She's smart. She's a strong character. She's pretty. She's in love with Will. Therefore, she is a threat to each and every fan writer whose only objectives in fanfiction are ego-plumping and wish fulfillment. As such, she must be corrupted, rendered spineless or unfaithful, or die meaninglessly to leave room for the Mary Sue original female character to steal her role/get comfy with Will fulfill her destiny.
And as for this Elizabeth-bashing fic, I can do you one better. Have a look at this. It's called, "Death to Elizabeth":

*stares*
I thought things labelled "Parody/Humour" were supposed to be funny?
No, I lie. I laughed. Then I clicked "Back" quickly before I could read any more.
You know, the thing about Elizabeth is that she never seems to get Sued. Don't most female characters end up with that fate?
But then, maybe she's already too pretty and high class and spunky to be appropriate for molding into Sue-form. And maybe even Sue authors realise they can't turn her into a punk/goth chick.
Towards the end, Jack dies or something like that. FaithSue tries to convince herself otherwise.
He's jus pullin me leg again. Yes, that's it. Any minute he's going to wake up and start to laugh. And then we will all sail on the Pear together again.
Yes, the PEAR.
I like pears, yes I do.
Just to make you feel better, FaithSue dies at the end. =DDDDDD

"What!! They cant do that!! What's going to happen to me!!?" She screamed and then broke into tears.
She broke? Good riddance! Awww.
"CAPTAIN AND WILL WHO?!?!" She sputtered almost falling from the ropes. She thought that Will had died.
"Umm...Sparrow.”
...So, if Jack and Will have the same last name, does that mean they got married?
*confused face*
'This probably has something to do with Faith.' Will thought.
Yeah. Because she's so SPESHUL that obviously everything everyone does after meeting her must have something to do with her.
I stopped reading there. I didn't want to see Bitchy!Elizabeth. *sigh* What'd she do to deserve this, anyway? Apart from OMG LIEK KISSING ORLI WILL!
