ladylarkrunePlease explain to me why 90% of the fics for this fandom are Mary Sues?
Because seriously, I want to know.
We have in no particular order:
The Female Pirate Captain who captures Jack's Heart
The Obligatory Time Travelling Self Insert
The Merchant's/Governor's Daughter
The Runaway Noblewoman
Jack's Undiscovered Daughter
Will and Elizabeth's Daughter
Will's Missing Sister
Jack's Missing Sister
And of course My Sue's backstory is too cool for you - High School Fics
I mean seriously, I am trying to find a decent fic that is not any of the following and it is bloody difficult. I don't want to say how many Jack/OFC pairings I have seen.
I'll admit it makes me want to write something for the fandom just to show you can write a good story and have action/adventure and even romance and not have to create a Mary Sue to do it.
After all Elizabeth is enough of one on her own.
