Thus ends Draco's Twin Sister Week. Six days left to vote in the Golden Bubotuber Awards!

TITLE: Crossed Lovers
PERPETRATOR: Willow4Ever2488

SUE-O-METER: (bad)

FULL NAME: Tara Isabella Malfoy
SPECIES: Human/Witch
HAIR: 'silver blond hair'
EYES: 'she had dark beautiful blue warm eyes, while her brother and father had cold gray eyes'
MARKINGS: none mentioned
POSESSIONS: Muggle duds and a house-elf named Bubbles.

ORIGIN: Yet another random Nice Malfoy Twin.
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: Draco's sister. Judging from tht title, I can probably append 'falls for Harry' to that, even though there's only one chapter just yet.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: none mentioned.

NOTES: I don't think we've ever had such a monotonous theme week... sisters of Harry at least have a little variety to them. Hopefully, next week will not be quite so boring.

SAMPLE: ( Looks Like Hermione Will Have A New SPEW Member )

I will try to get the polls up tonight. Here to entertain you in the mean time is another 'one of Draco's many sister'.

TITLE: Something Wicked This Way Comes (and it's a bad fanfic)
PERPETRATOR: sweetangel22

SUE-O-METER: (bad)

FULL NAME: Julianna Malfoy
SPECIES: Human/Witch
HAIR: 'honey blond hair'
EYES: they seem to be green, and usually have tears in them.
MARKINGS: none mentioned
POSESSIONS: none mentioned

ORIGIN: Draco's twin who has been going to Beauxbatons for her first six years. The family wanted to keep her hidden, since she's such an embarrassment being not-evil and all. But now it's time for her to fall in love with Harry, so she's transferred to Hogwarts and sorted into Gryffindor.
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: Draco's sister, in love with Harry. Is it me, or have I hardly touched this section all week?
SPECIAL ABILITIES: none mentioned.

NOTES: You know, I'm starting to really wonder what the point of Draco's-Sister-Sues is. There are only two types of them: the good!twinSue, who pisses off her whole family by getting sorted into Gryffindor and being not!evil, falls in love with Harry and saves her twin from the clutches of Voldemort. Then there's the evil!twinSue, who has even less of a plot and just hangs around being evil. Unless she also falls in love with Harry and saves her twin from the clutches of Voldemort.

Which leaves me wondering... Sue Authors tend to read each other's fics a lot, right? I mean, somebody's gotta be leaving those gushing positive reviews. So why don't we see way more accusations of plagiarism as they all accuse each other of stealing their o-so-original ideas?

Maybe there's some massive conspiracy behind all this, and when they join they're given a list of plots and told not to stray from it. That's got to be the explanation.

SAMPLE: ( She Can't Even Seem To Decide What Her Fic's Title Is )

I'm baaaack! I lied to about four customs agents today. Go me. ( And here's one for the Slayers fans in the audience... )

And here's the Sue. All else can wait for tomorrow:

TITLE: Currently titleless
PERPETRATOR: beanalu82

SUE-O-METER: (awful)

FULL NAME: Brook Malfoy
SPECIES: Human/Witch
HAIR: not described - blonde, I suppose.
EYES: not described, could be gray.
MARKINGS: none mentioned
POSESSIONS: none mentioned

ORIGIN: Is 'one of Draco’s many sister', which cracks me up. Transferred in from 'the Proper Boarding School of witchcraft'.
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: Draco's sister, in love with Harry... we've heard all this.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: making Dumbledore massively out of character.

NOTES: Maybe it's just that I'm tired and my brain feels fuzzy, but this just didn't annoy me enough to merit a toxic.

Which is certainly not to say that it doesn't blow goats.

SAMPLE: ( The Pit Needs A Lost And Found For Misplaced Quotation Marks. )

Aaaaand last one. No more Sues until Sunday! Hooray!

Nag nag nagitty nag. Nag.

TITLE: I Will Rock You
PERPETRATOR: Goddess Plutonia (Goddess of what? Radioactivity?)

SUE-O-METER: (bad)

FULL NAME: Hermione Mackenzie Malfoy. W.T.F.
SPECIES: Human/Witch
HAIR: 'Her hair was a cascade of brown curls, falling to her waist.'
EYES: 'He looked into her eyes, her gorgeous almond brownie-colored eyes, and saw the universe.'
MARKINGS: none mentioned
POSESSIONS: A drum set and two sets of drumsticks in different colours. Maybe she wants to coordinate them with her outfits?

ORIGIN: Umm... all righty, let me see if I can figure this one out. The summary tells us Hermione is Draco's twin sister who transfers to Hogwarts from Durmstrang in everyone's seventh year. Harry and Draco haven't gotten along, but when Hermione gets sorted into Gryffindor, will she and Harry become friends, or maybe more? Er. Okay. She plays the drums, which is really convinient because Harry and Ron just happen to be a band who needs a new drummer. Wow, what are the odds?
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: Draco's sister, in love with Harry, is possibly supposed to bear some vague resemblance to that nerdy chick from the books... what was her name? Hermia?
SPECIAL ABILITIES: none mentioned

NOTES: I adore the title of this one. It makes me think of all these Sues lined up dancing in unison and singing Queen songs. Awesome.

This probably merits an 'awful', but it's just too funny... the entire 'band' thing combined with the purple - excuse me, luscious velvety violet - prose will have me laughing the rest of the day.

SAMPLE: ( Boom-Boom-Ssssh! Boom-Boom-Ssssh! )

Three down, one to go... this is spoiling my appetite, here.

Nagitty nag nag naggy.

TITLE: Malfoy's Twin: Voldemort's Prey (oh, goody!)
PERPETRATOR: Miss Malfoy4 (I'm darn sure there're more than four of them)

SUE-O-METER: (bad)

FULL NAME: Vienna Malfoy. That's slightly more plausible than 'Kirsten' or 'Brooke'.
SPECIES: Human/Witch
HAIR: 'dead-straight silvery blonde hair that spilled past her shoulders, right down to her lower back'
EYES: 'But it was her eyes that Harry noticed the most. They were stern and steely grey, and looked like the still surface of a deep pool, he thought. Mysterious but kind'
MARKINGS: none mentioned
POSESSIONS: Muggle clothes that she wears under her school robes.

ORIGIN: Used to go to Durmstrang. Now she's going to Hogwarts because her parents wanted her closer to home. These Sues really need to come up with some better excuses. Sorted into Gryffindor.
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: Draco's sister, crush on Harry... I might not have to change this field all week.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: none mentioned

NOTES: She cries when she's sorted into Gryffindor, and Draco runs over and hugs her. I'm pretty sure even the Sue is OOC there, since I doubt Lucius Malfoy would raise his children to think that crying is permissable behavior, even the girls.

There's an awful lot of hugging in this fic, actually. At one point, Ron and Harry both try to hug the Sue at once. I wonder if this author has personal space issues.

SAMPLE: ( Noooo! Not Gryffindor! )

Don't forget to nominate. *nag nag nag*

TITLE: Harry Potter & Brooke Malfoy
PERPETRATOR: Flaire Delacour with Faith

SUE-O-METER: (bad)

FULL NAME: Brooke Malfoy, naturally.
SPECIES: Human/Witch
HAIR: 'long golden hair'
EYES: 'the icy blue eyes that ran through the Malfoy family'
MARKINGS: none mentioned
POSESSIONS: 'glistening silver robes with the Malfoy crest on.'

ORIGIN: Who knows. She just pops up on the Hogwarts Express one day. Like a fungus.
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: Draco's sister, is going to be in a love triangle with Cho and Harry. Yadda.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: none mentioned

NOTES: Harry says (or at least thinks) 'woah momma' in this story. Hee hee hee.

Here we have again with the older stories, I suppose. Judging from the fact that the author seems completely ignorant of both book five (in which Harry and Cho discover that they just don't work together) and book four (in which we learn that Cho was Cedric Diggory's girlfriend), I figured this one had to be pretty darn old... but no, it was first posted in July 2003.

Then I realized that I was expecting a Sue Author to have read the books. I suppose I ought to be grateful she even knows who Cho Chang is. As the folks on fandom_wank like to say, there I go with the Earth Logic again.

SAMPLE: ( This Is My Sister. She's A Mary-Sue, But You Could Probably See That For Yourself. )

All righty... I'm off to ACen tomorrow and have a lot to do today, so in addition to posting the Thursday Sue now, I will also be posting Friday's, Saturday's, and Sunday's Sues. Don't read them all at once or you'll spoil your appetites.

The Pottersues Minion Group Photo will be taken at 1:00 PM Sunday at the bottom of the escalators in the main lobby of the Hyatt Regency O'Hare. Don't forget your masks, bandanas, or paper bags! No recognizable faces will be allowed in the photo. We hide behind the anononymity of the internet for a reason, folks. ~_^

There are four days left to get the nominations in. Since I'll be away, I'll be counting up the rest of them and putting the polls online when I get back, meaning voting probably won't start until Monday or Tuesday, rather than Sunday as it would if I were here.

Oh, and this week is Draco's Twin Sister Week.

TITLE: Split Opinion
PERPETRATOR: Spurious-nb

SUE-O-METER: (awful)

FULL NAME: Kirsten Malfoy, AKA Bianca de Lioncourt. Bitch, please.
SPECIES: Human/Witch
HAIR: 'spiral curled naturally bleach blond hair'
EYES: Probably gray.
MARKINGS: the dark mark.
POSESSIONS: none mentioned

ORIGIN: Draco's twin sister, younger by two hours. Lucius likes her better than Draco because she's a 'true' Malfoy while her brother's a little wuss. She's been going to Beauxbatons under a pseudonym, but now the plot says it's time to send her to Hogwarts!
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: Draco's sister etc. Lucius sexually abuses her.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: a French boyfriend her father doesn't approve of.

NOTES: I shouldn't giggle when the Mary-Sue moans, "father, please, this is incest!" I really shouldn't...

SAMPLE: ( This Whole Thing Is Just Hysterical, Actually. )
