(no subject)
Here is one of the entries I've had written up a long time ago, which explains why I thought we should have another Sue tagged with the Hawaiian ethnicity tag.
TITLE: Easier to Lie
PERPETRATOR: DeathCabGirl21
SUE-O-METER:
(bad)
COVER ART/BANNER: None
FULL NAME: Harry Potter, Amanda
SPECIES: “messy haired”
HAIR: canon
EYES: canon
MARKINGS: canon
POSSESSIONS: 1000 Magical Herbs, but he switches to The Da Vinci Code when Amanda starts waking up. He is able to use magic over the summer and does it in front of Amanda. And then they get onto the plane.
CONNECTION TO CANON: He is on a flight to Hawaii. and meets Amanda whose parents couldn't put up with her for the summer. Hedwig got sent the the Humane Society.
ORIGIN: Harry's Aunt and Uncle send him to friends in Hawaii to be their gardener.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: He figured out a way to practice magic over the summer. READ the sample.
NOTES: One of the reviewers says this in their review. “Chapters need to be a bit longer though. I don't recommend putting up anything less than 3500 words per chapter.” Also, this is supposed to feature Harry and Hermione but Hermione never shows up.
SAMPLE:
Harry used his new found powers to cast concealing charms on anything from the wizarding world. For the first time in his life, Harry felt in control. He stretched slightly in his seat and smiled at Amanda, who was listening to music. She took his tentative smile as and invitation to talk and immediately took off her earphones and smiled sheepishly. "I swear I'm not a geek. I just like listening to music. It completely relaxes me. Airplane music is in a class of its own though." Harry laughed. "You're the first normal person I've talked to in a long time. With the exception of the airplane music. That's just weird."
There was a sudden jerk. A haggard voice came over the intercom. "Ladies and gentlemen, the captain has activated the fasten seatbelt sign. We've hit some turbulence. I'm very sorry, but there will be no food service until we've passed over. Thank you!"
There was a great deal of movement as everyone buckled up. Harry looked over at Amanda. She looked traumatized. Her eyes bugged out as she wildly swung her head towards Harry. She whispered dramatically "No food? What has this world come to!" Harry laughed uncertainly and said "I guess we'll just have to wait." Amanda slumped in her chair. "I don't really care. I just hate how complicated traveling is. It's so tiring." Harry wasn't as put out as Amanda, but he felt uncomfortable as his stomach rumbled. He patted her arm awkwardly and said "It'll be okay. We'll get back to smooth sailing in no time."
Amanda rolled her eyes. "I don't care. I just hate that I'm… I just hate traveling right now. It's just really annoying. Stupid Hawaii." Harry looked over at her, startled. "Don't you want to go on vacation? I mean it's a vacation in Hawaii. That's good, right?" Again she rolled her eyes. "I can relax perfectly fine at home. But my parents don't want to worry about me over break. So they send me away. There really isn't a reason for me to go to Hawaii other than to get out of my parents hair. They're too busy for me." She blushed at what she said. "I'm not throwing myself a pity party, I hope you know. Actually, I'm not that hungry anymore. I'm going to try to fall asleep. I'm still pretty tired." She clicked off her light and turned away from Harry.
