Meh. I don't mind author inserts or super-special snowflake characters, per se. However, I despise character derailment. When other characters stop being themselves to accomodate the MarySue, when they do nothing but talk about her, when they don't even care about their own problems (or their own problems seem to exist only for her to solve) - grr. Also when the laws of the universe/ circumstances seem to bend to accomodate the Mary Sue and absolve her of all guilt. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-18 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyS2VrdUl2OHh3by0tM2ljbzBiOURnM1N1bHJIbjFmSFU5QnpvVk9FUnMzaG1nRDktZnVQQlBLcjBvSGp0VmRnZjNpT2lxUU9MMGJuSm5YNl9ucGtuLWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5R2k3M3NXZVQ4UXZsVm5Nc0EzRThMQ3dCUGZZQ3R1UDFvUVdZem1GaGJESDA4RDRqR3R5a2NLdTV3dnhkamMzdGMxRFJhemNlMDY4WmZuLVRxREFRZEJ0VmdmWnpDSnZVSXd4bG1UZVFMZTU2anhEWmJjeENibVNwbTRiSWw3ck50VUVKZzNrMGl5LWkwOUdBTk9UWkdlOHBJbmlZY1pEcEhEREliOGU2ZjhxOUpad011ZUxyUWQtMWJoVkJJWndp |
Whenever I think about wish fulfillment I think of the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child. I go between wondering if Lee Child wishes he *was* Jack Reacher or if Jack Reacher is 100% the guy he'd go gay for. Either way, I don't really mind: his stories are usually fun beach or airplane reads. I've never been like "ugh Jack Reacher what a Marty Stu" but I'm super quick to be like, "no doubt the author's super manly don't-ask-don't-tell wet dream is Jack Reacher," lol.
Also - I gotta say - there's this super interesting schism between the character itself and *the way the character is perceived in the universe.* Like Bella and Charlie from Supernatural -- I thought both those characters were *super* flawed. Like *incredibly* flawed. Bella was weak as fuck and reveled in the romanticism of being weak (::personal gagging over here::) & Charlie was tremendously socially awkward & just thoroughly not "cool" at all... and not "not cool" in a cool way - she lacked charisma where, say, Kaylee from Firefly or Willow from BTVS, excelled.
Anyway, my point is that I totally saw flaws in these characters and I thought they were written pretty well for that. What *didn't* make a lot of sense for Twilight or Supernatural with Bella & Charlie was how the author or writers had all the *rest* of the characters in the universe treating them like God's greatest gift.
So if we go back and look at your (awesome) definitions of mary sue:
> One, a wish-fulfillment author self-insert. Two (this is a characteristic of the original Mary Sue from Star Trek fanfic) a character who's unbelievably and freakishly good at everything.
I guess Bella & Charlie would qualify as the former. Only Bella's character was written as exalted bc virginity & Mormonism symbolism (it had nothing to do with the author self-inserting herself; she was sending a message promoting virginity & Mormonism) and Charlie's character was written by a (straight?) guy.
So... if a character has flaws that *you* clearly see and the rest of the characters in the story *don't,* is she *really* a "Mary Sue" or are you just a) not getting the message (Bella) or b) refusing to enjoy a well-written female character just because "everybody else on the show loves her"?

>When other characters stop being themselves to accomodate the MarySue
I *just* finished writing my comment about this - the "mary sue character" vs. "she becomes a mary sue bc everybody loves her" thing.
Honestly, if other characters stop being themselves to accommodate the female character, shouldn't that be more a criticism of *those* characters (or the writing of those characters) rather than the female character?
Like I've seen stuff like "<this character did this terrible thing> and then <x char> just let it fly by as endearing! wtf! I dislike her so much - she's such a mary sue!"
But in fact it should be like, "<this character did this terrible thing> and then <x char> just let it fly by as endearing! wtf!

That's such an interesting point because I was having trouble verbalizing what Bella's "skills" were and I found myself thinking "her skill is being adored for no good reason." Like, the "amazingly sweet-smelling" thing - she's literally the nicest smelling human being Edward has ever smelled in centuries, and he falls in love with her basically *just because of that*, lol. (yep that's a good trait to base a long-term relationship on and give up all your family and friends and your entire life... but I digress) That's not exactly a "skill" really. So she's definitely not the super-skilled type of Mary Sue.
I do suspect her to be an authorial self-insert though, and one reason I think that is because of the physical description that Meyer gave for Bella on her blog, which matches Stephanie Meyer to a T. Meyer says she deleted this from the final text of the book (*explicitly* so that readers could imagine themselves as Bella! - Meyer was trying to convert Bella from an author self-insert to... a reader self-insert!). But on her blog she provides the full description of Bella and it has all these precise little elements - widow's peak, brown hair & brown eyes, "lips too full for jawline" iirc, heart-shaped face etc., none of which are all that rare I guess but all of which happen to *exactly* match Stephanie Meyer's appearance. Bella's even exactly the same height as Meyer! (5'4") As a writer I know it is NOT coincidence if you give your character the exact same hair & eye color that you yourself have... let alone the precise same height and lip proportions, ha. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyN3ZCYVcwWk5xWEtHY3pDVFBRQmxmcGhSQkN3QkVjbHhVNFFadG1nNEh1MWVrMzBaVTU1a3pRRUwweW5Od3pfNTVpTVhTWHVzVndfY1NzZVVzSjVYMUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5QTlOZURxR3hqUDVwTENzN2V6S2VlblMweG45SUNsYjBjdnY2NmdxYVdzejBtS1MwT0hLbl9ieE1uQk9CV2FtY3NUZU9IZ2FObXkycDZBRTcwa2RJOTAwR1BzLTVSYzZrRlBVYk1yZXd3RG5DcVVxZnVzeVlvZzV0Tkx4VXQ4M2t3UEk0Z0JZV2VORVVTWFdwTDQ5WGpETTR3V3VucUpucGozQ2JjVGRCVVNhYlVWd1V1akRIbkQ3WjFMMDJLbDNf |
lol well fair enough re: Bella & the likeness to Stephanie Meyers.
>I was having trouble verbalizing what Bella's "skills" were and I found myself thinking "her skill is at being adored for no good reason."
I thoroughly agree. But I'm basically putting it out there that maybe she's not a Mary Sue & rather it's the writing and characterization of *everyone else around her* that's more off than she is.
Like transplant Bella into an inner city school after her parents divorced and she'd be perfect as Julia Stiles' character in "Save the Last Dance," which admittedly kinda sucked, but not because Stiles' character was considered a Mary Sue... and also it was still 100x more entertaining and interesting than Twilight imo (lol). | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyUllYeDRoekpla242aFZ1b0dJTHRwV3p6aVR5RXFobXllNmdlb2ZhZ3FkM0gxdnYzcHZiODBiOXRnRHpiTHhrcnl1RzRZSWxXdkZ6N3NOZEwtUEhmZkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5bmZuVGVWeXdrMzQzRWdlUXFHajJZWU10U0dlZ2k1bmNJYnpKMWYwMndCaDNBQXlDYkQ0aGprcEVLaXFYcEl5T0VUMllSNS1Pa1h3RlBpY3lBR1plSkMyMGxLR2pjRXdmQW4tdS00Z2JnX1dkeEQ0RFREVWdDVDYwc3FDeW1FVTRjRWpHYVdNQkZzejlyalZnc3pQOGkwX01aUTVjRDQ0bWllS1dLQ0hXdVFLTXROVEN1ZlVkWVBtM2NhM0dPcWV1 |
Now I'm wondering if a component of author-wish-fulfillment writing (whether or not we choose to define that as "Mary Sue") is poor writing of the other characters - the problem you're pointing out of everybody adoring the lead character for no good reason.
Casting back again to the original Mary Sue from Star Trek, I seem to recall everybody adored her? So that when she died tragically (just picture the drama - the youngest and smartest cadet to ever graduate from the Academy, tragically dying to save the Enterprise iirc, *and also widely adored by everybody she met*), everybody on the entire ship was plunged into griefstricken mourning, lol.
Though of course we don't let to need the Star Trek roots of the term determine our current definition of a Mary Sue. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyOEdXWU54MVdkck5zaFZfYlQxVE1xemdCUmkyQ1dnRTZWV3ZqM2pTblA0cDZfWDBwWE5mdEZoLTRvWlJsVHczb0drZld1cVotOG1HZUlUWi02b3FLYUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5alhNWW9PWlpyYVNCSjVWZEVWaE1HTU13NGpyLXNPeW5hbkszZl9ZY3hyY1VJMnJTc0pRNlgwNWF5aE1ET1hGVVJLSGxxb0JGcWpjNHJsZGphS2hRdDczZ1FndmJKZkpNVVV1dTJITV8zWlh1NzlLOVlHYVJVRWdwZzNJTFJMdlBkcUtSaWdRMGVqX1JDakstNUVUTEpiQUpvVmVxUXlReVZuUWozcklzNDdYN3o4V3NGRXhyZ2hqTFc5ZzFsQmhh |

Right? I think it is. But if ALL the characters & plots in the story get compromised due to the presence of a perfectly fine flawed female character, I'm more like "what's up with this shitty *shitty* writing of these other characters," than I am thinking, "ugh what a Mary Sue."
It kind of reminds me of the reaction some women have when the guys they love/care about are like "omg that woman is so amazing holy crap" at a bar and instead of jokingly saying "simmer down nah bud" they say "ew she's not such hot shit." Edit: so like the "Bella is only loved for how she smells" thing -- why not be like "wtf is wrong with Edward? He needed to tone his shit down." | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyTkpZNUxNN2MxNzJXd2l2Wko4UUZRdC15LWt1akVJbVBYSVVsbzFQNFdrYW9hMTVrR0xpUUE2WllDb0MzOUw3MHM3blM1djh6eXJfV1lkalpkVGhfT1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5eXJyMGNWUlhsWGtpcU1RWmg1T212YW9vZ3JzS1VhcVBVdno0c1cyeFRFcmxhVnk1RnJRX1ZjRGxQOXoyLWJ5RE16TEdhY2FWNVRVV3Q0Szd2RjdWWXlYazVEazRaTXBIZnFzTjdUWjdOdkdUaXdHVjFDcHhfUGNaaVhJWUk1ZkRVQ2pqdmZUMDJOcmhJQ0x1ODU4SC1OeE1BY0V4RkUzcjNWdVVTSExmWVp1eXc0WnZMUUFvcWFKTFZ5Y3p0ZmtB |
I finally managed to listen to this (so basically super late).
I wish they wouldn't dismiss guys getting harassed online as "well, they're straight rich guys, so......." They don't deserve to be harassed anymore than Felicia Day or Kathryn Newton does. It might not be the same quality or quantity, but let's not throw them off board, just because they're "straight, white, right men." No harassment for anyone.
I wish they'd broken this up into two if not three episodes. Fanfiction, fandom, and cultural stuff. That's two solid episodes where they could dig even deeper into so many topics.
I really wanted even more discussion on why women write fanfiction beyond "slash, porn, and legacy." They're right, but going into other avenues of fanfiction, why it's popular, and fandom in general would have been nice. Some of the downsides of fanfiction and attitudes against them.
that kind of thing. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoySFcxYzd3MjRPSEV1X3MyMmVKMlJuN3kwWVhHeUNObHJQSlR6dHM3c1UtWVNULWV2d3dwYjlCdGVubFcwUzcyd1hXQUl4WkNCNHVlQTBNM1oyUjBiaEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5bUNJWlA1RWt5dE9aeWtWM2E2cS1CRnlGSy15OG9tZWxqUExrVVF3anZLRHkwUkwzWEtuODV2ZGs0c3JvYzIxZTI5eENUbFBfLUlLbGpnU0hGbDdQczBnUDVLLVNkNHRjNUpsbGp0bUtYbV8zWW1pQkliQWtnVmlMWVFaek9aeFFUZ3ZWbElSUVBsSmNOMC1BLV9tblJ3VklqVm56b0NKX2FnZGpsWGt6aGViQnhUT3piakFFVE5OLW9FU1lKUlc2OVNZajBlOW9CeXpQaFVuUU16aEZyQT09 |
Uhhh..... I came here because I thought something had happened at theMarySue.com and was concerned. So you guys are talking about the Mary Sue Trope, yeah? For anyone else that needs catching up, like me, here's TV Tropes. Also Wikipedia:
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MarySue
> Mary Sue is an often derogatory term primarily used in Fan Fic circles to describe a particular type of character. This much everyone can agree on.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Sue
From the sound of scanning these articles, I'm learning something today. I had no idea what a MS was. Something about how Mary Sues are how the author can insert her/himself into the story, character is often idealized without any actual flaws, and allows for author wish fulfillment.
(The neat thing is that I didn't realize that this originated in Star Trek! (Doesn't everything?) I thought it actually came from Spiderman (aka Mary Jane). *Now* I understand why they kept saying Wesley was a Marty Sue, since he's supposed to be Gene as a kid.)

Mary Sue's to me seem a bit sexist. There are a lotta Marty Stu's in stories as well, but are not seen as such or met with a lot less hatred.
I don't enjoy char's who are awesome at everything with very few flaws, that everybody fawns over, but there is a bit of Mary/Marty Sue in a lot of television series. Instead of being great at everything (or nearly everything) they are overly good at one thing, or anything related to that 'specialty'
From what I can understand, a Mary Sue is a character who never gets enough development, so everybody starts as a Sue/Stu. Until their flaws are revealed.

Flawed writing doesn't make one not a Mary Sue. Charlie was made to be "adorably awkward right up until she needed to be Hardcore!" Then she's ninjasword Charlie. It's actually one of the tenets of Mary Sue, that she be adorably awkward right up until she needs to kick massive ass. And socially geeky, but not outcast geeky, cool geeky, where she's super popular geeky. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyYkIzblFPb2F6YzRwVVM2dFlsSzVqMUJTOUI5MVNjX2lrOXZvMm1OR0tlczRwbzB1Y2RUUi1MaVZTMjZyeWJYUFgwZ3R0QnBMRmVpSF9TdzBiaTVkSXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5dXRlMUFCb1hNVzlBV25sdmpJbXZmbk9Zak5CTEVReWVoOXU5ZUtVTmMxbTYtdS1NQ3hFWjRIZzFobTFjeWJwZmEyZVhselctMjZ2Qm5aU0pLaUpoMVFETksyWGI5QjFNdUFYdHNwdnVxbmdMbXJvVHdHNEV3cndySXloQUVnMnZ5Smp5NUFfeVo3SVZYSlNUMHFLb2xGU0tpa2REb3hiSHBjTmpJWlRuQTBtbkN5bU1rckZuc19kd2FsWjNVZV84 |

Last, I was at a convention with Simon Pegg and in the Q&A, someone mentioned that they wanted to make zombie movies, and asked Simon for any advice or tips, and Simon's tip was to use oatmeal for zombie makeup. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyQlY3RlhOS1Y0TjhjWFAyMDRvQ3VtNFBuRTJmRzEwZlF4a0x6dXpKUmZlY25FVGxzZ3lnb09iV01JelZUZDJmU1BNM0Y5dzl0U0hQYUtRbG11TTJXWXdEVG9YU2ZsdjJ2TWFHWnQ4QUdzQUU9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5d21uc2lRVlpKdnhvZWVOaE1najdCSC0tbXpCRlY1ZGFJOEpDeGZmNmRBWWdFSU9qS21zd0NDdWtCTWl1YWhDUzNmNVBhNFp5LW1FbXFZcXpqRTVDTGpBQ2lWNWxNVk5JR0c5ekxpUDFSUFQtOGo4cHpreGlfLVRkZVpUa0xXcXA0cThKRU9xT3J5QmEzY0FZWlQ4Zk9IRnBiM0R1OXB6b0RuY2Z3WUhzc2FBUWRkVW9GRzByS3AyLVJGZFdXQWpt |

Personally? I've been in fandoms long enough to realise that a "Mary Sue" these days just means "a female power fantasy that I do not like" -- or even more commonly "a female character I don't like". Call a badly written character badly written, we do not need a gendered term for it. Call a power fantasy a power fantasy. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyTEZzcUo3aVJnYXNpcVFKWlRuMXNGRjdWdWVfcER1WUlGcWJ4eFF1Wkd2aUhSTjA5eGk4dG1GSVN1OEFIQ1JVOS1aNnVfRVJtRjRpeUg1SkVIbm9JYWdwclFFUmZZUmpZT2NJaUFMbEpjdjQ9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5bi1weGNxWUt1bjB1U3BKeFdoWmZMTFdpcnRpdlNXX2pKU21mRzZVSVBIWjNKY1JCRWVpYW8wa1NoSUVUSGl2OUUyaF94S0VLaE1SQ0lWX0dMQzM2MEhCTFNHY29VSWQ0allUalZmU3RmelcxOGwyR2lNSjBfUkdoeEFkbmY2dXBHdHl6aFNBRmhVUWtBbEExSUYweFNJX2tELVdhbExwcjVEMDhqT0hQbWo4UnpkbE1LNXM1akFGbVNxcmdRSkVM |
That's not what I said. Han, for example, is definitely not a Sue type character despite having the same plot construct of helping to save the galaxy with Luke, but Luke hits almost all of the classic Mary Sue checklist points. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyQndXd2QyS09qYWt5d1ZsRDFYajc4QVlscVRDX3hQRjdXQmJBa3h4WVV5LU5tei1iUGk2SlZHek5YVTNLUDI4NjF2cEVwV1ZJTGJ4bURQX1BVM0xNMUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5bkc0QVlOWmkzcGlxS2U0YlVJenFWcWZXUnVJZ1BtQ2JUQzlMUE9iZWxfcmFHYVM3cThpTWRmQ1NLd3ExNXZLN3E4TElQdWcyU3BXSGp4UHkwa0EyNjdDXzN6QkhObXZrRVZrN3ZaMjJxbTI2U1JVZ0Q0UWJSaElHdzFfeHV5Tmp3WmFEVEVUUEJQQV9IU3hJLVlLVFVRcHNESkdVLUVFS1pSOEFpS0QzTHV0WDNsVTRxdE9tdWVSc2E3Mm9SMk1Y |

back to rFangirls. Her transcript on dances with dissonance is amazing. A must-read for everyone. I was actually heartened by all the allies even though it kinda sucked that it piled on into the educate bill show. but maybe it worked out because now it's less likely to happen in the after comments, the followups can be better?

I think intentions were good, people took criticism seriously, and for the most part followed through. There is a single person who is aggravating and did not take criticism well (and if you're a fan of his work you might be disappoint but the last link addresses this eloquently in the faq), but he was the exception and the amount of allies (men, women, other marginalized populations) that spoke up was positive.
Here's the panel if that helps your decision:
Bill Willingham (Fables), moderator and organizer
Gene Ha (Top Ten), panelist
Alina Pete (Weregeek), panelist
Jim Zub (Samurai Jack), panelist
Chris Roberson (iZombie), panelist
Delilah S. Dawson (Monkeybrain Comics, Hit), panelist
(If you want to hate the world, google Amy Poehler in the news today. WTF. I wanted to write something and then I had to stop.)

Okay, confession time: I'm forty years old and I've made up Mary Sue-ish OCs for every show I've ever fallen in love with right up to present day. Like when I was young, I had ridiculously elaborate fantasy female characters for TNG, Alien Nation, Babylon 5, DS9, and Due South, and that's just the 1990s. LOTR? Not only tenth walker (that's right, baby!), but thanks to the then-new RPF influence, fantasy girlfriend to Orlando Bloom too. Sure, all my Mary Sues were flawed and all-too-human (even when they were Elves and aliens) and none of them had purple eyes or apostrophes in their names, but all of them had superpowers (even if only “genius”), all were gorgeous with really spectacular hair, and all hooked up with my favorite character. In other words, nothing like the real me, but fantasy self-inserts just the same.
I've never written any of these down.
Honestly, I think Sue is an archetypal id trope, a power kink in which a female is the center of the narrative universe. And obviously a common one too, at least before girls grow up and learn that writing OC love interests is a big fanfic no-no and will indeed be shunned. The question is, *why* is it a no-no, when every other iddy trope under the sun is reveled in?
Couple of thoughts. One, Mary Sues tend to be very personal. My id is not your id, so the characteristics that make my Sue fun for me are likely to not be of particular importance to most readers. Two, if written as de facto POV character, their presence warps the other characters. This might annoy people who are really into canon compliance or at least characterization compliance. But it still doesn't explain why, for instance, there are hundreds of OOC woobie!Dean high school AUs out there, and in almost none of them does he sleep with an interesting girl, despite the fact that girls are likely writing most of these stories.
What I think has happened is cultural, a self-reinforcing cycle. Everyone knows you don't write your fantasy original characters as the primary love interest, although side characters are fine. Everyone knows that violating this rule can cost you readers, which can be confirmed empirically (see below). Canons with cool female characters tend to siphon off people who are attracted to strong female characters, and fic is written about them. The rule is not broken. In slash-land, awesome male characters are thick on the ground, and people learn to identify with them and project their fantasies onto them. Why write a story about a kick-ass female hunter that nobody's going to read, when you can write about Dean himself and get thousands of hits? The rule is not broken. When all else fails and an OOC story demands to be written, you can always go with the ATG (Any Two Guys) option. If it's well-crafted people will forgive your OOC-ness, so long as the beloved actors are “cast” in the story. (Looking at you, Twist and Shout.)
In my own writings I've done OFC/Canon Character five times. None of them were Sues that took over the story. Twice in a het fandom, twice in a slash fandom, once as femslash in a dudeslash fandom. Only the femslash one performed as expected (not very well, but femslash rarely does.) The other four received far fewer hits/kudos/reviews than they would have using the other half of the respective fandom OTP, but the slash fandom stories were especially disliked. I'm sort of tempted to write some original male characters in the het fandom as a test, because I do think pairing preference “matching” the fandom plays into it. People who like het are more tolerant of reading a generic het story, vice versa for slash.
I've told this story on reddit before, but once I got into a fantastic argument with someone over unconscious sexist characterization in slash vs het. So we decided on an experiment where I took one of my OFC/Canon male character stories then in progress (slash fandom), plugged in the OTP male character in place of the OFC with no changes to the story, and published both versions at the same time. NO effort was made to make the canon character sound or act like himself, I simply changed the pronouns and a bit of anatomy, and plugged in the actor's description. End result? Slash OTP story has three times the hits and four times the kudos, despite the fact that *plugging in the canon character made no sense.* Doesn't seem to matter, so long as the image is one that readers are already attached to.
Anyway, I'm conflating OFC and Mary Sues, and I think that's because they are conflated in fandom culture. When the only people writing OFCs are young inexperienced writers, it's easy to assume that any OFC you run across will be a badly written Sue, because it's often true enough. But it does make me sad that people's fantasies are being truncated and morphed into something else. That you can write the kinkiest shit imaginable, plug your male characters into ridiculous heteronormative female roles (thanks, omegaverse!), write your male canon characters doing the most outrageous wish-fulfilling stunts, but the latter with original female characters is somehow over the top.

Narrative heavy RPGs like [Apocalypse World](http://apocalypse-world.com/) (plus the [Monster of the Week](https://sites.google.com/site/gamesteratlarge/) hack), [Dread](http://www.tiltingatwindmills.net/games/dread/), and [Tactical Ops](http://unplayablegames.blogspot.com/2014/10/tactical-ops.html), as well as story games like [Microscope](http://www.lamemage.com/microscope/), [The Quiet Year](http://buriedwithoutceremony.com/the-quiet-year/), [Fiasco](http://www.bullypulpitgames.com/games/fiasco/), and [Downfall](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1488255788/downfall) have recently stolen my heart. To sort of make it clear: there's not a lot of dice rolling, winning, or generally improving your character in games like these - the premise is to construct a good story or overall piece of fiction. It's adult make-believe with some structure. It's **not** moving a guy around on a grid while min/maxing his equipment so you can get the most experience from the kobolds.
The problem is that a majority of my gaming friends that would be interested have moved away and/or live too far away to make a regular gaming group.
Anyone on the far North side interested in possibly setting up a more regular (1-2 times / month) group focused on story games and narrative heavy RPGs?

>Anyway, I'm conflating OFC and Mary Sues, and I think that's because they are conflated in fandom culture. When the only people writing OFCs are young inexperienced writers, it's easy to assume that any OFC you run across will be a badly written Sue, because it's often true enough. But it does make me sad that people's fantasies are being truncated and morphed into something else.

Okay, so Idk if I'm behind or something, but when I was drowning myself in Stucky feels on tumblr last night (SlytherinSarah.tumblr.com is anyone wants to add me), there was a bunch of stuff saying that Captain America Civil War was supposed to release some footage or a trailer recently, but they backed out or something? Decided not to post it until September or October? I haven't heard anything about promising a trailer in the immediate future and I keep close tabs on /r/marvelstudios.

You know I was looking through old clips of Elvis back in the 1950s and I heard girls screaming and fangirling when he performs on stage.

Some of Sinatra's original fans are still around

He doesn't quite get the recognition of just how big he was originally, because he was pre-rock, but he was maybe the first teen idol:
"1940–50: Sinatramania and early films[edit]
In May 1941, Sinatra was at the top of the male singer polls in Billboard and Down Beat magazines.[25] His appeal to bobby soxers, as teenage girls of that time were called, revealed a whole new audience for popular music, which had been recorded mainly for adults up to that time.[26]
On December 30, 1942, Sinatra made a "legendary opening" at the Paramount Theatre in New York. Jack Benny later said, "I thought the goddamned building was going to cave in. I never heard such a commotion ... All this for a fellow I never heard of." When Sinatra returned to the Paramount in October 1944, 35,000 fans caused a near riot outside the venue because they were not allowed in.[14]"

Since the sound mix issues for the PS3 port of Sumeragi are still unresolved, I've put Basara out of my mind for now and instead we are playing Xenoblade Chronicles with my friend. It's adorable, her excitement when it was announced for the WiiU eShop was palpable, and some 30 hours in, I can absolutely understand why. It's a JRPG with a large emphasis on exploration and anti-grinding with a combat system that feels intuitive and fluid without being too hands-off. There's *so much content* it's almost unbelievable, and despite the directing being kind of "eh?" a lot of times, I'm honestly enjoying the script *and* the performances. Plus, like... every character is soooooo painfully adorable. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyUU93cVgtOXFDT3lmZ0JtR1FFX1BSNVVSalZkZFlqTVlsNHNwbllMdTNkN0gzaW56ODQyRG44dzQtRndYQUZ1QkFCaGhVbHlub1RUU1EzVDl3ZUZBS0ZwU1BKTDgxRTVNWTNyc2FMUW9jNGs9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5TjUwQl9LbVlKVHRRTll0VkN4aFJjal9CS3ZZVVFnZWxvMm5uOGFFelVRbndtaTNQYlNwdjExcTVfcWczZ2JQa1djWkZjNVhHbDVUeHFTNFdRNDRrbjVYQXUzZ0pHQ2hKR3hHSC14eG5IanM3dUc0WHhYRS0xdzJhWWljcUhZdzhlYmVsaXhmLW8yQjhydWxKQktTUFBMSURBZ1hOVmFpVDFySmY2eHNVTEVUWTJXUktKdGtWOGFKaFBIekNKVnhZ |
If it's one character who always has a soft spot for the so-called Mary Sue, I can blame that character. But when everyone does it, when the universe itself seems to bend itself for her... it's about her. To be fair, it's not the Mary-Sue's fault; it's the writer's, but it's the aspect of a Mary Sue-haunted work I have the most. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-24 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyeDU5c0VuT0R6c1R0MVpISjEyQzNZa01Pd1lpSGpwMWhVbTVkWUtja01VSzlZelpTa3U4M3I2LXYwcEVVclZCekRhcGkxd3FTZFFNU1h0dlBYSkRyRGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5RWk3akFPS05nVGRLLTVEX1ItRnV5ZGQ4VDExNHRMNFF2OWZmc01vSlpxM2tYN0lXcHVYc1pXc2NpSTl3MlFqdTFpVkdPRTE3OE9aa0dBTllsazRmOXZ4SjJ0QWEyRDZsNzZBcDBmZmJQR0dkeXp2bHJzVVR4eURVQktnQjUxckQxZ0lLeTIzM19FMEwzSEJPajU2YllGNTJFdDFFM01Rd08zbTZkRllnYTVUdTk1UmY5VDJSSUVjbHA4bzlFLVdY |

>Welcome to Night Vale is a podcast presented as a radio show for the fictional town of Night Vale, reporting on the strange events that occur within it. The series was created in 2012 by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, and is published by Commonplace Books. Cecil Gershwin Palmer, the host, main character, and narrator, is voiced by Cecil Baldwin, while secondary characters are sometimes voiced by guest stars, such as Carlos, voiced by Dylan Marron. The podcast typically airs on the first and fifteenth of every month, and consists of "news, announcements and advertisements" from the desert town, located "somewhere in the Southwestern United States". In an interview with NPR, Joseph Fink said that he "came up with this idea of a town in that desert where all conspiracy theories were real, and we would just go from there with that understood."

Yes! I've been listening since near the beginning, and I love it!
>•Are there any elements to the show that you really adore or abhor? Share your thoughts!
This show does diversity effortlessly. Characters are of all kinds of ethnicities, sexual orientations, and species, and it's treated like no big deal. That's pretty cool to me.
>•Are there any elements to the fandom that you really adore or abhor? Share your thoughts!
You gotta see the fan art. It's incredible. I just wish people wouldn't argue so much about what Cecil looks like. They don't tell us for a reason, so he can look however you want.
>•Do you have an unpopular opinion on any aspect of this show or its fandom? What are they?
I like Steve Carlsberg.
>•Have you written any fan fiction, created any fan art, made any fan videos? We want to see those too!
I have! There's a Night Vale [square](http://imgur.com/UGRriuE) on my knitted blanket of Fandom.
>•Which is your favorite character and why? Who is your least favorite character and why?
It's hard to pick a favorite. But my top five are The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home, Tameka Flynn, Hiram McDaniel's violet head, Carlos, and Dana.

I've been loving Night Vale for awhile... I like it a lot more when it just focuses on the things that are happening around the town, rather than larger storylines. Like, as much as I like Desert Bluffs, I didn't really need the whole StrexCorp storyline, because it just kept on going and going and going...
I've seen them perform live once, and that was lovely, and we're going again in September, so I hope it's lovely again. I'm a bit sad that Mary Epworth isn't going to be the Weather in the September show, because I really do love her and I loved seeing her live.
Funnily enough, that's how I got my husband hooked on *Night Vale*. I was listening to it, and then he went "Hey, you listen to that Night Vale show, right? Mary Epworth is on it." I went "Mm-hmm, whatever, hon, one of your folky bands again" and then found the one she was on. And then he got hooked.
(That and the episode where Dengue Fever was the Weather. Because oh man, we *love* Dengue Fever. And it was "Hon, look, they love this band too! Give it a listen!")
In 2013, my husband and I did *Night Vale* themed Halloween costumes. He was Cecil, and I was an intern. We had ID badges and I had a "Night Vale Community Radio" t-shirt I designed myself - done in glow-in-the-dark vinyl (which is just *neat*). It didn't matter that no one got it, we knew we were awesome.
I suppose the only thing that concerns me about the fandom is the age of a lot of the fans. Like, they're all so *young*! And when I saw them live, there was a bit of a mixup about tickets with one of the ushers, and some of the fans were actually crying over how they were being told that their tickets weren't where they said they were.
It's just weird being part of a fandom that is so young. Most of the people I hang out with on Tumblr are older, so we tend to side-eye then ignore most of the screaming matches that occur, but it's when I'm at a con or at a live show and I suddenly realise "Holy shit, I'm surrounded by *babies*."
Also, oh my god, you do not need to scream for a full minute every time Cecil mentions Carlos or they talk about their relationship. Part of the sheer beauty of *Night Vale* is the fact that this entire relationship is normal and everyday and delightful, and, c'mon, love the relationship, but also let them actually get on with the plot.
Also - it's not a great idea to listen to a lot of *Night Vale* on a road trip. Cecil's voice is soooooooo soothing.

Oh, haha, I was going to post the video with my man JC, but I just looked at last week's and I already did it. Good think I checked.
edit: ALTHOUGH. He is coming out with two new movies all at once. [Grandma](https://www.google.com/search?q=lily+tomlin+grandma) with Lily Tomlin came out on Friday and has been getting rave reviews everywhere. Lily as a lesbian grandma trying to raise cash to pay for an abortion her granddaughter wants. and [Zipper](https://twitter.com/JohnTheCho/status/635932819139637248) with Patrick Wilson, Lena Headey, and Dianna Agron is coming out on Friday. Wow, one week of each other. I don't know if he can make the red carpet bc I think he's in the middle of Star Trek shooting. But I desperately want someone to check out these two movies and tell me how many [Cho-faces](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChoSen_Ones/comments/32590t/rating_system_for_john_chos_appearances_2009/) they deserve so I know whether I can wait for them to appear in my library collection or if I need to support the movies while they're in theatres.
edit2: Actually, I may need to find someone to go see Zipper with. Not only because two of my three fave topics of conversation are sex and boys (currently aka JC), but Zipper is also directed by a WoC: Ms. [Mora Stephens](http://blogs.indiewire.com/womenandhollywood/sundance-women-directors-meet-mora-stephens-zipper-20150126), an Irish-Korean-American woman. And I'm definitely interested in [supporting women directors](https://www.reddit.com/r/asianamerican/comments/3g3fcc/new_report_uncovers_staggering_inequality_for/ctvpkfv), especially WoC.
.
I was all excited about Patrick Stewart's AMA, I had my questions lined up the night before, prepared myself to sit at my computer at exactly 30 minutes before hand so I could refresh in case they posted early before answering... and at 60 minutes I saw someone say there were already 600 questions when they posted...
and I was on PACIFIC TIME, not EST. fml.
But then I realized that my main concern was that I'm bored of all the boring repeat questions, like, 'what's your favorite episode', and I already know those because even a regular fan knows those answers. Only newbs ask questions like that. And the AMA actually had pretty decent questions, or Stewart had enough decent questions to choose from and only answered those. So actually they didn't need my interesting questions, even though it sucked a little for me, but the objective was reached at any rate. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-25 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyTzN0RzJDZWQ2ZmVwOXI5RndxVkZJUElrV0FtclE0dzE0UGk4TG02cEdFN1VvY2hhWVJLWkpUbF9BQWEtRVRlQ3E5VzFvYk11OXV0OTNObEQ3N3lScmNpdmFpRW81R1h4N3NuLXk1SmRNbkE9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5TEJEQjJka051WW0yRFRhaFpuY3Eydjk4eEZmci1zbnR0YzdrSWVpU1Q1VVNyTVduN3pZUExvVXFwVUlOUVlwTjFaYkpNQlplTG44RWNZa0k5Yy1mMlUxbjVPWjVVeEFSek9BaDh0SDd2bzdvSWwzYk1lbU1GVG9qM2M4SngtU19NVnNSVEg2QmxYaGpOMVNGeDRJYVpfelRFcERvcDZQN0IzcC1TNjhNbTJOaWpnaUwwTy1ualkwTlRJcUxILTR0 |

What infuriates me with Lessig is he repeatedly keeps saying that Sanders "has no plan" after he's elected to change anything. Now Lessig inanely has been saying that Sanders won't govern after being elected.
That's complete, utter **BULLSHIT**. Lessig never mentions the grassroots dynamic with Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders has solid experience with motivating, growing and enabling grassroots movements.
Sanders has repeatedly said that he's not going to do anything **alone** after he's elected. Sanders will work symbiotically with our massive grassroots organizations, supporters and activists that are all across this nation to strategize, target and systematically unseat obstructionist Republicans and bluedog, establishment Democrats who are the **ROOT** of the problem in the first place. There's no getting around the fact that these people have to be unseated from office FIRST before anything else will happen.
These grassroots movements which are already having success as we speak will work symbiotically with Bernie Sanders to focus on voting out obstructionists in the midterms, etc. -- **That's the plan.**
Why does Lessig keep ignoring this? It seems like he's being purposefully obtuse due to his overinflated ego. | r/maydaypac | comment | r/MaydayPAC | 2015-08-26 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyTUhJOWY4bi1uNFhCTnRfRFR3SjBrZ2FKdmZhanRudUR5QjNkQXZ0T0VWVmFfYmxGVl9SMk84eWswNzcxaEhoVTVBMUVUckpIV1g0dkZoZVhfMW9rQkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5R0g4RFJsYmFJNTJiUjNqMmFVSXFfYVl1ZHJaYWdCa3k0QlFkTUtwSjBURzJQSjdEckZybEFfaGF6anRWUWg0SnNZbTJlZ2hzdlpVYnpaZDNrSmllT1V5bk5EQkpySU9NM2N2ODFHbkdXMUtVQ2k5X1NrZnpSazlUZlBUc0Y0RjJBMG53V05Kd1Npd0hyd0lNWXdYZUEzTUdNNDcwcjk0WkNaZEJHdnpHMUpZWXdFZF9FVnlKVWlXejBjZkJGbHR1QlA3S1AtU0hOekVleFRwM3UyX3BvQT09 |

I agree. Lessig claims it's not about his ego, but at the same time he repeatedly claims that Sanders doesn't have a plan to govern after he's elected. If Lessig would push his bloated ego aside and actually listen to Sanders, he'd know that Sanders **does** have a plan. Sanders plans to symbiotically work with massive grassroots organizations, supporters and activists all across the nation after he's elected. Anyway, Lessig need to read this:

Lessig, seriously open your ears instead of spouting platitudes.

Hi, we're Defined Mind, a new board and card game team from Chicago. We're looking for some word game fans to help playtest our fun and innovative take on a word game.
We're wrapping up a final prototype before we launch a Kickstarter and looking for feedback.
If you're an educator, parent or linguaphile of any sort that is interested in new games, we'd love to get in touch.
Also, if you have any ideas to find the right local audience, let us know.
Thanks, look forward to hearing from you,
[Defined Mind](http://www.definedmind.com/) | r/chicagogaming | post | r/ChicagoGaming | 2015-08-27 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyckVyNTcyZlNBYjhwXzBXcElGc3hOTEotQUQxYm8yWDlhX0RCQW5tcmI1U09nZldJSFJ4ZzdVX3VWT3F6Mlhabml0QTlJdFRVaThOeFNBX0NHYUdhLVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5Z0pwdXNWU3FNakRMNzRqWDRvQ0lGRlVOby1CdGJvYnJVVHRKSThTcWZFQ2F5SlMtVjdhTHg4RDNSaHBVTUdQYlpFNDM3Qm55VFFwSlQ4aVl3eHBvU0xGSlkxcWwtSWl1T213bkRGLVpMNWhLS2NqVXBLY0tGMFVUQS1NVjc3VGYyLVZyemVsdGg4dG1CdXBBdlhsenN0RGRtRC1tRWtiVVgyY0tZaHhSdk0tYl9CUDNIMzJpVkYyWTFmTWhudHF1cXo3ZWNLZU5xWFR6b1NkVGlXaHYxdz09 |
I was gifted recently a fabulous wallet,http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00VGO8ARY/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1440642611&sr=8-2&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=loungefly+boba&dpPl=1&dpID=41hFRvFI51L&ref=plSrch
The gifter has a birthday coming up and I want to get her something similar from one of her fandoms, some thing subtly nerdy or artistic, not necessarily a wallet, but some kind of accesory. She loves Dr. Who, the Labyrinth, Settlers of Catan, Zelda, Where the Wild Things Are, Buffy The Vampire Slayer.... any leads would be helpful.

Good morning, everyone. My name is Paladin and I do community outreach and staffing for IPlayGames! We mainly handle staffing for video game rooms for anime conventions throughout the Midwest, as well as logistic consulting. And our founder is a regular host on the locally hosted online gameshow, GUI(Gaming Under the Influence).
Currently, we are looking for volunteers to join the team to help bolster our numbers. Now while, at the moment, we are not able to offer much in the way of cash payment, in exchange for your time, we offer free hotel and badge for the convention work, as well as some food. Not to mention- it's a hell of a lot of fun.
These are the things we are ideally looking for in new members:
-Knowledge about multiple consoles and games
-Familiar with running tournaments and knowing rulsets
-somewhat flexible schedule
-above all else, being friendly and respectable.
If anyone is interested in talking more, feel free to PM me or check out our FB page. Hope to hear from you soon! | r/chicagogaming | post | r/ChicagoGaming | 2015-08-27 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyanZSVDk4RERZMnJDamhxb3FnLVdMaU9WbmdQSnNvZG1PQWt6R2M3MGpkRGlxdVNOeUNYNVY3NmoxR00tWWFDZnlGT05MRzl1UGotc25JOXAyX3pRTWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5eUR6UnBDN2IydVY3SWlsT2ljQWE1c1F0elRJQ1gtODVvRmZZdVZVRkN1X0pEVHBFOVlhX3FwbC1DQ3lXWldra0tpUEdVTWRZcGZFMUNycUZnUlg3eWRMWkFPTkZPQWZLcTh3M241dVJhdklKbjMzRU9pdElBV2EzbjN5Y01DOS1ZUlVtYUhteUVwR3pOS2xkbmlEVjVEWS1FRmNlNzNfLUVQRVRDVHFhbms0TGZqUVhwRXE0RWRYdkl2aUJsdGdJ |

I'm a huge fan of podcasts, especially ones that are audio dramas. When I first started listening, I thought that's what this was supposed to be. I wasn't sure what to think about it, but by the second episode I was hooked. All hail the mighty glow cloud.
Up until about a year ago, I had no idea that Welcome to Night Vale fanfiction existed. I found it completely by accident. I haven't read too much of it, because I've been preoccupied with other fandoms. However, I love pretty much anything with Cecil and Carlos.
I've never been to a live performance, but I bought the ones available on iTunes. I've enjoyed listening to them and I hope to see them live one day. I'm also looking forward to the book that's coming out. I'm going to buy the audio version, because Welcome to Night Vale isn't the same without Cecil's voice. :) | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-27 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoybXFzSHZtZDlTaHRMdG9feF9XaU1Ya1dMaW5LaDhHYWRBVDVSQU1ZWGxiYWRmVVl2TTJzNUw5MXZBZzhzN1BsTENKWVNFbmRZNGU3d0NPLWNHLWVKd0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5MEdpeFQzaGs3WkZFQ2NyVWE2WnlWeE9SV1cybFVMTkJlYUl6T0o5akRkcVlQelFXb3hWMEVmTGQ1REhVMmxhUndzYmtLb3JMLU5TSFI5OWRjclhOeUFfQXhwUVNOWXlXc1JzeGViNGN5amU4YWlfMzNMRk85dVZjNzVGamxoczl5Q3BGLTFQelVqbEhkRUNyYi1XMHhCeG1JVldyX1l3Zl9pWnFQYl9FajhaaWptTm1PN1J4eXZ6blBMSWdLSzZIVGNtS1dFNXFXSHNUVmNGR1RCN2ViZz09 |

I should get into more detail - sorry, I'm fighting a cold.
Etsy has a lot of nerds making awesome things. So, for example:
* [Doctor Who themed accessories](https://www.etsy.com/uk/search/accessories?q=doctor+who)
* [Labyrinth themed jewellery](https://www.etsy.com/uk/search/jewelry?q=labyrinth)
* [Settlers of Catan art and decor](https://www.etsy.com/uk/search/art-and-collectibles?q=settlers+of+catan)
* [Legend of Zelda clothing](https://www.etsy.com/uk/search/clothing?q=legend+of+zelda)
* [Buffy the Vampire Slayer tech accessories](https://www.etsy.com/uk/search/electronics-and-accessories?q=buffy+the+vampire+slayer)
And that's just stuff that ships to the UK.

I literally _just_ started watching Gintama because I am slow to these kinds of things, but it gave me a brainwave.
My regulars are One Piece (the Finnish translation), Fairy Tail and Toriko, but I never got into the OP anime because of quality issues and I'm some +30 episodes behind on Fairy Tail as well. As for stuff I've dropped, I watched Katekyo Hitman Reborn 'till something like episode 130, and I've seen the entire first Naruto anime, but Shippuuden never caught on with me. And like I said, I've also been getting into Gintama, but I'm not yet sure if I can call myself a fan.
So! Anime/manga long-runners! What are you a fan of? How long have you been a fan? Are you _still_ a fan? What about any ongoing series?

The longest running animes I’ve watched have been Inu Yasha and Naruto. I started watching Inu Yasha back in 03. However, I haven't had a chance to watch the last few seasons. It's also been a long time since I watched it, so I decided to go back and start from the beginning.
As for Naruto, I finished the first series and have started on Shipuden. I'm on episode 45, but I've been side tracked with other anime, so I'm not sure when I'll get around to finishing it. I'm still a fan of both of these shows, but I'm also not in a hurry to finish them. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyT1dlTGtrUkxXVEpXaTY2NXRsU29QVm0xU0FkV1JXcjd1TTNDM0dRSUpXc2s1TkFKTGJ1Z19EWE8tb2YtOUw0bmVaQ0p2M1p4MmVlc1ZCdk5lVHJ6cWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5RXhpdjY4bkMtUnJhVVpnclZyTF9JTldJNVlxeFlQbi01dFVneE9wTTNfMWZyaUtlczJnbEx5NVNnSVB3SHVUM3haN2k0RnpLcTNnYzFkMUFZQkFPVHdsMzlySk5xbWRoZU9aX21vQ3RYdkhCVHFMTGdSMG9JYmVMenhRZnNrMllYU3ZoQXR4ZC1WOGdoekZ3THc0NjhHRndLRDBQMXVYbFpmZTllX2t3QUxpTXdtQjE0NWhPLWJSOWM0VzhuajBX |
I don't really watch a lot of long anime. I like Shippuden but sometimes the filler gets to me. Waiting on Sailor Moon Crystal to announce it'll continue (hopefully it will), and I watch Uta no Prince Sama because sometimes you need some eye candy (fourth season coming soon). A friend told me I have to start watching Sword Art so that's next on my to watch list. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoySjFwM0hYRjlrVWRaQjkyNzlmWDhHdjROTU5FcHFoZzNzTEU2QmpIY2VNakVnY0FWa1FDMm1VZ1piaDlENkFrUGpDanprTjFPeXp1V3pKWDRrdXpTLVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5VVhNa2o4S21ScllkR3ZubDNKM3JTQ1hMcURwc25yWVNaS3ozdW5OVmV0a3FDbWNPc1pQcVlHYTk5a3d0Wnd1RnhqYzZKNnZ3R0J1X01rcDhGaVd1d1RGM2kzSlV5R0ZLelRhdW16N2o2Q1ZCNU4tMXN3WU11VDVGd2xtN1NNZlV3c1dNdG1wREQydmRXWURWMTM1RGFUWTZ2dWU4NzVKcU4tc0dJUzJEa2F6d2VSTlZ1QkpqTkx2WmpyaTQtUzMz |
Yeah, good luck with SAO. I've watched the first too seasons, but it got so offensively stupid after a certain point that I haven't picked it up again, especially when I could get the same Rule of Cool stuff without the grating elements from Lyrical Nanoha and Yu Yu Yu. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyUklQSjBzWGJEWjQ0ZXZEOG5xRUpDaUhJUDNBbldxeG12T19sNFNVRDlRaU1MMU5wTUdER3RrRjBnRVNUUTZ1TUN2YVZBdl9hN1dPb2s2WWhMeXd3MHRkUENRZjVoNHhUMXdiLU5CX2s4R0U9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5dVVpNEJBMnAxa182R09ZUjRpSkpqU045SEUtcGZGNUx3VHdqWG80WmFFY3ptSFZnMWxiTHRJd2ZuOG9LYm1oQ3lrejFIN0ZyQ1pYNXozTDZraGNDNUtEVWJWWWdBd0ZTN1BfVklrVGZDczZkaWpONnlfblVYd3g0dDF3OW90bUNQTWJGMTNCOHJDbnp3dWpIX05LcWFmVnRONjVtOHNXOWRqS3dpUXpFbERMaGVndWdHVk1hM0hKRGNPMXBNLW1P |
IDEK why Shippuuden never caught on with me, because I really enjoyed the first Naruto anime D: As for Inu-yasha, I've read the entire manga (because it also came out in Finnish), but I've never watched the anime. It has its good and its bad, but overall it left good memories. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyQl9HeThwZWZKZ3VyZTZyMVZTd3J2LVUyR01GX05WNXVQaHdJQVFYSVNENVJId2M5SVRxLV9yMVhmLWR4a2VFUW92XzllMm1aX25za1hTSlE5OGpLby1zYldZbXd2OFI2Uktha2o3T0J4S2M9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5R3ZqbHk3S09nLWZuSzNZOEF5STlGeFJzS3QxbkRrMWtvbjlSVDV1dXFtQi12SEhQM0pWd0pvaXJsRDRZQUNoOUVDNGU5dkJhY3pvZzdqRGNMLXZfeDhNeFQ0NHBBOWpfYUUtOVNjV002UWtsN25nTnNTZklWUUp4Q3VuV0x5Sk5iNGpJYmdGcmhfZmpfZWMzZDViSDFnZG1ldTBTVm45VEQ2WG9EVUttUHRYZGhUVWYxalF3aE1seVdXOWtoZ3hB |
The long running anime I follow with out fail is Detective Conan. My fiance and I are slowly going through One Piece, I watched some Naruto, but always hated Sasuke, making me quit, and Bleach got boring for me as well. I really need to catch up on Fairy Tale, and Toriko, and I wish Funimation would dub more Toriko. I also watched Dragonball and Dragonball Z, stopped during GT. Just saying, I prefer Dragonball over Z. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyUUJLbk9IMzZyX2RmNV83QUVWLXhjWk1QSGlHWDdUXzZSWVhJTldXQUl1SjBhV2hKZG5abUdoLTRtS3JLR3h3NmxmY2kxY2Y3a2JWUmdueVdLQUNsU0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5TnZWX0oydWM2blFyT3l1cGpVcFAzT3lJTjRXcWkwTUhleFRPY1ZCY01ITjFvOTFoSzlQZFNKVjRjZ0UxdC1MMnpjZkxQaTlWenpsZGJRbmRJQzBhX2NLanNIMFFlNFNwUmI0MHhCUEFYa3ZQOXBkWFMtZlRXTUxzanBpdXFWUy1Wa0lURjRjc0tFWVZSdjFobVpOeE14UUEtU04yM2lrX3JITHFQb2dpZWVYUlhpZ0VyZE05aHZLVWNVSnJVVXNq |
Me too, the original Dragon Ball was the first manga I ever read, and while Z was formative to me, I feel like DB as a whole has aged much better, and even Z I liked best when it was tournament arcs again.
I've read.... maybe twenty books of Detective Conan, but I never watched the anime. How do they compare? Also, good luck with One Piece, the manga is much better than the anime, but if you're into goofy-yet-sincere shit and stylish action, you're probably gonna like it just fine :D | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyYzFwNWVGbGtyR2FidUl4V2lkNUhLNEJ5ckpmcHVHX1ZCa19lNEMwNkFISXZtMmtQaUVWVWkzazFvdDlHaDV0bGo1NUtRQmRqazFUdlRON09yS2RPY1BYTDNTa1ZpMWxVYWNQZzFJQ29BVDQ9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5R1ozX0lxUWFZOVZ4RS14YVZJZzRrcDNMVHNsbWlnd3gtanJwdklHZHROQXVmeTJWZW9FRGdnOGRSZTUwSGNZOVpOSEZIX3M0NHZEQTN2SW5Cb3N3Mm5xVnREdGJ3TkZCcjNGRkF6OVMzb0tEdWE3RVV3Zk9qWE5HTnppeWVPcVctSFFsV0JobktUbUlrYkdTbnlPdHRVRUgwQzdpRkRjTlJTMkVXdmhETmxES294U0hpbUVzTzA0RkpqVVBhYXFq |
I've completely caught up with the DC manga, only actually in season 6 or 7 of the anime, and they add some cases, switch around others.
With Dragonball, I feel it was more fun than DBZ, we were just on an adventure, and the humans were still good fighters, and there were no aliens (I actually need to re-watch the Piccolo arc again to see if they called him a demon or actually id-ed him as an alien), and it was just fun.
One Piece is fun, and I'm getting around to reading the manga as well. I know the anime added some arcs, which is normal for a long running series. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoybmdSSmNGX2dISDNVS3BUQjE1SEMtOEVxSG5qdy1tcm9OYkhKLVY3REl3NjNvb0laTE9DclExbi1jcVBRdDUwdmJYMGYyUjk3U0R3RE93eDlNWVZZN3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5Y0drUm1FT096NXZTMU9FNEpJTWlHUVNJSFdEOWo4bW5UUy0yS0ZZZllEcjU5bUdfZmZoUDhTLWVPUS1LQnFXeHFDYW16eUhwSUJnQy1TaXgyVTJxMlZiX0I0Vk52RWFuaFlEc3RmQ3liQkdtal9VOHFxRThKbWNMa3R3Q296RVVfWDM5b1liZ2ZjVGJkcDVhX05Pdk51cEo0RzBiQmdGOW1wWXRIaDhocUxVbzJSX0RWWFpVRVEwR01MNjJ3N1Jw |
[Mpreg: The Movie](http://paternityleavefilm.com/#1) officially titled "Paternity Leave" Playing festivals now and on DVD and digital release Nov. 24.
I personally probably won't watch it as mpreg is a bit of squick for me, but given that mpreg is a fairly common fanfiction trope (genre? theme?) I thought I'd share. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-31 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyODBBaHZYc1pVLUtxdEJOSTBQNjUtblA1SkZiT0xmdENHa1R3cmpYcURwQzVKTjJxRFJ4bTRXVWNVUjRHeGdadjU2Qy1ZbGlOaEl0cGRZY1FBSnJrZkc2NHdIV2JMVERzdTF5WUcteFBfMXc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5clpKemZXd1E3NFkxU1k3NzNBR2FSbHRMdHBTZWx1aUtVRWlLV2QyUGxiMU9mUUlNSnBHZG0za2k4Y2JPNThYR3I3OHpMc1k5dlR6QkJFME1RNmMtU2VNeWZJcnRnbUl2aWJEMUhSVWswdWJVYi03S2VHd2ZoTVhWb1BicmhMbE5FWmhobG5TUXNEcHA5TkRUUGJCZ2ZCbGFCNHpuTmFnZjVQZmg4djdMM1FXXzRobzJLQUd1czFfQzFFM3d0QWFf |
One Piece is one of the few long running animes I feel does filler good, honestly :3 especially the earlier season filler are on par with the writing in the manga. (I get the sense that they probably collaborated with Oda when writing them, same as with the movies. The OP anime used to be super good, and then... well.) | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-08-31 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyUU1HcTl1a1g0cEVCUVpNeE1wRzdlcWhseEZ3ZGs5ejdZN1NIS3dMRWlwYTQyNF9CclVxZ2lNYkNFODlrQUtLWXN0bGc0bkRZSXItRkZ0M3BueU1rNUZla1NZU2VqQWZITzk1NzM5V0Y0Mnc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5LUt2OXo0alhlaEJ1YlRFWjlQbUVfNUwyNFN2WWhUVGJ5NEktRGFHV25scmtaNS16UDhEUDBaZ2g4NDNveGROUG9NR05KN18yMmxvWnlxdlZ5XzF3amdkSWZuekltR05oYTJNaE1wWkpFS2E1Q3pELVlmdFF3azRVbEZubHpfX0lxdHNlRG5taS15Zno2UWJ2bkJoX3dUWDliQ2dmQ0hTbXVvdjRXMTNHRnZsaGxCV0EyOWdPZDhmQmpiUGFKMXVI |
I would ask what you mean by "was" but I really don't want any spoilers.
