Lovesick

[albumsontheside]

Oh god, my beloved fandom has so many Sues it's unreal. Here's another of the worst offenders:

Story Or Series Title: Loveless?
Yes, I'm loveless. You're loveless. We're all emo, tortured souls here!
Fandom: Star Wars.
Culprit Author's Name: Katie Ladmoore (ff.net)

Full Name (plus titles if any): Emma Moonrunner, Jedi Padawan, bitch in heat Second

The part that really got me was "Master Yoga and the Jedi Panel". That made me feel very cold and empty.

[albumsontheside]

It made me feel sick. Master Yoga ... so glad she got rid of that, eh?

[aeryx]

Aye. I sat there, staring at the computer screen, thinking "Did... did she just do that...?"

And then I died inside.

But really, I feel more embarrassed for the author. It's so strange to see direct plagiarism like that.

[albumsontheside]

No, you know what the REALLY annoying thing is? NONE of the reviews she's got mentions this at all! They're all like "omg this is so gr8" and it's like NO!

Think we should give her a link to this? Just for a laugh?

[aeryx]

I dunno if it's allowed to link her here. That might be in bad taste. :P

And... Bah, I hate seeing good review for bad fanfiction. It's so very frustrating. I'm not saying I'm any professional critic, but I do know when things are ripped-off.

[albumsontheside]

I know! NOBODY CRITICISES ON FF.NET any more!! It's all "oh, I know you've written a total Sue-fic that involves Anakin abandoning Padmé and having an affair with Tarkin, but hey, it's GREAT." FUCK OFF, SUETHORS

[aeryx]

No, if you give concrit, you're stifling the author's creativity and forgetting that "OMG it's FANTASY! That means ANYTHING GOES!".

However, Anakin/Tarkin doesn't seem like a Suefic. :P Just... Odd. Now, if Tarkin gender-switched to become a beautiful woman with color-changing eyes, etc, we might have a problem on our hands.

[albumsontheside]

Oh you're right. Wait, hang on.

A present for you. Try reviewing it, my fellow partner in crime ;)

[aeryx]

Oh ho! Why, thank you! A review will be up within the hour, most likely.

[aeryx]

True to my word it's up with in the hour! However, it is of significantly lesser quality than I'd like. Not enough sporking. Anywho, hope I did it justice.

[tee_sama]

Maybe she deleted them? I remember there was this opinion back then when I still read fanfictions there.

[albumsontheside]

Nah, it's there, I did this review today :) And yeah, maybe all the flames she got were anon ... :S

[aeryx]

So there were reviews on there telling her it was a ripoff and she deleted them?

[maran_z]

Really? That line made me laugh myself silly. Then I remembered that this is the Suethor's second draft and sobered up right quick.
