thanks! I really just have ISSUES with Sue sporking and fic sporking communities, tbh. I mean I get that some fics are so bad they're good.
But there's a fine line between pointing out badly-written original characters that are disrupting the ecosystem in fics that are meant to be canonical, and deciding that every piece of fanfiction which centres upon an original character is a Sue story, because it is legitimate to write about original characters in fanfiction when your story is *not* meant to simulate canon.
And I really feel a lot of Sue-sporkers are canon policers. I get that there is a large swath of the fic-reading world that wants canon canon canon, but given the popularity of stuff like K/S, Wincest, Slytherfic, pastfic and futurefic, there is clearly a large swath (which I am in) that turns to fic for the stuff canon didn't give them.
