The one I'm talking about, who is usually flawed but overall definitely one of the nicer characters on the show, was made into a complete monster, villain sue, rapist, mind-rapist, drug addict, jerk jock, gaybasher, karma houdini and to top it all off, I strongly suspect that he is a self-insert for the author (don't think about that too hard. It'll give you nightmares). And we're given graphic descriptions of the rape scenes (in which the main character enjoys it), and of course the main character gets Stockholm Syndrome towards "Ron." Even my best penpal who's a Yaoi fangirl and enjoys rapefics found this one disturbing. It would curl your hair to read it. Fortunately, the author has taken it offline, so now at least no one else will be exposed to the eldritch horror.

The sporking of that Avatar fic indicated that he had written Stargate fics... that depresses me (I like Stargate)

At least the Avatar fic only lasted like 2 chapters. ._. It was still pretty awful though.

Because what one of the greatest animated series needed was to be written by a hack who thinks that overpowered doofuses is SUPER KEWL and corrupted forever the image of druids in my eyes. Thanks to that asshole, I will now forever associate Getafix with "stupid Mary Sues written because the author wanted spank material".

And nevermind that the kids were the focus and their mistakes were necessary to grow. Nope, screw that! Let's just have an adult teach them swordfighting and stuff and be in charge of everything!
Reminds me of DAYD, when the DA focused on working out rather than learning spells.

Oddly enough, several of the original names are actually of genuine Chinese origin. But Ye is made up, and Rui is Portuguese. And "Li" really is a Chinese unit of measurement.
Other things that jumped out at me that the sporkers didn't mention: 1. Kata is a Japanese term. The Earth Kingdom is based on China, and I'm assuming that the EK's martial-art of choice is going to be similar to the martial-art that earthbending is based off of (Hung Ga), which is a Chinese martial art. If this were Kyoshi Island's ma or (possibly) the Fire Nation, it would fit, but not here. 2. All the movements in bending correspond to actual, real life martial arts. Look at how Azula curbstomps Zuko in the season 2 opener without doing any bending, or Iroh handling those Imperial Firebenders. Also, Katara tried to get in a few hand strikes against Pakku in their duel. So I'm pretty sure that Aang would already know how to use a staff. Not that he'd be doing it with his Glider anyways, as in the episode Bitter Work he calls it a delicate instrument; it's for augmenting bending, not physical fighting. 3. I also find it odd that the Warden would refuse to surrender when he's badly injured and clearly beaten, even though in the show he was begging for mercy. 4. I also find it odd that Aang the pacifist, vegetarian, Buddhistesque monk was only regretting the losses of the earthbenders. In a story that's supposed to be dealing with the realities of war, it should point out that at least some of the Fire Nation guards were just doing trying to make money to possibly support a family rather than being evil. Hell, even in real life, people still feel messed up after killing/causing the death of people they know to be evil.
I'll say that this is an improvement from TGWL. Ye isn't quite as insufferable as Rosiopath. But it was still TERRIBLE. It was so boring it was like reading Twilight all over again. And it had more of his "I can do better than canon!" arrogance while at the same time stripping it of everything that made it good. Like the sporkers pointed out, he also failed at what he set out to do; Ye acted irrationally, and the horrors of war was barely touched upon, even though like they said this was one of the episodes that actually dealt with that issue.

So I was reading the sporkings of this, and man I hate Rose Potter and her Sueids so much it actually makes me wish that Thomas Brown's Prayer Warriors would show up and do their thing.

Finally finished the sporkings. Wow... just wow. You know, I once had a HP OOC who was quite the Gary Stu (never wrote anything about him because of it...) but even he would be disgusted by this bitch. At least he admits he's not a nice guy and he isn't portrayed as heroic or morally correct. Yet he's still less evil than Rose is.

You said it. I really think Rose Potter is the worst Sue of all time. Even though there's other Sues/Stues that I HATE more, Rose is definitely worse in Sue-ish terms.

Although I've been reading Zelda Queen's House of Night sporkings and Zoey Redbird might be getting up there...
