STFU Mary Sue

Wed Nov 25, 2009, 3:36 PM
  • Mood: Zeal
  • Listening to: Readings.
  • Reading: Comics
  • Playing: Tales
  • Drinking: Milk
Yes, I've done it when I was young, and so have many writers, but that does NOT mean every single Original Character is a Mary Sue. You try making an original character and at least one comment might be:"OMG MARYSUE!!! KILL IT!!!!1" or "Your character's looks/sounds/acts like ______. Mary Sue!!" Some of these comments come from people who enjoy putting others down or can't write that well. Others are trolls. Construtcive critisims are good, but they must be specific.Whatever the reason, they feel the need to insult every writer, even if they don't write. Mary-Sue's been abused.
You could take a Mary-Sue Litmus Test:[link] but that's not always helpful. Some of the questions are vauge and make your character worse. The test is a guideline, not an absolute character maker. It it was, Everyone would have a Sue. You can't have a girl with being accused. Men aren't safe, Gary-Stu.
My point: Don't always believe when someone cries "Mary-Sue" if you really tried making good characters. It's hard, but doable.
P.S :Happy Thanksgiving.

FAKE FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
REAL FRIENDS: Is the reason you have no food.

FAKE FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr / Mrs
REAL FRIENDS: Call your parents DAD/MOM

FAKE FRIENDS: Never seen you cry
REAL FRIENDS: Cry with you

FAKE FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back
REAL FRIENDS: Keep your stuff so long they forget it's yours

FAKE FRIENDS: Know a few things about you
REAL FRIENDS: Could write a book about you with direct quotes from
you

FAKE FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that is what the crowd is doing
REAL FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds butt that left you

FAKE FRIENDS: Would knock on your front door
REAL FRIENDS: Walk right in and say 'I'M HOME!'

FAKE FRIENDS: Are for awhile
REAL FRIENDS: Are for life

FAKE FRIENDS: Will talk bad to the person who talks bad about you.
REAL FRIENDS: Will knock the person out that talked bad about you

FAKE FRIENDS: Would ignore this
REAL FRIENDS: Will send this to all their real friends and hope to
get it back!

If you were killed today, I'm sorry I wouldn't be able to come to
your funeral, because I'd be in jail for killing the person who did
it.


First, I wanted to let you know that I love you to death & think
you are amazing!

Second, if I don't get this back I understand...

I have a game for you. Once you read this letter, you must send it to
14 people that you really care about, including the person that
sent it to you. If you receive at least 7 back then you are
luved
