Truth, Justice and the Sarcastic Way is a WIP novella by Cheeseypoofs, written for NaNoWriMo. It's about a High School senior named Kitty. In her spare time she's a superhero named "Snark Girl", who fights her arch nemesis, Anarchy, and defends her hometown of Poviyemo, Indiana from "crime and idiocy". One day, she meets another superhero named Mr. Molecule. Shortly after, she ends up finding out that Anarchy has been getting some out-of-town help. Snark Girl and Mr. Molecule have to figure out what Anarchy is planning, and Kitty has to deal with her friends, her boyfriend, her homework and her double life all at once.
Word of God says that she is going to post it in late Spring note so that she can edit it, because there are some embarrassing typos.
This WIP novella contains examples of:
- Action Girl: Kitty/Snark Girl
- Alliterative Name: Kitty Castel.
- Ambiguously Brown: Kitty. Word of God says that one of her ancestors was Spanish-Arabic, and that she has some Italian and Greek heritage, giving her an olive skin tone.
- Ass Pull: You know it.
- Badass in Distress: Kitty during the hostage scene. Justified because she had a freaking gun to her head and trying to fight was not the best idea.
- Badass Normal: Brent and Chelsea.
- Big Bad: Anarchy
- Brainy Brunette: Kitty, as well as Aaron/Mr. Molecule.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Chelsea
- Buffy Speak: Pretty much all of the characters except Anarchy.
- Deadpan Snarker: Kitty. Mr. Molecule as well.
- Dumb Blonde: Kenna is a subversion. She acts ditzy, but she's actually very smart.
- Genius Ditz: Chrissie Maddox isn't very bright, but she's a surprisingly good reporter.
- Moral Event Horizon: Anarchy crosses it after putting a gun to Kitty's head.
- Only One Name: Kenna and Brent, so far.
- Shrinking Violet: Aaron is a rare male example. Mr. Molecule isn't.
- Stock Superhero Day Jobs: Kitty and Aaron are both students.
- Superhero Paradox: Deliberately invoked. Anarchy shows up just because the various superheroes in town weren't doing anything.
- Unreliable Narrator: Kitty admits sometimes she can be one, however, we never really know what she exaggerated. Word of God says it's just minor stuff.
- Write Who You Know: Kitty is a bizarre mixture of Cheeseypoofs and her super-organized classmates. Also, Chrissie is based on a few of the author's friends. Also, Mr. Molecule has a few similarities with a guy the author knows, although he's nothing like Aaron. All of this is subverted in that the author didn't base any character on just one person.
