Here are some Rants from The Plague
I know EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN! Here's some of my rants. Feel free to use them.
Why are 99.9 percent of all OC's in The Outsiders Section such HORRIBLE MARY-SUES and are SO OUT OF CHARACTER and SO NOT SET IN THE 60'S?
I mean seriously, girls BARELY wore pants at all except on the MOST CASUAL of occasions. They wouldn't even wear them to school or the movies! They wore sweaters and plaid skirts below their knees, Not low-riders and leather pants and mini-skirts and mid-drif tops or ANY of that stuff! EVER!
And they had nice, simple names like Jane or Sharun. Not Sage, or Blade, or Nickolai, or Willow. And girls NEVER let their hair grow down to their back like 100 percent of these OC's out here. Not unless they were hippies. Plus they all manage to have long black hair and peircing blue eyes. It's a wonder how you can tell any of them apart. And there weren't gothics and emo's and cutters and stuff like that. Totally unbelievable, and just the author trying to plug themselves into the story.
And I am so SICK OF THEM PAIRING THESE MARY-SUES WITH GREASERS! That is SO OUT OF CHARACTER! Ponyboy CLEARLY said that he liked girls who wore their hair decently, and their skirts a decent length, who didn't wear a lot of make-up, and didn't swear too much. He practically said that he didn't like greaser girls! So why would he like some greaser girl! Exactly. He wouldn't.
Johnny is SCARED OF HIS OWN SHADOW. He is shy! So why would he just all of a sudden walk up to some horrible excuse for an OC and say. "I love you" and just start making out? He wouldn't. Especially not when he just met her last week. Like most of these horrible stories.
Soda JUST got out of a relationship! He LOVED Sandy! He STILL WANTED TO MARRY HER EVEN THOUGH ANOTHER MAN GOT HER PREGNANT! (And if you didn't understand that after reading the story then you should just give up fanfiction.) He was going to ask her to MARRY HIM. Why if all of a sudden some Mary-Sue showed up, would he just forget about her and fall for her the instant he saw her? Answer: He wouldn't.
Darry barely has time for his own friends from working all the time to care for Soda and Ponyboy. So how could he have time for a decent relationship. The girl would probably be sick of him blowing her off for work or something. Again, totally unbelievable.
And most important of all. And listen closely. DALLY DOES NOT LOVE ANYTHING OR ANYONE. Clearly in the book, it said the ONLY THING HE EVER LOVED WAS JOHNNY. Now, apparently some of these authors have a problem with that so I'll say it again. THE ONLY THING DALLAS WINSTON EVER LOVED EVER WAS JOHNNY CADE. Not some Mary-Sue who just moved to Tulsa, not Soda's twin sister. Not Johnny's cousin. NO ONE ELSE. He had a burning hatred for Socs, and everything in life because it was so hard on him. So it is totally out of character to have any kind of Dally romace. It's disgusting.
Stories like these SUCK. And only aspiring Sue-thors like yourselves even bother reading past the girl's description because they already know what's next.
Shit like this puts good books like The Outsiders to complete and utter shame.

And one more of my own:
Why would a girl who JUST met one of the guys, suddenly LOVE him? Be attracted to, sure. Like a lot, sure. Have a crush on, sure. BUT NOT LOVE! LOVE is a STRONG emotion. You don't feel LOVE for someone after ONE DAY.
