Working Title

I was reading Fanficrants on Livejournal (which I haven’t done in ages) when I came across this rant. In it the author said:

Extra Note: When you go to search on FF.net and set the category to Harry Potter, you can type in almost any girl’s name and you will find a Mary Sue with that name! Try it! It’s sad, I know.

It’s been a while since I have done it, so let’s give it a go. Out of 39 English fics here are some examples of what I found:

• 2 daughters of Snape
• 2 transfer students (one of whom is a daughter of Snape)
• 2 characters who are tools to get canons together (Remus/Hermione and Remus/Sirius)
• 2 Snape romances
• 1 Black
• 1 Malfoy
• 1 Harry twin
• 2 interviewing the characters
• 1 CSI crossover
• And 1 Hagrid romance (yeah, I know)

There’s more if you use the Katherine variant of the spelling.

And just for the lulz, I decided to go with a name that might be less than common. After dealing with all the mentions of aisle I finally found some stories about a character named Aisling. Here’s my favourite.

Better known than Harry Better in school than Hermione, Funnier than the Twins Better blood than Draco Better looking then Fleur Prophecy says Aisling will take over the magical world and become a greater evil Voldemort look out Aisling will do it better!

So tell me: have you been Sue’d yet?
