A writing ramble

( TDC backstory, some of you have heard this already. )

I love how Isyllt, who was once a real Sue, has turned into my attempt to examine the greater Sueiverse. (Particularly the Sues of Carey & LKH) I love how I get to pull the rug of expectations out from under readers where Isyllt and Kiril are concerned. (This happened in Crepuscule too, and I giggle every time. It is not at all a matter of sloppy readers, but just reader assumptions that I quickly shoot with an elephant gun.)

I appear to be feeling a lot of book-love today. This probably means it's about to turn on me, doesn't it?

Can anyone think of some other Sues who might be interesting to take apart with a sharp stabbity knife? I don't mean House Sparklypoo fanfic Sues, but books which are otherwise interesting and/or of merit but which suffer from a bad case of Sue.

I was too hungry before lunch, and then ate too much at lunch. Foolish meatpuppet. Now my brain doesn't work.

I'm on a crazy critting spree--lock up your stories! People on my flist have already suffered, and more may be caught in the crazy crit wave. Flee while you can.

The line is so fine between hoping and hurting

When they run out of plot, spies go shopping.
