*grumble* My computer has decided it will not connect to the internet between 8:00 and 9:00 AM. Beats me why not. I'm on my sister's uber-slow old 486 in the basement.
TITLE: Owl Eyes
PERPETRATOR: white owl
SUE-O-METER: (how bad is it?)
FULL NAME: Lucinda Lee
SPECIES: Human/Witch
HAIR: not described
EYES: not described
MARKINGS: none so far
POSESSIONS: none so far
ORIGIN: Poor little Mary-Sue... she's 15 but this is her first year at wizarding school... Hogwarts was the only school that would take her, because she's blind. *sniffle sniffle sob* Oh, the ANGST of it all! The ANGST!
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: Hermione's new best friend
SPECIAL ABILITIES: None so far
NOTES: Wasn't 'Lucinda Lee' a character from Lois and Clark?
As far as characterization goes, this fic actually isn't too bad... Hermione's being a know-it-all, Draco a brat, and Snape a bitter old jerk - stereotypical characterizations are honestly better than none at all. The story is written in first person but wanders between present and past tense, and every chapter opens with a piece of mercifully short but painfully bad poetry.
The worst sin it commits, however, is pity-whoring... oh, the poor little blind Mary-Sue! Not to mention a rather disgusting over-romanticization of blindness. Why do I get the feeling that somebody's been watching Daredevil?
