Guess what? This is now the number one best seller in the UK! I'm so...depressed. :(
So, here's a spite fic.

It's from my 'will be written at some point' fantasy novel. :D The idea of mirrors showing the truth comes from various fairy tales I've read. Maeve-my heroine-has a genetic quirk that makes her immune to the supernatural, so she's able to see Christian for what he truly is. (It's not limited to just her, about 20% of the population has it.) It comes in handy, because she has rough/kinky sex with her werewolf husband. *Evil smile

Which is why I'm writing her. I got so sick of seeing all the fantasy YA novels(though mine will be a bit more adult) that had Bella clones for their 'heroines'. I swear, you could swap Bella out with Nora, Zoey, or Clary and nobody would know the difference.
I also got tired of the 'romance' being all about manipulation and emotional blackmail.
(And on the Clary bit, I was rather discouraged to discover my mom likes the Mortal Instruments series. But, she has good taste other wise, so I can forgive her one guilty pleasure.)

I don't know who Nora is. Was she the one one from Hush Hush?
I would disagree about Clary though. Bella is a sociopath. Bella is really, really creepy character. Clary is just stupid and useless. I hate her, but for different reasons.
Zoey, maybe that could work. Zoey is just as much of an Ultimate Sue and whorish cocktese and she does have some sociopathic tendencies, but Bella is a true villain.
I can tell you that you can swap Zoey, Ever and Clary and no one would notice. xD Tris and Clary too! (man, I hate Tris!) And Tris also has some of Bella sociopathy, so there's that.

Thanks, I like her too. I'm fleshing her out more and more as I go along, and I have her pretty well established. I just need to get her down on paper-so to speak-a bit more. She's also got that nice bit of conflict in that she hunts monsters(demons, mostly) for a living and yet she's partners with, married to and deeply in love with a quasi-immortal werewolf. Though the fact that her husband isn't evil and loves her just as much helps a lot.. :P
And no, it isn't a Bella/Edward type of 'love'. :P
And I'm glad that Incubus! Grey is rotting away so quickly. Yeah, me too. :D

No. I know when this is set because all of the emails are dated. It's May 2011, according to Ana. (No, that doesn't add up correctly. Show of hands--who's surprised?)
Re: I Have to Spite This.quicksilvermadAugust 9 2012, 17:07:09 UTC
Aha. Then I'll have to make some stuff up. Because of what happens in the second Boondock Saints movie and since the third one is still in the developing/are-you-writing-it-yet?! stages.
The only thing I know for certain about that is both Sean and Norman are totally going to play these guys again. Sean said so on Twitter.
So, here's a spite fic.

Also, this makes me want to do a Boondock Saints "sent there on a mission from God" spitefic. Again.

Let's see, this book is set in, what, 2009? So there's some canon shuffling I'll have to do... Hmm.
