Whoa...It's been almost a year since I updated this... ._.;

Anyways: the reason why I haven't been on for so blinkin' long is because I have very little time to write these days, as my GCSEs are approaching like a pack of starving sharks. It's also been some time since I updated my fics; I'm afraid being away from them so long has made me forget a lot of my plans for them, and I simply can't get back into the, 'groove,' as they call it. I've found various other hobbies and distractions on the way, and I've become very accustomed to writing original fiction. So the future of Marlin and company is uncertain... basically, my time is up, folks. As for the forum Mount Olympus, I'll try and see who would make the best candidate for its leadership, as I don't like the thought of there being total anarchy and no one to respond to reports. So I guess this is goodbye, . ;_; emotears

Shalom,

- Becky

There is a little story behind my obsession for destroying Mary-Sues and typos. Curl up by the fire, reader, and I’ll tell you a wee tale….

--~~~O.O~~~--

Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Becky. She loved words so much that she Sought Perfection in everything that she wrote. She believed that Every Word in Itself Was a Work of Art, a Piece of Beauty that should Never Be Marred or used for Silly Purposes. She Swallowed Dictionaries so that she could learn how to Spell Every Word Inside Correctly.

One day, Becky joined a Weird and Magical Place called fanfiction.net. She became so Engrossed in weaving her own little worlds that her writing eventually Got Better. Her stories weren’t Very Good but Pretty Damn Fun To Write Anyway. She is still thanking fanfiction.net for giving her this great gift of being Able To Write Stuff Well.

However, she discovered that many Bad People didn’t Spell Stuff Correctly. They spelt betrayal as betreyel, spelt believe as beleive and Thalia as Thaliai. Silly Things like Leaving Out Capitals; using i instead of I, Forgetting Full Stops and “putting in unnecessary speech marks.”

They spelt their as they’re and there as their and they’re as there and your as you’re and were as we’re and where as were and we’re as where. They left out the apostrophes in I’ll and you’ll so they looked like Ill and Youll.

They forgot to put in spaces after full stops and to take new lines when someone else spoke. Many people wrote in huge paragraphs, some didn’t know what the heck paragraphs were. Some couldn’t tell their superlative from their comparative, their pluperfect from their participle. Some didn’t know what the heck they were either.

All these Evil Things combined disgusted Becky so much that She Decided To Blow Them All Up. She went around Poking At Typos Until the Authors Exploded. Her goal was to Drive Out The Blaspheming Typos who Eroded the Beauty of Words. Stories without good grammar were like bangers without mash, Mario without Luigi, Ant without Dec, Titanic without Leornardo DiCaprio, Doctor Who without the Daleks, Hans Solo without Chubacca.

Thus the Typo Brigade Was Founded……

However, she Discovered Even More Evil Things. While on the whole Loads of People Spelt Stuff Correctly, even worse than badly spelt stories was the nefarious ways in which these Wonderful Words Were Used. Many did write Brilliant Stories, but some wrote Awful Stories containing Awful Characters called Mary-Sues. Mary-Sues were Awful because they were Totally Unrealistic and made Becky want to Hit Them With A Shovel In Disgust. Mary-Sues are Perfect In Every Single Way and made every self-respecting, book loving author on fanfiction.net Feel Bad About Themselves. Also, Mary-Sues took Very Little Imagination because the author only had to imagine Who They Wished They Were. Fanfiction.net was plagued by these Evil People, entire fandoms were Destroyed because Mary-Sues infested them Like Rats; Eragon is a Prime Example.

Becky would stand for this no longer! And so a character called Dementia Consequentia the Mary-Sue Slayer was born.

And here my story ends…..

--~~~O.O~~~--

Well, that’s pretty much why I go on these grammatical rampages all the time. Seriously, I care about words a lot. They Mean Things To Me. That’s all I have to say for now. Enjoy reading my fics!
