Mysterious Uncle, my ass.

I only had to read the perp's name to nearly fall over laughing. >XD

First question: what is wrong with the pen name I use? I'd change it, since I don't use that name so much anymore, but then I'd lose all the reviews I have on all my older stories.

And secondly, when did I say Abby needed protection from Voldemort? I do believe I mentioned somewhere, maybe in an author's note or something, that Voldemort was defeated at some point previously. He does not make an appearance in this story.

The reason she's been sent to live with her uncle is being explained in the story. Unlike some authors, I don't like to tell all in the first chapter.

Abby is nothing like me. She is just a character who popped into my mind who popped into my mind at work one day.

Maybe you all should try improving your reading comprehension skills before critisizing other people's work. I can see that you don't really pay attention to what other people write; you only read enough to critisize their work.

Ah, yes... reminds me of the times when I would over-criticize others' work and over-praise my own. Now I just over-criticize everything, but hey. Not saying that that's what you're doing, but... people always get so offended when other people make fun of them. ;)

Myself, I think this is... a possible Sue. It all depends on where you're going with the story. She could well turn out to be a nice, non-perfect, non-Sue character, but it is the beginning of one, and would turn out to be one in a bad author's hands--which I don't think you are, not really. At least you have a good grip on spelling and grammar.

But please, don't insult people who don't like your story or characters. It's not only idiots who dislike stuff.

And... Snape teaching kids how to knit is, frankly, a hilarious mental image. XD

Well, from the above example of your writing, I think your fan fiction is okay.
It's actually something I would read.
But I might just have low standards considering that there are two stories that have 'Mary Sues' that I like on this journal.

Liking Mary-Sues doesn't mean you have low standards! Don't think that it does!

Oh Goodness, another Sue Author jumps into the frey, intent on defending her helpless baby from our evil clutches ( ... )

If the author can't take the criticism of a few people on the Net, she'd better not try this work professionally.

That is all.
