03. Jew Crew Unite! *Thumbs up* Sometimes I feel the same way, even though I know it’s somewhat irrational. I live in a very multicultural city with friends from all backgrounds, but it’s hard not to feel paranoid sometimes. Especially when the campaign manager for the faction of the Conservative party campaigning in our area during our last election blamed the Jews for his party’s eventual defeat. But there’s also some very hateful things said on my campus from far-left student movements, so it seems cruelty manifests itself when someone is too radical in any direction.

06. I am so, so happy you got out. I’m wishing you the best, and I think it’s great that fandom can help people do more than just stretch their creativity (and procrastinate!)

14. I’m that way too. I love Princess Peach because she’s PRINCESS PEACH, and thus for years the only female character I could play as. And, ok, her floating ability made the levels much easier.

18. I used to be that way, but after reading enough well-written fics or manga, I was trained out of it.

27. This secret ruined the game for me! :0

41. Woah… I think that’s from a separate series, but I’m wowed by how much that looks like yaoi for Looking for Group. Why? I don’t even read that comic…

60. I’m sorta grossed out that he’s putting his bare butt on the furniture. I’m never going to get my first cat, am I?

69. I don’t think canon characters should be put through the Mary Sue litmus test, anyway. Different media = different rules.

Jew Crew Unite!

I have got to use this term in the near future.

I should have clarified. It was a test for original characters, not fan creations.

Where is that one? I've only seen the fan creations one, and it's hard to do that one with canon characters because so many questions are based on author intent (which we can't really know).

Re: 69 OP

[identity profile] vivalanaomi.livejournal.com 2008-04-03 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, ok! I did that one for the OCs of my favorite series, as well (I was trying to defend in the honor of a female character. Someone said she was a Mary Sue). She actually was declared to be a Mary Sue, but all the male characters in the series got a score twice as high (Funny that they're never accused). But it's in an excellent work, with balanced dynamics between all the players.

I really think that worrying about Mary Sues in canon fiction is an unproductive task, especially when it comes to the sci-fi or fantasy genre. There's a reason there's a story being told about these characters, and it's not being they're Joe Schmo from the Ice Cream Shoppe.

18 OP

(Anonymous) 2008-04-04 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Any recs please? lol just to clarify, I have read a ton of yaoi manga, like more than 50 GB worth, and can only find 2 that I like with a taller uke. So its not like I am not trying. ><;

Re: 18 OP

Not off the top of my head. You might want to try a fandom with more balanced power dynamics, like House's fandom, where many fics pair their characters off according to personality, rather than height.

Personally, I'm actually not that into smut, though I love fan fiction. So I'm not the one to go to for such things.
