Pointe shoe! Wow, I'm just gathering all SORTS of stuff to kill Sues with. When can I start? *wants to kill Sues. Badly*

Wow... my nickname's actually Mad Hattie, so... *offers truce*

Another hat! *puts spork-top hat on top of ypur fur hat*

They need to release FMA translated manga faster >.

Yay, cookies!


*nom nom*

Nope, not burned!

*puts on hat*

I wear any hat, whether it's paper, pimp, or a person.

But most people on the Board like Tolkien's work.

Just saying.

*nom'd*


Yay, no rabies! (I hope)

...because I can't think of anything better. *is sheepish*

Ah, well. Welcome! Good to meet you!

Because it suits your name so well. Do note the bunny ears and bloody dagger attatched to its brim. ;p

Great to meet you!

aah, yes, Lembas. Trail Mix from Tolkien's 'verse, and about as dry as his writing.

Future History's his most famous, though he'll admit in his own books to writing a number of them for the money.

... we could probably use another voice actor (which would require recording capabilities, yes) or an artist, or especially an animator!

The movie 'There Will Be Glitter' describes the happenings of the 2008 Mary Sue Invasion of PPC HQ (look it up on the wiki, it gives a summary of events) and the script is adapted from the roleplay of that event that took place on the Board last April.

It's a tasty baked treat, unless you've been warped by carrying an artefact of Ultimate Evil ... which I'm sure you haven't.

Welcome to the PPC Board!

Speaking as someone who also seeks to find the worst she can and kill it from a sense of Duty, welcome!

She's not actually all that bad. I mean, she is a Padawan, and all Jedi-related things are slightly Sueish, but Anakin was the one jumping from small flying thing to small flying thing. Ahsoka avoided any form of jumping that involved small targets.

Yeah, she DID take on three MagnaGuards and wound up victorious, though there was a lot of creativity involved in the process (hiding and surprise attacks to get one, etc.) She also managed to trigger every trap set up at one point.

Worst thing about her was the MagnaGuards issue, although looking back on it now they weren't as good as the ones seen later on in the third movie. I'm guessing that a) The models were improved throughout the war, or b) General Grievous was NOT letting Dooku take the best of HIS elite guard to go suck up to the Hutts. Anakin was more of a canon-Sue.

The droids rocked. They made the movie epic even while it failed miserably.

"Concentrate all your fire in sector 1s3j225lk12452!"
"Sector 1s3..j...?"
"Just fire there!"

Droids

… "So...a bunch of different people based off of random series get together and try to save to world...it's interesting to say the least. Leven Thumps, Percy Jackson, Keys to the Kingdom, and Dragons in our Midst are featured. Another RPG-turned-fanfic."

I hope you are familiar with the concept of a wiki, because if you aren't, this explanation will make less sense to you.

There exists a wiki called "TV Tropes", which is devoted to collecting and, to a degree, analyzing "tropes" (basically, commonly-used concepts and methods of execution, such as shoulder angels/devils and genre savvy); despite its name, it accepts examples from anything, up to and including real life and fanfic. Since there is no such thing as notability on TV Tropes, examples don't even have to be from something widely known.

One of the tropes is the"Crowning Moment of Awesome", in which a character does something considerably more awesome than the norm; Vimes' rampage at the end of the Discworld book Thud is listed, if I remember correctly.

Does that help? If you need more information, I can see about clarifying.

I officially heart you. You are on my list of awesome people. Invader Zim and Kingdom Hearts?

Have a pointe shoe. Nice and hard, good for smacking things with.

And welcome. I'm kinda new myself, but... well, you know. ^_^

We don't really have 'C-list' or 'cannon fodder' Agents in the PPC ... kinda goes against the whole idea, y'know, since we Don't Leave A Man Behind, and the latest thing with the Mary Sue Factories ... mass produced is for the enemy, dude. And since people only create a few Agents, usually, and get attached to them, I sincerely doubt anyone will volunteer their characters. I certainly won't be.

I can't vouch for the quality of your stories as they aren't my fandom, but if they were on the page then someone at least thought them worthy of sporkage. It's my experience that parodying badfic only ends with worse badfic; perhaps try and steer clear of it? I don't doubt that you tried very hard, but a Mary Sue, even one developed carefully, is a Mary Sue, and you can probably understand why it's hard to differentiate between one done as an 'anvil to the head blatant parody' and one written by someone with too much sugar in their bellies.

Just saying, is all.

I myself am familiar with only one, but there ought to be enough technical charges (plus too many fandoms crossed over).

Anakin's mysteriously disappearing apprentice, I mean. The writers seemed hopelessly in love with her.

I think I recall you too. *pokes cautiously* Box of biscuits? *offers said item*

Intriguing idea, by the way.
