Behind the Veil . . .

My children, you know me as the wimpled grammar curmudgeon, bad memory, and otherwise pain in the ass Sister Mary Grammatica, and you shall continue to know me as such.  A femslash fan, I've been following

Yes, if it could be said that I have written a Mary Sue, it would be Carl Snodgrass. He's such a malcontent! He's so pathetic! He's so Jillo!

I'm not sure if such a cool OC as Snodgrass could ever be a true Mary-Sue. A true Mary-Sue would be called Jillina and would un-man evildoers with her perfect grammar and perfect physical form. Much like the good Sister now I think about it.

Hmmm. . . you may be right.

Rocking the Boat--my very first attempt at fiction of any kind, and repository of one of my favorite sentences that I have ever written in any context.

Which just begs the question, what sentence? (God, now I'm thinking that should have been a semi-colon or maybe beggers the question is the correct phrase... argh! You've turned me into a paranoid grammar novice. Good job.)

And thus is illustrated the pitfall of the grammar pedant: to make people afraid to write anything for fear of making a grammar mistake! Sister shall have to say an entire novena tonight in penance for making you self-conscious of your writing! Sister begs your forgiveness

All too human, my child, all too human. And bless you for your sentiments and for reading a few of Sister's "favorite things."

Thank you, my child, for the lovely little lyric.

Hot cyborg women and smart-ass chief wrenches,
Flying in space ships with commanding wenches,
Holodeck fancies, a doc who sings,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .

Oh, don't get me started!

And so, after much hand-wringing and soul-searching, and not a little nipping at the communion wine

So the person I was sharing the wine with was you? You're pretty hott...for a nun. And I am looking forward to reading your work.

[sr_m_grammatica]

Yes, my child, those confessionals are a rather tight squeeze, aren't they? And so dark. Next time we'll sneak a candle in with us. We can play "Spank me, Sister, for I have sinned."

Does this mean the rosaries you gave me are FAKE? ::sob::

Welcome to the fold, sister. And many thanks for all your kind words about my fic efforts. You certainly do not fall into the "pretentious twat" category, imo!

[sr_m_grammatica]

Does this mean the rosaries you gave me are FAKE? ::sob:: Oh, no, my child. The rosaries are quite genuine. Of course, they haven't been blessed by the Holy Father. Rather, they have been blessed by the Holy Mother--Madonna. I leave it to you to imagine in what fashion.

Yours in blasphemy,

Sister Mary Grammatica, SGJ
