![]() Author has written 7 stories for Heroes, Supernatural, Once Upon a Time, iZombie, Captain America, Vampire Diaries, and Avengers. Hi I'm Pixie and I'm an actual Disney villain. I use they/them pronouns, please and thank. I unironically love fairy tales, superheroes, vampires, Disney movies, world religion, and memes. I'm emo trash, I'm very very bisexual, and I'm Slytherin af. I have a lot of fandoms, but currently my main ones are DC, Marvel, Star Wars, Once Upon a Time, and Twilight. I write and read mostly OC-centric fanfic, fight me about it. I have a couple blogs dedicated to my OCs (see: links) where I post headcanons, manips, oneshots and other stuff that makes me think of them. This is actually my second ff account. The first one is here. The reason I moved accounts isn't a long story so much as it is a stupid one, but either way it's probably for the best. I've grown a lot as a writer and as a person and I need a fresh start. I love talking to readers and to fellow writers so please don’t hesitate to message me! WARNING: This account is pro-OC, pro-sisfic, pro-OC/CC, and yes, pro-Mary Sue. By which I mean: I love the characters that are called Mary-Sues, and I hate the concept that is used to mock those characters. The concept of the Mary-Sue is so harmful honestly, for so many reasons. Someday I’m going to write a long, comprehensive essay on why the concept is shit but here’s the short version: It’s used for sexist purposes (female characters are the subject of this criticism WAY more often than male characters are; people can’t even decide on a single term for a male Mary-Sue. Is it Gary-Stu or Marty-Stu? No one knows because it’s considered such a non issue.) It’s also used in a really mean-spirited way. People create entire blogs just to mock other people’s OCs and do so under the guise of “constructive criticism” in some kind of motte-and-bailey BS. Not only that, but it’s also very often used by adults to mock the creative endeavors of young writers who are just starting out, and I’m really not chill with that. Even when used with the best of intentions, it has little to no value in concrit because of its broad definition. Everyone has their own idea of what a Mary-Sue is. You can tell someone, very nicely, “Hey, I think your character might be a Mary-Sue, maybe you could work on that” and be referring to a certain set of traits. And the writer might read it and it’ll call to mind an entirely different set of traits, which may or may not enough apply to the character in question. The Mary-Sue focuses almost entirely on what not to do instead of what you should do. It tells you all the things to avoid but doesn’t tell you why or what to do instead so you’re stuck in this fucking obstacle course trying to avoid making any of these completely arbitrary “mistakes.” It’s exhausting and demoralizing (it sucks having every idea you’re excited about be batted down one after the other) and it sucks the fun out of writing. If there’s a character who you think is poorly written, unpack that thought and tell me why. If you do that, you have no need to use the term Mary-Sue. And if a character rubs you the wrong way and the best you can come up with to verbalize why is “she’s a Mary-Sue” then quite frankly I don’t think you’re in any place to critique anyone’s writing. These are but a few of the reasons I hate this garbage concept and why I’ve reclaimed it for myself. I’m a Suethor, my OCs are Mary-Sues, I love Mary-Sue fanfic, fight me about it. My Writing Like I said, I write mostly OC centric fanfic, although I do have a few ideas for non-OC fic (mostly one or twoshots.) I also enjoy crackships, crossovers, and really minor characters/one-ep wonders that leave a lot of characterization up to the imagination. (See: Adam Milligan, Emma Winchester, Missy Bender.) My preferred POV is first person limited. I go back and forth between whether I like present tense or past tense better, but I generally try to choose the part that is best for the story. My chapters tend to be short; I like to break up the content into smaller chapters because it means I can update faster, it’s less exclusionary to adhd/dyslexic readers, and it’s just easier for me as a writer with adhd. I’m addicted to making AUs of my own stories and I have a tendency to break stories into series when they really don’t need to be. (This is mostly because of my adhd, again--I love organizing things into parts--and because I also love cliffhangers and nomenclature). Supernatural isn’t my main fandom anymore, but I still like writing for it because I enjoy episodic storytelling, monster of the week stuff. Small plots that turn into big ones. I love that. I also tend to incorporate fairy-tale and/or religious symbolism. If I ever do make it to college, I’d like to study folklore. It’s just a special interest. Also Gail Carson Levine writes fairy-tales, and she’s been a formative influence in my life as a writer. Like I said, I’m very adhd so updates tend to take longer than I’d like. Lastly, the stories under the WIP section are FAR from the only stories that I am working on. You can find a full list of my OCs on my tumblr (comealongpixie.) These are just the ones that I’m focusing the most on. Stories That Are In Progress String Theory

Stories That Are On Hiatus and/or Abandoned Neurosis: I would love to finish this story eventually but I’m just not confident enough in my ability to write non-OC fic to go back to it yet. My computer also crashed shortly after I published it, and I lost all my notes on the story, and I’ve still yet to recover my files, and I have very little memory of where I planned to go with the story. Grace Under Pressure: I wrote a longer note about this in the a/n of the last chapter, and even longer one on my Jace Winchester blog, but the gist is that I’m not happy with what I’ve written so far and I wasn’t enjoying writing the story anymore, so I’ll be rewriting it under the name Smoke and Mirrors.
