I'm so tired of being here...

"Here" being high school.

Honestly? Way too effing lazy to do any kind of April Fool's thing. Whatever.  Don't care.

Will try to finish my short story for Imag today

Anyway, I have figured out (due to a report of a Suefic) just what bothers me about Mary Sue Fanfiction.  They generally muck with characterization, they sometimes add whole races and kingdoms... it's not that it does that to my canon that bothers me as much as the fact that it's really ORIGINAL FICTION. The only connection to "canon" is that it has, maybe, the same hot guys and a few of the same place names because someone's too lazy to develop it themselves.  If you're going to ignore canon like that, it's not fanfiction, it's just really bloody lazy original fic.  Now, on the one hand, this is doable in a 'verse like, say, Velgarth--where you can use the institutions and the kind of people (Heralds) and follow canon history and culture and do an original fic with OCs and have it be totally doable, because it's both at once, yes?  But...

If you're going to claim Elrond's a rapist or some ridiculous shit like that, or that Arda dragons aren't evil, just make your own bloody world.  Post it on Fictionpress. You can even use Arda as your main reference and be just as vague in your descriptions, and honestly, no one will ever notice it. And it'll spare all us people who want to see different takes on canon from your original fic.

Anyway. End rant.  I wanna be in Boston now, kthnxbye.
