*takes the Mary-Sue quiz* Drat, Mary-Sue. XD I was doing so good at first though! [glow=red,2,300]Some of the questions on that quiz are so dumb.  Having a character with a name that means something does not make her a Mary Sue. ALL names mean something. Similarly, you wouldn't give a character a name that you don't like. I don't trust that test. ^_^[/glow] My name means daughter. Sue-ish, no? That's almost as bad as being named Darkness, or something! D: |

Or, at least, not the mildest of them. In fact, I'm very lenient where it comes to OC romances, self-inserts, etc... still, there are a few Mary-Sues that just... make me cringe too bad. XD; And a certain person who wrote a Sora/self-insert pairing fic and apparently couldn't speak English. That one was just plain entertaining. XDDD "I will transporn into a big Heartless!" <-- actual quote. ...XDDD For realz?! *shakes head* One can never emphasize the importance of a spellchecker enough... |

This girl needed soooo much more than a spellchecker. Another quote: "No! I am not sick! I am 100 cure!" yeah. |

XD Did you notice that being a pirate/ninja will make your character more likely to be a Mary-Sue? >_> [glow=red,2,300]Hahah, these people have no sense of romance. it was a fad - how long ago was it? To test your forum persona to see if she's a Mary Sue. Do I even need to tell you how many Persona-Sues we have? XD I'm all, "People, they're just personas. They're not story characters and they're not RP characters. It does not matter. XD" [/glow] |

Now, there are a few things I just won't hold with in an OC... excessive overdetailed descriptions of beauty, wielding a Keyblade, fourteenth member of the Organization (sorry, Fenrix), or being paired with Sora... but STILL. >_> |

I think my character is already too developed as a Mary-Sue to de-Mary-Sueify. |

But...Don't tell Sora that I am in your side...Keep that to your head." Demyx is in her side. How painful. |

At least I seriously hope not. ><; She also wrote a Mario/Naruto crossover, of all things, where she got sucked into both and Rock Lee fell in love with her, and Bowser wanted to marry her, so Lee fought Bowser to save her. XDXD |

XP I think they messed up and meant to say under twenty. Like a character in their young teens who looks like an adult, or something. |

Having a character with a name that means something does not make her a Mary Sue. ALL names mean something. Similarly, you wouldn't give a character a name that you don't like.
