    Has anyone done Kelly Kapowski from Saved by the Bell? I have been rewatching the show, and as much as I love the nostalgia, she is a total sue. If no one has done her, I'm claiming her.

    Surprised Nobody's Mentioned Humanity Yet
     . . . from the amazing piece of shit that is The Salvation War. I'm writing up the Sue report, but I haven't gotten to the really juicy (read: awful) parts yet, so I'm holding off for a bit.

     Hope this is allowed....

    Some of us in this comm have been tossing around ideas but I finally went ahead and made a forum to discuss/complain about books we don't like lol.

    http://z6.invisionfree.com/R_A_B_B/ or Readers Against Bad Books

    So um yeah. Come on down! PS I'm new to forum making so any suggestions would be much appreciated (I also would like a better colour/layout than monotonous blue but I guess that'll come later). Please report any problems too.

    If you like what you see, please feel free to spread the word :)

    I don't think anyone's reported her yet.
    Title of Work: Love Monster
    Author: Riko Miyagi

    Full Name, including titles: Hiyoko Osora, Hiyo, White Crow
    Full Species(es): Half-human, half-crow; possible 'God'
    Hair Colour (include adjectives): Blonde
    Eye Colour: Green
    Unusual Markings/Colourations: N/A
    Special Possessions/Pets: Konta Inari, Kalasu
    Annoying Sidekicks: Kurou Tenma, L Bradford, Maboroshidou Haine

    Annoying Origin: Kyoko Osora and Shou Osora
    Annoying Way of Ruining the Story: Every guy wants to get into her pants. Even some of the girls as well. Can't seem to do anything on her own. Always has to have Kurou, L, or Haine save her. Often gets into trouble due to her own stupidity and naiveness.
    Annoying Special Abilities: As the White Crow, Hiyo supposedly has the ability to grant any wish with her feathers. She can make any guy fall in love with her. She can create a replica of the original world with all of its people after her boyfriend caused everyone in the original world to vanish. 
    Miscellaneous Reasons The Sue Should Not Exist: Nearly every other guy in the story wants to rape her. She is the uber special White Crow, which is the rarest and most specialest creature ever in the Monster World. She gets kidnapped way too often and even then, she doesn't or rather can't do anything about it, instead constantly relying on either Kurou, L, Haine, or really anyone else to save her. Half of the situations she gets into are her own fault.
    Redeeming Qualities: Her optimism, I guess. That, and she actually does tell Kurou off and gets mad at him when he wronged her instead of doing the typical shoujo thing and just automatically forgiving him when he said he was sorry.
    Small snippet of Sue Being Annoying: You might as well just read it, if you can stomach it.

    Has anyone reported Maya Kitajima from Glass Mask?
     I'll admit I'm only 13 episodes into the most recent anime adaptation, but everyone gushes over her innate talent and strong stage presence so much that it's getting ridiculous. She constantly gets lead roles because she's so talented, she can perfectly recite and pantomime a three-hour play, word for word and gesture for gesture, after seeing it once, and was able to successfully act out an entire hour-and-a-half long play that was meant to have 14 roles by herself and earned a curtain call and the top spot in the audience vote. The only reason she didn't win the competition was because of some underhanded protesting from the manager of her rival troupe when she was about to win, which caused her troupe to have to disband from assloads of debt - and even then her rival, Ayumi, admitted that even though her performance won, Maya was the real winner because her performance would be so much more memorable.

    I was actually surprised that she failed a movie audition - and then all of that flooded away after the judges were so enamoured with her acting they still gave her a bit part. :/ If she's more developed in other versions, then forgive me and please correct me. xD;

    Meet Mitchell McDeere, Stu Extraordinaire
     Title of Work: The Firm
    Author: John Grisham

    Full Name, including titles: Mitchell Y. McDeere
    Full Species(es): Human
    Hair Colour (include adjectives): Brown
    Eye Colour: Brown
    Unusual Markings/Colourations: None
    Special Possessions/Pets: None
    Annoying Sidekicks: Brother Ray McDeere and a secretary that latches on to him because of a Deus Ex Machina conveniently timed assassination

    Annoying Origin: Poor-kid-strikes-it-rich, your fairly standard Horatio Alger mythos
    Annoying Way of Ruining the Story: Being an asshat generally, and conveniently knowing more about surveillance and evasion of such than experienced Mafia folk and federal agents. Cheats on his wife and steals money all over.
    Annoying Special Abilities: Improbable knowledge of Mafia surveillance and lectures a federal agent on such.
    Miscellaneous Reasons The Sue Should Not Exist: N/A
    Redeeming Qualities: At least he actually does evade the Mafia.

    Small snippet of Sue Being Annoying: Don't have the book in front of me just at the moment, unfortunately. There's a real gem of a chat between him and the federal agent where he acts like a dick and doesn't apologize for having given the feds a runaround.

    Later Stus from Grisham's books aren't quite as annoying, like Rudy Baylor in Rainmaker or Patrick Lanigan in The Partner.

    Heck, even Jake Brigance in A Time To Kill wasn't this bloody obnoxious. The prosecutor more than made up for that by being such an over-the-top jackass as to be a caricature of prosecutors generally.

    A fanfic summary I wanted to share
     Forgotten by taylorlautnerloverr
    What if Luke hadn't gone through the Portal with Clary in City of Glass? What if she would have forgotten everything? Even Jace? Read and find out! I suck at summaries, lol. Rated T. JxC

    All I could think when I read 'What if she have [sic] forgotten everything? Even Jace?', I felt a sudden surge of glee and joy. snerk Imagine, an end to the incest. Oh, glorious day!

    Further glee was gained from this summary:

    I Will Leave You Tonight by jay-bird95 reviews
    A letter Jace leaves Clary saying goodbye

    Oh, HECK YES! Party at my place to celebrate!

    On a related note, we all know fanfiction is notorious for being loaded with 'Sues and the fandom has plenty of 'Mary Sue shows up at the Institute and sets her sights on Jace' fics, which means you have a Mary Sue pushing a Mary Sue (Clary) out of the way, or at least trying to. What would be the Sparklypoo equivalent in this fandom, because I think it's time for the New York City division to open for business. ;D

    Sporkings of all Three Novels in the 'Mortal Instruments' Trilogy
     For anyone who's interested, links to all the sporkings in one convenient location. [info]gehayi and a friend sporked City of Bones and I sporked City of Ashes and City of Glass.  Enjoy!


    City of Bones

    City of Ashes--Part One
    City of Ashes--Part Two--I'm not sure if I corrected it, but I am aware I got a few things wrong about canine joints (it'll make sense when you read that part).

    City of Glass--Part One
    City of Glass--Part Two
    City of Glass--Part Three

    ETA: I found this picture in CC's blog, from some big MI gathering:



    If you can't read what's on her hand it says 'If Jace was my brother...I'd want him too...'

    So if your brother was hot, you'd be all for shagging him.  *turns green and *

    My two cents, left in her blog:

    First comment here, in reference to the picture of what the girl wrote on her hand:

    That clearly must be a common sentiment, or you wouldn't have posted it, in which case I am now very, very disturbed, not to mention nauseated by the idea that thousands of people worldwide don't see any problem with incest as long as the sibling is good-looking. O_o

    Has anyone reported Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket?
     She's the perfect protagonist who is so perfect. She does have flaws; she's extremely stupid and clumsy, but they are oh-so-endearing! It's so ohmigosh cute~
    The secret of the Sohma family is protected at all cost, and if someone ever finds out they have their memories erased, but not Tohru because she's so special! Every Sohma she comes into contact with have their wounds and scars automatically healed, and by just having a conversation with her.

    Also, what kind of moron would go live in a tent in the middle of nowhere? How irresponsible.

    She reminds me of Bella from Twilight

    Maybe Not the Right Community to Post the News In But...
     I don't have a journalfen account so I can post it in fandomlounge. Someone wanna help a sister out with an account...or post the news up there? Anyway...

    Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments Series will be made into a movie trilogy. The news broke just now at her Bryant Park Meet Greet and Sign. Read it on someone's twitter (who's at the event).

    Right now they have a screenwriter and funding but no casting yet. But the deal's obviously already been made.

    Um...lol. Fanon!Draco given flesh. Thoughts?

    Also in lesser news Simon gets a book and all the series will be adapted into graphic novels by Third World Studios.

    I guess...I don't even know how I feel about it honestly. She's been able to get away with so much over the years - rather, she's been rewarded for it. Just makes it feel like there's no point in working hard when you can steal other people's work, slap together a sloppy series with shallow characters and cliches everywhere...and get a movie deal. Oh well. Been there, done that with Twilight (in fact this sort of thing has been going on for ages so it's nothing new). As for me this just makes me want to work harder to get my stuff out there, even if it's never as popular (because it's not like I have a BNF name to ride on or anything lol).

    Annoy, tiny blonde one! Annoy like the wind!
     Title of Work: Veronica Mars
    Author: Rob Thomas

    Full Name, including titles: Veronica Mars
    Full Species: Human
    Hair Colour (include adjectives): Blonde
    Eye Colour: Blue, I think, or green. I don't know.
    Unusual Markings/Colourations: Ummm... Her eyes are kind of close together if that counts.
    Special Possessions/Pets: A multitude of government-level tracking devices and such equipment. Just like every 17-year-old, financially underpriveleged high school kid. And a pit bull called Backup who'll attack anyone but her.
    Annoying Sidekicks: A crowd of classmates and cops who are always willing to do her bidding, even when it could put their jobs at stake.
    Annoying Origin: Her alcoholic mother's womb.

    ( This one's a teensy bit long. )

    Excerpt from Cassie Clare's Next Novel is Up Online
     I have it saved to Word on my computer and I'll be sporking it soon. *G* If anyone's interested in playing Round One of 'Spot the Anachronism', head on over to this page on the Infernal Devices site. If there are other Costume History Nazis around, let me know what you think of the character drawings.

    Winged Banality: Bloom, the God Mode Sue.
     In case nobody has seen fit to spork the Winx Club yet, I'd like to submit this entry:

    Title of Work: Winx Club

    Author: Iginio Straffi

    Full Name: Princess Bloom of Planet Domino (or Sparx depending on which translation you follow)

    ( Irritant from another planet )

    Arthurian Sue ahoy!
     I have wanted to report this character ever since I first found this community, as she is quite possibly the worse canon Sue I have ever encountered on my own, and I don’t believe she’s been reported. Also note I am woefully under-informed when it comes to Arthurian legends, so all my accusations here are based purely on this book, but since I have never heard of this character elsewhere, I’m guessing her Mary Sue-ness is unique to this book alone. This wouldn’t be surprising given what the author does to Mordred of all people.

    Title of Work: I Am Mordred
    Author: Nancy Springer

    Full Name, including titles: Nyneve
    ( Read more... )

    Edited to expand the first snip because I forgot a part.

    City of Glass Sporking--Part Three
     I'm working on another Mortal Instruments-related post, and when I tried to find this chunk in my LJ, I realized with much horror I had never posted it. *gaspshockaghast* So, without further ado, here be Part Three.

    Ahhotep, Queen of Freedom, "the Egyptian Joan of Arc"

    Title of Work: Queen of Freedom Trilogy (Empire of Darkness, The War of the Crowns, The Flaming Sword)
    Author: Christian Jacq

    Full Name, including titles: Ahhotep, Queen of Freedom, Wife of God, “the Egyptian Joan of Arc”
    Full Species(es): Pluckyus Always-Rightus Perfectus Heroineus Deus Incarnatus
    Hair Colour (include adjectives): "beautiful brown hair”
    Eye Colour: "flashing green eyes”

    ( This is the worst book series I have EVER had the misfortune to read... )

    Jondalar of the Zelandonii

    Jondalar

    Title of Work: Earth's Children Series (Clan of the Cave Bear, The Valley of Horses, The Mammoth Hunters, The Plains of Passage, and The Shelters of Stone)
    Author: Jean Auel

    Full Name, including titles: Jondalar of the Zelandonii, brother of Joharran, leader of the Ninth Cave, blessed of Doni
    Full Species(es): Cave-manus Sex-godus, Prizus Stallionus, Bigus Dickus
    Hair Colour (include adjectives): "sun-bleached”
    Eye Colour: "overwhelming vivid blue”, “startling”, “expressive, compelling, impossible blue eyes, that could set a woman’s heart racing with one glance”, "his eyes in the firelight were deep violet”, “luminous violet”
    Unusual Markings/Colourations: “Well-built”, “When Jondalar stood up to his full six foot six inches, he towered”, “bronzed”, “muscles rippling”, “powerful chest of blond curls”, “hard stomach”, “his legs all strength and sinew”, “his face was almost too perfect: strong square jaw, straight nose, sensual mouth... his features were so finely moulded and proportioned that he’d be thought beautiful if he weren’t so masculine... even his hands were strong and sensitive” (yeesh, enough already!)
    Special Possessions/Pets: The spear-thrower, which he invents, Racer, his tamed horse.
    Annoying Sidekicks: At first, his younger brother Thonolan, who is actually quite interesting and likable as a character when he’s not pestering his brother for tips on Pleasuring women... later Jondalar becomes the sidekick.
    Annoying Origin: Somewhere in southern France... he has forbidden love with the woman who gave him his own First Rites and got punished for it (ANGST!)... then he screws his way across Europe with barely-teens up to mothers-of-teens ready to show him a good time and falling at his feet. All the while angsting that he just can’t seem to fall in love with any of them because he’s pining for a woman who’s as fresh as her First Rites with none of the fear and all of the eagerness of experience, and who can perform the impossible feat of accommodating his sizable “manhood” (SOB!). Finally he meets “perfect” Ayla and acts like a thick-as-a-brick, clingy, limpet-like idiot from there on out.


     

    ( Gary-Stu sex god AND thick as two planks? You'd better believe it... )

    Oh dear.
     Title of Work: Doctor Who; Planet of the Dead
    Author: Russel T. Davies and another writer--but for this I'm blaming Davies, simply because I guessed that he had written the episode after watching and, and upon looking it up, found out I was right. And she was the reason why I guessed, and guessed right. Yeaaaaaah...

    Full Name, including titles: Lady Christina de Souza. Seriously.
    Full Species(es): Human. Noble human.
    Hair Colour (include adjectives): Black
    Eye Colour: Blue? I'm guessing.
    Unusual Markings/Colourations: N/A
    Special Possessions/Pets: A backpack that conveniently holds everything the characters need at the time. I'm not sure why a master thief needs a shovel and a hammer, however.
    Annoying Sidekicks: I saw her boyfriend getting carted off to jail at the start of the episode. I'm sure he made a fine sidekick.

    Annoying Origin: Earth. Russel T. Davies' fantasies. D;
    ( Davies has done it again )

    Current Mood: irritated
    Current Music: City of Delusion - Muse

    Has anyone done Ayla or Jondalar from Jean M. Auel's series?
     Hi everyone, I've been watching this LJ for a long time but I just felt utterly compelled to join so that I could report on what has to be the worst canon sue I have ever had the misfortune of coming across in my entire life!

    First I would just like to ask if anyone has actually reported the characters of Ayla or Jondalar from the Earth's Children series before?

    If not, believe me I will gladly and gleefully right up the report myself!

    Current Mood: nauseated
