A/N: Hello PJO fandom!

Nice to meet you. Before we get started, I want to tell you all the backstory for this particular fic because it's a little crazy. This is an adopted fic. Specifically, it's a fanfic of a fanfic of two fanfics.

Yeah. I know.

Once upon a time, a young fanfic author wrote two self-insert wish-fulfillment Mary Sue stories that covered PJO 1 and 2 (Fanfic 1&2). Neither were very good. (Though I thought Fanfic 2 had potential.)

Then the author (Alpha R) and her friend (Beta R) took those old fics and wrote a very meta sequel (Fanfic 3). This was the story I read years and years ago and it was a real gem. It was so good that I downloaded the whole series and eventually saved it on my Kindle.

In 2017, when I officially joined and started writing my own stories, I looked for Fanfic 3 again to leave a signed review, but apparently the authors had deleted the story and both of their accounts a while ago.

D:

But here's the kicker, in 2018 (before COVID-19 when you could meet people…), I met one of the authors (Specifically, Alpha R) in real life! And she gave me permission to edit and re-post this. So here we are at the Sue's Curse (Fanfic 4) and full fanfic-ception.

Still hanging on? Good.

I promise I'm gonna try to make this as clean as possible. There will be plenty of footnotes (look for the [#]) to catch you up on any details from Fanfic 1&2.[0] If you tolerated this author's note you should be good for the rest of the story.

Now that that is done. I only have two more things to say:

First, I want to thank Andrea (Alpha R) for giving me this opportunity, I hope I have the wits to use it.

Second, read and review!

Prologue 1: Excepts from PercyW/ Te's Sporking of Andromeda Sunshine and the Lighting Thief[1]

(Peter)

Chapter 1: I'm a Sad Orphan

Me: So, my internet friends said this story was bad, but how bad could it really be?

Andromeda Sunshine:

Me: That name…gag.

Andromeda Sunshine: I'm an orphan. I was abused and my life was sad. Instead of showing you, I'm going to look at a random mirror and talk about it with barely functional grammar and questionable spelling. I will also make sure you know that despite my sad sad backstory I'm hot. I mean a good person. I mean hot.

Me: Anything else?

Sueshine (No, that's not a typo. Her name is Sueshine now. I can take that more seriously): Did I mention that I was hot?

Me: Yes.

Sueshine: Well I'm still going to stand here and talk about how gorgeous, likeable, and sympathetic I am for the next 2047 words, so enjoy!

Me: I have many regrets.

Chapter 2: I Meet Grover

Grover: Hi Sueshine. Let's be friends and by friends, I mean that I want to fuck you because you're so hot. Drool…

Me: Et tu, Grover?

Sueshine: Yes! Let's be the bestest of friends! (but not really. I'm going to secretly bash you in my barely coherent thoughts to fulfil the author's agenda.)

Me: Why?

Author: Tyson is better than Grover

Me: Debatable, but fair.

Author: And so is Ron

Me: Ron? Who the hell is Ron?

Author: Oh, you know, Ron Weas-

Me: GET OUT!

Chapter 3: Gods, I'm dying

Me: Oh good. We are finally starting the plot. With a title like that, I'm sure this means that Sueshine will finally be challenged and…

Author: Challenge? What is this word you speak of?

Me: Challenge. It means that Sueshine is going to be faced with a difficult conflict.

Author: Oh that. I think I did that in the backstory. Do you want me to go over it again like I did in Chapter 2?

Me: NO! No thank you. Could you please just explain the title?

Author: Oh! Isn't it clever? :D Grover is like so annoying teehee

Me: Gods, I think I'm dying.

Author: I know right? Grover is the worst.

Me: Only two more chapters...

Chapter 4: I Think I'm in Love

Sueshine: Luke is like almost as hot as I am.

Me: That's…

Sueshine: We'd look so amazing together.

Me: Really?

Sueshine: Did I mention he was hot? Like I just met him, but I'd totally fuck him despite my tragic, mysterious, and oh so sad backstory.

Me: …

Sueshine: SO HOT!

Chapter 5: I'm really special

I promised myself that I'd stick to sporking, but I just can't. You need to hear this excerpt verbatim:

"Oh! I already know who my daddy is," I say, shyly.

"Who?" Luke and Grover said, eagerly.

"Yeah," Annabeth said as she lokes at her fingers.

"Zeus," I said with blush.

"Wow!" they all say, impressed. "That's cool. You're really special"

"I am?" I asked, wonderingly.

"Yeah," Annabeth said. "I'm willing to be your friend now."

I smiled happily. "Peachy!" I say happily.

Everyone, cheer! It was great being special.[2]

Yeah…Need I say more?

Look, I knew from what my friends told me that this fic was going to be bad, but this was absolute shit. When it isn't stealing sentences verbatim from the source material, it's…well you read the excerpt.

Honestly, the author should be ashamed. There is nothing "special" about Sueshine. She's a generic, overpowered fantasy who breezes through her "problems" if you want to call them that. The only thing saving my sanity and sense of decency is the fact I only promised to read 5 chapters. I am so ready to forget that this atrocity ever existed. I said as much in my review which will hopefully let people know that they can skip out on this insult to the canon.

Footnotes

[0] Yay! You're actually reading the footnotes. This was just a test, but thank you for playing. I promise the next footnote will be more informative.

[1] This is supposedly an excerpt from Peter's blog. However, it's actually just the authors poking fun at the first fic…I think. But this might also be real? And would make this fic a revenge fic. I'm not sure. I vaguely remember there being a review like the chapter 5 entry on the original Andromeda fic. However, I think that person might have had a different username. Also, I could not find a sporking blog like this anywhere, so your guess is as good as mine.

[2] I promise the writing in this fic is never this bad. It has improved a lot since Lightning Thief and of course I'm here to edit. However, you can see why I'm not reposting the first two stories. The effort that it would take to edit is just no. :/

Anyway, I read Fanfic 3 first and I only read the other two afterwards out of curiosity. So, I can say from personal experience that you don't need to read the other fics to enjoy this one. :)
