Are you tired of fanfics that replicate hackneyed portrayals of characters that have absolutely nothing to do with the series?  Have you ever felt infuriated at the almost overpowering influence of fanon on characters - and the way incorrect fanon can overwhelm canon?

You're not alone.

If you write, or even just want to support intelligent, three-dimensional portrayal of our favourite characters, this page is for you.  Show your support by putting one of our banners up on your page and linking back to this site.

This site hosts Defy the Stereotype for two series: Fushigi Yuugi and Yami no Matsuei.

The webmistress is pleased to announce that this site is affiliated with
Defy the Stereotype: Captain Tsubasa

The Defy the Stereotype concept originated on the Fic Snobs ML and was originally applied to the Gundam Wing fandom.

Inspiration for many of the banners is drawn from the collection of GWing banners, which can be found at the Defy the Stereotype Homepage.
