3483: Greek Tragedy - Electra, Lissa, Daemon
Don't forget about the Thirteenth Annual Pottersue Fanfic Contestt. You've got until January 31 to get your entries in.
- Here is the link of the day, Mary Sue Who?. I don't completely agree with the article, but the writer says some nice stuff regarding Mary Sues, and hits upon certain recomentations
- Flashback Sue is A Mix of Electric Purple and Dark Turquoise.
TITLE: Greek Tragedy
PERPETRATOR: Queen Kakia
SUE-O-METER:
(awful)
COVER/BANNER ART: None as the writer's not been active since 2001.
SUMMARY:”What's the best way to keep the Hogwarts students safe from Voldemort? Duh, bring them to a country even *he* won't venture to. The land of the free and the home of the brave.”
FULL NAME: Electra, Daemon, Lissa
SPECIES: unknown, I'm guessing though they're related to the gods
HAIR: One of the character's is blonde, and the other is a red head. I think Electra is the blonde, and Lissa is red. The blonde also has short blonde hair.
EYES: n/a
MARKINGS: n/a
POSSESSIONS: n/a
CONNECTION TO CANON:
ORIGIN: n/a - I'd really like to know what the writer was thinking on this one.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: I'm assuming Electa was supposed to have electric powers, and Daemon demonic powers. The story never got past the first chapter, and is a complete mess.
NOTES: I've never understood these stories which think the Harry Potter cast actually need help with Voldemort.
SAMPLE:
Nobody looked up when the three children appeared on the sidewalk. It seemed like they'd always been there. They didn't *look* strange. So nobody noticed them as they walked toward the crowd around the man giving the speech. Nobody gave them a second look when the man split his pants. And nobody saw them walking away--they were all too busy laughing.
When they were about a block away, the boy, who had been struggling to hold in a laugh for quite some time now, finally let it out. He doubled up in hyserics and couldn't walk anymore. The two girls gave each other looks and waited for him.
"That was hilarious!" he exclaimed as soon as he could talk again. "That was *great*! You're a genius, Electra!"
The girl with the flame red hair grinned. "I know I am."
The girl with the short blonde hair looked worried. "Who is that guy, anyway?"
Electra rolled her eyes. "He *was* my dad's boss, until he fired him. Prick."
"What?" The blonde girl stopped and looked at Electra in astonishment. Like she was really surprised. Sure. "You have to stop getting me into trouble like that. I didn't ask for it."
"Hey, you're our friend, right?" the boy pointed out. "That's asking for trouble all in itself. Plus, you didn't get into any trouble."
"See, he's right," Electra agreed.
"Daemon's *always* right," the blond girl groaned. There was something about the boy that could sway anyone to whatever side he wanted. He was well-suited to become a lawyer.
"It's my touch," Daemon bragged, grinning. "I'm special."
"So am I," Electra jumped in. They reached the subway entrance that they'd been heading for and started walking down the stairs. Instead of it getting darker, though, the light actually became brighter until it seemed like the middle of a sunny day. "Let me guess--Elissa already got all her books except the one they didn't have in stock yet the day she got the letter."
Elissa, the blonde, blushed. "So sue me--I'm responsible."
