And the last entry for Disney-Sue week:

TITLE: Wendy
PERPETRATOR: Harriett

SUE-O-METER: BAD (bad)

FULL NAME: Wendy Maria Roswelle
SPECIES: Human/Witch
HAIR: 'I brushed my long waist length brown hair and put it up in a messy bun.'
EYES: 'I popped in my contacts in to my large green eyes.'
MARKINGS: none mentioned
POSESSIONS: a raven named Jessie, who brings her mail. A rich bonus-Sue friend named Gwen. Nifty furniture.

ORIGIN: Her mother was killed, supposedly in a drive-by shooting but actually by Voldemort, when our Sueoine was eight. Her father appears to be some kind of friend of Sirius Black's (as he was REALLY SCARILY HAPPY when Sirius broke out of Azkaban).
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: none so far, besides her Dad being a friend of Sirius'.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: none so far.

NOTES: Just another 'let's-barf-up-the-entire-letter-getting-and-shopping-sequence' Sue.

I'm going to be out this evening, so Disney-Sue Number Six here will be super-duper early.

TITLE: The Orsickle (da wha?)
PERPETRATOR: spectra2 (who also has a Highlander Sue)

SUE-O-METER: AWFUL (awful)

FULL NAME: Esmerelda
SPECIES: ???
HAIR: not described
EYES: not described
MARKINGS: none mentioned
POSESSIONS: a 'radiant purple cape'

ORIGIN: Unknown. Possibly an alien.
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: Some friend of Dumbeldore's, is training Harry.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: She is a 'sorceress'. They are known as mythological beings and prefer to stay that way. They are known to be the top of magic creation/control, but that is a common mistake for there are always being more powerful. She also stated that there are maybe 20-30 sorcerers in this galaxy and they are virtually immortal, they can change there age and appearance at will so unless they want to die they wont die. Harry is also a 'sorcerer' and she's going to be training him to use his 1337 p0w3rz.

NOTES: There's a bonus-Stu hanging around in the shape of some guy named Blackwood, who is 'the new dark lord' or something. I'm confused.

SAMPLE: As Usual, Harry Ends Up In His Cupboard With A Mary-Sue... )

Our fifth Disney-Sue.

TITLE: Jasmine Potter, found at last
PERPETRATOR: LaurRAHRox

SUE-O-METER: TOXIC (toxic)

FULL NAME: Jasmine Lei Potter. Lei?
SPECIES: Human/Witch
HAIR: I'm guessing auburn.
EYES: 'gentle green eyes'
MARKINGS: 'brillantly white, even, straight teeth' - it's the Crest Whitestrips Sue!
POSESSIONS: Beauty beyond the lot of mortals. This is going to be a plot point.

ORIGIN: She's Harry's sister, two years older. Voldemort killed the rest of the Potters but was going to have Peter Pettigrew raise Jasmine in secret, and when she grew up Voldemort would marry her (because she was destined to be the most beautiful woman in the world). So Peter left her on the DeLacour's doorstep, and she was raised by their family. This gets weirder, so read the sample.
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: Harry's sister, raised by Fleur's family, everybody adores her, Voldemort wants her, etc. Will probably be paired with Draco.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: is an 'enchantress', and the Wizard's Encyclopedia lists her as one of the five most beautiful things that have ever existed. No, really.

NOTES: I actually enjoyed this fic. It's so amazingly over-the-top that it goes beyond the badness into the same realm of train-wreckish entertainment as Ed Wood movies: Jasmine's backstory, the indescribably absurd justification for why she's so gorgeous and talented, her French accent (the only thing reviewers have complained about)... it's a great big slice of Mary-Sue angel cake with a strawberry on top, and I love it!

SAMPLE: I'm Almost Tempted To Give This A Good Review... )

Disney-Sue Number Four... I couldn't find a 'Cinderella', so here's a just plain 'Ella'.

TITLE: Snape in Love (at least it's not an AU, 'Snapespeare in Love'. Actually, that'd be funny...)
PERPETRATOR: rickfan37

SUE-O-METER: AWFUL (awful)

FULL NAME: Ella Redemte
SPECIES: Human/Witch
HAIR: not described
EYES: not described
MARKINGS: none mentioned
POSESSIONS: none mentioned

ORIGIN: Her parents were killed by Voldemort. Now she works in the Hogwarts library catalogueing books about Muggles and Potions, as if these are somehow related (and the author insists that they are).
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: friends with Lupin. Waxes purply-poetic about the unspeakable sex appeal of Snape, who saves her life after she's bitten by a random snake. Sirius is hanging around for some reason.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: none mentioned

NOTES: The author's bio says she's in her 30's and crazy about Alan Rickman. Why am I not surprised?

Third Disney-Sue.

TITLE: Why Can't I Just Be Normal? (because you're a Mary-Sue, dear.)
PERPETRATOR: alexpotter

SUE-O-METER: AWFUL (awful)

FULL NAME: Ariel
SPECIES: Human/Witch
HAIR: red, and it tangles until she learns to stop it doing so by magic.
EYES: not described
MARKINGS: none mentioned
POSESSIONS: none mentioned

ORIGIN: Unknown. The kids at school call her 'mermaid'. Oh, how mean.
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: none mentioned
SPECIAL ABILITIES: none mentioned

NOTES: In her bio, the author claims that she is the true Alex Potter, and somebody named AlexPotter1 is impersonating her. It has apparently never occured to her that 'Alex Potter' really isn't a difficult handle to come up with... we've had, what, two of them so far?

Chapter Two is called 'Nothing Much', which is appropriate since it is less than 100 words long. No, really - dig it.

SAMPLE: How Meeeeeeeean. )

Disney-Sue Week, day two. You're gonna love this one.

TITLE: Seduce and Destroy (I dunno about you, but I'm already snickering)
PERPETRATOR: Lilu

SUE-O-METER: BAD (bad)

FULL NAME: Aurora Borealis. That'sa right. Aurora Borealis. Aurora Borealis!
SPECIES: Human/Witch
HAIR: not described - I'm guessing it's black.
EYES: 'large, black eyes'
MARKINGS: there's repeated mention of her hands and feet being 'white'. Oh, and the author describes her by saying: 'Her looks were reminiscent of the Muggle fairy-tale princess, Snow White, but were far more sinister.'
POSESSIONS: Nifty wardrobe - which, for once, isn't all jeans and spaghetti strap shirts. But somehow, clingy red dresses and shiny black boots aren't really much better...

ORIGIN: Some minion of Voldemort's, send to Hogwarts to spy on Snape. I'm guessing she's going to end up in bed with him at some point, and probably decide that they're soul mates and turn to the side of Good and Right instead of killing him. Evil-Sues have no conviction...
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: none mentioned
SPECIAL ABILITIES: see above.

NOTES: It is unfortunate that this is the only piece this particular author has posted - it would actually be pretty darn good if it weren't for the Sue, and I'd be interested in seeing what she's like when not writing about beautiful servants of Voldemort. I'd have given the story an 'okay', except my conscience will not allow me to 'okay' any author who expects to be taken seriously after naming her Mary-Sue 'Aurora Borealis'.

So much for Jewel-Sue week. Let's move on! This week is Disney-Sue week!

TITLE: Belle Singe the 1st year
PERPETRATOR: K5 (so is that one higher or lower than Everest?)

SUE-O-METER: AWFUL (awful)

FULL NAME: Belle Singe
SPECIES: Human/Witch
HAIR: 'long blonde hair'
EYES: not described
MARKINGS: none mentioned
POSESSIONS: Ron

ORIGIN: Is 'from France or something'. It only takes about two nanoseconds for her to drain Ron of any personality and make him her drooling slave.
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: none mentioned
SPECIAL ABILITIES: see above.

NOTES: The Sue Force is strong with this one. The characterization, on the other hand, is weak. As is the prose. And just about anything else you can think of.

The story makes no mention of how old the characters are. I'm hoping this is set in Harry & co's second year, because otherwise Ron's interest in a 1st year is just a tad bit freaky.
