Ahem. Dear Malia,

You are hereby charged with abusing my hair and eye colors, with having Bad!Angst, with being a pointless prisoner, with having an idiotically simplistic worldview, with deriding the concept of political debate, with being a Warrior!Sue, with being a mixed-breed, with having angst because you're different, with manipulating Visser Three, with being un-infestable, with still being valuable to the Yeerks, with being a shapeshifter, with having telepathic powers, with creating a nice Yeerk, with reading other people's minds without permission, with being a bitch, with being present at emotionally charged scenes (the death of Elfangor), and, most improtantly, with being a Mary Sue.

The punishment for these crimes is death. Bye. *guillotines* Hey, even shape-shifters can't stick their heads back on.

*bows* PPC training is for a lifetime, it seems.

Elrond and his council, John Adams and the other founders starring in "1776," and I would like to have a word concerning the boring nature of debate with this Sue.

I'm sure there are a few essays that could explain to this Suethor (and certain Star Wars/Trek authors, while we're at it...) about the natures of personality beyond speciesist sterotypes.

Then I have to beat her for not picking an excuse for angst (TM) and sticking with it.

Yuck. It is that bad.

There was a bunch of debate and boring stuff like that.

Translation: "I couldn't write decent dialogue to save my soul, so no extended discussion for you! And characters besides my Sue are so unkawaii, anyway."

And the pseudo-genetics nonsense makes me want to cry. A discussion of the definition of "species" would be wasted on Suethor, I suspect, but the idea of randomly being able to combine human and alien DNA rates, for me, right up there with the Cassie/Jake wolf-babies story. As for the mutant himself, well...it teeters right on the edge of possibility, I guess. I'd be a lot more comfortable with it if we had evidence of some ancestor with poisonous anythings, but I suppose it could happen with proper inbreeding and radiation exposure. Maybe. Anyway, he'd probably be sterile, and, if not, his offspring probably wouldn't make it even to birth. Not that I seriously believe the author considered it long enough to think of any of that - if she had wanted him to be a three-ton shark with lasers for eyes and ( ... )

(I need to add this to the userinfo, come to think of it.)
