I mean, disgust is a given, but he's not the type to recoil and shudder, nor the type to kick the Sue after she's dead.

I like how she SUDDENLY remembers that he wears a mask and that no-one has seen his face since the camps. And then doesn't bother to change it, which would be the sane option, but instead writes "oops, I mean mask".

I'm getting a mental picture of the mask suddenly blinking out of existence and then back in again.

In remembering that only TWO of my characters in the past seven/eight years have ever dipped as low as 19 years old. Seriously, with one exception (a group RP that required the ages be set at high school levels), that's as low as I've ever gone.

That counts my PPC characters so far, by the way, and totals to about ten or eleven different guys in total (but always guys. I'm a guy, it makes sense to write what I know).

I am sometimes worried by all those heavily sexualized Mary Sues (slim, big breasts, revealing clothes) who are self-inserts of 14-year-old Suethors with no first-hand romantic experience. For characters who are supposed to be perfect, Sues often lack a particular power: that of escaping the patriarchal mindset of our society. Sure, sexual emancipation of women is one of the things feminists have long fought for, and I fully support it. But some Sues are insults to the whole female gender, and it grieves me to know how young and influenceable the Suethors who created them usually are.

A romantic scene from a badfic. I didn't write it. by Maudlin Hart on 2009-03-31 13:00:00 UTC Reply

"I move my hands to his chest his arms above my head holding himself up.
He burys his face in my neck as I kiss hungryly at his face, opps mask.
He moves into a better postion.
His hands traveling my sides and arms warming me, I press myself up agenst him tightly, his hand at my thigh pulling me slightly up I close my eyes, this guy's really a Casanova if I've ever seen one, my chest moves up and he might not be able to kiss me with that mask on but the passion is what matters.
Oh yes the the passion only.
His heat, his fire, now I know he likes me."
Said Suvian was snogging V. Yes, V. From V for Vendetta. Did I mention she was snogging V?
I claim this atrocity.

The only way to bring it back in somehow in character would be to have him ditch her in an alley. And then go have a twenty minute conversation with a statue that represents virtue.

The mask being removed is Canon abomination, considering that in movie and graphic novel, the mask is concealing the man and therefore making it more of an idea. Which is why V shall never die, he is the epitome and or hope of anarchism/democracy.

Without getting too overzealous... if someone does take this as a mission, can one of my agents that I'm working at for Permission be a guest member?

If I had permission, I'd join you on that.

If I had Permission, I'd write a mission for it. (nm) by Maudlin Hart on 2009-04-01 00:29:00 UTC Reply
