Yeah, I was trying to put a twist on the Mary Sue idea by using the POV of someone who *hated* the Mary Sue. It was kinda fun.
Plus, then Lola didn't turn out to be Mary Sue, after all. Great twist.
The scary thing I learned by writing this fic is that apparently Frannie and I have *very similar* thought patterns. She is eerily easy for me to write.
That IS scary! Hee!
Oh, good. I used a translation program. I speak Spanish, which gives me just enough knowledge of French to know that I'm probably doing it wrong.
LOL! Did you translate from Spanish to French? That might work much better than English to French in one of those programs.
Well, see [BLASPHEMY ALERT!] I didn't really find RayK that attractive when I first saw him. He has since grown on me, but it's easy to slip back into that mindset when I need to.
Heh, that IS blasphemy! LOL! I first saw him when he first appeared (in BDtH), and I was all bent out of shape about Vecchio just vanishing, and it took me a few eps to get used to RayK's "grunge" Gen-Xer clothes (remember, at the time, that was a fairly new look, and those of us older than Gen-Xers were fighting it all the way, dammit).
Still, I instantly realized, Oooh, now this show is seriously slashable! Whereas I hadn't seen it that way before. But I didn't fall headlong into this fandom until last summer and then when I watched all the eps again, I fell hard for RayK (and CKR)! Of course now...I even like Ray/Ray and F/K/V fic, but you'll notice that for me, RayK is the common denominator.
And I figured that Frannie might not be as hot for her fake brother's bod as Fraser is.
Oh, we know she's not, so that's exactly in character. I love that scene in "A Likely Story" where she's in the breakroom reading Cosmo (or something like it) and Ray asks her what women find attractive in men. And while she's answering he's wolfing down a sandwich in a very disgusting manner. Pure comic genius.
