Hee. I'm glad some of you guys enjoyed my mother's comments. Snarkiness is genetic, apparently.

Tonight, I was in the mood for something that tends to annoy me more than the average badfic. I give you one of the most noxious forms of Sue: the Puella Moderna.

I hate the name "Rhiannon". Well, actually I hate Sues with "exotic" names. I mean... honestly, who is really going to name their daughter Rhiannon?

And... I hate modern Sues. It seems that every fandom that is set sometime in the past is going to be crawling with them.

OPh well, from what I read, at least this Sue doesn't seem to have a cell phone and/or CD player, or decides to be cute and warn everyone of how they are going to die.

Rhiannon's a name from Welsh mythology, and also the title of a Fleetwood Mac song. It's not a hideously awful name, but it's got a distinct odor of OMG-Kelts-r00l!!

But trust me, there's no name so bad it hasn't been inflicted on some helpless human being. Someone on a NG I frequent encountered a little boy named Raistlin recently.

Ehh... Having lived in Wales, Rhiannon seems normal to me. But then, so do the men's names Hywel, Emrys, Ieuan, Gareth, and Siôn; and the female names Morgaine, Aerith, Siân, Myfanwy, and many others. Probably a cultural thing.

What the hell are producer mice dudes?

"'Ello, Luv. Glad to see you finally decided to join the waking world." All Rhiannon could do was nod, for there before her stood Captain Jack Sparrow.
...
Rhiannon blinked at him before bursting out laughing. She gasped for breath etc.
...
Jack's frowned and sat down on the bed next to the quick-tempered woman
Wait a minute. They just met. How does he know she's quick-tempered?
...
"You told about this -movie- and everything that happened after Barbossa marooned me etc.
When? When did she tell him this? Was she talking in her sleep? That doesn't make sense, because she wouldn't have known where she was until she woke up. And if she told him all this while awake, why is she playing dumb?

NAME: Rhiannon "Rhea" "Rheas" "Ann" "Anna" McCormick.

Nooooo! The main character in my fanfiction is named Rheas! The Sue has soiled his name!

The one thing I hate more than modern Sues are the ones who "know" the story so they can predict things. It kinda takes away the whole point of the story, doesn't it?
