I am now going to do Waverly Week where all the fanfics are crossovers with Wizards of Waverly place. That also said, an anonymous minion suggested that I do New Generation weeks, each week focusing on a character from Harry's kids generations. Before I did the first week, I wanted to ask the minions which kid they think should be done first.

Shocking. Usually most people in the Wizards fandom change Alex or Justin's DNA, so they can ship them. The worst part is I've seen some that don't bother. This time they changed her DNA because....?
And what is the story here? Did Dumbledore do it with Alex's mom, or some other Hispanic woman? If the former, how did that happen since Alex's mom is MARRIED to another man, and it has been shown in the show that they love each other. If the latter, who, and what's the story? I'm sorry, but this makes me curious.

And hi, paragraph breaks! Mind using them, please? My eyes kind of hurt when I read big text-blocks of doom.

The only incest and pedo stories I read are the ones that the writer is focused on the dynamics of having such a taboo relationship rather then actually supporting said ships. That also said, I don't see Justin/Alex working out even if the writer was exploring world issues in their story simply because I've seen enough of the show to know that Alex and Justin do not get along well and it isn't an issue of "opposites attract".

I was thinking... so Dumbledore has a kink for Latino women or something? And yet we all know that Rowling declared that he's gay. That aside, Alex should honestly be his great-grand daughter age wise. That would actually make more sense DNA wise because the family could be related to Dumbledore and his brother at that kind of level and it would make for an interesting fanfic. But considering some of the other mistakes the Suethor made, chances are we won't get this kind of story from them.

...Suethor shares my birthday.

[meepalicious]

February 31st? That's completely precious.

[turtle_yurippe]

I totally missed that because of all the other atrocities going on!

[bookgrrrl2006]

it's hard to read anything with those giant, run-on sentences, but perhaps in the wizarding world there are more days in the good ol' month of february? i want to hope that the author was just trying to be funny, but somehow I doubt it.

Is this the suethor's way of getting Ron out of the story? Making him be born on a day that doesn't exist so technically he's never born at all?

That said, I do wish JK had picked a different birthday for Hermione though. There's a notion that kids born in September and October generally do better at school than kids born in July and August, and I would have liked it if Hermione went completely against that.

[turtle_yurippe]

Why would kids born in September and October do better in school?

[indigoneutrino]

Because the school term starts in September, which means that when kids first start school at around four or five, the ones who were born in September are almost a full year older than the ones born in August, which can make a lot of difference at that age. The way classes are taught can sometimes mean that the kids who are seen to be doing better get pushed harder by the teachers and so get more attention than the younger kids who are less developed, and if that happens the difference in grades between kids born in September and those born in June and July can get bigger as they progress through school.

We did a study on it in my stats class which showed that generally this actually is the case, although ironically that stats class was made up of the top 5% in the year, a third of whom were June/July/August babies and only a fifth were born in September or October.

[hotaruofkonoha]

I had no idea about that statistic, and it's quite possible that Rowling didn't either. Hermione is a smart girl who just happens to have been born in September.

God, this completely ticks me off. If you don't have a plot to a story, why the hell do you write it at all!? To hook your OC up with your favorite character? Can people honestly be that shallow??

-remembers that I am currently writing a story in which I have no idea what the plot it, purely so I can hook up the Joker with my OC-

-shuts up-

There is nothing wrong with a little bit of wish fulfillment when it comes to writing. There is also nothing wrong with writing a Mary Sue either. I think it is important though to realize you are doing it and realize it isn't the best writing then to think that there is no need for a plot to make a good story. Even well written slice-of-life has beginning, middle and ends to each part.

[wild_jokers]

-shrugs- I dunno, I skulked around the Pit of Voles for ages before I actually scrapped up the nerve to post something, and I always saw writers getting clubbed over the head for writing Wish-Fulfillment stories and Mary Sues. Actually, it happened a lot in the Lord of the Rings fandom - the cliched "Girl Falls Into Middle Earth and Winds Up With Legolas" thing had a lot of people ticked.

Naturally, after seeing people struggle with their stories and eventually give up on them due to the overwhelming cry of flamers and unhappy viewers, I just had an aversion to Mary Sues and Wish Fulfillments in general.

Then again, I am still writing that Dark Knight story...-sigh-

I understand how you feel this way. My first introduction to the term Mary Sue was for a fanfic I was reading where Legolas finds a dying slave woman and rescues her baby. The fic was supposed to be about seeing to the child's future well fare until she grew up, which would have been before Legolas sailed possibly. This doesn't sound like a Mary Sue fic, right? Well... that didn't stop someone from accusing the person of writing a Mary Sue and telling the writer of the fanfic they couldn't use an expansionary book which I know for a fact didn't contradict any of Tolkien's canon but instead added to it simply because it wasn't his official book

Alex is at Privet Drive with McGonagal and she hands McGonagal a microphone so the woman can sing “Who Says” by Selena Gomez”

What? Seriously, just WHAT? Trying to imagine that one scene alone almost made my brain burst.
