When 'Sues Strike Back
Chapter 1
Brittany was having a bad day. It had started when she woke up a half-hour early, due to a wasp on her pillow. Then she had nearly missed the bus, as she wanted to get the chapter to her newest fanfiction finished. When she did get on the bus, she realized that she had left her CD player at home. Then there was a test or quiz in every class except Biology, where she had left her textbook in her locker, along with her hall pass.
At lunch, she found the library closed. It also happened to be the only place where she could get to a computer to type her paper, due in English, fifteen minutes later. Of course, the teacher didn't accept late work, and she got a zero on the fifty-point assignment. All she wanted was to get home to a few nice reviews.
"This is a completely horrible, twisted Mary-Sue. I hope the PPC burns your Sue to ashes. I know I would. She is absolutely disgusting! Don't you know anything, Suethor?"
Brittany looked the flame with rage in her eyes. Her face burned with anger. She had spent over an hour developing this chapter! Then she caught the phrase about the PPC.
"Who are they?" she asked herself. She searched for the PPC on MSN, but only turned up with ads for church and photography. Then she added Sue as a search term. She immediately got hits about Mary-Sues, and Protectors of the Plot Continuum. She clicked on a link.
"We are the under-paid, hard-working employees who regularly convert, kill, and report the evil beings known as Mary-Sues. They are the girls that always get the guys, are always perfect, and always are so implausible they make you sick. Beware of them. And DOOM to those who make them up!"
"Oh, yeah? Well, we'll just see how strong and bad you guys are," Brittany said to herself, as she made plans to make the Ultimate Sue. One that would rule the fanfiction world!
