Necrosis · Aug 17, 2002, 06:09 AM

Okay folks I've been wondering about this for awhile. What is so special about this word, and what the hell does it mean?

i noticed when i visited asus's german site, in the area where there is usually written "about asus", there was written "uber asus"

" Right now, we have rants being posted by people angry that writers seem to be taking non-recognizable uber characters and giving them raven hair/blue eyes and red-blonde/green eyes and calling it Uber...AND we have rants about characters that people feel are uber based being used in commercially published fiction. When is Uber truly uber and when does uber stop being uber? I don't know, and I don't think that the dividing lines are as important as some people believe.

The X and G archetypes and general backstory are powerful. If nurturing influences for Uber writers remain visible and accessible on the net, I believe that new Uber will continue to be created for years to come, tho probably not nearly as prolifically as we've seen it. The great thing about Uber fic is that it gives writers a structure and framework to work from. Our uber fic authors will naturally move toward new and different challenges, which will mean either creating a long body of work where characters sequentially change ala Missy Good or starting to experiment with new and different characters. "

I hope this clears everything up lol lol
