All I’m getting is a link to the main page

The link got lost between my composing the essay and posting it, because of course it did. Thanks.

And yeah, I know there's a lot of people who are still using the term Mary Sue in a critical way. It's just recently that I've seen feminists trying to reclaim it, in the belief that misogynists are trying to use it to disparage female characters on general principle.

It's all part of the general call-out/cancel culture atmosphere I've been seeing increasingly lately, mostly among people who are doing their honest best to ferret out their own prejudice and refuse to act on what society has taught them. But it has the side effect that anytime somebody labels something prejudice, nobody else can disagree without being told that they're disagreeing because they're prejudiced themselves. It has a nasty sort of thought-stopping effect that really bothers me, and it diverts people from fighting real prejudice to fighting one another.

(Naturally it's important to point it out when you see somebody acting on prejudice; or how else will they know? But the practice of using this to win arguments and dominate others is highly problematic.)

I've encountered this multiple times lately, from people talking about Mary Sues as role models, or as strong female characters, implying that good writing is irrelevant compared to "empowering women". If you try to tell them that you think "Mary Sue" is a perfectly good way of describing a badly-written character, they assume that because you are using a female name for the phenomenon, you must be more critical of female characters than male ones and generally believe that powerful female characters are wrong and bad.

Can I get an admin to look at this image?

It was an interesting perspective. I’m not sure the “feminist reclaiming” is nearly as widespread as you make it out to be. And your link to the PPC wiki is broken.

Hey, nice to see you, Calista! I’m Linstar, rather new. Let’s be friends!

((My brain. Ow.))

Nikki sucks! Im gonna kill her of! Screw YU!!

((I, in actuality, have nothing against Nikki whatsoever.))

Me, I have a thing against angelic-child characters... why? Because my first Mary Sue was one of them. There's a reason most authors here have sporked their own hilariously bad first efforts.

I recently wrote this blog post; I'd like your thoughts.

https://reportsfromaresidentalien.wordpress.com/2022/09/07/mary-sue-feminist-icon-or-literary-criticism/

u said im flaming than im showing yuo how i rilly flame like!

your writing a gross self-insert stiling sergio from nikki! thier is tru loe u must not interfere! nikki cant be vil she dosn't even want to kill baddies (whic shuld totally die their evil)! why is draco there in a stupid, unsensical crossover?

an sergio would never go to a mcr concert he likes iron maiden and nightwish! they rock an mcr suck! this sotry also sucks and you suck too!

[Again, our WoC fangirl still got things somewhat wrong (but still more right than the Ebony impersonator) As mentioned in Chapter 2 of Blank Sprite, while Sergio does like istening to metal while driving, and mentions songs from the groups lightning4evah mentioned, that actually took Nikki by suprised as he prefers Italian singers (mostly Ligabue and Max Pezzali, for the record) or songs from anime series for more relazed listening in his free time.

BTW, if Linstar doesn't mind I'm kinda half-planning to make a small interlude starring my classic trio in which Corolla mentions havign indeed received a report from lightning4evah about this fic, and have Sergio and Nikki react ot it. They'll be very, very horrified by it.]

if you dont like all of wigns of canon charas then your not a wigns of canon fan! whch means your not allowed to write fics abut them! Ur gonna get reported if you kill nikki im gettgn you banned!

sergioxnikki forevar and evar!

[And that's it. The confused fangirl is now an angry fangirl XD Fun fact, back when Mai Dire Fine, the actual fanfiction both Sergio and Nikki originated in, was being written, one of my co-authors did proclaim herself as "SergioXNikki". Well, technically "SergioXSakura", since she hadn't split off from th canon character yet, and Luna definitely had a much better grasp of spelling than lightning4evah...]

A/N: I saw a challenge to write the weirdest PPC ‘ship you could think of. Here’s mine! Enjoy!

—lolkittyking33

“Oh honey I luv you’ said the ironic overpower. He was wearing a black shirt that said “PPC—predators of the plotconuaum on it.

“I love you to said the lady contravene.

They were in the troll decision of h.q. because sapphire is the best. “Lets kiss said ionic overpower. (Only he’s called Iro now, it’s his nickname)

Good idea!111” did the lady conriavance(she’s called Connie now). So they kiss.

Soddenly!!!

Lady conrivance had a baby!!11

OMLB lets name her lady luck she saud”after her aunt

“Great idée! Iro exclaimed.

THEN!!!!

They saw sum ppp. Agents!

“What r u doing!” yelled Admiral Pansy.

“whay d u fink

Then….

The So appearated!!!11

(What will happen next?!)

—lol

((Yeah, but the only reason she’s from 2004 is because those Games were the only ones that actually materialized in HQ—from what I understand, the Flowers put up the Creativity Shields before 2006. Otherwise, I’d just say she came from those Games and dispense with the Plothole stuff.))

((And no, there is no easy “publish” option. Curse stupid Google Docs for not working in my browser!))

((—Ls))

Let’s just say that he’s very confused. ;)

Do post them in the correct year, though. 2022’ll do.

—Ls, trying to understand “ner ner ner”))

I invented them to take the blame for a slash story I wanted to write seriously but which is not and will never be canon. Their stories are meant to be representative of the diamonds to be found in the rough on any fanfiction site.

In their reviews, they might mean well and have a crappy holier-than-thou way of showing it, or they might be a white-hat troll, or they might flip back and forth as the mood strikes them. Either way, they're a smug, condescending a-hole (who is very fun to play). ^_~

I confess I forgot the deal with Mina's backstory, but her time stuck in a plothole could be adjusted to compensate for a couple years' difference, couldn't it?

Either way, the issue with OneDrive is that it wants me to log in to a Microsoft account in order to view the "sensitive info," and a) I don't know if everyone can do that, and b) even if you can, it's an uncomfortable hoop to jump through if your Microsoft account uses your real information. Is there a way to make something on OneDrive public and anonymous like you can with a GDoc?

((The official backstory is that Fanfiction.net had a PPC section for about a month in April 2004. It was shut down, and two years later Fanfic Land opened its doors. Liechtenstein first attacked in 2010.))

((My own stories are backdated because I'm the archivist and ner ner ner. Other stories can be 'reposted' in later years. ~hS))

((He’s totally the one pretending to be Eboby))

I wrote the first story before FfL was FfL. Liechtenstein attacked and Stangest Love got deleted. I never said the second story was PpC at all, its from the Glooming (witch u should totlly reed lol)

Your the lier! JayBird can back me up!

—lol

((Actually, I kinda need lolkittyking33 to have been around in 2004 in the Badfic Games Authorverse, for Mina’s backstory to make any sense. Perhaps JayBird can verify his story?

And yeah, they are OneDrive because in actuality, lol didn’t exist in 2004. hS, when archiving, please add “Stangest Love” but not “glooming the rise of edward”.

Why do I suspect that Lemony is just Jerk!Nesh?

—Ls))

Whats happening here is you writing a gross self-insert in a stupid, nonsensical crossover!

You are a terrible human being!

—lol

how is cunfusion flaming? i'm more confuzed now.

only thing I said wasnt ok was sergio not beign with nikki in ur story (because u are ebony rigyt?). i did not decvide their tgether thats how it is.

nikki dosnt suck she is cool! i wish i was her lol so strong an shes with sergio!

[And yes, I guess lightning4evah is a fangirl of Blank Sprite/TWWA. The "OMG they're so cute together" kind who shipped Sergio and Nikki together, though.]

Righto, I'm back. I wasn't originally going to participate in this, but it turns out Louie (my younger sib for those not in the know) liked the piece we wrote for last year enough that he wanted me to make another one this year. I don't get much time for writing these days, but hey. Twenty dollars is twenty dollars.

I'll try to get a piece up. Eventually. Maybe. Again, time constraints and all. I'll try not to disappoint.

-Lou

((A little late, but I guess I'm here. In a funny little parallel between my badfic persona's older sibling and my actual self, I haven't got much time to write recently. I do have something buried in my pile of work-in-process Google Docs, so I might try pulling one of those back up if all else fails.))

If you check the records, I believe you'll find FanficLand didn't exist until 2006. Those 2004 entries are backdated.

Also, by the way, the links to your "old" stories don't even go to FanficLand (or 'World, or 'Verse). They go to OneDrive. You're really not fooling anyone.

(( For the record, Lemony is a jerk—but those links really don't work. ^_^;

The concept here is a man falling in love with a woman from a different culture and overcoming the prejudice with which he was raised so he can be with her. If that offends you, then I'm very pleased to have done so. Cheers! :D

Either that or you really need to learn not to comment on things you don't understand.
