Excuse you but I think he is, that doesn't mean he actually is but thats my opinion. Mitch is a geek. I rather go out with Wooton than Mitch!

I don't think I'm old enough to date yet, and besides I don't like dating anyway. But if I had to I'd pick Trent DeWhite definatly! \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/

Could you explain to the uninformed what a "Mary Sue" is?

Yeah, I was wondering that too... an idealized character in the fanfiction world, created by the author (a very short summary)- read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Sue

So if I wrote a fanfic about Jason meeting this super-cool, totally fabulous girl (who might just happen to have the same name as me ;)) and they started dating, that girl would be a Mary Sue. I've gotten the general impression that they generally aren't looked up with favour. I read a little bit of POTC fanfic (I really couldn't recommend most of what I read) and some of the titles and descriptions are hilariously filled with Mary Sues. Will has a sister looking for him; Jack has a sister; somebody has a long-lost love; somebody who is totally perfect shows up out of the blue and does something heroic...generally not even worth reading the descriptions. ;)

*rushes off to write a great story with a cool Jason and Catspaw idea* ;)

Yeah, that's basically what a Mary Sue is. They are abundant in websites like Fanfiction.net. I was practically driven out of the CoN section because of the sheer number of them. However, they're are stories where people goe 'Mary Sue Hunting' out there as well. I once read one of them (Along with the reviews) and I laughed my head off.

I'd date Richard Maxwell!! I think he's cute although he cheats on his girls, went to jail, and burned down a barn... But I still think he's cute!

You think he's cute on the basis of his voice perhaps? ](*,)

Dating is for non-christians! :shame:
I would date Connie

The Bible says, "If it causes you to sin, cut it off." So if I see anyone and am tempted to date them (Dating is a sin!) Then I'll have to kill them. :-
This is just a bit... off topic.

How does this topic get away with being in Whits End? Shouldn't it be moved to Hillingsdale? :-k
