The Eliza Trilogy: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"At least I didn't write ''[[Celebrian (Fanfic)|Celebrian]]!"''|Eliza Diawna Snape}}

Before [[My Immortal (Fanfic)|Ebony]] and [[The Girl Who Lived|Rose Potter]] were even mere [[Plot Bunny|plot bunnies]], ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fans often cited another name when asked to give an example of a [[Mary Sue]]. That name is Eliza Diawna Snape.

The '''''Eliza''''' Trilogy, which was written in 2000 by then semi-[[BNF]] Eliza Diawna Snape, is considered a classic ''[[Harry Potter]]'' [[Fanfic]] often mentioned in the same breath as ''[[The Draco Trilogy (Fanfic)|The Draco Trilogy]]'' and ''[[Pawn to Queen (Fanfic)|Pawn to Queen]]''. While it was very popular and much praised in its heyday (it was often praisedlauded for having writing that was as good as and even ''better'' than Rowling's)), it is considered nowadays to be a textbook example of a [[Mary Sue]].

Copies of all three stories can be found (in .doc format) [https://web.archive.org/web/20061130053443/http://www.students.uni-mainz.de/sprec000/Ablage/Liesmich.html here.] Summaries of the [[Original Character|OCs]] more sueish points can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20100306151915/http://community.livejournal.com/deleterius/359286.html here] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20100306151920/http://community.livejournal.com/deleterius/904424.html here].

* [[Old Shame]] --: EDS has since closed down her [[Fanfiction.net]] account and has apparently withdrawn from the fandom altogether. Because of this and the series' age, it is <s>hard</s> all but impossible to find complete copies of the trilogy online. The quote above is from the note she left on her old profile page.

* [[Power Crystal]] --: Eliza's necklace has the power to {{spoiler|"grant a second life after death"}}.

* [[Self-Insert Fic]] --: The description of the twins matched up almost completely (save for a few modifications where the characters looked better) with pictures of the author that were floating around at the time. "Eliza Diawna" is also a variation on the author's real name: Elizabeth Dawn.

* [[Small Name, Big Ego]] --: The author, for a time. There are stories of her showing up to the movies' premiers wearing a t-shirt saying "I am Eliza Diawna Snape." and being distraught when people didn't immediately recognize her.

* [[Twin Switch]] -- : {{spoiler|Diawna pretends to be Eliza and attends Hogwarts in her place}}.
