Revenge By The Cast

Chapter 6: OOC Continued

Disclaimer: This is just a mere parody. Any names and places mentioned that may actually exist are sheer coincidences. Also I do not own any of the characters in FullMetal Alchemist.

Author's Note (Answering Questions):

Will you please do a segment about all the different icky pairings? Like the people who pair Roy and Ed, Ed and Envy, and even the two Elric Brothers?

A: No, and I do not intend to. That is one line I'm not willing to cross. It's very easy to start wank online that way. There's no need for a shipwar right now. Just because you don't like a certain pairing doesn't mean other fans feel the same. Personally, I'm rather fond of all the different hetero, yaoi, and yuri pairings.

What is a Mary Sue?

A: (Jacked from Wikipedia)

Mary Sue (sometimes shortened to Sue) is a pejorative term for a fictional character who is portrayed in an idealized way and who is generally lacking in any truly noteworthy flaws (or having her flaws romanticized, as is sometimes the case with stories about characters with eating disorders, depression, or other psychological conditions). Characters labeled Mary Sues, as well as the stories they appear in, are generally seen as wish fulfillment fantasies on the part of the author.

My definition of "Mary Sue" when it comes to FMA fiction is fairly simple. Any original character who takes the spotlight away from the main cast, has special abilities/different race that does not fit in the canon universe, has the male/female characters' genitals in the palm of their hand (has siren-like abilities to make them instantly fall in love with them), can outdo any of the main characters in anything, and just makes people go "WTF?". Such examples for the FMA universe are: Characters who became a State Alchemist before they were twelve or even 18 (I've seen some who became one at 5), are an Ishbalan State Alchemist, have angelic/demonic/magical/psychic abilities, are an 8th Sin, seem to know everything that happened to Ed and Al before meeting them, have a past ten times worse than Ed and Al's, etc. The same also goes for Canon Characters who are heavily bastardized and out of character. As an example, a story where Envy becomes very fluffy and takes the spotlight away from ed and Al, flying on his magic carpet to defeat the bad guys and save the day. That can also be Mary Sue.

You make fun or original characters! You're mean!

A: I didn't tell you to read my fic. You made that choice on your own.

Did you really come across original Sins named Hate, Sorrow, Depression, Revenge, and Dyslexia?

A: I've come across all of those except Dyslexia. But I figured with all the New!Sins being thought up every day it was bound to happen sooner or later. The most common I've seen though are Hate (which actually counts as Wrath), Sorrow, Revenge, Murder, and Anger.

How many more chapters do you plan on writing, and would you like to use any of my ideas?

A: I'll keep writing this as long as there are issues in fanfiction to poke fun at. As for using your ideas, if I like them, sure I'll use them! (But I'll make sure to credit you).

Hopefully this should clear things up a bit. And now on with the parody!

Edward: "Hey guys I have an idea!"

Roy: "Really Ed? What is it?"

Edward: "You know how I was able to transmute the homunculi by showing them a piece of their original selves? Maybe it'll work the same on these things!"

Alphonse: "It's always worth a shot, Brother!"

Edward: -claps hands and smacks them on OOC!Winry. She wobbles a bit, bright light flashing around her, but nothing happens. -

Roy: "Damn it!"

Riza: "Roy! Try burning them!"

Roy: "I'll try!" –snaps his fingers, setting a flame flying towards OOC!Roy. OOC!Roy snaps his fingers as well, transmuting a wall of flames around himself. -

Winry: "Gah! They're smarter than they look!"

OOC!Roy: "Just because I'm out of character, doesn't mean I'm stupid!"

Riza: "Give me a shot!" –holds up her gun and blasts a round of bullets through OOC!Ed's head. Blood drips down but the wound heals itself. -

Edward: "What the hell ARE these things?"

OOC!Ed: "Quick Out Of Character Characters! Let us transmute ourselves together to become the Super Out of Character!"

-All of the OOCs join hands and a bright light surrounds them. When the light disappears they seem to have molded together like a transformer or a Gundam. –

OOC!Winry: "Attack!"

Roy: "Holy-" –dodges out of the way as a beam of fire is shot at him. -

Alphonse: "Brother! Do something!"

Edward: "I'm trying!" –glances around, then notices an antennae sticking out of the SOOC's rear end. He follows where it's pointing to with his eyes and sees a control room filled with young fangirls on a computer, controlling it with a joystick and giggling like fools. -

Edward: "I think I got it! Roy! Aim your flames at that control room up there!"

Roy: "Gotcha!" –snaps his fingers, sending a blast of fire at the control room. The control room bursts into flames, the fangirls screaming and crying about how Roy didn't love them anymore and how nobody appreciates their talent-filled stories involving drunk parties and OOC characters. -

-The SOOC collapses to the ground and melts into a puddle of goo. -

Winry: "Whoa! I'm glad that's over!"

Alphonse: "Yeah, me too…."

Riza: "Let's just hope we never run into anything like that in canon."

Edward: "So, back to plotting the demise of all those Mary Sues?"

Everyone else: "You bet!"
