True, you want some escape from reality, but at the same time you want to keep some intelligence and not barf your brains out every other sentence because the MC can't stop mary-sueing it to the max. I never imagine characters how the author describes them anyway, e.g. always imagined Edward Cullen to look like Jackson Rathbone as Jasper Cullen in the movies
lol exactly, intelligence should be required for fanfiction writers...I think that would severely diminish our numbers though

Did that person happen to be a Twilight fanatic?
No they were responding to a post I made about wanting to see my "ugly" (not hideous but you know what I mean...) OC's rather than "plain but still pretty" which is the cliche of the century when it comes to OC appearances.

The worst ones are XMen evolution fanfics. The OCs have the most ridiculous powers.
Any fandom where the characters have "powers" in general is usually that way.
