*claps* Your notes were really inspiring! *cries a single tear like a Mary Sue*

She wore Muggle clothing

What's up with the Sues and Muggle's cloathing? If I wrote a witch she would wear magical alike clothes. You can be sexy in wizard world's clothes too, look at Ball!Hermione, Cho and Fleur!

Yeah, and anyway, don't they all (the students) wear 'Muggle' clothing? I mean, black trousers are black trousers and a black skirt is a black skirt. It's just like any private school uniform. And Harry wears jeans and sweaters on weekends...

*worships your icon* sir_hellsing June 20 2003, 20:35:16 UTC

I don't know about all the students (in the books at least), but muggle borns or halfbloods will certainly wear it. I can't picture Draco wearing something muggle at all.

Harry wears that because, even though he has zillions of galleons in his account, he never went shopping clothes (Mrs. Weasley does the shopping for him). Boys... so clueless.

Re: *worships your icon* clairederbar June 20 2003, 21:26:02 UTC

I mean that clothes aren't really 'muggle' or 'wizard', other than robes. Sort of the like the food. Except for pumkin juice and sweets, Muggles and Wizards eat the same food, so why can't they wear the same clothes? And Ron's Mum knits them sweaters... And I just don't see even Draco wearing his robes from the moment he wakes until the moment he falls asleep every day..Not that I think he's decked out in Tommy Hilfegar, but the style is proably the same, more or less...Plus, in the movies and on the book covers, they look to be wearing normal trousers, blouses and vests under their robes.... But who knows....

She had a short temper - she never rushed things, always acted calmly, but piss her off, and you regretted it.

What's with the Sues and being so bitchy that you wonder why anyone would like them? So many stories have the Sue being a bitch to Harry, Ron or Hermione, but they're still the bestest of buddies. Now ... with the Trio, you can buy and understand it, but the Sue ... the Sue is not of this world and we cannot abide by this behavior.

DIE!

Yeah . . . I can see having bitchy characters, but nobody would actually like them, unless they were twofaced - and then I don't think the Trio would like them if they found out.

Yeah... darksylvia June 21 2003, 00:36:13 UTC

I notice this in a lot of fandoms. What is with the whole "let's be a horrible bitch to all the coolest main characters and then have them like me anyway"?

I mean, they've never shown any masochistic characteristics before and then suddenly they don't mind being treated like crap?

I'm in the Labyrinth fandom--mostly--and there are SO MANY people who down right abuse Jareth then don't let him retaliate at all, when, if he was in character at all, he'd bog them or turn them into something slimy or...

*sigh*

We've got some seriously sick people out there.

The story sucked. (How on earth would Draco know who Salma Hayek is?)

But that song rocked.

The story sucked. (How on earth would Draco know who Salma Hayek is?)

Eh... perhaps Lucius punished the kid and made him take Muggle Studies for a year. Or...she's really a witch who went rogue and works in the Muggle's world! Or maybe, he's not really Draco, but his long lost twin brother who was raised by muggles!

This is another D-file to resolve, agent Weasley!

affabletoaster June 20 2003, 22:24:44 UTC

...she never rushed things, always acted calmly...she was calm, she was spontaneous, humorous and generally a mad female.

She never rushes things, is redundantly calm, but is also spontaneous? Spontinaety (sp?) requires an amount of "rushing into things." You just say "Hey, let's kill the Mary Sues," while eating your broccoli. That is not a calm thing.

Humorous and generally a mad female? I think I'm going to die---laughing!

iczer6 June 21 2003, 08:39:48 UTC

Author I have a new phrase for you.

Contradiction in Terms.

In other words a short tempered person would NOT act calmly, they would act friggin SHORT TEMPERED. If they did they would be called a calm person.

When I read this, I thought [I]This is the worst Hayyr Potter based fic ever. There can't be worse than this![/I] I told my freind this and she proved me wrong. Beware oh fellow Mary-Sue haters, for the link I'm about to provide is not for the faint hearted. It's rather scary actually.
