Yeah. I have to study again and probably that's why I'm writing another journal.
That stamp over there, i started using it to thank at least symbolically for the attention. I don't thank for every fave in person very often, but I assure you it's not because I don't appreciate them. I just can't spend the whole day on the internet, and when I'm here I prefer to reply to comments, take care of ~
Devmeet-Cracow site, visit some other deviants' galleries, maybe re-visit some of those who visited me, and fave or comment on things I like.
Also, sorry for fave-and-running most of the time
. Same reason, trying to limit my time online. I look at everything in my watchbox though, even if there's lots of it.Other stuff
I've been thinking about all the Mary Sue issue. Now you know how I hate unrealistic self-insert characters, right? And you know how I always say that you can't be a fully realized, mature artist until you're able to consciously, though not obsessively, separate yourself and your self-compensation from your works. Right? So you know I'm not intending to defend any REAL Suethors and their monstrous creations *ahemtwilightahem*. But I'm noticing that dislike towards Sues is turning into a witch hunt on the part of many critics and lots of authors are unjustly judged and not even given a minuscule amount of credit.
Right now pretty much ANY young author and/or/ESPECIALLY FEMALE author is judged as a Suethor, often without proper looking at their works.
Now I understand that it is often young females who feel most insecure about themselves and pour their insecurities onto their work, which results in many a monstrosity.
But assuming EVERY female character in all female-created fiction is a Mary Sue - which lots of people here on DA do - is clearly an overstatement. And a very common overstatement, unfortunately. Discourages lots of talented female writers from doing something with their work.
(However, discourages also lot of talentless rabid fantards from publishing their "original" just-like-Twilight-only-with-myself-and-my-dream-half-furry-guy fiction. Which is actually good for the collective brain of the society
)
Now remember, kids: only ONE or TWO traits considered Suelike in an otherwise credible character with exploitable flaws as well as strong points does NOT automatically make them a Sue. For example:
A character perfect in every respect and the best in everything they do, flawlessly beautiful, being always right about everything, still not believing in themselves out of sheer modesty and maybe a rough time in their childhood - most likely a Sue. Kill it with fire.
A relatively pretty character, maybe smart but with flaws, prone to being wrong at times, being a bundle of complexes for no other apparent reason than their rough time in childhood - might as well NOT be a Sue. Depends on how they're created.
I'm not an authority on this though, there ARE good articles and limitus tests about your characters' credibility written by competent people. I'm using lots of them while creating my OC's, as I, myself, am not very competent. Therefore I'm not intending on writing any how-to's on my own. I'm just noticing how many people tend to classify on the spot and give themselves in to a stereotype. Which I simply don't like.
Anyway - A small feature.
- Look what I got from
. Go and bomb her with faves
Also, take a look at some of my recent faves, you can do the same with them XD:
- she's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. So's the rest of her gallery.
- a concept that made me smile widely
- great and somewhat mysterious atmosphere.
- an interesting experiment with technique
- a nice, quite positive piece of photojournalism.
- dreamlike atmosphere which I love.
- lovely macro with a great, nostalgic effect
Hm.
That's all folks. Back to studying.
