Because I have Opinions and I wanna share.

Before I start, I'm a completely self-taught writer. That means, amongst other things, that I go by instinct. Which has far less hard-and-fast rules, in my opinion. Basically, just... three.

Rule 1: You can get away with anything if you have a good enough excuse. )

Rule 2: Don't tell your potential reader not to read your story. )

Rule 3: 'Mary Sue' is a useless criticism. )
