Sue #2!

TITLE: Blindsight
PERPETRATOR: ty_slogana
SUE-O-METER: (awful)

FULL NAME: Fleur Delacour
SPECIES: Witch/ part-Veela
HAIR: not described, presumably long and blonde
EYES: not described, presumably blue. Her eyelids however are described as "the last sentinels"
MARKINGS: none described
POSSESSIONS: Everything but it leaves her feeling hollow; tons of self-loathing and a pity party for one. Agile fingers

ORIGIN: Somewhere in France
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: Is apparently Fleur.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: Is curiously strong, can disassociate herself from her identity, really can seduce anyone including Hermione. Without Hermione realizing who it is. (I'd also like to mention that at the time, Hermione is pretending to be Fleur so...make of that what you will)

NOTES: It's an interesting idea, but the prose is so over the top purple that it's hard to find any of it titillating. Also it reminds me a lot of that Friends episode where Ross is reminiscing about his first kiss with Rachel, but it turns out he kissed Monica instead....I think I'd rather watch that than read this again.

( My first instinct when walking into a room where someone is masturbating is generally not to join them )

Thank you Vorse for sending in today's Sue!

TITLE: Consider This
PERPETRATOR: Lady Animosity
SUE-O-METER: (bad)

FULL NAME: Fleur Delacour
SPECIES: Part-veela
HAIR: not mentioned, probably sexy
EYES: not mentioned, probably sexy
MARKINGS: none mentioned
POSSESSIONS: "that certain air that aroused the intense and primal desires of even the most conservative of men."

ORIGIN: A song called, "Consider This" by Filter. Fleur is the daughter of "the Baron de Delacour"
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: Fleur shows up at the Dark Lord's doorstep one day, wanting to help. Fleur has Lucius teach her how to interrogate people, by using sex. Then they realize it was a trick, and they execute her. She has cursed Lucius to want her for all eternity due to her veela powers.

TITLE: Fleur Delacour's Year of Living Dangerously
PERPETRATOR: Femme Teriyaki
SUE-O-METER: (troll)

FULL NAME: Fleur Delacour
SPECIES: Part-Veela
HAIR: blonde
EYES: blue
MARKINGS: is overweight due to American food. She is 5'7".
POSSESSIONS: She used to have six credit cards, then her parents took them away. She has a Pirates of the Caribbean DVD, and American cyber-boyfriend. She has a "new, business-like sweater".

ORIGIN: The diary of Fleur Delacour written Bridget Jones' style. Her parents sent her away for a year to be "Mugglefied" in America. This is the story of her "De-Mugglefication"
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: Is Fleur Delacour. Calls Hermione: "Bushy Haired Smart Girl Who Frightens and Hates Me". She gets to sit in on various classes before deciding which one to teach. Lusts after Harry Potter. Snape stares and winks at her, as does Draco.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: Is quite good a setting goals for herself.

NOTES: This is a great troll. It's so great that I'm going to call it a parody instead. It's 19 chapters, and I am not going to read 19 chapters for a parody Sue report.

( Too bad it's a parody, Fleur could be nominated for 'most OOC character - female'! )

Alright, since the Troll (hereafter referred to as 'Not-Bob', that being the name they gave her on fandom_wank) seems to have made herself at home in our dungeons and it might be a while until we can get Quirrel in to remove her, I think we need to start laying down some ( ground rules. )

Now, on to things with a slightly greater significance in the cosmos: somebody emailed me the other night and gave me a great idea... we'll do a 'Reader Sue Week'! Send me your Potter Sues. The ones you wrote when you were a whiny 14-year-old who thought that your parents not letting you wear lipstick was just the most tragic thing ever in the whole history of the world. Requests for anonymity will be honoured, but don't expect to like the pseudonyms I'll give you. ~_^

As for this week, I hereby declare it 'Rarely Sued Canon Character Week'. Yesterday we had a Cho-Sue. Today we have a Fleur-Sue that's actually quite readable... until the author drops an anvil on us.

TITLE: Love Never Expected
PERPETRATOR: Dragonflyer

SUE-O-METER: (okay)

FULL NAME: Fleur Delacour
SPECIES: Quarter-Veela/Witch
HAIR: 'her silvery blond hair glowing in its own radiant light', 'her long mane of silvery blond hair'
EYES: 'her dark blue eyes bright and alert'
MARKINGS: none mentioned
POSESSIONS: none mentioned

ORIGIN: Is Fleur Delacour
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: Betrothed to Legolas. Yup.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: Nightmares about something that happened when she was little. Doubtless this will be Plotness later on.

NOTES: Y'know, I hate to say it, but I actually rather like this. It's well-written, even if the descriptions are slightly snerkworthy, and I like the bit in which Fleur's mother (the author has taken the trouble to give Mr. and Mrs. Delacour real French names) reminds her of the downside of being part Veela.

Then Fleur's father tells her she's now betrothed to Legolas, and we drop straight into WTF-O-Meter terretory.

SAMPLE: ( Goodfic, Goodfic, Goodfic... CRASH! )
