Canon Sue Report

I've reported Artha as a Canon Sue on livejournal.

Link: http://www.livejournal.com/community/canon...744.html#cutid1

It's a good community; they've nailed a lot of annoying characters from Drizzt to Pamela to the mother Mary-Sue of them all, Ayla.

Yes, I can see that.

GRRrrr

Sarah I've got a few bone's to pick with you

Well, I don't think that community allows anonymous posters. So check if it does; if it does then feel free to comment on said entry, and if it doesn't then pick the bone over here. Believe me, I'm quite open to disagreement.

Oh, and your bone's WHAT?

Quite a number of things

Anonymou posters aren't allowed on the community, so you'll just have to debate it here.

So, just what are your "number of things"? Please, spell them out. I'm sorry, but I can't read minds. I also have an interest in being right. So, if you think I'm wrong, then prove it and I'll accept it.

(I'll return tomorrow to debate further.)

Forget about it...


By the way, I'm not an anonyumus, It's Natasha, from the AL MB

This is where I get to say:

We don't know what happened to Connor Penn, although it seems obvious to me that he's Mortis. Parm returned from the stables and told Artha he had found nothing except the jacket (no body), and there hasn't been a body found yet. Connor isn't dead.

I don't care if you girls scrap, but keep it clean because I will replace all 'Evil Words' with floral garlands, and all personal attacks with streams of Purple Prose dedicated to Moordryd.

HEH

I wasn't able to tape those first two eps

did I just make a mistake in chalenging Sarah

Oh, I know who you are, Natasha. It's just that as far as I know you don't have a livejournal account, and thus if you have a problem with my Canon Sue entry you'll have to take it here.

By the way, I don't use naughty words on public messageboards unless I'm discussing something smut-related and have no choice. (Anyway, I think there might be an automatic censorship command in place.) Also, I don't give personal attacks. Unless extreme provocation is given (eg. I felt free to call someone who called me an "idot" an "imbecile" once, in a private email conversation. But enough about me).

To me, stating you have "a bone to pick with me" and then refusing to explain your opinion is an act of a coward. (Not a personal attack--merely an explanation of how a particular act appears to me.) Yes, you will always have a right to possess an opinion, but if you can't explain it then kindly refrain from talking about it on a messageboard forum intended for such debate. I'm quite willing to engage in friendly, impersonal debate--best kind, really--but to do that I'm afraid you'll have to be willing to defend your stance on Artha.

Re Connor, I think I explained the situation adequately in my lj post: his father's disappeared, and he doesn't look for him or even report it. A sixteen-year-old boy shouldn't be trying to look after his ten-year-old brother on his own, unless there is some truly pressing reason--and there doesn't appear to be, and in fact associating with Artha/Dragon Booster is actually going to lead Lance into danger. Not a good strategy, and very selfish. (Parm and Kitt, are, of course, legal in some parts of today's world and mature enough to make their own foolish decisions.)

"did I just make a mistake in chalenging Sarah"--Well, I'll assume you meant "challenging". As a self-inflated egoist I'd say 'yes,' but please please please don't take this as discouraging!

That is something that annoys me. Surely Artha must wonder what happened to his dad?
And shouldn't Parm have somewhere better to sleep than in the stable?

He probably stays there just to be closer to Artha. (sigh) Selfish little...

(Didn't see that ep, so I really have no idea what you're talking about. Anna says Parm does have a mom...)

Yes, apparently she's a teacher at the tech academy, and told him all about Old City and Dragon Priests.

Thanks.

I DID put down what I wanted to pick with you... but after LF's response I kinda felt like an idiot so I replaced the post with what's there now

Oh, LF doesn't mind friendly debate. Her objection was to personal insults and naughty words. But if you don't want to discuss it, that's fine. I'll just go on sporking Artha and we can all continue on our merry ways.

Just try not to poke him too much, I'm very fond of Dragon Booster and I'll bite if provoked

So? Go for it, girl. BITE! BITE in the only way you can on the Internet, with dazzling leaps of phrase and logic, with winds of metaphor and whirlwind wit, with deadly shards of Canon Evidence and fine-edged fragments of Subtext!

Defend your Artha, who I think is an irritating prick who should never have been Chosen in the first place by any sensible prophecy!

Because if you don't, I'm going to assume that:
1. You're unconvinced in your own opinions and thus won't debate them.
2. You're afraid of "losing" a debate.
3. A debate isn't within your mental (or other) capacities at present.

Yet, I think that 1 is false, 2 means you're underestimating yourself, and 3 is no doubt false! So go for it, later if not now!

And if you don't stop writing like that I won't be able to write anything

Again, please explain. If something regarding my writing style is offensive to you, tell me so I can remedy it, please. Not telepathic, sorry.

what you wrote had me in stitches

That's nice to know.

Your an intresting person Sarah

Its hard to know what your going to come out with next...

So, how come Sarah (Who I love very much in a completely straight and non-twisted way) is 'interesting', and I'm just crazy?

...........

*Sniff*

I didn't mean to upset you LF

You didn't!

Don't worry, I have sisters, I'm immune. And yes, I'm the weird one.

Your not weird... your my writing friend

Lol! I like weird!
