misscamOy so very vey
It’s the age of the anti-hero, and we are the pioneers.
THAT’S the real reason why we are allowed to write Mary Sues, and the rest of you aren’t. Because we are not only honest about our repulsive personality traits and physical appearance, but we REVEL in it. Our Mary Sues NEVER get the boy in the end. They have NO special abilities or talents, aside from any that we have in real life. They are not who we wish we were, they are who we ARE. And we are so fucking proud of ourselves, we are SO completely happy with being US, flaws and all, that we can stick an honest version of ourselves into the Resident Evil universe, and utterly get away with it, because if nothing else, we have the confidence to carry it off, and to say to the world “This is us. We’re not perfect, but if you don’t like it, you can suck my rocket”.
...
What the hell is this, the Sacred Social Purpose of Sues? Mary Sues: Vote now for the age of anti-heroes. Bring grovelling minion attitude cos dammit, we are SO great!
When the hell did fanfiction become the movement for Greater Acceptance of How Wonderful We Are anyway? Here I thought it was about playing around in established universe with established characters since we love those so much. Clearly, I am behind the times. I should have been writing 'The Wonderful Adventures of Cam' years ago. And possibly make a smut version wherein I did hot men. Cos I'm SO great. (And that was sarcasm, in case that failed to come across.)
And thus, a meme:
You're guest-starring in my Wonderful Adventures of Cam. Which fandom do we visit, what do we do, and if you're so inclined and perverted, who do we have a threesome with?
Bonus points of long paragraphs of clothing descriptions.
In other news:
US death toll in Iraq hits 2000
Bush's nominee for Supreme Court steps down
Norwegian King and Queen meets British Royals
Iran leaders call for Israel to "be wiped off the map", world not amused
