AboutWe've all seen them, the Mary Sues of Warcraft.
You're looking for fanfic through some archive like the Pit of Shrews. What you find is some monstrosity featuring the Daughter of Jaina and Malfurion who is the greatest mage ever, has redeemed Arthas and is able to single-handedly destroy the entire legion herself.
There you are, walking through Stormwind or Orgrimmar, checking out the FlagRSPs of passing people. Next thing you know, you're confronted by a wall of text describing someone’s extravagant beauty, their three distinct scars and the gigantic wings sprouting from their back.
You've seen them all - the incredibly self-promoting, the lore-crushing, the mind-blowingly pretentious and their ilk. And now you have a place to discuss them.
Warcraftsues is a place for Warcraft and World of Warcraft fans to find and post terrible fanfics and character biographies, then subject them to mocking review and laughter. Think of it as a form of Fandom Vent - You have a chance to let off steam at the things that the fanboys (and fangirls) do in a friendly, mocking manner.
This is not about flaming or attacking those writers, but more of, shall we say, discussing what they do. Nor is it for attacking players on the basis of their race/class/allegiance choices. (I play a Night Elf Hunter with a Cat. I'm used to being treated as the scum of the earth) Its not the character that matters, after all. It's what you do with it.
For in-game characters, please do not flame or attack the players in-game; if its really an issue and you can't stand them, then by all means, whisper them and maybe discretely explain what's the problem with their character and/or background. Do not use it as an excuse to flame, harras or abuse other players. Remembe,r in the end, its the character we go after, not the person behind them. We all just want to play nice here.
Be warned! Content may be very, very painful and cause brain-melting, screaming, doom and Stuff. It may contain slash, OOC-ness, lore-crushing, bad romance, improbable parings and the like.
Please do not post entire fics or character biographies - links are fine. For FlagRSP descriptions, a screenshot of the description in question will suffice.
For posting Fanfic sues (As opposed to FlagRSP or RP character bio ones), you can also use the following, sue-sporking standardised template.
Title: (Fic title and link here)
Author: (Author’s name, that is)
Name: (The Sue's name)
Species: (Human, Night Elf, Troll, freaky and brain-searing hybrid, etc)
Hair: (Freakish colors and all)
Eyes: (Or “luminous orbs” if you must)
Canon Connections: (Are they connected/related to any Canon Warcraft characters, such as siblings, children, lovers, etc)
Special Abilities: (Beyond the norm, I mean)
Poessions: (Anyhting they have on them of note)
Origin: (Where do they come from)
Notes: (Anything else worth noting, or not)
Excerpts: (A sample of the Horror, but behind an LJ-cut, please)
If your fic or character is up here and you don't want it to, please ask the Community manager to delort the post, rather then flaming or attacking them on-board. We just want to get along here, okay?
