• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Congratulations; that is you! Some people take longer to understand what is or is not interesting to read. Yelling at them about it by going DON'T WRITE MARY SUES OR SELF INSERTS isn't going to help anything! It is mostly something to let them get bored of. Power fantasies aren't just about...

    I don't really see the point in ragging on new writers who really like their power fantasy OCs. (Calling them 'self inserts' is kinda inaccurate, since they're never actually like the writer, and 'Mary Sue' often gets used to mean 'a female character who exists'.) It keeps them interested in...
