The Mary Sue Virus

so i had this evil bunny last night. and i was hoping Daz would talk me down. sadly, that didn't happen. and so... we have this. please keep in mind that the story we're writing here is going to be kind of dark, kind of perverse, and its going to take the Sues in directions that i don't think they've ever gone in before. what follows is simply an introduction to the story, but bunnies are already kind of forming for this. enjoy.

and don't say i didn't warn you.

( The Prologue )

 

well... here it is. the beginning of a bunny i probably should have ignored. before i get started, i wanted to say a few words about it. kind of an extended Author's Notes before i actually put down anything else. bear with me while i try to explain the mess that keeps tumbling about my brain.

as you all likely know, the idea for this stems out of watching The Mists of Avalon a few months ago. the bunnies just kind of swarmed out of nowhere and, upon mentioning them to Daz, what follows is the result. i've always like Arthurian legend and have seen it from both sides of the coin. traditional legend likes to say that Morgaine, also called Morgan Le Fay, plotted to bring about the downfall of her half brother, Arthur. she even conceived a child with him... yada yada yada. we've all heard or read or seen the story. for those of you who may not have read or seen The Mists of Avalon, the story is told from Morgaine's perspective and she more or less a pawn in a game being played by Merlin and Vivienne in the hopes of ensuring the survival of the old gods.

the story of Arthur, Morgaine and the Knights of the Round Table happened at a time when Christianity was coming to England. we all know that Guinevere was devout in her beliefs and that she spent the rest of her days in a nunnery after her affair with Lancelot. in The Mists of Avalon, some of the underlying plot is the clash between the old and new religions. that was some of the inspiration for my fic. but only some.

please let me say that i have not set out to abuse religion in any way. its a plot device, pure and simple. while i proudly proclaim myself pagan, i don't feel its my place to tell anyone what they should and shouldn't believe. the opinions expressed within the following fic are mine and mine alone. and i am in no way implying that this is how Christianity behaves. again, simply my own opinion. i did my best to portray religion as a kind of faith. nothing more or less. it won't show so much in this chapter, but it will be there in future chapters. please don't take any of it to heart. it is simply a device used for the furthering of the story.

some of my information comes from a book i own entitled Celtic Myth & Magick: Harness the Power of the Gods and Goddesses while other information came from a pair of websites i looked over. first was a Wikipedia page, which you can find here Cernunnos, and the other was from a website about Druidry, which is here Cernunnos (there is a link at the bottom of this page to take you to the main page of the site) the names, which i will provide a pronunciation guide, were found by dazzledfirestar , who is responsible for helping me plot this out. i believe we came up with an interesting way to present the story.

on the names, i am sure that you will be able to tell which Sue is which. we did our best to keep the girl's names close to their original ones. the men, however, are a slightly different story. i won't tell you who they are so you're going to have to more or less guess which man each of the Sues has been paired with. and, since this is an MSV, there are a couple of other appearances here that you will have to guess about. one of the Marvel Men is playing Cernunnos. and, since this is based on Arthurian legend, there will be an appearance by Merlin. who is being played by someone who isn't from the Marvel Universe.

again, you get to guess, now, i suppose, without further ado, its time to get the show on the road.

Disclaimer: the Marvel men, even though hiding behind other names, do not belong to me. they belong to Marvel and whoever the hell else owns them. i'm simply borrowing them for the fun of it. i like putting them through hell, don't you know? i'm not making money from this, either. so don't even consider what you can score off me. i'm broke. not a penny to my name. the Sues belong to the women who thought them up, namely Dazzledfirestar, Nan, SFC,  Gin and myself. don't steal them. they'll kick your ass. the name and concept of the Mary Sue Virus belong to Daz, who graciously allowed me to use it for my own personal pleasure.
