DGM and the 'Horrors' of Fandom Originality

[terpzilla.livejournal.com]

Goooood morning comm!

In the interest of generatiing discussion which is so not an excuse to pimp this picture, I has a few questions regarding the fanfikshun.

SO. For anyone who has gone looking for the fanfickles, you know you've run across them. OCs. More than likely, the dreaded Sues who just love to molest Kanda/Lavi/Tyki. Please to be sharing your horror stories if you please.

HOWEVER, I am not here to preach on those evils that spawn from inexperienced writers and the deep dark desires of the usually younger fangirl. This is more a question of character; seeing as the Order is down to less than a dozen Exorcists if I have my math right, what kind of characters would you like to see join the Order? And have you ever read a story in which the author succeeded in making a plot with a well-made new character?

Personally, being a fan of creativity in any form, I would love to see something like this. These days, though, most fanfiction just... doesn't draw me in with plot, whether it's slash or involves OCs or what. In particular, I haven't found a longer DGM story to really engross myself in.
 

Opinions Y/N/WTH?

And for those who would rather keep their peace:



*coughcough* 'cause if the guys all want each other, where does that leave poor Lenalee?
