* ChurchOfHappyology: A "Reform JustForFun/{{Anaprotestant|ism}}," an obscure branch of Christianity that she hopes to bring more attention to. [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment Let's not dwell into that or get into whether this influenced the themes exploited in the Viridian Saga]]...

** She seems to be a Reform ''Congregationist'' Anaprotestant given her disguised representation of the All-Forgiving Goat as in the form of Pug Of Epiphany in Chapter Six of Awoken.
** Except no. Reform Legalist Anaprotestants link the Pug Of Epiphany with the mythical figure of the Pope's Bane, because they unjustly accuse the Pope of trying to destroy their crazy cult, so, no, I think she wouldn't mention it if she was a Congregationist, since those have made peace with the pope and are mostly saner and ALighterShadeOfBlack.
** ... or so would the spreaders of Papist propaganda have us believe! She's a Legalist. She even uses part of the Heavenly Goat's proverbs to salute her readers (see page quote)...
** No offence, but, please, STFU ! The "Guide" may have had an horrible childhood, but he was still manipulating a whole town and thousand of illegitimate children to follow his heretic agenda, and he took credits for things he never did. Sorry to blow up your trusting mind, but Catholics did most of what he said he invented when he was in his diapers.
*** What? What does the guide's childhood has to do with any of this? "The catholics did it when he was in hsi diapers "? Are yo u kidding??? WHAT TH E HELL !!??! HOW FAR CAN SELF-DELUSION GET TO PREVENT SOMEONNE FROM GETTING THE FREAKING POINT???!!!! YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITHE GUIDE, HE HAS THE GOSPEL OF JUDAS !!!!!???!!!!!!!!!????
** I just meant that and he used precedent teachings and a few proverbs that pre-date his actions and took credit from them, you psycho.
** See the Desert Sisters's teachings to find the first recorded use of the bridge of the lamb thing and he used precedent proverbs that pre-date his actions. Legalist or not, it doesn't change the fact that this blessing is antiquated and ridiculous, ''[[DroppedABridgeOnHim mostly]]'' [[DroppedABridgeOnHim on this]] ''[[DroppedABridgeOnHim site]]''. Someone should delete this FlameWar before it gets worst.
** Anaprotestants are ALL nuts.
** May the bridge of the lamb fall upon you, unbelievers!
*** See?
** [[Series/FatherTed Wouldn't this be an ecumenical matter?]]

* {{Hatedom}}: After the sixth chapter of ''Awoken'' was published for a teaser, she gained a faithful fanbase as well as one of the most virulent and precocious hatedoms ever known to man. Some think she is TheFundamentalist and criticize the potential Anaprotestant SuBtext, others claimed she was an avatar to the Beast from the apocalypse, the Antechrist and Keanu Reeves; a few people think that her characters are not that much into one another, while others find the relationship obsessive and abusive; some think the story could become an unrealistic woman-oriented erotic empowerment fantasy, other think it anti-feminist story of a glorified BastardBoyfriend and a co-dependent ShrinkingViolet with low self-esteem. Especially glaring since the first few pages of the book haven't been published, so the readers missed all the build-up.

** Also InvertedTrope. Acclaimed fanfiction writer Tara Gilesbie already showed her full support and went on board saying she was keen to read her book !

* BrownNote: After the chapter describing the heroine's reaction to Riley turning a classmate insane in ''Awoken'' was used as a teaser, some readers just... ''snapped'' and seemed to lose a bit of their grip on reality. Were they already mentally unstable ? Is her style just so moving and controversial ? Was Cthulhu somehow involved ? We'll never know.

-->'''Another reviewer:''' What goals ? What Rr RRE U tHEIR GOAT ''(the All-Forgiving Goat is part of the anaprotesant tradition, being a representation of the spirit of creation, NDLR)'' ? IT 4S mE CASS anD RA ! IT 4S ME, THE gOAT ! I WANNA CREATE A WORLD WI tH HOTTIES !

* CluelessAesop: Here is a selection of the sort of morals which reviewers of the teaser chapter directly assumed to be what was in the story. A surprising amount of it is... well, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment surprising]] :

-->'''Another reviewer:''' I love that in her book. How Riley loses all his personal traits and projects and the heroine was only waiting for someone to give her goals and opinions, and finally they don’t need any of this because they are together. Adorbs, right ?!
-->'''Another reviewer :''' [The story promotes] the idea that abusive relationships are desirable and that it’s healthy to have crippling insecurity and a martyr complex.
--> '''Another review :'''I love it when men push me around because I’m a woman and I don’t know what I want!
