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.
