''Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way vs. Canon'' is a Literature/HarryPotter fanfiction by Cookie [=VanDeKamp=]. It can be read [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7351304/1/ here.]] The story begins on a normal day for Ron, Hermione, and Harry. And then... [[Fanfic/MyImmortal a certain Mary Sue shows up.]] After a few chapters of watching Ebony torment the students of Hogwarts, the Trio, Ginny, Luna, and Draco make it their business to get rid of her, once and for all.

The sequel, ''Sapphire Eleanor Rose Suzette de Mont vs. Canon'' (read [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7762173/1/Sapphire_Eleanor_Rose_Suzette_de_Mont_vs_Canon here]]) shakes up the formula a bit. A new Mary Sue arrives, but this one is of the IncorruptiblePurePureness variety. Once again, the Hogwarts students decide to get rid of her, but it turns out the MSEA (Mary Sue Extermination Association) had the same idea. The two groups join forces. Partway through this story, the series was titled ''The MSEA Files''.

The third entry, ''The MSEA Reloaded'', can be found [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8670356/1/ here.]] Seemingly dead.

Prior the posting of ''Reloaded'', the author also launched a Tumblr blog for the MSEA Files [[http://www.themseafiles.tumblr.com here.]] There, she posts Useless MSEA Facts, which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. The account was deleted.
