You know, Sues with pretentions to divinity should be thrown in the Tash. -

She didn't even get the opening lyrics right. I know that song - it's from The Magic Sword: Quest For Camelot. It's a nice song. She's mangled it. The lyrics are in the CD cover. Bah.
At least the grammar isn't too painful. Whoever takes it won't be ducking falling granite commas. -

And even then, one could just look for the lyrics online. Jeez.

Two bad fics, one with a [b]human daughter[/b] of Aslan with an improbably large sword, and infects two stories in a row? I think she deserves a double death for that alone.

It's used on forums and the like. And not to worry Candescence, I've done that many, many times. (Along with letting my muscle memory take over and trying to italicize by going ctrl+i. Doesn't work...)

HTML requires a tag name before you can specify the parameters (e.g. <a href=""> vs. [url=""], <img src=""> vs. [img=""], and please forgive any incorrect BBCode)

As far as I know, not many Narnians know about the wardrobe the Pevensies used to--darn, how do you say this--"hop" to Narnia.
If that's correct, then how the fratz did she learn of it? Her so-called "dad" didn't contact for over a century, according to the story. -

So, if I dare ask, who's the mother? For some reason I keep getting an image of Jadis in my head, though I doubt that's it. And if Aslan is meant to be Jesus, then it follows logically that he would have no children, as Jesus had no children and watches over all men etc.
-Looks at above paragraph- Oh, wait. Logic. I forgot that 'Suefics don't use logic. -sighs- Can't wait to read this one (/end sarcasm).

Just my mind working in odd ways.
When you said Neal Gaiman Narniafic, do you mean written by him, or using his characters? 'Cause if it's the first, it sounds kind of interesting. (

By him. Apocryphal, though. by

I've seen it mentioned on TvTropes several times; don't know where it is to be found or if it's fully reliable, though.

There's lots of places in the Bible where the "children of God" are mentioned, etc., and at least one place where it's mentioned that Christians are the adopted sons (and presumably daughters) of God.
But I'm assuming that, since this is badfic, adoption wasn't in the picture... -

Given that it's a 'Sue, you can bet all the treasure in Narnia that there was no adoption involved. I didn't get very far into the story after seeing the whole "Aslan's Daughter" thing. Yeesh.

Which raises the question: How the heck did he father a human girl?!
Oh, wait. Suefic. *headdesk* I forgot. -

Well, I suppose he could've created her like he did the animals in The Magician's Nephew- sang her into existence and all that. But then again, I don't think I'd want a 'Sue messing up one of my favorite creation scenes in all of literature, so I think I'll go with he didn't actually father her, but rather adopted her and then... um... gave her speshul powers? I need some Bleepka. I'm trying to rationalize the reason for a 'Sue's existence. *headesk*

The words "Logic" and "Suefic" do not belong in the same sentence.
