DEBATE 101
I guess it's a debate here's what some people have said:

ok i totally dont think that JP would be upset, i mean, come'on. this is FAN
FICTION. fans are allowd to do whatever they want and JP knew that things like
this may happen. anyway i personally dont like slash, but it doesnt bother me.
some people may like to see other pairings other than Nudge/Iggy Max/Fang
Max/Iggy etc. Without Mary Sues then the fics wouldnt be more interesting then
JP's books already are. As for people reviewing slashes badly, they just dont
need to read it, much less review it saying that they 'hate slash'. I'm just
stating my opinion in this and MR fics will never get boring in my mind. I dont
care for MarySue's cuz they make the books others write more interesting. As for
people getting bored, then just dont read the site anymore! i for one am not
going against you having this membership, but the purpose of this site is for
FANS to post their stories that they wish to share with others. If you have a
problem with the site and how many fics are on it tha
t contain slash and MSs, then simply dont bother with this site anymore. Leave
the fans to do as they please woth their stories.

Hey! This is Dane Cook's Wife, I just changed my user name back to its original
ways. I kind of am too used to Step On Me to change it.
ANYWAY - ALL PEOPLE THAT HATE THIS STORY, PLEASE READ BOTH OF MY REVIEWS!
Okay, we need to keep this site realistic. THOUGH IT IS FanFICTION, I think JP
would be pissed if he saw what we were doing to Maximum Ride. See, I want there
to be a lot more stories for MR, but Slash is becoming a huge problem. I don't
think Max is going to fall for Nudge, I don't think Fang is going to exclaim
undenying love to Iggy - FANG IS THE DARK ONE! IGGY IS THE SMART ALLECKY ONE!
There is NO attraction there, I'm sorry to admit.
Mary Sues are also becoming a huge problem (Thanks to NeverGurl for sending me a
PM about what they are). Perfect characters don't exist. There are way too many
MR3's now, and there are STUPENDOUSLY TOO MANY flock-meets-flock stories, I
mean, if it's original, it makes sense. Fine w/ me. But if it's the same ol'
same ol' "There's a new flock that Max just randomly decides to take in" - ahh,
no. She's not going to just trust other experiments like that.
Please dont' hate my work because I'm making a stand here. If you don't like me,
you can still read my stories. If you disagree with me, that's fine - I just
want to be heard.
LOVE YAH GUYS,
Step On Me

No one forces you to read anything. Most people who write slash specify in their
description or at the very beggining of their story and who are you to say what
people can and cannot write. It is their choice and are you James Patterson? I
didn't think so! Like he cares what we write or think and if he did he could
make it so that we were not allowed to write fanfictions based on his work. You
are doing this because you only have power over your own stories and the reviews
you post. If you don't like a story then write a review like everybody else or
even better you could just not read the story. If you don't like the site then
stay off the site.

From: Myrah ( on the YES side )

YEA! Someone agrees with me! People shouldn't twist their plots up so much, it
just show that they either a) don't have a plan for where the story's going or
b) they don't know when to end a story. I don't have any OCs, so I definetly
don't have Mary Sues, (though there is a great danger of that happening in the
sequel I am planning, so I doing everything I can to prevent it.) I am slightly
giulty of changing Fang's personality in one of my stories... but hey 2 years
had went by, people change a LOT in two years. (I should know.)
Myrah wants to join!

Sorry if I did your little name wrong!
-------------------
I completely agree. There ARE way too many Mary Sues (could you send me a PM
specifying what they are? I know it's an OC, but I'm not entirely sure what it
is), and there ARE too many slash fics. HONESTLY, PEOPLE - IS FANG REALLY GOING
TO LOVE IGGY? Really think about it. FANG, of all people.
Plus, James Patterson would be VERY angry if we saw we were ruining his work
with this unrealistic stuff. I really agree with you, and I think it is
fantastic that you posted this. Thank you. I WANNA JOIN!
