9:43 PM - SUGGESTED ANIME: Hell Girl (or) Jigoku Shoujo. (FANFICTION REQUEST)

Yet another anime suggested by a buddy that has been dying for me to do a Ichimoku Ren/OC fic (apparently there's not enough fanfiction for this fandom which is shocking considering that its three seasons long and it's a pretty unusual and interesting story).



I'll admit to snaking around this anime for awhile, without giving it much thought, but I'm glad that I gave it a chance after continuos nagging.

To give the basics, I'll just start by saying that the anime is about a site that people can access just at midnight.

It's to seek revenge. The person that accesses said site puts the name of the person they want sent to hell and alas, Jigoku Shoujo (Enma Ai) shows up offering a straw doll with a red string. If the person pulls the red string, the revenge will be dealt with, but at a price... The person who seeks revenge will go to hell themselves when they eventually die as payment for Enma Ai's aid. Usually the revenge scenes are rather nightmarish; involving the cursed person being questioned about their 'sins' and being psychologically tortured with illusions until at the last moment, Enma Ai does a little chant that ends with 'Do you want to try dying this once?'. After that is said, she rows a ferry carrying the cursed person through the gates of hell (sort of like the legend of River Stix).

Did I make much sense when I explained that? LOL Anyways, she also has three helpers that assist her during these 'revenges'. That explains why the Ichimoku Ren fic that was requested of me (I'll do it after I do more research to write it perfectly. I'm a bit of freak for detail).

Ichimoku Ren is one of Enma Ai's helpers. I won't say much about him since I'd be giving spoilers to the series, but let's just say that he's a young good looking guy that has his left eye covered with long black bangs. He's a bit of a narcisist, but not exageratedly so (the guy knows he looks good and isn't afraid to admit it. I've also noticed that he can be a bit callous in saying some things; perhaps due to him not being 'human'.) It took me a while to get 'used' to his character, since I'm more into redheads (a little fetish of mine) and he's a brunette, but in the end, I have a weakness for hot anime guys. Darn you, Celeste for nagging me for months! You know that Mills requested 'The Solitary Twin' and now lots of people are counting on me!

I might write the first chapter after careful diligent brainstorming, but in the meantime I'll work on the next chap for 'The Solitary Twin'. I will no longer take requests because sometimes it's really tough keeping up with them. I have a old Sesshomaru/OC request pending for over the last couple of years (I might never get it done. I have a knack for rarely seen anime)

To see this wonderful anime for FREE go to these links:

Hell Girl Season 1

Hell Girl Season 2

Hell Girl Season 3 

And yes people, these links are free-to-watch anime. I wouldn't suggest something you have to pull out a credit card for. If I suggest an anime/manga, it's because it can be seen for free in a site. I like to help people enjoy it without a price and there's so many great sites that dish it out to us. I really hope that anyone that sees Hell Girl enjoys it as much as I did. =)

6:58 AM - ANIME SUGGESTION: Ghost-Hunt

Since I've been bored, I've started rewatching GhostHunt. It's a pretty good creepy anime. Not the usual mushy kind, but more of the type of anime that deals with ghost hunting investigations. (you know the whole temp gadgets, nightcams and priests/priestess/monk exorcism.) The background stories are pretty cool too. It's a lot better than it sounds, so if people are retarded enough in expecting a scary anime with monsters and swords to be the only good thing, then you need your head examined.

This anime far exceeds the expectations of what a creepy anime with suspenseful ambience and unpredictability SHOULD be.

High-school student Mai Taniyama, a girl who loves telling ghost stories, finds a job working for Kazuya Shibuya, a psychic investigator and owner of Shibuya Psychic Research. They, together with a Catholic priest, a Buddhist monk, a dubiously-skilled priestess, and a famous spiritual medium investigate all manner of supernatural activity, from curses to hauntings. Really, the setting isn't much different from what you'd expect to see on one of those live-action 'ghost hunter' shows. Except, you know, the houses are actually haunted in Ghost Hunt.

To watch the entire anime for free, go here:  Ghost-Hunt

You can just call me, your friendly free anime supplier! Yes! I dish out anime for those that don't know much about it! YAY!

4:18 PM - ANIME SUGGESTION: Rumiko Takahashi's 'Mermaid Forest'

I watched the whole entire thing in just two days and it turns out... THAT I LOVED IT! WTF, right?! HAHA! Anyways, just a recap of the story. This guy named Yuta who has been alive for over 500 years because he gained immortality from eating mermaid flesh, rescues a human girl named Mana from a village composed of mermaids that had been raising her in order to eat her and regain their youth. In order for the whole 'youth revival' thing to work, they had to kill one of their own and feed some of her flesh to Mana, thus making her immortal (to be eaten, mind you). I won't say anymore because you HAVE TO WATCH IT! Go to: http://www.animeratio.com/anime/mermaid-forest/episode-1.php

Its only thirteen episodes long, but I must warn that its for a more mature audience, since there's some scenes that are bloody, rather disturbing and there's even some near rape scenes tossed in there. The thirdteenth episode was said to be so strong that it couldn't be aired on Japanese television (I watched it and it was indeed very graphic and bloody), so it was sold only on video. At least ALL of the episodes are on animeratio so people won't have to go site hopping in order to watch the whole series, including the infamous 'bloody episode 13'.

I expected it to be full of sappyness, but I was thrilled to see that it wasn't a 'regular mermaid story'. The socalled beautiful mermaids were actually quite ugly with deformed fishlike faces that had mouths full of huge teeth (they like biting a lot too).

There was also some tragedy behind the consumption of the immortalizing 'mermaid flesh'; it could either on very rare occasions grant immortality (until said person's head gets chopped off); a painful death; or make them into a 'lost soul' or 'deformed one'; an ugly humanoid fishlike monster that kills and eats everything they can get their claws on.

To tell the truth, everytime a mermaid showed up in the anime, I got freaked out because I knew it couldn't be good. This anime made me SCARED of them. I will never see 'The Little Mermaid' the same way again! LOL

Rumiko Takahashi did a banged up job of making the cutesy mermaid myth into a horror story. I mean I've heard that legend before. Shit in fact, where I come from there's some legends as well...

The eating of mermaid flesh grants immortality; mermaids lure men into the ocean to drown and eat them; mermaids mascerade as mortal women in order to be impregnated by human men; mermaids aren't as beautiful as in fairytales (according to ancient 'encounters' of fishermen facing them, these 'creatures' were often described as being more like a humanoid fish, with really deformed features and jagged teeth and talons); seeing a mermaid signals bad weather like sea storms and hurricanes; mermaids are usually wary of people but do become violent if they need to.

This anime, I think, really followed all of the un-fairytalelike aspects of the mermaid myth. It really went into the negative side, making mermaids seem more like deceptive heartless animals that were not only victimizers, but on many occasions victims themselves (for the whole 'immortal mermaid flesh' thing).

Why the freak was I so scared of watching this anime?! I feel so stupid now. Every time someone told me to watch it, I was like: A mermaid story? Fuck no! I don't want to see something as dorky as that. But I enjoyed it. It's a damned shame there isn't more... *sniffle* I thought the only scary mermaid stories I've seen was that cheap Sci-Fi movie 'She-Creature' (did I even get the title right?) and that one episode of Pet Shop of Horrors called 'Delicious'. I think Speed-grapher had an episode with a mermaid as well. She killed people by luring them into the water with her I think. She was a hired assasin of some sort.

Anywho! What will I watch next, I wonder! (probably will give Higurashi: When They Cry another shot, ne?)

9:56 PM - One of my anime-binges.

That anime Higurashi: When They Cry confused the absolute crap outta me because it was just a bunch of disjointed stories killing off the same people in different ways. The violence and the mystery was awesome though, but I still didn't have enough drive to finish watching it... (shit, the opening scene showed Keichi bashing the shit out of some girls with a metal baseball bat. It was bloody but not as bloody as the opening scenes of Elfen Lied. So I took the suggestion in watching Boogiepop Phantom and so far its more depressing than creepy. I liked Ghost-Hunt better because it had a 'normal sense' of paranormal horror. I don't know... It's just that mystical creatures don't really do it for me anymore.

A buddy of mine is trying to convince me to watch Mermaid Forest and I might just do it if I get bored again. It has something to do with people becoming immortal by eating mermaid flesh. It's supposed to be horror, but considering that it's from Rumiko Takahashi, there's no telling if its horror, or just action/adventure/romance/comedy and quite frankly all four of those genres that I've just mentioned, give me the scratch already. (from what I'm told, it's actually more mystery/drama/ with a smidge of romance, so I might start watching it tonight in animeration tonight)

I'm just soooo bored!

9:09 AM - Stupid Fucking Medical System In Puerto Rico

I honestly hate dealing with lazy people that are either too inept or just don't feel like doing their motherfucking jobs! TWO doctors appointment for my daughter have been canceled at the last minute because these ASSHOLES prefer having 'emergency vacations'. That's why the medical system is often criticized in the shitty little island I call home (to tell you the truth I don't know why they fucking call this the 'The Island of Enchantment', when everything here is just shit and before anyone goes off on me and calls me racist... I AM PUERTO RICAN MYSELF!)

My daughter's dentist appointment last week (on friday) cancelled at the last minute after I waited for a freaking hour in a half since six o'clock in the morning. Did they call to say they'd cancelled? N FUCKING O! NO!

Today my daughter was supposed to have some tests run on her at SEVEN IN THE MORNING! Do you know how hard it is to wake up a four year old at five o'clock so she could eat breakfast, get dressed and hit the street before 'summer school' traffic clogs up every roadway? FUCKING NURSES DON'T!

The stupid receptionist said that the nurse that ran the tests was sick, but I know the truth. With that 'beach bunny' look the old lady had and the way she talked about wanting to go to Isla Verde (a beach town) when she was in the middle of writing my daughter's appointment last week... Yeah. She's really sick alright.

If these mother-fucking bastards don't want to work (government medical system), they should go elsewhere other than wasting our time so needlessly, because as far as I know the money I pay in sale's tax and all of the fucking income taxes bled out of my paychecks and even light and water bills, pays THEIR saleries.

Bunch of cocksuckers.

2:36 PM - OC Development, Sakoi Etsu

Don't expect to see this in any of my stories. I hate doing personality charts on OCs and then making them public, but its a good way to keep track of my work. So I'll keep it limited to here and if any of my readers happens to see it, sorry! =( I'll do a chart of another OC I have that turned totally Mary Sue for the Bleach fandom another day)

Sakoi, Etsu

Nationality : Japanese

Birthdate : August 18, 1994 (since the story is set on present day)

Zodiac Sign: Leo (believe it or not, that sign IS compatible with Gemini, so seeing so many writers making their OCs into Libras has made a lot of OC fics boring), She also has Scorpio as her 'Rising Sign', which influences her looks and some traits of her cold outward personality.

Age : Currently 16 (since it isn't August in the story timeline at least).

Height: 5 foot 3

Weight : 103 pounds (tiny little thing)

Hair : Originally blue/black

Eyes : originally Violet

Complecion : very pale

Flaws : dramatic flair, prideful, cold, belittling others, stubborness, contemptful (hateful), bossyness, hot tempered, likes having a large audience when making a point (and she's not particularly shy in doing it)= some unadmirable traits of a Leo and yes, I do use astrology to shape an OC. It really works to create good characters!

Good Qualities : good at acting (definite Leo quality), honest when it benefits her for either good or bad purposes, takes responsibility for her actions if she has no other choice, increadibly loyal to those rare individuals she grows to care about (even to the point of self-sacrifice).

Likes : Beautiful surroundings (explains why she has a thing against Ouran's 'unharmonious architecture'), constant movement, children, things that show promises of being entertaining (either good or 'evil')

Dislikes : physical pain (gets overly cranky if in pain), the conceitedness of others (even if she's somewhat snooty herself), being laughed at, being taught by others (since it proves that she doesn't know everything like she thinks she does), being lied to, being bored, hates being ignored (even when she ignores others. She can be a bit of hipocrite), and annoying people that don't share the same interests as her (pretty much everyone)

What Scorpio Rising Brings to her overall personality: Can be intense with a lot of presence. There is something about her that tells the world that she's not to be pushed around. Her attitude commands respect, and in some cases, fear. Either quiet or loud, she always seems powerful and determined. 

  She rarely goes through life unnoticed. In fact, she's confused when faced with the fact that she gets such strong reactions from others. She can seem to look right through people, seeing through superficiality. This can be quite intimidating to some, and intriguing to others. She always reads 'between the lines'.

Values her privacy so much, that it borders on paranoia. She has a strong need to control her environment and is an expert at strategy. She plans out her moves carefully and deliberately.

Believe it or not, I DO this with cannon characters as well to see if I can write them better than the superficial depictions other writers seem to love giving them. And if anyone finds that making astrology charts for OCs is weird, let me tell you that I used to work a lot with astrology for REAL people (and studied bits of psychology too). This is basically normal for me and it helps to understand characters better for writing purposes. ;-)

8:49 AM - There's always some stupid mother-fucking asshole

 

I really hate some people. My grandfather (I live near him to help him out with the house and so on) has MCS ClassicCare and guess what..

I don't know if those people are so desperate for work, but they fucking call every day to make my grandfather do the same repetitive surveys  and force him to pointless doctors' appointments.

I just recently found out that the reason why the operators for MCS do this shit (giving the same surveys to the same person every week using different operators and making the person go to an appointment two to three times a week, even going as far as doing house-visits) is because they DON'T GET PAID UNLESS THE PERSON GOES TO A DOCTOR. In other words, these assholes are making the PATIENTS work for THEM.

Today alone the house got three calls, from different MCS opperators doing the same survey for the SAME person. My grandpa did one of them... Fifteen minutes after the call was hung up and the survey was finished, yet ANOTHER asshole called with another survey.

When my grandfather started to take it, he stopped and asked kind of confused: "Wait, why are you guys giving me the same survey TWICE? Someone from there called a while ago to take THIS survey and now YOU are calling making me take the same thing again."

The operator didn't know what to say, because they were all obviously ganging on only one MCS client for the same shit. I guess for them it's kill three birds with one stone kind of shit.

I guess that the point that I'm trying to make is that when we PAY FOR SOMETHING, that something shouldn't bug the shit out of us uneccesarily.

All of their clients are going through this shit as well as getting their monthly payments raised and getting medical benifits taken away.

Because of this, I'm going to help my grandfather get a new medical provider so MCS and their reduntant money-grubbing bullshit can suck the devil's flaming cunt.

6:39 PM - Things That Could Piss Off A Writer

 

1. Lack of reviews but plenty of hits: This kind of thing could lead a author to think that their story is not being read or taken seriously. We sometimes need acknowledgement for us bringing our 'fantasies' to you. We don't do it just to please ourselves, but to please others as well and it does take time, practice and effort to write a good story so people other than ourselves can enjoy it. Receiving no feedback makes all that effor appear to be in vain.

2. Critique from non-writers or just plain 'shit-writers': I've had novices going off on me for not updating or for writing something they didn't like in a fic. Face it, what really counts in a fanfic is: IC, good plot, grammar, and writing style. NOT the pairing choice, or the chain of events transcuring. In the end, the WRITER decides, so criticizing someone for choosing a pairing you don't like or making something like a natural disaster or car accident occur happen in the fic, makes you look like a whiny little bitch that doesn't understand this concept and FACT. As for writer's block, we get them all the time and its not because we want to. If we start a new fic in order to refresh ourselves and not forget how to deliver a good story in spite of feeling dry on another pairing or plot, flaming the writer, will just get you reported and flamed right back because it just proves how ignorant you are when it comes to writing a long-term fic.

3. Complaining about sex in a 'smut-plot' specially when the fic is rated-M: Sweetiepie, not EVERYBODY thinks like you. There's few virgins, sex-hating prudes out there but when a fic is rated M, has 'sexual content' on a summary and its said in the A/N that its a 'smut-plot' complaining about a 'clean fic' makes you sound like a clit-less clueless wonder. I've even gotten shit like this on adultsites, which is funny considering that these sites are full of PWP and my fics at least have plotlines and backstories to them.

4. Grammar Nazi's who obviously can't spell worth a shit: A couple of years back I had some brat telling me how to use proper grammar and when I checked her profile all she had was ONE drabble that had a ton of mispellings. Jealous much?

5. Flammers: If it isn't a constructive criticism, these assholes could just go eat shit and fuck themselves up the ass with a spiked metal bat for all I care. Most of the time they're just jealous at all the attention a fic is getting (oftentimes other writers giving flaming reviews incognito. It's happened to me before.) or just need to go off on somebody. I've been flamed for stupid shit before, sometimes shit that didn't even have anything to do with my fic (leading me to think that the flamer didn't really read it and just 'popped' in to flame something randomnly) or they said something that just had them look downright retarded.

Do us ALL a favor and go kill yourselves. We don't give a shit that your life is worthless, so don't waste the space for actual valuable readers/friends/reviewers by writing petty bullshit that speaks of how uncreative and pathetic you are.

11:06 AM - Bored

 

Since my old easyjournal is being a piece of shit (it's been out for nearly three fucking months already) I'll probably use this new journal to keep my fic followers up to date. That's about it. I still can't find the old password to my blurty journal! Can you believe how hopeless I am? Well... Now I'll go finish watching Higurashi: When They Cry. I wasn't sure about that anime at first, but it has violence and a bit of mystery despite its goofy moments (I just don't really like those 'big eyed dime a dozen' anime girls that appear everywhere.)

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.

10:18 PM - CANNONxCANNON FIC PEEVES

Yes. I have peeves with tons of CannonXCannon fics.

1. Cliches: Same parings, same basic plots, DIFFERENT writers. I understand if you liked the idea after seeing it, but making a 'cloned fic' really makes me want to change fandoms.

2. The same pairings: There's way too many
Sess/Kags than Inu/Kags (considering that Inu/Kag is actually
cannon while Sess/Kag is a whimsical fangirl fantasy writers come
up with to insert themselves disguised as a cannon character.
Believe me, making Kagome into a Mary Sue, doesn't mean readers
don't notice its actually 'you' you're writing
about.

3. One Female Heroine in 90% of all fics in a
fandom:
It gets really boring, repetitive,
unrealistic. There's not that many plot ideas for said female
mostly she's the only love interest for ALL males. Perfect
examples are 'Fujioka Haruhi' or 'Higurashi Kagome'. In Bleach,
'Kuchiki Rukia' is slowly starting to get the worn down overly
used heroine routine by being paired up with not only ALL
males, but in some occasions even females. These cannon-sues
are also infesting crossovers. (Kagome is the one being mostly
used in the crossover genre)


4.  More yaoi then het in a
fandom: 
I LOVE YAOI! But when you
see that 9 out of every 10 fics is yaoi, you begin to
HATE it. Go to AFF.net to see how much yaoi there is in
comparison to het or yuri in the following
fandoms: Final Fantasy, Bleach, Inuyasha.


5. Author's Comparing themselves to a
cannon-heroine:
Mary-Sue much?


6. Everyone falling in love at first
sight.


7. Reverse Harem fics: No matter how you
color a female-cannon, you're succesfully making her a
self-insert by making her fuck everybody that has a hot body,
especially when you make it all into her POV and no one refuses
her or finds her behavior odd.


8. Mary-Suing a cannon-female: People have to
avoid describing how BEAUTIFUL a cannon female is in their
stories and how everybody both male and female instantly fall
in love with them for their 'gorgeousness'. It's redundant,
stupid and fucks up the mangaka's cannon creation so much that
the fanfic author should be banned from writing ever again.
These overzealous writers have made me HATE certain
cannon-females. Every time I read in a fic with the
following 'SHE'S SO CUTE!' or see guys making bets about
who wins the hot 'new girl' in school, I feel like FLAMING
it.


9. SciFi, most OCC AUs (mostly when in stupid oneshots),
Vampire Fics for fandoms that don't even have vampires,
Werewolf fics, incubus/succubus fics, 'human fics' ( alot of
Inuyasha fics have done that by making all yokai human in AU,
so has Bleach), magical people in universes that are not
so magical (like a flying witch in a OHSHC
fanfic) ect.,


10. Fluffying hot 'cold characters': I'm
SCARED of reading Sesshy fics or Byakuya fics (even Ulquiorra
fics for that matter) because of them being OCCd and fluffied
out to inrecognition.

11. Superficial character depictions: Make them
feel alive, not like a 'dummy' that does things without
feelings, thoughts or likes and dislikes. I know some people
don't analize characters the way I do, but geez! Most
characters aren't even FELT.


12. Grammer, grammer, grammer! I suck at it too,
but make an effort in writing something legible.


I'll write more when I see
more bullshit or get bored. And yes, this was a RANT.

10:11 PM - Twins/OC Peeves I'm Trying to Avoid

1. Haruhi-clones ( tomboyish girl that is almost like Haruhi)

2. American OC. ( I'm Puerto Rican, but I thought that my OC should be Japanese herself.)

3. Making Etsu like me and saying it. (When you think a character is 'like' you, you accidently make her into a Mary Sue without knowing it until its too late, so its best to think of her/him as a unique individual separate from you.)

4. Using the twins and depicting them as hollow 'figureheads'. ( they have their own relationship, personalities, and thoughts and I like writing it! I'm a hardcore Hitanchiincest fan!)

5. Only OC POVs ( I found myself hating fics that did that. I like keeping it evened out between all characters. Sometimes Etsu's POVs doesn't even appear in some chapters.) 6. OC Lists in first chapter (I don't know, but all the fics that did that turned me off instantly. OCs should be kept a mystery.)

6. Perfect, flawless OC ( I think everyone agrees with).

7. Only implying twincest without much detail. (I really found myself hating that, because when you think Hikaru/Kaoru, you think TWINCEST. I've seen way too many fics that make them straight. *cringes*)

8. Predictability (I like plot-twisting, but keeping the mini-plots as part of the HUGE PLOT.)

9. Unrealism ( the twins have a incestous relationship, so making it without conflict is making it unrealistic. I'm sure anyone in a relationship of this kind have difficulties not only with themselves but with society in general.)

10. Fluff (I HATE FLUFF! Mostly when it's spontanious. I'll only write it if a 'moment' calls for it, otherwise don't expect a fic of mine to have it in large quantities. *URG*)

11. Making it just about the OC (c'mon, it's a fic that has twincest as a plotline-base. It can't be all about her.)

12. Instant attraction ( it's best to have a character EARN that attraction, not just get it on the first shot for no reason. I've seen a lot of Haruhi/Twins that did that as well)

13. Bad grammar, not separating POVs, etc ( I think this has been the downfall of most OC fics. Some have really good ideas and plots, but when its written out, things like grammar/vagueness/pace could turn people away from an otherwise great story)

14. Review whoring ( don't do that to a fic, especially an OC-fic. People will either not review it or flame you for thinking of review-whoring for chapters on a new character they don't know. MMorg had a bunch of writers doing that and their stories remain unfinished and mostly only ONE CHAPTER; they also have a flame or two.)

15. Over the top characteristics (don't make her 'amazing' to the point of nausea. That mainly explains why I made Etsu have a truly evil-streak and negative-quiet-presence that rubs the characters the wrong way, because as a flaw IT HAS TO create an adversion.)

16. Reverse Harem (I HATE that genre, even if its Haruhi. Making the twins fall for the same girl is kind of pushing it, but having one or two other hosts other than them sniffing after her really kills an OC).

17. Lack of unique personality (OHSHC is a manga/anime that has pretty flamboyant characters. The only 'normal' one is Haruhi herself. You have to make a char that fits in the crazy OHSHC-verse, yet isn't the same as other cannon in the series and doesn't grab all of the attention. If she can stand on her own without being a Mary Sue, I'll give you cookies!)

  18. Tragic OCs ( making an OC an orphan, repeatedly raped and handicapped is not going to keep her from being a Mary Sue. I hate exagerated tragic OCs. It's okay to give them their sad moments and trials, but not by overdoing it like a lot of writers do by making these OCs live an 'unfair battle' for just breathing. I saw one OC that was beaten by her brother just because 'he didn't like her' and another OC nearly getting raped for 'just being in a place with horny boys' or being a sex-slave/courtesan 'because her mother was one and raised her to be one'. Sounds exagerated enough? Everyone has a tragedy or two in their lives, but NOT this DRASTIC!)
