113. There is something so strange about the Superior Fan competition that has been running throughout fandoms since the dawn of Star Trek. It makes me imagine Tyra Banks monotoning, “There are 13 fangirls left, but I only have 12 Orlando Bloom/Viggo Mortensen photoshops in my hands.”
And then the one fangirl is cut from the competition, and she collapses in a weepy mess because she skipped her high school graduation to be here and they had dyed her hair black and turned it into a choppy mess for her Zack cosplay. And Tyra would lecture her for her tears, because this is proof that she didn’t want this enough, she wasn’t committed enough for being America’s Next Top Fangirl. Also, her squeeing needs more work, and her latest Joker secret lacked shock value.
139. And many “Mary Sue” characters are also bashed for the faults that they do have (and they do have them! As well-rounded characters should!) So some people try to have it both ways.
