Okay, everyone, can we get back on-topic, please?
*thinks* Here's another one:
Don't mix up fanon and canon. As far as I know, there is nothing in canon which states that Tseng is from Wutai. He might be from somewhere else! And Reno might not be a very *friendly* person!

On topic? Why would we be that? Gosh, Pied. ;D
'Nother one:
Don't reference our-world events, history, religion, languages or pop culture in your fanfictions. Seriously, just don't. Admittedly, there are exceptions (especially in parody fics), but by and large, references exclusive to our world just don't fit into Gaia. For instance, brands commonly found here aren't going to be found in the FF7 world.

*looks at my previous post* Ah, love what the swear filter did there.
Oh, and Snarky, I completely agree with your post. FFVII is not our world. Barret can't be African American because there is no Africa or America in FFVII! Nor is Yuffie Asian.

I got another commandment, but I might get hunted down by some fangirls for this!
Vincent and Hojo will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER be together as lovers! Seriously, Hojo has done way too much to Vincent for these two to ever be together. Even before Hojo altered him, I still can't see these two together because Vincent obviously loved Lucrecia far more. They'll definely never be together during the game and after because Hojo hates (or maybe he just dislikes him greatly?) Vincent and Vincent doesn't like him much (I don't think Vincent hates Hojo because in the game, he wished Hojo rested in peace even after all the things he put him through).

How about:
No matter what you personally might think, no one else wants to read about the amazing adventures of Cloud/Reno/Vincent/Rufus/Tseng/Cid's gorgeous, talented, smart, flirtatious, independent, amazing daughter. Just say NO to Mary Sues.
If you're ever bored one day, go to FFN's Just In section, and count how many of the New Stories are Mary Sues. Hours of entertainment.

Oh, my, yes. Hours of entertainment, but I think it might make the faint of heart weep in despair.

I've got no problem with Mary Sues if they say it is. If they put an OC in and insist it's not a Mary Sue and then it is, then I'm annoyed.
Same with self-inserts. No problems as long as I'm warned properly.

Why would you actually label your story as having a Mary Sue? Isn't it a bad thing...? I've seen this a couple of times...

Why would you actually label your story as having a Mary Sue? Isn't it a bad thing...? I've seen this a couple of times... This is often done if it's a parody or if the author plainly doesn't care the story has a Mary Sue. They probably figure if they give a warning about their story having a Mary Sue, they won't get flamed for it. Some authors just write on the site for fun and just don't care if their OC is a Mary Sue.

And others don't even know what a Mary Sue is, and write on in a belief that they have an adorable character everyone will love, since he or she is so beautiful and awesome.
God, I |hate Mary Sues. If it's not a parody. Then it could be loads of fun.

By my post, I meant the fics that aren't deliberate parodies. Of course they're as funny as heck. It's the unintentional Mary Sues on FFN that make my mind laugh and my soul weep. The sheer number that crop up on the Just In Stories search is fantastic, especially on a bad day for FFVII.

*Gets out her oar* HUUUUUURRRRR!!! *Throws in oar* 1. Cid f**king Highwind wouldn't f**k Vincent f**king Valentine if he was the last f**king surgically-mindraped person on the f**king planet. (Unless he was drunk.) 2. Cait Sith does not wear a beach hat, he wears a CROWN, goddammit, and at christmas he puts tinsel on it but that's it3. Never do a Cait Sith's moogle pairing, because no one likes it. Fact. [/silliness][but may add to it if I get more ideas] Yah, so funny. LOL No one likes a Caith/Moogle pairing. Fact. ;D

1. Aeris isn't a sweet and fragile little girl who constantly needs Cloud's protection. She kicks BUTT with that staff of hers.
2. Elena isn't best friends with Tifa, Aeris and/or Yuffie, unless trying to kill each other is a sign of true friendship and unending loyalty.
