You are always going to make them a little OOC in lemons or smut but not over the top. It is gag-influxing! |

I am currently taking donations, for Everton FC. I am afraid that our chairman has forgotten to cough up. So if you could hand me a penny and I will dance for you :P. I am the monkey and you hold the box, so be nice with that. I don't want to dance like that! Creative Insight | |

Agreed. They'd have to be OOC to hook up with an OC! (or a Sueified canon character! Ergh...) And your parody fics are hilarious, Ara! You can be forgiven for OOC-ness! (I had to make Legolas a bit OOC for my LOTR story so my OC would have a legit reason to hate his guts and got yelled at by a couple Leggie-obsessants, although everyone else thought my 'Aerin vs Legolas' plot was hilarious!) I have written 'T' rated stuff, but that rating was for language, violence/torture and suicide references. I don't write romance! (Granted, I am a sucker for reading cute romantic pairings, if the OC is well written and whatever, but I'll probably never write a romance. I like my torture and angst too much!) |

I put romance, tiny angst and torture into one story XD. I hate Mary Sues so much. There is one now in King Arthur and she spends close to five hundred words saying how beautiful and amazing her character is. Grr. I wrote a little lemon but I will only go to T. I am glad my sexual writing is much better than a year ago. |

I haven't entirely given up on OC fanfiction, but there is a lot of crap out there to sort through. Thanks, Xaja! I'm glad that the OOCness hasn't diminished the quality of my LotR nonsense! And I did love your Aerin v. Legolas plot! I laughed out loud at several points! :lol:
Was that Leona's dream? I try not to read anything sexual if I can help it, and I don't write that sort of stuff either because I personally don't think God's cool with that (besides which it's a little too squicky for my taste!). But I haven't given up on writing romance! I'm writing one now for Feanor and Nerdanel. And Leona's dream was really well-written, Rena.

Yeah, there are a few good OCs out there, and even a couple of fairly well-written Mary Sues that I like. But for the most part... *sighs* Work for us is never done! Haha, damn straight your OOC-ness is awesome! I'm glad you love the Aerin vs Legolas bickering and interaction I was originally gonna have it eventually become a Legomance, although I'm not thinking it's such a swell idea now (since there's only a million of those on FFN :S), so I think they might become decent friends by the time they hit Minas Tirith. (No, Aerin will not be hitting the Paths of the Dead. LOL)Hear ya loud and clear. Besides, a lot of the M-rated stuff I see in any fandom is slash, which as anyone who knows me knows I despise even worse than Mary Sues and Twilight. |

There's nothing wrong with Legomance - it's the Sue-pidity I object to. Blah. I don't think Legolas/Aerin is a bad idea, but hey, you're the author! Gah. Slash. *Twitch* I'd rather read Mary Sues than slash. |

Agreed! Completely! I haven't completely killed that idea yet! The poll I had up was pretty much split evenly between having a Legomance or not, so either way, I'm going to tick off some of my readers. :S Meh. *twitch* Does you hear me arguing?! |

If I may just interrupt this for a moment to scream at the top of my lungs: "BADFIC/TROLL ALERT!" http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5701190/1/In_the_forest |

*reads first paragraph and runs screaming into a wall* While Xaja is out for the count, Glorfindel has taken over the keyboard. Valar have mercy on his soul. Oh. Sweet. Eru. I gotta hand it to her, I didn't know Legolas could be spelt 'Lesgles', 'Legalas', or 'Losgolas'. And that's not including 'Aaragorn', 'Glimi', 'Gilmi', 'Gimlie', or 'Piipin'. *facepalms* And she named her Sue 'Sally the Siren'. Good luck to whoever takes this fic! |

I think I'll do it whilst I'm awaiting updates on Shikara - she's got five chapters but it doesn't look like she'll be updating any time soon. Nice review, btw! 'Losgolas' is the worst Legolas-mini I've ever seen!

I'm almost certain that this is a troll. Respectable Suethors/fangirls know how to spell the name of their lust object. |

Followed shortly by 'Lesgles'. *cradles new mini* Who's adopting these little guys? I dunno. I made the mistake of clicking on her other story for Les Miserables, and it's every bit as bad as her LOTR mangling, if not worse. (Seriously? A 'siren'? In Paris OR Mirkwood? At least, I think the Suethor set her fic in Mirkwood...) *headdesk* |

What?! Another troll? Oh great! *grumbles* I will have a look when I have enough spirits.
Yeah that was Leona's dream. I might write more later but not too much. Only as far as I went in that dream. I do not want to go any further. I like sexual scenes but they have to be amazing for me to like them. I prefer leaving most of it to the readers' imagination. *blushes* thank you Ara. I am glad you liked it. |

I'd read it, Rena, but I fear I would just get confused in a fandom that I know nothing of... And good luck reading it! |

I didn't know anything of the fandom when I read it either but it's a good story and now I know a little more because I watched the movie.
