*is peeved* I cannot believe the number of outright Mary Sues at FanFiction.Net. Most of the summaries are like, "abused elf......can she find love again??? legomance," and yet they have hundreds (literally, hundreds) of reviews. I don't understand the attraction! I've read some of them, and with the exception of a rare few, they're not that good.
Now, what mystifies me is that all four parts of my story, which is a ridiculously blasphemous Mary Sue (Eowyn/Eomer's sibling, great warrior, angsty!past, etc.) don't even have a total of one hundred reviews. I know I'm being ungrateful, but at least my story's properly edited and has decent grammar. Whereas the pieces of shit that I see at FanFiction.Net, stuff that I could clean a toilet with, are all getting hundreds of reviews!
WTF. I do not see how a poorly-written Mary Sue can be considered in the least bit attractive.
...
Yeah, that was an unnecessarily bitchy post, and probably made me seem like a whining brat. I really do love the reviews I get, because most people take the time to write more than a sentence or two. At the same time, though, I can't help but be jealous that other stories (ones that have horrible spelling and grammar, no less) have such a huge fanbase. It starts to make me wonder if my fanfic is boring or too slow-moving or something.
*sighs* Now I'm just dejected.
