Ahem... hi. I'm Aster Corbett and I have been watching this board and PPC activities for a short while. I highly doubt anyone here knows me, but I guess that's ok. LONG WINDED INTRODUCTION, GO.
I've been writing fanfiction for a pretty long time. Since I was maybe 12 or so and YES I went through the Mary Sue phase. And a hell of a lot of self-inserts, which I sometimes still do for the lulz but rarely publish. I get a sick raise out of torturing myself by writing a not-at-all-fun romp through fandom and making the point that any self-insert would be screwed any way fandom was sliced. But I try and put the past behind me when I write, nowadays.
I came out the other side of the Sue Phase after longer than I would have liked. I had a somewhat rough time of it because I was unfortunately raised by sneaky parents determined to raise a Cool Offspring and didn't tell their kid that being able to ride a horse and hit things with a lance was not in the normal 15 year old girl skillset. Which looks pretty silly to the older, wiser (?) me of the present.
So Mary Sues, when I learned to tell them from non-Sues, bother me greatly and I've had to deal with them for at least a few years. I even made some independant hits and went on crusade against a few myself, writing satire and pulling other such shenanigans. I guess this makes me a goofy vigilante-type character who goes about buisness all wrong like a dingus.
I met Keily Shinra a little while ago, maybe a year or so, and I didn't know she was into the PPC. Then one day she mentioned it in a post she made elsewhere. I became curious, found the wiki, and with my sponge-like capability for Wiki Walk info sucking absorbed the general concept.
THERE WAS A WHOLE ORGANIZATION ABOUT ANTI-BADFIC. HOLY HAM ON RYE.
And so here I am, making an uncomfortably long and telling intro post that most are likely to TL;DR. I like video games, books, selected movies, so I suppose my fandom range is pretty broad. I won't list the fullness of my fandoms-- that would make this post EVEN LONGER. Which is way too long.
Sometime I probably will write a long, epic spin-off or something, likely in collaboration with Agent Shinra. Because that is just how I roll.
Have I mentioned I like Ganondorf? Mm, yes. Let me extend this awfully long post by mentioning that I like writing fanfiction about gerudo sorcerer-warlords and implimenting a bucking of the woeful lack of characterization Nintendo gives to its baddies.
Mm, Gerudo beefcake. >___>
