For clarification: by 'fellows in Building Maintenance,' I meant my own fellows. Characters. Of my own.
I don't trust myself to not bugger up other people's characters, y'know?

Well, there's the bare minimum heads-up, I suppose. Probably could've gone better. Probably could've gone worse.

I would've appreciated at the bare minimum a heads up or something, considering the size of BM and the fact I do in fact do things with the characters I own in BM.

Chose them for that reason. Background, not in limelight, that sort've stuff. Considered DoSAT, but they've far, far more stories and characters in.

Was I, er, supposed to consult with you, or anything like that?

At least, I hope so.

The character I have in mind was definitely not the Worst Sue (TM) I've encountered by a long shot but I was forced to share the most intimate, enduring experience with her. And her sister.

Her profile reads as follows:
Race: Human (half Rhodinian- Aritownian)
Skill set: Reasonable when it comes to cooking.
Can sew well
Character Description: 18 years old. Patient and mother-like. Cares dearly for her younger sister, Lilac. Her Aritownian Mom and her Juctimian Father ran away after giving birth to Lilac for an unknown reason. Lyra had to find herself a job at Thornspike Hall to feed herself and her sister. However she is very depressed and has low self esteem due to the racism she faced during her time at Thornspike Hall. As well, all the other maids and servants seem to be comparing her appearance to Lilac - although Lyra is actually better looking than all those servants and maids. She finds this world unfair and is secretly determined to seek revenge on her parents and the society - practically everyone.

Which sounds reasonable enough. But this description doesn't even begin to describe what she was actually written like.

I had to work with this for years in a writing collab. I'm still working with this. I joined the project late, so it took me a while to catch up on things, and since the character had been accepted I just assumed she was less Sue-y than I was thinking, or that Character Development happened. I only learned recently that the lead writer just never had the heart to tell her.

I've read a lot of badfic, and it all sort of blends together after a while. But I'm pretty sure it was on FiMFiction.

But I'm gonna second the statement that the worst Sues are the ones we've created ourselves. I know I still feel ashamed of mine.

Good to hear you're feeling better now. :)

I would like to make it known that the Discord has a room dedicated to RP-ing as your agents, regardless of permission, taking place in Rudi's. As I am typing this, my own Matthew, Des' Merrem, and Ix's Charlotte and Ix are discussing DnD.

"Look at the author’s note," Charlotte said, nodding. "Thoughts are only shown with a single parenthesis. At least they’re consistent!"
Aren’t that actions?

Also, there may be a very tiny continuity problem:

1. Charlotte giggled and bounced in place when she saw the mini, then grabbed her remote and portaled it away.
   
2. Ix grabbed the mini and tossed it through a portal. "How many d’you reckon we’ll get?"
   
3. Charlotte grabbed the mini in her teeth the instant she and Ix appeared in the next scene. Ix glanced up at her horn, and then frowned at Charlotte’s saddlebags, concentrating. A dark green glow surrounded her horn and the saddlebags opened, the remote activator floating out. Ix grinned and opened a portal, and Charlotte tossed the mini through.

This took me out of the story, because in hindsight I wondered who had opened the portal for the second mini. Charlotte?

While I have not been paying attention to the board as of late (still busy, incidentally), you're using BM?

Er, not to be rude or anything, but this is the first I've known of anyone else planning on doing things with them? I'm trying to not come off as possessive but I did kinda come up with BM in the first place.

-July, who has apparently missed way too much.

Sorry for not commenting on that. It feels so incomplete that I don't know where to start, and I can't take responsibility for linking this as a completed mission on the Wiki. I recommend to rewrite, paying much more attention to what the readers need to know so that they can understand what's going on (starting with why Kelly needs a new Partner and what happened to September, and maybe you should have told Djinn's backstory before you send it on a mission).

Also sorry for being so late. I'm still spending lots of time on wrestling with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Places a Minecraft Trading Card: Town: Sunspire at your feet. It has a stretched out castle as it's picture.

I went over the limit. I should have axed the material that caused it to go over. I didn't. Now everything get super weird when I view my message.

Assuming we're allowed to post unpublished Sues.

Early in around 2011-2012, I stumbled upon this website. If you don't want to click it, basically it's a bunch of comics that are set in a school AU of Plants vs. Zombies with different character personalities. (Due to the "species" argument, where each plant in the game is in fact only representative of tens, hundreds, perhaps thousands of a species like them, it's not a replacement.)

Of course, MS Paint and having a bunch of those kinds of kids at the wheel don't get you very far at all.

Unfortunately for me, I did not know what cringe was and I also happened to conveniently be a part of the demographic I just mentioned. So I treated it like it was some big media production, cooking up some incredibly wicked fantasies, including an implausible crossover between an AU already going straight to hell and mechs from mecha anime. ...Yeah.

If I didn't renounce my status as a fan of the genre for years I would've become a stereotypical weeb, I'm sure of it.

I'm not even ready to type the fullest of my memories up a second time, so I'll just copy-paste a few bits from the first time I did.

- "I would seriously imagine each character as holding on to a weapon, item, etc. up to and (mostly!) including downscaled fully functional mechs (which I imagined as suits/transformations) from mecha anime and games.
I would then proceed to beef up the original mechs as much as possible." Surprisingly enough, this actually makes the most sense for how it came to be since this is pretty much what most badfic written by a child is.

- "The Mary Sue approach to death. Die, friends mope a bit ton, five days later they're back and everyone acts like it'd been five years, not five days." I treated the "depressing" points of the AU like the ultimate edgelord. Don't get me wrong, I still do that sometimes, but at least I have some better judgement in playing it out.

- In short, I also wound up creating replacements of the entire cast. Eventually, the multiverse kitchen sink bug hit, with Minecraft taking the lead by a huge margin. I had basically developed at least five different versions of myself, with no variety. (I'm trying to write two agents right now that are supposed to be this but with actual variety. One's the snobby, hot-blooded-but-weak-minded kid and the other's the more judgmental, realist individual. I sort of have to balance these two major personality factors as one whole every day.)

And there you have it. Of all the Mary Sues in the world, nothing can really top what children wind up making. It's just that none of their "brainchildren" (including mine) have surfaced on the internet until now...

I do have tons of free time, and I'm on Discord anyway so I don't mind watching over people.

Hello everybody! It's been more than a week since the last thread and it fell off the main page, so I'd like to bring the following to everyone's attention:
1) Effective right now, I will make the PGs who frequent the Discord channel mods until the community chooses other people.
2) Please nominate people that you think should be mods. Right now only Cat-on-the-Keyboard nominated herself.
3) The mods' powers should be decided on; specifically, whether they should have the technical ability to ban people, but also any other thing that relates to that.
4) Unrelated to the rest, but I'd like to regularly prune inactive users every week; what it does is that it kicks every users that wasn't active for a certain period of time. The question is, should it be a week, or a month? In either case the people kicked by this process can rejoin the channel by following the invite link.

This will not affect the amount of government-sanctioned sick leave you have accrued over your years of service in the Outer Party. If a personality transplant is required, any and all credits assigned to your previous personality will be transferred, and all previous thoughtcrime-related demerits and file tags will be removed! We believe in a fresh start here at the Department of Alteration, almost as much as we believe in the Party.

So will you.
