It was several hours after their review had been sent that they received a response.
"Guys, Myra's replying to our review!" exclaimed Aang. They gathered around the computer and the young Avatar read it aloud.
"What's wrong with you?? Nobody else has reviewed this story except one perso, and they loved it! Nobodys given me any sort of criticism yet so I think youre a flamer just like you were talking about you obviously haven't read the reviews like you said you had and why havent you given any examples of having read the story when you sai people sould to not be flamers and what kind of name is Order of Reviewers I know youre reviewing but youre not reviewing very nicely it should be the Order of the Flamers because youre just flaming not telling me anything except that I should listen to reviewers who dont exist You suck I dont have to listen to you so just go crawl into a hole and die you stupid hippo crites."
Everyone stared at Aang. Then they stared at the screen. Then back at Aang. Then at the screen. He had read it exactly correctly.
"Well... That didn't go over well," Sokka commented.
"I don't want to crawl into a hole and die," whimpered Zuko in the most OOC manner yet.
"What did she mean, there hadn't been any other reviews?" asked Katara, wrinkling her brow in confusion. "We got them from everyone else in the Order, and Suebasher sent them, didn't you? Suebasher?"
There was no reply. Their Sue bashing friend was gone.
"What could have happened to her?" panicked Appa. "Where could she have gone?"
"Could the Sues have taken her?" Toph mused. Everyone stared at her. "Like she said they did in the beginning," the Earthbender replied defensively. "She sent a note that the Sues had defeated her..."
"But then popped up saying she was being dramatic," Aang reminded his friend.
"If she said she was defeated but wasn't, that isn't over-dramatizing, that's outright lying," Iroh pointed out.
Momo suddenly jumped down onto the computer and brought up the transcript that was being written of their adventures. He scrolled to the top.
"Look at this," exclaimed the lemur. He began reading aloud a part of the story from before."
"They are," agreed SueBasher. "But there are people who fight them. You see them, all over the fanfiction site, writing anti-Sue stories, leaving reviews for Suethors, trying to steer them back to the right path. They are called The Order of the Reviewers.
"Of course, that's a bit of a misnomer. Not all of them review, and not all reviewers are in the Order. Some are flamers, some only give good reviews, some are just ordinary people. Nobody could think of a better name for them."
Momo re-read the important part there. "Not all of them review, and not all reviewers are in the Order. Some are flamers... Let me say that one more time. Some are flamers..."
"But that's not true!" exclaimed Aang.
"It's not?" asked Sokka sarcastically, looking at Zuko.
"He's a reformed flamer, he doesn't count," the Avatar retorted.
"Nice to know you care," snapped Zuko.
"The point is," Momo interrupted, "Why would Suebasher think that the Order was comprised partially of flamers? Flamer only succeed in getting rid of real writers and making the Sues stronger."
"Look at how much damage Zuko did just last time," agreed one of the random people. "I mean, if he hadn't flamed, then Myra wouldn't be a Sue."
Everyone stared at it. "What?"
"Oh, you know," replied the Random Person. "Zuko flamed beutyinthemoonlite whatever-her-name-was, she got taken over by Suebasher, decided to work on being a Suethor while in hiding, got a new account and corrupted awesomestbenderever whatever-her-name-was, got Suebasher out of the way, pretended to be Suebasher in order to redirect reviews... You guys really don't know this?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Wow," replied the Person. "This might be taking the plot holes a little too far. Oh, well."
And with that, the Person stole Toph's Banishing Wand and Banished itself. And that was the end of the Person.
In this story, anyway.
"What do we do?" wailed Toph.
"First of all," Appa suggested, "We stop you from being so OOC."
"Maybe it only affects idiots," teased Zuko.
Toph Earthbended him into a tree.
"Temperamental ones, too," replied the Firebender sagely.
"Toph makes a very good point," Katara pointed out. "What are we going to do?"
"First of all," Aang said. "We have to get rid of... You know what? Let's just call them by their Sue's names. We have to get rid of Belle, the last Sue, in order to reform Myra."
Everyone paused to glare at Zuko for inadvertently bringing Belle back. Then they returned to their normal discussion.
"How do we get rid of Belle?" asked Sokka worriedly.
"Can we call her again?" asked Iroh. "Like we did last time?"
"We don't know her new account name," Katara argued. "There's no way we could get a message to her."
"Wait..." began Zuko from up in the tree. "I thought she'd taken over Suebasher."
"She did, didn't she," mused Katara.
"So if we got a message to Suebasher, then Belle would intercept it?" asked Sokka.
"What should we say?" asked Toph, having missed their last adventure.
"Exactly what we said last time," Aang explained.
"Which was..."
Iroh moved over to the computer and opened up the transcript of their previous adventure, which he found through a plot hole.
"Hmm... where would it be... ah. It says we just reviewed."
"And she came?" asked Zuko.
"Looks like it."
They ignored the OOCness of this statement and went back to copying and pasting the reviews and sending them to Suebasher.
Several minutes later, the Sue appeared.
"OMG, u agin?" asked Belle.
"OMG, tats, like, totly wat i wuz gona sai!" exclaimed Zuko. They all stared at him in a slightly disturbed manner. Toph tapped him on the head with her wand. "Begone," she muttered. Zuko shook himself and returned to normal.
"What just happened?" he asked.
"You don't want to know," Sokka told him.
"Wats ur problm?" said Belle. "U r so meen," she said.
"The Sue is taking over this fanfic," Iroh otld them.
Now, let me write that as a non-Suethor would
"Wats ur problm?" questioned Belle. "U r so meen.
"The Sue is taking over the fanfic," Iroh warned the others.
Thank you.
"And 'u r' so Sue," Katara replied, OOC as she could get.
"But im not!" exclaimed Belle. "i swer, i m no su."
"You are one of the rare Sues who are written only to take over the fandom," Aang informed her.
"bu i dont wana tak ovr the fandum," Belle wailed.
"Well, then, don't be a Sue," Sokka retorted.
"Howe?"
"First of all," Zuko muttered, "Learn to spell."
Iroh pulled a spellchecker out of a plot hole and handed it to the Sue. As soon as she touched it, she began speaking normally.
"Secondly," Katara suggested, "Actually look like someone from this world." She pulled a magic square of looking like someone from the Avatar world, and Belle changed into a brown-eyed, brown-haired, normal-looking person.
"Next," Toph put in, "Act like a normal person." She touched her Banishing Wand to the Sue's forehead, and Belle started looking slightly sane, for once.
"And finally," Aang told her, "Don't make yourself better or more important than canon characters." A magic 'don't make yourself better or more important than canon characters' stick came out of a plot hole and wacked Belle. The numerous arrows and glowing things attracting attention to her disappeared.
"Wait," Sokka pointed out. "You forgot no falling in love with canons."
He tapped her with a 'no falling in love with canons' inanimate object, and Zuko stopped staring at her.
"And keeping facts straight," Iroh added.
He tapped her with an Avatar DVD, and she suddenly remembered everyone's names and histories, and stopped inventing them.
"That includes keeping characters in-character," Momo warned.
"Wow!" exclaimed Belle. "Being an OC is hard work!"
"Even harder when you're written by a Suethor," Appa pointed out.
"But all Original Characters really just want to be normal," Belle told them. "We don't want to be written as Sues."
"Go tell that to your Suethor," Aang suggested. "Maybe she'll listen to you."
"I think I will," Belle smiled. She turned to leave, but then stopped.
"Umm... would someone please open a plot hole for me?" she asked. "I'd like to go home now."
"My pleasure, young one," Iroh told her. He opened a plot hole and Belle stepped through. "Good luck!"
And with that, the ex-Sue was gone.
"Well, there's one Sue reformed," Katara sighed happily.
"I wonder what happened to Suebasher..." Toph mused.
Momo opened a plot hole and shook his head sadly. "She's gone," he said. "Still alive in her own world, but she won't be helping us at all any time soon."
Everyone stared at him.
"What now?" Zuko asked soberly.
"Now... we need more Reviewers to replace her," Aang said.
"Mind if I help?" Everyone started in surprise to see Toph offering her services. She smiled. "Hey, the Sues are getting on my nerves, too."
"And me," Appa suggested. "I'd like to be in the Order."
"And probably many of those who reviewed," offered Sokka.
Katara smiled. "We won't be without help."
Oath of the Order of the Reviewers
I hereby swear to reform all Sues,
banish all flamers,
and destroy all Suethors attempting to take over the fandom.
I will avoid writing a Sue myself,
and listen to what my reviewers say.
I will aid Sokka, Katara, Aang, Toph, Zuko, Momo, Appa and Iroh
in their attempts to protect their world from the Sues.
I will keep canon sacred, and clearly label all AUs.
This, I will do,
for the fandom, for the readers, and for the Avatarverse.
Yeah, okay, a little melodramatic. Couldn't help it. Anyway, sorry I didn't get this up for a long time, I meant to, but I had writer's block. Sorry. I plan to do one more in this sequence one day about reforming Sues. But for now, I'll stick with Because of this War and maybe the third Sing Along. Anyone excited for the finale coming out in about three days? I am. Okay, I'm rambling.
What I meant to say it, please review. Order members, uhmm.. not quite sure what you should do with the Oath. Just swear it mentally or whatever. And now you can put on your profile or reviews or whatever that you're in the Order. Horray for you. Yeah, well if anyone has any better ideas, please tell me so.
To everyone who reviewed the Sue's fic: As of 9:10 AM 11/29/06, I am no longer accepting reviews for the Suethor. If your review has gotten in before this time, it's in one of the previous chapters, probably the second for those who reviewed late. I also altered the formatting a bit so that the reviews are a bit more discernable from the actual chapter. Aren't you proud of me?
