Heh! And ooops!  
So this ff.net search meme type thing? I did it a while back and no one likes the name Shona for some reason... So I tried Mara, fully expecting there to be either no results or some Star Wars crossovers. 15 found, most are actually by an author called Mara2 who puts "thanks, Mara" in all her summaries but the others?
  • Mara Hooch had two great loves in her love. What would she do to keep the both? What she did for her love of the game? Her love of the boy behind it all? I'm sorry, but Mara Hooch?! Of all the surnames this person could have chosen they went with Hooch?!
  • R to be safe for chapter 49. Crossover with Star Wars. Basically about Snape's daughter who disappears, is adopted by Luke and Mara, and returns to Hogwarts at 11. DMOC pairing. (Now that one I'd almost be interested in reading, but probably nit...)
  • And the ultimate. The Mary Sue to end all Mary Sues....

    From the first train ride, everyone at Hogwarts expects Mara to be as great (Or not-so-great in the Slytherins’ opinion, but who cares about them? No offense to all you Tom Felton worshippers.) as her dad, the infamous Harry Potter. Needless to say, she has a lot to live up to. Ever since Mara’s father killed Voldemort, things have been peaceful, but unexpectedly, a new evil starts arise. It’s target? Mara! Will she be able to show the world that she’s as good as her dad? Will she be able to stay alive?! Why am I asking you?! I’m the writer!!! To all you Fred and George Weasley and Marauder fans-READ!!!

    AN- To all you Harry/Ginny romancers, this is the story for you. Malfoy fans might also enjoy this fic. One more thing, I usually write Lily/James fics, so don’t be surprised if I write them into here at some point in time. Oh, and if you wonder why I used the name Mara, IT’S ‘CAUSE I HAPPEN TO LIKE THAT NAME!!!!!!!! DEAL WITH IT!!!!! Now that I’m done yapping (and I do it often, so please bear with me ), READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Punctuation is all the authors....Heh!

My half day that I took yesterday so I could get the River icons finished? (which - yay!) clashed with a course I was supposed to go to. Only found out this morning when I opened up Outlook and my reminder for it popped up... ooops. The course? Web Publishing Using Front Page. I think I'll somehow manage to struggle by having missed it!

I'm offended by her use of the word "yapping." I come from a long, proud line of Yapps, and we don't want to be in her fic summaries. Really. I've gone back and asked. Even the dead ones. They all agree. One tried to give me a long lecture on the pride of the Yapp name, or at least, I think he did. His lungs kind of fell out after a misguided attempt at a consonant.

Oh dear. I think I should sleep.

An abject lesson on why it's wrong to read the comments when I'm supposed to be working. Laughter is not easy to disguise any more. Either that or my boss will be setting up a quarantine area soon because this cough I have is obviously infectious!

I make with the funny sometimes when my brain cells are winking on and off in that netherworld of insomnia. I'm all too happy to amuse.

Now to go scrape Great-Uncle Jeremiah's jaw off the ground...

I believe in the case of the use of the last name Hooch they were showing a REAL lack of imagination...there's a character named Marla Hooch in "A League of Their Own."

Would you believe there are NO Mary Sue's named Gabrielle in the BTVS, LoTR, or HP fandoms? I am thrilled!

I have to say I'm actually quite surprised there's no Gabrielle Sue's out there! You have that kind of ramantic name I would have thought people would be falling over themselves to use. That's so not meant in any way other than positive by the way!

Now the thing is... I'm actually writing a fic myself featuring a character called Mara (so not me! I'm bringing in the character I took my screen name from, but how many people would believe that?) so if I were to upload that fic to ff.net I'd find my own name in the summary of my own fic... *g*

that would be 'romantic' not 'ramantic'

*headdesk*

That's a sweet thing to say! I'll tell my mom you think she chose a romantic name for me...she'll be pleased!

I know your work and you well enough to know that you would never write a Mary Sue, so at least one person will believe you!
