The Noble and Most Ancient House of Menolike

From Fandom wank wiki

May 4, 2006: Menolike doesn't like JKR releasing background information about characters during interviews. She makes sure the LJ community HP Theories knows about this, with what some might call a lack of tact. [1] Rowling, she says, is a hack compared to 'Bernard Show (sic)', Mark Twain, and 'Tolkeins (sic)'.

Tolkeins, Created a world and introduced the characters in different stories, each with a plot, no matter how small (No! there IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN HIM AND JKR. They're not the only writers to create a fictional world. e.g. A Thousand and One Nights, is full of magic and the world of the supernatural). And Tolkeins did not give interviews did he? (but then he is considered a serious writer).

But Tolkien did give interviews, objected the members. Well, he didn't give the same type of interviews.

Just another day in obsessive HP fan-land, until Menolike revealed that she belonged to a landed and aristocratic family, and her fandom adversaries were new money.

just want to point out that not all "rich" kids get special tutors or what not to make them smarter. and you wanted someone to point one out to you? well lookie here!! my parents are extremely well off but yet my brother and I all had a hard time in school and bearly scrapped by with a C average

Menolike:

Of course, when you study on the night of the exam. That's exactly what would happen!
I feel sorry for your parents.
But then, they did spoil you.
And...
You don't happen to come from a noble-pure-blood family? Do you?

Purplekagome 413:

you have no right to bash me or my family.

Menolike:

Of course I have no right, no one does.
My sincere apologies If I appeared to be 'bashing' your family.
But yours was not what I was talking about.
Yours is a family who has lots of money, where I come from, that's how your family would be viewed.
They would not be considered rich unless they have lands of their own and an above than average history to go with it. If this family has 'cash in the bank', then that would be considered a plus. But that's it.
My own family doesn't have much 'cash in the bank', but we have the history and land, and so we are considered 'rich'. And yes, my parents made sure our education was much better than average. After all, we must preserve the family's name and honor. To fail would be a disaster (unfortunately that used to lead to some cases of suicide in some families). After all, there still exists the different families rivalry.

So, Menolike is Draco Malfoy's sockpuppet. Good to know.

Quotes

  • "What the hell culture does she come from, purebred terriers perhaps?" - gun [2]
  • "She sounds like a mutt from the Bronx who thinks 'degenerate old money Death Eater' would make a nice on-line persona." - Wankprophet [3]
  • "What I like most about Menolike is that she always prefaces her essays/posts with stuff like "WHAT I SAY MAY BE SHOCKING TO FANS OF CHARACTER X, PLEASE BE SITTING DOWN AND HOOKED UP TO A HEART MONITOR BECAUSE I AM ABOUT TO BLOW YOU AWAY WITH MY OUTSIDE-THE-BOX THINKING, AND I KNOW IT WILL GREATLY OFFEND SOME PEOPLE BUT THAT'S A CHANCE I'M WILLING TO TAKE IN THE NAME OF TRUTH, FREEDOM, AND SNAPE'S GREYING UNDERPANTS."

    And then you get to the essay only to find that you can't read it because it makes no sense and is only based in canon in the way that she occasionally refers to "Harry Potter" and lo and behold there's a series of popular kids books called "Harry Potter".

    The essays never live up to the hype she creates in the headers. :( " - grrliz [4]
