks like a false account) posted a link here via review. Just thought I'd give you a heads-up.

I think everyone else has expressed my feelings on the fic quite accurately. All offensive and disgusting elements aside, have these Sue no clue about how to survive? It seems like the Mary-Yous just go limply along with the plot, even though in a real-life situation, such actions would get them killed.

Two announcements: First, my PPC story will be up tomorrow. Sorry for the delay--my beta was on vacation until yesterday. Second, you've given me another plot bunny, you evil, evil person. You mentioned that the version that the PotC Suvians watch the Sooper Speshul Seekrit Fangirl Edition. This led me to wondering: what exactly would that movie be like?

I'm going to write a script for it, if that's all right with you. Nothing fancy, just something that would allow us into the heads of the Suethors and explain some of the incomprehensible situations that the PotC canonicals find themselves in.

I have been searching high and low for that elusive tape. Stoopid Disney didn't put in the special feature, those bitches.

I know this had been said several times already, but what the fuck is up with these Suethors trivializing rape? You see it all the time, in fanfic, in roleplay, anywhere an idiot can talk about something they know nothing about.

One of my original RP characters was raped, and it took him a year to even relax enough to let his new lover do more than kiss him, even with counseling and support. And he still has nightmares about it sometimes. I didn't just "forget" his rape when it stopped being a good pity device and got boring to deal with.

I'm going to go hurt someone now. *brandishes spork*

Well, I'm pleasantly surprised, because I got a long, polite, respectful email back from the author.

Her justification for the rape: she wanted the Sue to get kidnapped by evil pirates and didn't see any reason besides sex why pirates would bother keeping a prisoner around. I suppose there is some realism to this...

Her justification for the quick recovery: she didn't want the Sue to spend the story wallowing in self-pity, so she just had her get better real quickly.

Her justification for the Jack rape-but-he's-cute: Jack doesn't actually sex Sue up, he just snogs her a bit.

I'm not saying these answers all satisfy me, but it was nice to get a mature response, nonetheless.
