Hey, I found another fic if anyone's interested. It's called Princess Shadowfire and the Ring of Doom. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4629899/1/Prin...he_Ring_of_Doom

It's a 10th Walker and UBER-Sue, with three sequels (gah!) filled with mediocre grammar and spelling. I'd spork it, but this Suethor's already out for my blood after I called her OC a Sue. If no one else wants this, I'll spork it and just hope to hell the author never finds out where I live.

Any takers?

I'm already working on that one. And have been for the past four months. Someone can do the sequels though!

Oh, good thing I asked! Yeah, I'll take on a sequel.... (Have you posted your version? I'd highly enjoy seeing a spork of that :))

Not yet. I was trying to finish Something about those Eyes before posting any new ones. I only have the first two chapters sporked anyway. Drizzt is fit to be tied and will probably go mad by the end of it.

Lol, are you going to give the author a link here?

The author for Shadowfire? No stinkin' way! I like living!!! I'm already afraid of what'll happen if she ever finds out where I live! LOL

I'll pass. She sounds like an evil person to me.

Ah, Shadowfire. I tried to tell her through a very long review that her character is a Sue, but the author's in denial about it, her excuse being that it's a crossover with Dungeon and Dragons or something like that. She tried to get me to read and review her stories. After that first chapter and that long review, I don't think I'm going to attempt that again.

I love how Suethors think that just by saying "It's AU!" or "It's a crossover!" it absolves them of, you know, creating a decent character or adhering to canon.

Oddly enough, that's the same thing she said to me when I told her that her OC was a Sue. (Then she called my OC a Sue. :angry: ) I made the mistake of reviewing her first few chapters, I think I'm missing a couple of brain cells now... Gah, some Suethors!

AUs and crossovers give some leeway, but not that much. The funny thing about the Suethor excuses, as far as crossovers are concerned, is that the story isn't so much a crossover as a Mary Sue for two fandoms. They should know that with crossovers, the best way is to only change what needs to be changed. Adding a super powerful/important OC is the worst thing that one can do in a crossover.

And yet the route most of these girls take. That's why I like your crossovers, Tel.

Thanks, Mac. (Just as well you haven't read my earliest 'crossovers'. They were full of uber-Sues. :P)

Don't worry. We've all created them. I allow anyone who wants to the right to spork my Phantom phics. They have Sues, Raoul is ebul and unfaithful to Christine plots.
