Proud supporter of Mary Sue, Gary Stu, and OC! Thank you to everyone who writes about them! You enrich the world of fanfiction immeasurably. Please feel free to copy the above statement or anything similar into your own profile, and invite others to copy it too. I'd love to see it spread! The adorable, smiling musician in my author bio picture is an Orc from the Warner Brothers / Rankin-Bass cartoon version of The Return of the King. He doesn't have any lines in the movie and appears only in the one brief clip I took this screenshot from. I have decided that he is Tough-hide, one of my original Orc characters from my fanfic "Sundered Kindreds." Out of all the possible pictures I could have chosen (or drawn) to represent me as my author bio picture, this is the one that makes me feel the most proud and delighted. I love Orcs. (Professor J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion). They are -- to me -- beautiful, tragic, and very strong people. I go with the interpretation that was suggested by The Silmarillion, that they were once Elves who were captured, tortured, and transformed against their wills by Morgoth, the old master of Sauron. I would not be able to keep my own goodness and freedom in the face of such torment and fear. I would try, I hope -- probably less valiantly than those ancient Elves. And I would fail. So I can never blame any of the Orcs for anything that their evil -- which they did not choose -- makes them do. The Orcs still sing, as Elves do. They still heal (remember Merry Brandybuck's nasty head wound that they treated while he was their prisoner?), as Elves do. They may not do these things the same way or for the same reasons as Elves, but they do them. To me, this is a sign of their incredible strength. The Orcs are featured especially in my fanfics "Sundered Kindreds" (LoTR) and "The Last Note" (Silmarillion). "Sundered Kindreds" is a romance between the Elf-lord Glorfindel and an Orc-maiden, happening 20 years after LoTR. It is by far my most popular story, counting by how often people read and review it and by the number of story alerts (over twice as many alerts as on any of my other fics). It is also the ONLY one of my fanfics that I have ever had people review to tell me I should take it down because they disagree so strongly with the ideas (love, equality, freedom of an individual soul to choose between good and evil, open-mindedness, etc) that I am presenting in it. Go figure. You know, I've been looking at the reviews on some other people's sympathetic Orc fics and I discovered a pair of interesting facts: 1. They're not romances, just adventures, friendship, redemption, and/or tragedy fics. I think people believe they aren't prejudiced but the concept of romance touches something really deep that shows the hesitation they actually feel about considering someone to be "good" and/or truly "equal". You know what else? I've seen some romance fics about Sauron himself, and also a few about Morgoth a.k.a Melkor, his old master from the Silmarillion... and THEY do not have flames on them either! Weird, huh? No one says "Sauron is BAD! He can't fall in love! Good characters are too good for the likes of him!" But just let me suggest that one of his slaves could be freed and then deserve to fall in love with a good guy, and it's "YUCK YUCK! Take down this fic!" Oh well. -grin- I actually like seeing the flames. It proves to me that I presented my ideas to someone who didn't already agree with me. Look up the author name "Razzle and Lysana" to read the collaborations my sister Razzle and I have written together! So far that's the first of many chapters of "New Heading" - our Star Trek: Voyager fanfic about the continuing adventures of the biomimetic Demon crew aka the "Voyager Clones." Yes, this is a shameless plug for the Demon crew! I love them! I'm now running a Lord of the Rings C2 community, "Little Hope, But Not No Hope" - for stories about any of the LOTR villains that show their point of view in a respectful way. Some of the fanfics will have them still acting as the evil bad guys, while others are redemption themes or before-they-went-bad stories and so forth. The community's very new and only has a dozen or so stories in the archive so far, but please check it out! I'll be adding many more as quickly as I find them and get the permission of the fanfics' writers. :) My sister Razzle and I also have a similar community, "Beloved of Eru" on our joint account, for respectful fanfics about the villains of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion (the distant, mythical prequel to LOTR and The Hobbit). It's also very new, but there are several stories archived there already, and more that we're planning to get permission for and add very soon! If you have written, or have read, a fanfic that you think ought to be in one of these C2 archives, please send an email or PM to either me, Razzle, or both of us at our joint account. It doesn't matter where you send it, we'll both see it and respond promptly! And now, since you all seem to thrive on such things, the long-awaited "About Me" section! Gender: Female Age: 29 (yes, twenty-nine! And I hope to be this same silly yet deeply-caring fangirl when I reach eleventy-one!) Appearance: Unimportant Location: Just check your Marauders' Map. When you see the name "Lysana" in sparkly blue letters, you'll know that's where I am. Quote that defines who I am: "Good or bad, you're still a person... or whatever you are." -Kristy, Care Bears Movie II, to Dark Heart PMs and emails: I love getting them and sending them! Write to me at any time, for any reason or no reason at all. :) For a lot more about me as a person, a writer, and an editor, see my Beta-reader profile. It has lots of info about what kinds of fanfics I do and don't like, some of the settings I'm a fan of, a few of my ideas on writing and editing, and so forth. And if I can make just one life better -Song lyrics from Kiki's Delivery Service by Hayao Miyazaki-sama. Watch the movie! :) I am SO glad I found FanFiction dot Net! Boy, was my author bio outdated! The worst part was it made me look defunct. Rest assured: I AM NOT DEFUNCT! XD My author bio, like me and my stories, will forever be a work in progress. I'm posting a lot of stories lately so keep checking back! -Lysana People ought to give Mary Sues and OCs a break, and be nicer to the fans who write them! Take the Lord of the Rings setting, for instance. Let's say you want to write a romance fic about Legolas, and you're looking for a female canon character to pair him up with. The most likely match for him (in other words, someone clearly not near the beginning or end of her lifespan, and who is not already in a stable romantic relationship with someone else) would be Shelob. Yes, that's right, the giant spider. If you agree that this means we should all cut Mary Sue some slack, copy and paste this into your profile. Write about every character as if you -- or your best friend -- were their biggest fan. Give each of them all the screen time there's room for. Put thought and care into understanding and developing who they are. And always, ALWAYS portray them with absolute respect! And if it's a humor fic, let them enjoy the joke as much as everyone else. :) If you like these ideas and want to see them reflected in lots more people's fanfics, copy and paste this into your profile! I, Lysana, do solemnly swear to review all the fics I enjoy, regardless of the number of reviews, its age, or anything else. I have joined the Review Revolution. Post this same thing in your profile and spread the love! Reference links for my fanfics: Here's the link to the science page with the picture of an Allosaurus that I referenced in Chapter 6 of my Silmarillion fanfic "The Last Note."
