X-Ray looked up and rolled his eyes under his thick glasses. "I can't believe all this fighting is going on over fan fiction."
Zig Zag stopped digging and nodded. "I know, it's really kind of silly if you think about it."
"This is a public writing forum and these people are trying to say they own it and everyone else should leave." Caveman added. "And more importantly, they think they own us."
The boys of D-tent had been discussing this all day. It was disturbing to them to watch everyone fighting over stupid things like this. What was wrong, after all, with people expressing their own creativity through writing? So what if they wanted to write about a girl coming to Camp Green Lake? It was a story that could be written in a million different and creative ways and what was wrong with all the Holes fans wanting to get in on the action and tell their story? None of the guys understood.
"Yea," Zero started, "Everyone says all the 'Mary-Sues' are the same, but have they read all of them?"
The guys shook their heads and Zero continued. "Everyone on this website has a unique style of writing and just because they're writing about a girl coming to Camp Green Lake, which in my opinion is a story just begging to be written, doesn't mean they're mindless airheads. In fact, I know one that is writing such a story who is studying creative writing in college. Do these protestors know everyone in person and know for a fact that they're all airheads?"
The guys shook their heads again and Zero nodded in satisfaction.
"And furthermore," Magnet spoke up, "Why do these people who are doing those anti Mary-Sue parodies thing they're doing something unique? I mean, now they're just as cliché as the Mary-Sues themselves!"
Everyone agreed loudly, and this comment spawned many more conversations.
Suddenly, Squid jabbed his shovel into the dirt and yelled, "And so what if they want to write about me? So what if they all think I'm hot? I AM HOT!"
All the guys cheered loudly and then it was Armpit's turn to step up on his soapbox. "Let's be realistic here. If a girl were to come here, you can't tell me we wouldn't all stare at her. We haven't seen a girl our age in months!"
Once again, the boys all agreed. Just as they were all getting back to their daily digging, a car drove up and the tall redhead that ran the place, known as the warden, stepped out of her car. Her cowboy boots crushed the dirt under her as she walked toward the D-tent boys. They all looked up at her with fear in their eyes but she smiled.
"The bottom line is, everyone here on this fan fiction site is a fan of the awesome book and movie 'Holes'. Everyone has just as much right to be here as everyone else. Writing is for everyone, not certain people who happened to find this site sooner than others. I think that if these protestors find a story they don't care for, they should just simply not read it instead of pitching a fit and stomping off to another board like a bunch of two year olds."
"Amen!" All the boys cheered together. And the Holes fan fiction board lived happily every after!J The End.
