Uh oh.
I just had a thought. Um. Does ff.n have a Troy section yet?
Yes. Yes, they do. And it has ... three fics. Oh, god. I'm afraid to look.
And yet I look anyway.
There are actually seven. I suppose they multiplty like bunnies before the server has a chance to register there are more. Or perhaps sprouting like mushrooms would be a better analogy. *pause* Really, really bad mushrooms.
We have:
3 Achilles/Briseis
1 mini!Hector and mini!Paris ("It's about what brothers will do for one another. Don't worry, it isn't too serious. And, yes, I made Paris seven on purpose. (no slash, or profanity, or anything else icky)")
and...
Oh, Christ. Three Mary Sues. Already. Three.
There's a "Paris and Helen had a child and the child was destined to save Paris' city. Chapter 2 is up! R&R please."
And there's a "Hectors child and that of Achilles have lived peaceful unbeknowst of each other...what happens when they meet? I suck at summaried please givei t a chance!"
And, my personal favourite, the "Adriana Christian, a teenage rebel, finds herself in Ancient Troy during the Trojan War. She meets up with Paris, Helen, and Hector, but they don’t trust her for she’s an outsider. Can she help with the battles they all face and will they end up helping"
That last one, just because the summary isn't enough, is by "Jack-Sparrow-Lover". And in case there was any doubt, it starts with Adriana being an eighteen-year-old in the modern world - and mad about a particular movie. Guess which movie? C'mon, folks, bet you'll never get it.
Troy, you say?
Well, golly. You're right.
What's worse? When we were watching the movie, even with certain distraction provided by certain actors, I had time to think at one point, Crap. There's a Mary Sue opening there.
This is its fourth day open, and it already has published Mary Sues. I probably shouldn't be surprised.
Life at Ye Olde Pit of Voles.

No. No, I did not just think Pit with an extra T. I'm not at that stage yet. I can't possibly be that far down the fangirl road already. No.
Yes. Yes, they do. And it has ... three fics. Oh, god. I'm afraid to look.
