Now, the question:
Why can't the ASMA, or AMSA? Shut the hell up and stop posting their non-fics?

Answer1:
They'll get more reviews for their non-fic then any other piece of crap that they have attempted to create.

Answer2:
They want fics to be written their own way! Of course! Now I see the light!
They move around these different catagories, preaching and intimidating others to write stuff that they want to see...not what the author enjoys writing...talk about dense!

Answer3:
They now have their own cliche, devoted to hating, and they feel like something similar to an elite of Nazis. But they know can't always bully an author by themselves! So they get others to back themselves up against...like Lunar what's-her-name and Nighteyes.

Now, the opinions:
Why do these people always describe their Mary-sues as bitches towards the end, when they write fics that bash her character? I thought that she was sweet and innocent...tsk tsk lunar-something (the one with the bashing fic). You need more writing experience.

slight interruption*
Hm...it seems like the AMSA seems offended by me calling them 'Nazis.'
I know that this term IS very offensive, when you look at the pain and suffering affiliated with the party...but for most of these Anti-Sue go-ers, they say "Death to all Mary Sues," which is no different from supporting Hitler's 'final solution' -except in the fact that no one gets hurt (physically) here...
*end of interruption*

I know a great deal of books who have 'Mary-Sue' characters, but are best sellers too.
To the AMSA, I say that ALL sorts of fics are good, and that they should at least let the writers write stories about .their own. favorite characters without being burned once one of you guys you see it.
One example (juuust in case someone tries to get smart) of a 'ms' book, that recieves great reviews from everyone and is even making a three part movie about it is, *sighs with admiration* Elizabeth Haydon's Rhapsody triliogy.
The heroine is a honey haired, green eyed Namer who attains power over almost anything with just her voice alone! She's tied to the element of ether/fire and had ran away from home, becoming a prostitute before starting her 1000+ year old journey.
She becomes the Lady of her people and the Queen of the Lirins (a race of beings similar to Tolkien's elves...but they're not exactly...elves).

Gah, I know most of you say that you're "so frickin' tired of this war," but by making a comment to one of the sides about your views (towards the ms character) AND the bickering itself, you feed the flames and keep us spewing shit about our opinions and it keeps the AMSA alive. Without an audience the AMSA would die. *gets hopeful*
Nahh...just kidding, the AMSA is composed of a group of very hard working and ardent authors too...it's just that they need a fixin' when it comes to this topic.
^_^

And the only reason why I won't give out my e-mail so easily is because I'm not THAT idiotic...what kind of person do you guys think I am!?

MORE COMMENTS:
Excquadeer Kadeer- No, if you're sane enough to know that time cannot be given back, then you already know the answer to your "question." *Imitates Dr Evil's quotation movements*
:P
And I'm sorry for you that you did not get a single laugh out of the LOTR fic, but that's just your problem then. Live with it.
