Elsewhere: C'ren (Part 1)

C'ren the dragon rider
My readers have already complained that C'ren is a stupid name. As a matter of fact, when I decided to do my research some time ago, I realized that C'ren is actually a common (I think I found about two other Pernese fan-made characters with the same name) Pernese masculine name (another Sue point for C'ren of One Less Lonely Gurl!), and is therefore, not stupid. The guy on the left is actually my interpretation of a fan-made character from this antiquated Geocities website where Anne McCaffrey fans would roleplay and live out their fantasies of living in the world of Dragonriders of Pern, a sci-fi/fantasy book that McCaffrey wrote. (Coincidentally, my trollfic was labeled as sci-fi/fantasy. Hey, I didn't know about this book until then!)

The name C'ren is actually commonly pronounced as See-ran (as with this character), and a dramatic reading of my fic by some British chick who happens to be a fanfic reviewer pronounced it as such. C'ren of One Less Lonely Gurl, however, is pronounced as Karen as a pun on Plankton's computer's name.

Now, for a character profile. Also, I will test if this character is a Gary Stu. (Most likely, he's not. The character rules actually state that no Mary Sues and Gary Stus are allowed.)

Disclaimer: Since I don't actually know much about Pernese culture provided that I haven't really read any of the books, this profile might be inaccurate. Nevertheless, this is the most wholesome character profile in this blog so far amidst all the Sue Profiles that are really just as offensive as the characters themselves.

Elsewhere: My FFN Penname

I randomly googled the name 'Monica Gilbey-Bieber', my penname, and came across this:


It turns out that Monica Gilbey is a real name, and I'm sorry for that. I owe this woman an apology. Also, did anyone notice that it is in a website about the Parish of St. James? And that my name is James? Creepy...
