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!

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. :D 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 :D 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:

*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! :P

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*

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. :D
