once you start..

Okay, this meme oficially took up far too much of my time, but it was madly fun. Basically, here's the meme:

1. Go to the Elouai doll maker. (Click here)
2. Make an ordinary doll of yourself and save it.
3. Take that doll and, leaving a couple things (nose, eyebrows, whatever) the same, Mary Sue yourself. Make the most blatant Mary Sue you can conceive.
4. Post "Before" and "After" in your LJ. Bonus points if your Sue has a backstory of some sort.

Without further adieu, the Sues (and their stories)
( With any luck, you'll never see any of these people.. )

(no subject)

Since I just paid for two more months of LJ, I figured a poll would be prudent. Recently, I organized all my Shrine responses into my 'Memories', and came across quite a few stories I'd love to return to. 'Snow Cherries in France,' the story of Eriol's mother and a certain piffle-talking nobleman, 'Broken Branches,' a rather long piece about the England Quartet and a certain ex-nobleman, and the many stories that focus on the England Quartet. Sadly, there are a number of stories circling that are dependent on Broken Branches being finished, and so I know that should be a priority. So I thought I'd put the question to the readers- what would you like to see me focus on?
