Heh, Suedom is awesome.

A thought...on Suvians by Kittythekatty on 2013-09-20 03:17:00 UTC Reply

Now the Badfic games have begun and it is pretty hilarious. Since some of us are going Suethor and writing Sues and badfic parodies, I had a thought/prompt for a fic.

What if a Sue gained self-awareness? By that, I mean the Sue did not want to be a Sue. Perhaps having a Suvian prophecy repeated to her many times made her tired. (Being one of the last Dragon Lords or Time Lords, being the Tenth Walker, spouse of Sherlock Holmes; mother of his children, etc...) or seeing that she broke up so many relationships and realized that she never had anyone's love- it was just her LU being under the effects of Aura of Smooth. she might have yearned for someone to genuinely love her. (and now it gets a bid Sue-ishly sappy)

It seems unlikely that something like this would happen; a Sue doesn't want to be a Sue. But if anyone is willing to write this, I will gladly read it.
I might write this now...

A Sue self loathing in a realistic way is tricky. The hard bit may well be writing the dawning realization nobody is going to pick them up, listen to wangst, and give them a cookie. Although the cookie may be optional.

I see this as an interesting take on how glitter works in Suvian flesh. Our hypothetical Sue is losing glitter concentration in the dermis. Pow! A plot device punches them, and they stare dumbfounded at the bruised normal tissue, and flawless shiny flesh. I now really want to read something like this.
YES. Write this. (nm) by Ailavyn Siniyash on 2013-09-22 00:51:00 UTC Reply
OH! I've had ideas for this before! by Legacy on 2013-09-21 20:57:00 UTC Reply

This idea sounds way better, so I'll just say that my idea for the ultimate de-Sueification of the Sue was by using the Molecular Separator from Phineas and Ferb.

Splits the Sue into non-Sue and... all-Sue, for lack of a better way to put it. I hope you find use for the idea!
Sounds good. by Tyr on 2013-09-20 09:41:00 UTC Reply

It sounds good. Write it and I'll happily read it!
Uh, I was going to use a similar storyline myself... by Sergio Turbo on 2013-09-20 09:25:00 UTC Reply

See Agent!Sergio Turbo? He's an ex-Stu. Not saying more because it would be spoilers, but... the weight he carries around? That's a good chunk of it.

I think that would be an issue for the majority of borderline/ex-sues/stus. It's why ficpsych has their sue-support group, after all the stus and sues go basicly from beloved and badass to having nothing and being hated and bullied by everyone just for who you are.

Camilla Sandman has a link on her website, www.misssandman.com to Suedom. It's a great story, and I am working my way through it.

It's a real shame Andy and Saphie never finished it - I really wanted to know how it ended.

That said, from what Saphie said last time she dropped in, they're planning on turning the concept into an original story/novel (I don't think she clarified) at some point. So who knows - in a decade or so, perhaps Kate, Kira, and the mysterious Bridge will take up residence on all our bookshelves...

It appears that the Sue develops self-awareness. In Suedom the characters were originally non-Suvian and merely happened to be stuck as Sues in Middle-earth.

I think it could work. You have given me thought for one of my agent characters actually. He all ready has internal conflict over feeling useless without his suevian powers to the fear of going full sue if he uses them too much on missions. Now he has to worry about if his LO ever loved him or loved his Aura. Kinda feel bad now

That sounds amazing. You HAVE to write it.
