I've considered doing something like this before-- I have parody in my soul and a nihilistic sense of competitiveness that screams for me to have fun with stuff like this. The rest of it is me not wanting to read my textbook and general avoidance.
You know... that is just not fair... You -guilt tripped- me into extending Rebuilding past 3 chapters. Not only that... you also added to the pressure of me having to come up with chapter nine.
... You should really do the same for me for my original stories...
Okay, Rashaka, make a speech about how writing fic for a Nick show is a big waste of time and that I should put all my (limited) time and energy into original work instead.
I didn't guilt trip you. I reviewed. It's what I do. If you took it as a guilt trip... then hey, more fic for me! Other people had the same comments as I did, though.
Okay, Rashaka, make a speech about how writing fic for a Nick show is a big waste of time and that I should put all my (limited) time and energy into original work instead.
And what you mean you didn't guilt-trip? Yes, you DID.
(sighs) Fine... since Rashaka obviously will be part of the problem, not the solution... I'll go by another route... I'll burn myself out writing AtLB fanfics. Sooner or later, I will get sick of it all and then - I'll go back to writing original stuff.
Okay, okay, new journal rule: Please stop talking to me in the third person. Thank you.
Anyway, if I did guilt trip you, it was in the pursuit of fanfic! I would never tell someone to stop writing fanfic in order to write fiction. Fanfiction is my sandbox, not original fiction.
Besides, I save my speeches for scaring/shaming little stereotype-spouting fanpoodles into becoming feminists. It's a hobby.
If you're gonna do it - go for the gold. And do a fake name, so that way they won't avoid it for being an "obvious" Sue. People will look at your other work and go, "This is a joke fic" rather quickly.
If you feel like owning up later, that's when you pop up and laugh your ass off.
When you put it that way, I kind of like it. Plus, I can never really make myself spell as badly as I've seen other people do. I just can't forget about grammar enough to pull it off.

That's what I was thinking, especially with Avatar fandom, which is where I've played the last 6 months.
I say go for the most stupid storyline. I've seen people who spell and have decent grammar produce some of the most godforsaken Sue fics. Very few times, I've seen great writers produce them ... and I would cry, "Use your power for GOOD, not EVIL!". Honestly, I find the people with a more than average grasp on grammar and spelling writing Sue fic worse than the 12 year olds who simply do not know better.
Hmm... just want to add one thing... please don't use the 'it was only a dream' plot device for the ending.
That plot device is probably my most hatest of all. Makes me want to tear my hair out.
Then again... if you're after sheer annoyance... yah... that plot device will most likely get me incredibly peeved with the author, unless he or she is someone like Mark Twain.
Point. I've been hanging out in fandom too long - the line between Mary-Sue and perfect self-insertion is becoming blurred. I just remember the HP fics where one perfect mary-sue would turn up, usually with a cat-girl or something based off the author's RL best friend in tow.
I think I've blocked most of my memories of such fics out. Some things... are not meant to be shared with the internet.
Awww ... why not go for the worst possible fic style in the world?
You could write half of your LJ list into the story as your friends!
I know ... Naruto fic! Let's all be ninjas!! And, ooo, I want to beat the crap out of Sasuke! Puh-leeeeeeeze? And I'm totally the fourth Sand Sibling you never knew existed until I just now made her up.
you will probably hate me for what you're about to read.
If I made you the fourth Sand sibling, I'd make you the gender-confused fourth sand sibling. You were once a gay boy, until the special curse jutsu turned you into a girl, and now because you're a girl (who used to be a boy!) your gay feelings are now het feelings. And you're in love with Neji. And your blood is poison to all people who carry demons (which is why Gaara didn't squash you like a bug growing up, because you could poison him and release the demon.) And now the Akatsuki are after you to use your blood to capture Naruto-san and Gaara-nii-san. Meanwhile Sakura is helping you cope with being a girl, and you're slowly but surely making Neji realize his inner tree-hugger.
Also you're sarcastic as hell and you beat up Sasuke. Twice.
EDIT: and the gender-changing curse was paid for by the Uchiha clan so that your family's bloodline could be united with the Uchiha bloodline in a secret plot to let the Uchihas seize control of Konoha with Sand's backing, led by a powerful new family combining the best of both traits. Sasuke was meant to be your fiance. And though you hate him and are in love with Neji, you'd still try to kill Itachi if you met him because you're noble enough of spirit to want to kick Itachi's ass for what he did to lil Sasuke's family.

Did I ever upload my Z/K fst for you? I made big pretentious tracklist post and everything, equipped with lyrics and running commentary. ::FST/music whore::

SERIOUSLY.
There's only probably three fics I'll ever finish. And it could take years.

I have this feeling that a fic with this storyline is actually ... out there.

Awesome. I did that last week. For real.
