Fixer Sue: Difference between revisions

* There are a high number of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' fanfics that try to remove the [[Official Couple|canon]] [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|lesbianism]] of [[Bifauxnen|Haruka]] and [[The Ojou|Michiru]]. Most of them just [[Character Derailment|turn Haruka]] [[Psycho Lesbian|into an evil butch pervert]] [[Die for Our Ship|who abuses Michiru]] and create a dashing [[Relationship Sue|Gary Stu]] to make Michiru heterosexual. The most infamous example, however, was cooked up by the notorious Save Our Sailors website, which actually [[Possession Sue|used]] ''Haruka'' as the '''Fixer Sue''' and tried to pass it off as canon. Their story claimed that there was a Prince of Uranus in the past that was Sailor Uranus' brother and Michiru's past lover, whom Sailor Uranus passed her powers onto when she died and caused him to be reincarnated as a woman that still loved Michiru. Therefore it wasn't ''really'' homosexuality because Haruka was ''[[Discount Lesbians|really]]'' [[Discount Lesbians|a boy]]. Cue [[Internet Backdraft]] and loss of what little credibility they ever had! (Naoko Takeuchi [[Word of God|has gone on record]] saying that Haruka is not and never has been a man, but when has ''that'' stopped anyone?)

** The long-dead Queen Serenity gets used like this a ''lot'' in ''Sailor Moon'' fics. Her powers will be boosted from being simply powerful to being capable of nothing short of [[God Mode Sue|divine miracles]], then, because she's dead, she will poof away once her job is done and the author doesn't have to even come up for a plausible exit for her. Because Queen Serenity ''is'' such a legendary figure in the canon, all the characters will accept whatever she did as correct, even if the fix applied is something that would have appalled them in canon. Like say... a fix fic that tried to correct Haruka and Michiru by having Queen Serenity appear and "correct" Haruka's gender to male, which is regarded positively by everyone involved.

* Shioshiro Himiya, from the ''[[Weiss Kreuz]]'' fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2065398/1/ Kind des Schicksals], is another [[Kid From the Future]] Stu - the child of Aya Fujimiya and Ken Hidaka, both of whom are ''male'' and don't like each other much - who conveniently knows the entire plotline and comes back in time to save Weiss and Schwarz from the evils of [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo|Weiss Kreuz Gluhen]]. His presence is the answer to just about every issue the characters have, no matter how deep-rooted, and once his purpose - to warp the story into a [[Fan Girl]]-approved shape and get [[Yaoi Fangirl|fan-favorite]] [[One True Pairing|pairings]] to hook up [[Because Destiny Says So]] - is fulfilled, he conveniently dies. This fic is also absurdly popular. Though one wonders if it would be as popular if Shioshiro had been 1) a girl and 2) someone else's child.

* Pretty much every [[Original Character]] or [[Ascended Extra]] in [[Cori Falls]]'s ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' fanfiction exists solely to make sure everyone knows how perfect and special her version of Jessie, James and Meowth are and that Ash Ketchum is stripped of any positive qualities to prove what a [[Complete Monster]] he "really" is.
