I see RPG parody potential here that would compete with MarySue Whynniel (sorry, Estelyn, I cannot remember the correct spelling of her illustrious name). |
Ahem!
Mister Morthoron has in fact clearly based Itaril on
this RPG character. If only I were sixteen again, I'd threaten legal action immediately.
Setiously,
Esty– remember we actually did start
another parody RPG a couple of years ago, only it didn't last very long. I think the problem was we went a little overboard in trying to make the characters absolutely authentic Mary Sues– they all ended up so self-absorbed they could barely interact with one another at all.
