It's because you're a fan!

BTW, I'd actually already written my Death Eater leader as occupying Grimmauld Place -- well, strongly implying. I guess you probably didn't catch it because most of the details about Grimmauld Place are in book five, not in the movie. Anyway, it's not a problem for me to move Miss Death Eater leader to someplace else, maybe Spinner's End... I'll think about it.

Ooh, which reminds me! *goes to post*

*gasps at new post* NO FREAKING WAY!!! I LOVE YOU!!! XD Gah, now I have to figure out what Pansy's gonna do. *sigh* it might take me a while though. A lot of thinking will have to go into it :)

*squee* I've always wanted to write a "Voldemort's daughter" story, but I think the only way to avoid a horrible Mary-Sue is to do it in a group format like this. If you guys notice me turning Sue-ish, do please call me on it!!

As for where she lives... I think I might have to make it a new location. The Lestranges must have had an estate of some kind, right? *ponders*

Oh, a Mary-Sue character is a bad character often designed after the author's self-imaginings. *rummages google*

Mary Sue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mary Sue - Television Tropes & Idioms

The Universal Mary-Sue Litmus Test

Pirate Monkey's Artwork <-- a wonderful comic poking fun at the Mary-Sue character.

If you still want examples, I can probably find one on fanfiction.net pretty quickly. They're usually the first kind of character a young writer creates.

:nod: No problem. I mean, we all "know" what they are, it's just a matter of finding the right label. Oh, and there are "Gary Stu" characters, of course, too. That's one of the main reasons I try to avoid using OCs in fan-based RPGs.

Yeah. Makes perfect sense to me. I mean, I like the idea have having your own made up character in a world that somebody else created but I usually like to keep it to myself cuz it usually ends up pretty silly. i actually don't do fan rps cuz of that mostly. this is actually my first one :)

I'm logging off for the night. Early morning -- I have to take my cello in for some repair work (it's buzzing on some notes, and that usually means a crack, which is expen$ive :cry:) and I want to beat the usual traffic. They've been doing horrid construction which closes down one lane of a two-lanes-each-way main road, even during commute hours, and since this is Los Angeles no one knows how to merge politely.

No -- the Malfoys are a large family, so it makes sense for them to be living there. I'll just put my villain someplace else the next time she posts, probably invent a Lestrange mansion or something.

The Lestrange mansion would probably be a big one anyway, considering Bella married into their family, huh?

No, don't worry. I shouldn't have been *quite* so subtle. When you read book five eventually, you'll probably catch the hints (the house-elf heads, the troll's leg, the will). I should have written it more plainly. No problem; having her in a new house will make me work a little harder, and give me an opportunity to try my hand at making up a location, which I haven't yet done.

I thought the daughter idea was pretty cool, too. Were she to help the Malfoys get out of solitude, did you plan on having them pay her back with everything they own or what?

Hm, no, I think they'll pay back through actions. Favors. Contacts, networking. Information.

i.e., BLACKMAIL.
