The Lone Canon Character’s Lament: A Sonnet

It’s really not all that bad on Dear Mun,
There are others who know my canon’s song.
But it’s all over before it’s begun.
It’s fleeting. Those threads never last too long.

Often, Baker Street is the same routine.
My canon friends are there for a short while
A wonder of wonders! A pretty dream!
They get bored when the story’s out of style.

Truly, it’s the games that are a nightmare.
They’re both lonely and boring, through and through.
Players with canonmates don’t see me there
And I end up with nothing much to do.

But I’ll stick it out to the bitter end.
The truest gold is a cross-canon friend.

The Original Character’s Lament: A Sonnet

“Type: Original.” Dear Mun’s tag of shame.
You just pass me by. You know that you do.
Dismissed and ignored. Written off. “So lame!”
Just seen as a joke or a Mary Sue.

A nonentity around Baker Street,
Most players won’t even bother to look.
We know what characters you want to meet,
Favorites from movies, TV, and books.

And don’t get me started on time in games
The life of an OC can be a bore!
Sometimes I think I should change my own name
To Coulson, Winchester, or Salvatore.

Why do I bother with this agony?
Simply because I’m happy to be me.
