  1. Having a serious dilemma over an OC in my FFVIII fanfic. :unsure:

    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?

  2. 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. :rolleyes: Whoops!

  3. Updated 01/10/11!!!

  4. This will be the first fanfic I'm actually pushing myself to complete. I started it back in 2002, then when I grew up a little,

    it resurfaced and I jumped back into it. (I won't bore you with details, there's more in my profile about this. I ramble a LOT)

    I've decided to gather some gusto and post the prologue/first chapter on AFF.

    Title:

    Legacy

  5. *quietly walks in and smiles* Hi there, first poster here.

    My avatar? For me, a song will inspire me to write, but visual imagery helps me brainstorm. As I'm working on a picture, it gets me wondering why this person is smiling, why the background is dark, why they are in love, etc etc. This is one of the 'brainstorm' photos I used for the fanfic that urged me to join this site (same goes for my signature.) I thought it was fitting, plus the people in it are decent eye candy. :P
