We'd decided to let the secondary board remain secondary, or used just for RP threads and other things expected to get huge. But I think that discussion was a couple of weeks ago. Things might have changed since then.

It's almost done... I nearly got finished before school started, but then it did. So it could be another couple of months or more before it's ready for beta-reading, at which point I'll have to ask for volunteers again, because I can't remember who all said they would do it. >.>
This is why I don't expect to make a career out of writing.

So, which Board are we using? by

It's getting difficult to follow the threads on both Boards at the same time, so can we choose a Board and stick to it for now, and use the other as a backup in case of emergency?
Whoa, didn't mean to sound catty there. Sorry. DX

I'm not sure if you got my email or not, but we'd rather like to have a few more than three questions answered for that application form, just so we get a clearer picture of your little Suethor.

Just letting you know. This is probably the first of a few such posts you'll be seeing periodically. I'm back at college, you see, and so I'll be more lurker than active and may disappear for weeks at a time. If you need to get my attention, the best way is probably to e-mail me at exswyzie14 (AT) yahoo (DOT) com with the obvious replacements. I'm also on AIM sometimes, but you won't see me unless I add you to my buddy list first, so if you want that to happen the best way is also to e-mail me about it.
This is my last year of school if all goes well. It's kinda weird.

I've enrolled. by

Actually, I've enrolled my inner Mary Sue. Oh come on, everyone has to have a little part of them who wants to go be a perfect little princess in a different world and get the hottest male in the area! It's just that some inner MSs are more profound than others, and that's part of what makes Suethors so...odd.
For a PPC-er, it's just lurking there in the back, heavily stifled by the inner Canon Lover.

...for the simple reason that death would be much slower, and of the Sue's own making.
See, one of the things I REALLY hate about this TV show is:
a) it makes Pride and Prejudice sound like escapist literature, which it is NOT.
b) it legitimizes escapism without consequences, that is, the Mary Sue sees nothing wrong with escaping into Pride and Prejudice instead of dealing with the consequences of everyday life. That, my friend, is called turning yourself into a victim of circumstance.
One of my favorite passages ever comes from the Neverending Story. It has this to say about Fantastica (the world of human fantasy):
'There are people who can never go to Fantastica,' said Mr. Coriander, 'and others who can, but who stay there forever. And there are just a few who go to Fantastica and come back. Like yuou. And they make both worlds well again.'
That is what fantasy should be. That is what going into another world should be. The character should have enough imagination to go there, enough pragmatism to go back, and enough strength to knit her desires into the fabric of her real life, and make both her dream and day-to-day worlds whole and healthy.
...they never do that, though, do they?

I'm willing to sign my Agents up for the group mission. That is, if you need help. Which you probably won't.
Let's not forget the Mirror of Galadriel. Convince the Lady of Light to will only P&P images to appear before Mary Sue's eyes, and then we shall see what happens if you do touch the water. Hopefully it is not something good. Otherwise, we can try and drown her in the Mirror. *evil grin*

...But I can point you in the direction of what is possibly the best parody of bad fanfic ever written. It's listed under Kingdom Hearts, though what happens in it can apply to most fandoms.
The writing is excellent, the jokes are hilarious, and the three characters who are supposed to be IC remain so throughout the fiction. ...You'd have to read it to understand what that means, but pretty much these three face the horrors of what fandom does to their acquaintances.
