Why Mary Sue Litmus Tests Suck
bitBlackmage replied to Harley Quinn hyenaholic's topic in Original Character Development
As I've said before Mary Sue tests are as shallow as the people that write them. They test traits, but they do not test reasons (whys and hows) behind the traits. Test: Your character has purple eyes? Sue. Writer: But--! Test: Sue. Writer: But (character A)'s eyes are like that because (logical reason X, Y and Z). Test: It's a damn Sue, so STFU bitch! =D -
I wouldn't exactly call it mpreg being as they don't exactly have physical/mental genders (probably just for looks), but it is certainly possibly for them to reproduce with out the All-Spark or Vector Sigma... if written well.

What is it with people and their fear of negative reviews?
bitBlackmage replied to a topic in Writers' Corner
On a site where you can barely get reviews at all... I'll take even flames damn it. -
Firstly, how did you put it together? Was the motherboard inside already? I know that I never put anything into the PCI slots (like ethernet cards or other things) until I have the harddrive and the OS setup. One by one things get added and installed cause I don't want to bog down my newborn comp... then again, it may have something to do with your power supply being bad or your CPU over clocking or something.

Is there an point where story content is not accepteble?
bitBlackmage replied to a topic in Legal Questions/Debates
Personally all rape and child-sex stories happen to be pure crap (shit, feces)—it's a bunch of trivialized crap. There is no no story that can change my mind either. They can write that shit all they want though--freedom of speech and all that crap. -
OCs... what do you think of them?
bitBlackmage replied to Saitochan's topic in Original Character Development
It depends on the story. For one story, two of my OCs' fates and past lives are tied into the canon character's fate and past life. One OC is aware of his past and makes sure (in an evil sick twisted way) that the canon character is educated on it. The other OC doesn't become aware of his role until he gets his hands on a banned book. In a way they are and aren't that big of a deal any more than the canon character and his canon friends, but often for story purposes I do have to focus on them or I can't move the story and basically explain to readers. -I will finish this thought later- -
Terry Pratchett diagnosed w/early onset Alzheimers
bitBlackmage replied to a topic in News/Current Events
Ah guys don't talk like he's gone! It makes me sad! Personal note: Alzheimer's is stealing my brother-in-law's grandmother... and people are fighting over her estate and money. It makes me mad. -
From the stories I hear... not really my cup of tea.

Some of the stuff that comes out of his mouth is borderline stupid and insensitive. -
Effeminate men may be cute to me, but I still like my men to be men.

Not me... all the crazy anime fans will makeme crazy.

Short and simple on why popular pairings suck: THEY MAKE IT HARD TO FIND OTHER PAIRINGS!!!1! But only if the writers of pop-pairings fail to put them in their designated spots.

Age need NOT apply. Seriously. Especially if you simply forget or are dyslexic or anything. It's not like people do it on purose.
-
Hmm... sometimes I do make simple mistakes like that. Often enough I'm not really paying attention (see: zoned out), but I usually go back and correct them when I notice them. I like when people tell me I messed up somewhere--it's likehaving an assistant. Here's another: When/win

I deleted a review that was a garbled and weird flame. Sorry, but I don't speak n00b. Another time a reviewer tried to tell me where to take the story--not your puppet. Sorry again.

Not only that but these litmus tests are as shallow as the Mary-Sues they claim to detect. They don't go into motivations or the whys.... my character is human with purple eyes (that's not normal), but the test doesn't know why that is, so that's a point on his Mary Sue record to the test.

Feh. I like rude.com better.... because the users get to be pornalicious. There's all kinds of porn there (except the illegal stuff) and NO viruses from where I stand (I don't even have an anti-virus program).

I think that the fact that a certain combination of demographics here HAD to be FORCED to give born citizens the same human and civil rights as themselves speaks volumes about our society.

I do not review often and when I do I tend to either give small concrit or empty the contents of my head which is a bad scene to behold.

Behold! My newest religion! Jizsm!

Number four and five! Damn I see it all the time on fan fiction sites and it annoys me!
-
Hell yeah. Of course I thought it'd be fun to take my stories and stuff in different directions, but why do that when I could let fans do it? People are going to interpret events and characters differently form me what I intended or didn't intend and differently from others. Characters grow and change--just like in real life.

I can't hate someone I haven't met and haven't had to spend time with. BUT he is doing some things that will come back to bite Americans on the ass.
