Yes, this is a sock puppet account. Note that I have included my e-mail if you want to flame me, and also that I am snarky as hell and enjoy your flames.

"Wait," I hear you cry. "If you like flames...why even bother with a sock puppet account?"

And the answer to that, my friends, is because I am sick and tired of worrying about every review alert that lands in my inbox.

Fiacre is the Roman Catholic saint of haemorrhaids, which says a lot about Catholics, really.

I tend to prowl the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Troy fandoms, having given up on PotC LONG ago.

Useful links:



I am afflaited, but not a member, of both these mary-sue hunting sites as well as the PPC.

I do not mean to sound pretentious, though I am aware that I must; if I say your character is a Mary Sue, I really do mean she is.

Common signs you're a godawful author:

You have "Not a Mary Sue!!!111!" or "R+R pls!" in your summary.

You consistantly fail to spellcheck.

You create mini-balrogs and other little critters because you can't be arsed to make sure you got the characters' names right..

In fandoms like LotR and Troy, you haven't read the source material and claim not to care.

When someone tries to offer you Constructive Criticism, you completely overreact and act like the CC'er has just insulted your mother. This is also known as being unable to seperate yourself from your work.

Your so-called OC who is, as above, "Not a MARY SUE!" has more than a paragraph devoted to her physical description. She is also telepathic/a shapeshifter/a genius/controls the weather/is a mix-race hybrid (ie, vampire/werewolf/human/elf/god)/can insult Zeus/Manwe/Voldemort and come out unscathed/is related to Zeus/Manwe/Voldemort (albeit that might be explainable with Zeus, the horny bastard)/is more powerful than Zeus/Manwe/Voldemort (which is frankly unrealistic)/causes the canon characters to act wildly out of character (ie soppy Draco, or ugly!stupid!Gimli)/disrupts canon relationships (ie killing off Arwen so she can have Aragorn)/all of the above and more.

Your idea of a good retort to a flamer is:

-If you don't like it, don't read it! (And we're supposed to know we won't like it...how?)
-UR MEAN! (And you're stupid. So what?)
-You're just jealous. (Of what?)
-Other people have worse stories! Why are you picking on mine!? (Okay, so the US should just drop dealing with ordinary murderers and focus solely on Osama, should they?)
-You're stifling my creativity! (Good.)
-You've got no life! (Awwww, look, now I must go and cry.)
-FCK U, BITCH! (Learn to spell, duckling.)
