162 OP

(Anonymous) 2009-01-15 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely not! I try to make mine as realistic as possible without overdoing it. I still feel kinda silly though, because part of me wants to post them online but I just afgdhsfgjf don't want to be labeled a Suethor and have all my GOOD stuff ignored. v_v

[identity profile] ankeelv2.livejournal.com 2009-01-15 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you're better than me. XDD All my little OCs are wildly special and awesome and kickass and disgustingly Mary-Sueish.

But if you don't wanna risk being labeled-- maybe make a new account? And, heh, a new email address if you're really paranoid? That way, worse comes to worse, your regular name won't be tarnished. Of course, posting them online, semi-anonymous or not, might be terrifying, but.

OP again

(Anonymous) 2009-01-15 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Mine used to be...but then I got hung up in characterization and they started to develop actual flaws and stuff. XD

That's a pretty good idea! Trouble is, I'm pretty sure most of the communities for the fandoms I had in mind don't allow OCs anyway...but...aww heck, I think I'm definitely going to give that a try anyways! Maybe someone'll stumble across it, and I'd feel more weird NOT posting them because I put so much effort into the darn things. =D

Also, icon love. Both of them. XD

Re: OP again

(Anonymous) 2009-01-16 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Maa, maa, I'd love to read about well thought out OCs, but... Saa, I don't want to read all of the MS crap or be considered "One of Them" so IDK what to do. Everyone on my flist gets more than they EVER wanted to know about my OCs, LOL.

Re: OP again

(Anonymous) 2009-01-16 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
I actually joined an anti-Mary-Sue community for a while I hate them so much. But...the OCs are the best part of fandoms for me sometimes. I just can't stay awaaaaaaaay! D=

Re: OP again

(Anonymous) 2009-01-16 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, I was a big ANTI-MARYSUE, too, for a long time and then I realized that what I considered a MarySue was a lot more specific than the rest of fandom and a lot more accepting of OCs that just happened to join the main characters.

Yes, OP again :)

(Anonymous) 2009-01-16 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still a part of it, I just tend to be more careful with throwing around terms like 'Mary-Sue' nowadays. Still, it doesn't help that Sturgeon's Law (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SturgeonsLaw) is in effect for most of them. :(

That one anon

(Anonymous) 2009-01-16 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
orz, very true.


I don't even bother with the term. I just talk about shitty OCs. I only use Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu when talking about canon characters being horribly characterized.

Hey OP again~

(Anonymous) 2009-01-16 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I can't blame you. It's very subjective to begin with, and I've found most canonical main characters come out as Mary-Sues when you put them through litmus tests.

THAT anon

(Anonymous) 2009-01-16 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously. It gets pretty ridiculous. Our characters shouldn't have to be any more "perfect" (excuse the term) than the author's.

Unanon b/c of laziness

[identity profile] authoressarktos.livejournal.com 2009-01-16 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
There's also the problem that since they're the main characters, anyone approaching their level is instantly viewed as a threat by fans. :\

def.

[identity profile] thisistony.livejournal.com 2009-01-16 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
With DGM, at least, just look at Crowly/Miranda. They just became exorcists and they're already following Allen around. I don't see anything wrong having a newer exorcist join in on the ass kicking.

Or even a finder hanging around a bit too much. Lenalee is very "WE'RE ALL COMRADES" and Allen just likes everyone. (Lol and Miranda probably thinks that the finders are all 298345783947 times better than her anyway so she wouldn't have a problem, lol)

Re: def.

[identity profile] authoressarktos.livejournal.com 2009-01-16 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
True, true!

I considered that, too. Because...I mean, an OC fitting in isn't weird for the group, as you said. XD (I love Miranda~)

[identity profile] ankeelv2.livejournal.com 2009-01-16 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Pah. MAH SUPER-SPECIAL-SNOWFLAKE TOTALLY-NOT-MARY-SUES HAVE NO NEED FOR FLAWS!! EXCEPT FOR THEIR ANGSTY PASTS!! Yeaaaah. XD This is why Kathleen does not write OCs. Ever. Ever.

Really? I mean, I dunno about your fandoms, but there's no where you can quietly post a, you know, "Character A/OC" fic or whatever? I mean, usually fic places-- that I know of, anyway, but I'll admit my fandoms are unusual and oughtn't count for a general example-- don't mind it, unless there's an explicit rule against it.

BUT. GOOD. That you're going to give it a try! I hope it works out! I'm sure they're good, you sound like you've put a lot of effort into them. <3 But good luck, man.

Hahaha, thank you. <3

(Anonymous) 2009-01-16 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
XD It happens to the best of us! My first OCs were ten times worse than that, I assure you.

Well, it's not so much a rule as just...something you don't do. I could try fanfiction.net, but then people'll just dismiss it as another Mary-Sue. :( LJ might be better...so I'll give that a shot and see what happens. Puppet journal FTW, I guess.

I've proofread it at least five times now and researched like crazy, so...here's hoping. ^^

...OMG MOAR WIN ICONS. I'm seriously checking out your userpics now! XD

[identity profile] ankeelv2.livejournal.com 2009-01-16 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah . . . no, I wouldn't post it on ff.net; god knows there's enough rampant Mary Sues there that, frankly, I've just come to skipping OCs when I go on there. But yeah, a puppet journal'd be good.

Aw, I wish I could see some of your stuff now. XD I'm insanely curious about your OCs and stuff. Alas.

I think you'll do fine, though. I mean, you've proofread, which is already a good step. And research is a lovely bonus. I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOU. <3

XDD *showing them all off* I TAKE PRIDE IN MY ICONS, OKAY?

(Anonymous) 2009-01-16 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, me too. ff.net is infamous for that. Which is why I was worried, because the fanfiction communities on LJ I usually come across don't like OCs...and frankly, I can't blame them :\

One of the other repliers suggested I start up a community of my own. And...now I want to. Because I'd be willing to mod it and stuff. XD

This gives me confidence! =D

I have seriously never seen a set of icons made of more win in my life. Cross my heart and hope to die!...Puns intended. XD

[identity profile] ankeelv2.livejournal.com 2009-01-16 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah . . . I mean, it's tough, because a lot of OCs ARE Mary-Sues, which makes it incredibly hard when a genuine non-Mary-Sue OC comes along.

Ooh, that's a good idea. That's a very good idea.

:D <333

THE REVEAL!

[identity profile] authoressarktos.livejournal.com 2009-01-16 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. It's a difficult concept to write for precisely because of that, IMO.

Yeap. I'm considering it. Or at least a personal journal for my OC stories.

GASP!!

[identity profile] ankeelv2.livejournal.com 2009-01-16 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
*friends? cuz you're fun to talk to? if you want? :D?*

*quick glance at fandoms* Ouch. LOTR is rough for OCs. I dunno about FMA, but LOTR really stands out. But still. CREATE YOUR PERSONAL JOURNAL/VERY OWN COMMUNITY/PUPPET ACCOUNT/WHATEVER and post them.

Re: GASP!!

[identity profile] authoressarktos.livejournal.com 2009-01-16 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
*DO WANT! =D* *friends*

LotR is how I developed a loathing for Mary-Sues, yes. I was in the fandom during the days of the movies. D8

I SHALL!...As soon as I finish my homework. <3'
