Thursday Next is a fantastic series--make sure you know your classics intimately, though, especially Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, Dickens, and Shakespeare.

The third book is even better than the PPC with metafictional humor; that and the first are usually the two favorites. I had a lot of fun with Well of Lost Plots in trying to spot all the different characters I knew.

This is a posting board, not a chatroom - most of the people on here only check it a couple times a day.

That said, B&b doesn't sound like an Agent Sue - you spent some time describing her, but that's hardly a sign of Suedom. She's certainly crazy enough to fit in with the rest of us.

There are a few things that sound a touch Sue-ish, so you may want to think about them a bit:

Schroedinger's High-Heels: Impractical footwear should be impractical all the time. If she's going to wear stiletto heels, she's going to sink into mud, trip a lot, and quite probably twist an ankle every other mission. If this doesn't happen (but she's still wearing them), that could be troublesome. I'm sure you can appreciate the humor potential in an Agent in heels.

Personality: She sounds like a borderline sociopath. Once again, you're going to have to keep that consistent - being sociopathic when killing 'Sues and perfectly normal at other times isn't good.

Finally, gag reflex. Having a completely unsquickable agent is very unrealistic. Not being reduced to retching is interesting, but she's going to need to have some way of demonstrating being extremely disturbed.

So, yeah - it's all a question of your writing skill, ultimately. If you're a good writer, you'll be fine. If you're a Suethor, you could pick the most normal agent ever and still turn her into a 'Sue. My biggest concern is with the gag reflex thing, see above.

Think of the most unamused laugh in the world. Get what I mean?

Yeah, something tells me she's headed for the department of bad slash. ;]
