  1. Having a serious dilemma over an OC in my FFVIII fanfic. A reader I've been talking with is constantly questioning one of the OC's motives among other things. If I post this next chapter as is, I'm almost positive they're going to message me and scream the dreaded "WTF MARY SUE!!!" that I'm trying to prevent. I know it's just one reader out of however many who read it, but I want to get some opinions before I post. Hopefully this will help me out and give me a general perspective so I can move onto the next chapter. So this is the part in the story when it's revealed that an OC possesses a power to heal others. It doesn't always work. When it does this power drains the OC and (very seldom) transfers memories to the person they are healing. This includes fragments of memories of other people they've healed in the past. To progress the storyline, one of the characters has been embedded with these memories. I had decided to make this significant to the storyline because Ellone from the game had the ability to see the past. It was never explained fully, so it left it open to interpretation. She wasn't a sorceress, nor was she junctioned with any type of magic, so it's probable that other people in the FFVIII world would possess powers as well. My biggest issue is that a big red flag for OC's is when they have the ability to heal. The only justifying to it is that It's significant to the story, not like OC is going off saying "Oh em gee, you're injured! I'm perfect at everything so let me heal you!" (Make sense?) What I want to know is the opinion of anybody who stumbles across this thread can help me out. Since the ability has already been used in previous chapters and this is basically where they have a 'sit down and talk about it,' moment, what's the best way to approach it?

      Shush SK, when summer comes you will not see Bronx or I complaining about the heat AT all!

      When summer comes, I will be complaining about the 3 months of 100F+ weather, and missing the constant rain.

      I'll be sitting poolside, posting status updates on my gleeful tanning efforts! :lol:

  3. Was reading a fan-fic from like 6 years back. I was starting to really get into it, story was great, characters were good -- sex scenes were hot until the writer referenced breasts as "dirty pillows." Suddenly, I thought of the movie Carrie and had to move on. *sigh*

      That's odd... I kinda get the pillow part but why dirty pillows??

  4. Dear phone, I understand that you are at low battery power, but I just cannot bring myself to get up and actually do something about it at this time. You'll just have to sit there and wait quietly.

  5. This isn't story related but it's hilarious. I was a 911 dispatcher a few years back and when you take a call, you need to send out a description of a suspect or contact, etc. to the police in the area. I type fast already, and at the end of each line you had to hit enter, regardless of typos. *shrug* This is a watered down version of the line that I sent to the officers in the corresponding beat: white male/30s/grn eye/brn buzzcunt Recently I was writing during a rather late night/early morning -- the quote was something like "It was something he had to get sued to..." instead of used. Another was " You sound like you're chewing cocks!" Instead of rocks. Whoops!

  8. I got all warm and giggly inside when I saw that two members on FanFiction.net added my story to their favorites lists. New to the fanfiction community, I feel good. (read: spazztic).

  9. So... random thought... is it considered obsessive to make an image for your story?

      I think it helps to visually draw readers to the stories--if done right of course. I wish I had a tablet. I'd be illustrating every page of my story haha!

      Now you can summon more! By the gallon if you so wish to!

  12. It's like sex. The first time you upload a story/chapter it's scary. You don't really know what you're doing and you're wandering into uncharted territory by doing so. After you do it a couple more times, you're getting the hang of it, it's all good and after that? It's smoooooooth sailing. (I really need to get some sleep...)
