The Luck of Ella Smith
Ella was the daughter of ten generations of birthright lottery winners, so she has inherited the lucky gene. Nothing ever went wrong in her young life because she was so lucky, but she was also lucky enough to grow up humble, kind and not spoiled. In the late 25th century, when she was 16, she was vacationing on the moon when she was kidnapped by a two-headed three-legged insane puppeteer who took her to the ringworld to search for a magical transmutation device which doesn't really exist. Being incredibly lucky, she found it while in the process saving the ringworld from certain destruction and meeting her true love, who vowed to return with her to her home and stay by her side forever. But as she, the puppeteer, and her true love Harasaytilronan made their way back to known space, they were captured by a kzin warship! The kzin had found an ancient slaver weapon which they were sure would allow them to finally conquer Earth, as well as the puppeteer worlds, which the kzin somehow knew the location of. Hearing this, the puppeteer curled up into a ball and was no help to anyone, leaving Ella and Harasaytilronan to be eaten by the merciless kzin. What to do? Ella (with a little help from her true love Harasaytilronan) singlehandedly fought off five kzin and captured the ship and the slaver weapon, thus preventing the start of another man-kzin war. She returned to Earth to be greeted by grateful world leaders, who generously gave her more than enough money for her and Harasaytilronan to live happily ever after (and they had brought back immortality potion from the ringworld, so it really was ever after).
Bonus points to anyone who can tell me which author I've been reading like crazy lately.
Bond Girl
Yelena Konstantinovna Ivanova was born on a collective farm in the Soviet Union. Through perserverance and hard work, she passed the entrance exams to MGU, where after more perserverance and hard work, she was recruited by the KGB. She was their best spy. Using her intelligence, charm, and...other assets, she could get information from anyone. Naturally, the CIA and M16 wanted her dead. James Bond was sent in to do the job. He expected it to be easy. He thought it would be like every other time. She'd see him, she'd have sex with him, she'd want to defect, they'd arrange something, he'd desert her as soon as she wasn't a threat to anyone. But no. Her loyalty to the motherland was too great. The only way she could ever repay the land that had given her so much was to eliminate its greatest enemy, Bond. So she strangled him with her hair as they were making love. She remained Russia's top agent until a chance encounter with the SPECTRE organisation. She had already repayed her debt to Mother Russia, and she wanted more power. So she joined SPECTRE, rose quickly, killed number one, and eventually ruled the world with a fuzzy white cat at her side.
I hate James Bond. I saw two of the movies. One was really stupid with a spaceship that ate other spaceships and the other was really stupid with two gypsy women who were ready to kill each other over this one guy, and then they both decided to have sex with Bond instead.
