7:48 AM - Mirror's Fanfic Definitions

FLAMER: Sad uncreative idiots with some or no writing experience (sometimes AUTHOR ENVY). Every writer faces these morons and are sometimes put out of writing altogether by what they say. There's a difference between helpful criticism and being just an ass with a huge chip on his/her shoulder. Most of their few comments are limited to YOU SUCK!/STOP WRITING!/WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO (character name)?!/THIS IS A MARY SUE, WHY ARE YOU WRITING THIS CRAP?!/YOU'RE A HORRIBLE WRITER!/I'M GOING TO TELL EVERYONE IN MY TWITTER TO FLAME THIS STORY! (some c*nt in LJ tried to do that to my fic 'Reflection' and I just got positive reviews. BWAHAHA! Thank you very much! You made me famous! XOXO)... Well let's just say they don't have much to say other than nonsense and sadly for them, they're usually outnumbered by numerous POSITIVE reviewers. I personally think they're just bitter basement geeks that like feeling big over the internet because in real life everyone treats them like crap. What other way can a loser get the feel of some power other than insulting someone that can't beat the sh*t out of them in person? And yes, I'm very cruel and direct; blame it on me being a gemini. PS- If anyone wants to throw a fit at me through a PM rest assured that I'll make fun of you in my profile because I think it's funny and need to stave off boredom. =P

HIDDEN HET YAOI: This is yaoi that sounds more like fluffy het. If you read such fics you'll be surprised to see male pregnancies and male lactating! (seeing a guy breastfeeding his newborn daughter while crying and receiving chocolates from his 'husband' is a real tear jerker. Not forgetting to mention that the doctors/midwives think its perfectly normal for a guy to give birth in spite of never menstruating, and having no uterus! Another plus!). I'd rather see a cannon-sue rather than that! Heck, even create a GaryStu! But making a manly character into a flatchested, muscular, woman with an appendage that doesn't get any attention is practically hidden het. I even forget it's yaoi! *shivers in corner thinking of horrors in some fiction* I hate seeing yaoi written like this! *wails* Where are my manly men?!

CANNON SUES: Same thing as K-syndrome. These fics center around the cannon character like an uncurable cancer. Even the way the character is described as : 'sexy curvy body, beautiful cobalt blue eyes and rosy sensual lips' when the character is actually quite plain looking is making her a Mary Sue. Then goes on the explanations about the clothes she's wearing, how gorgeous she is in EVERY CHAPTER, how every male finds her so sexy (did I mention that these characters aren't actually femme fatales?), the way their hairs is fixed, their MAKEUP style, how PERFECT every body part the cannon sue has is, how SWEET and LOVABLE she is... The list is endless! Just because she's has the name and SOME personality of the cannon doesn't make putting all of this okay. I read one story that had an entire chapter dedicated to writing how every strand of Kagome's hair was set around her head and even the specks in her gorgeous unbelieable, unusual, exotic, sexy, innocent, mystical, otherwordly, phenomenal endless robin egg blue eyes (then there's the fact that her breasts are always double-D cups and her derriere is the awesomest thing since sliced bread.) Things turn worse when the author says how much she loves the cannon sue because 'she's just like me!' Don't get me wrong... Some fics that start as cannon-sues even out and turn into works of art worth reading (I always strive to give things a chance) Making a character unbelievably beautiful is okay, but in real life, normal folks resent that so putting people that actually hate these 'qualities' in a character makes it more tolerable. (I'm not being conceited, but I modelled/acted as a teenager and ALL the girls in my school made my life a living hell because of it while the guys were too intimidated to even ask me out. Being 'perfect in looks' is not precisely a gift, so making it into something wonderful is unrealistic. Hopefully people writing this stuff could understand that. And also understand that being 'beautiful' takes work! It's NOT easy and not exactly a good thing that makes all your dreams come true!)

 

POOPERS: Yes. You heard right. These are the reviewers, that in spite of being told that something won't be known until much later in the story, start asking stupid questions in order for you to spoil your entire story in a author's note (sometimes they guess right and say the answer in a review). If you are a reviewer that SPOILS fics for other readers, please cut it out. I'm a person that reads other people's reviews (I'm nosy), and in some occasions I'm totally put out by reviews that tell me IMPORTANT STUFF that I could have discovered on my own=that's why whenever I review I try not giving spoilers regarding the chapter. It's actually very easy to AVOID doing it. I've had these kind of reviewers before that start nagging me with every chapter about something that is SUPPOSED to be a mystery. No matter how much I tell them that if I say what it is there wouldn't be any use in writing a story about it, THEY CONTINUE asking stuff like "Who is it?" or "Who did it?" or "IT'S WHATHISFACE, EVERYBODY! YAY! I FOUND OUT BEFORE THE AUTHOR TOLD YOU! I'M SO SMAAAAART!" Stuff like this make me just want to delete the review and stop updating altogether.

HAREMS (or should I say: Effective way to make me hate a cannon character?): Did I even spell that right? Anyways. I hate those kind of fics and with good reason. Most of them don't have an actual plot other than making a very unsexy character OCC and into a MarySue/GaryStu that everyone gets turned on by. Very few fics like this have interested me, but only because they were actually believable without lame excuses like magic or drugs. If they are blown out of proportion, making the character randomly sleep with every character (usually extremely attractive ones) you are effectively making a cannon-sue. (coming from me, a person that has created Mary Sues, it's harsh and I think cannon-sues are WORST than just regular sues). Typically in these kind of fics, the usually female character is LOVED by all the males (including some females and gay males) and found increadibly irresistable even though the manga/anime hasn't given them any sensual/sexy qualities (first signs of a sue). No one can't help but want to have sex with what they consider the most important and sexiest person in the world and most of the time, guess what?! They don't EVEN get jealous and all (up to ten or twenty wonderful guys treat this girl like a queen without her earning it) share her without rubbing each other the wrong way. Just every fangirls' dream come true! *gushes* If anyone has any actually GOOD harem fics, please suggest them to me and I just might read it (as long as it doesn't have the nonsense I just mentioned. I have a thing for dark-harems. I AVOID most fluff.).

What is a " SMUTRAMA "= Def; smut with drama (aka) plenty of smut w/plot. When a fic's plot uses sexual content to describe emotions and even events pertaining to a plot. With smutrama, not ALL smut should be considered random since they're uniquely written to connect with a story and its characters. People who are against high sexuality should NOT read smutramas because that's what they'll get plenty of in such fics, even though all lemon content is meant to be there making a small or large point (rather than merely giving nosebleeds or just 'there') I only write 'smutramas' because that's my style and most of the fics I do happen to enjoy fall into this shockingly versatile genre (look at my favorites list and you'll see plenty of fics that make lemons/sensual fluff 'work harmoniously' alongside their plots). Another thing, a 'smutrama' isn't the same things as 'plain smut'. Plain smut usually has no point or emotion behind it, 'smutrama' just connects with all in a story. (and I don't want to receive PMs going off about my fic content because I can write yaoi/yuri/het without batting an eyelash. I am bisexual PEOPLE and sometimes hearing people trying to force you to think like them makes me want to beat them up. Sometimes we cannot help being the way we are, and if we respect your preferences, respect ours and leave all 'life-style hating' comments to yourselves. There's already too much hate going around to have some fundamentalist pr*ck making our lives even harder.

I'll write more definitions whenever I think up more.
