I have adapted the fanfiction term to RPs, since no one has an official name for these characters. *ducks random bits of masonry people have throw at her* well you knew i'd show up sometime? But i have promised (on the Mary-Sue Litmus test thread) to stop ranting incessantly agaisnt them. I stole no ideas fom no particular writer, if you recognise your character, no fault of mine.Īh, Mary -Sues. Give your thoughts and definitions, and I claim no copyright to the story-idea above however, if you steal it, please keep your story away from good fanfiction sites. In the end her actions save Frodo and it is she who destroys the ring.

She can prophesy the future and offers her visions in riddle-songs. No-one thinks any evil thoughts about her, because she is so adorable and sincere. She gets captured by orcs and rescued by Boromir. Aragorn is jealous, and the friendship of Gimli and Legolas is jeopardised because of her. Legolas falls in love with her and starts composing love poetry. There she joins the Fellowship of the Ring. When she puts it in her finger, she enters Middle-Earth. One day she inherits from her grandmother a diamond ring. Her eyes are bright green, her hair is flaming red. She is a High School student in California. she often sings (but not all singers are Mary-Sues)Ī Mary-Sue is the writer’s daydream and a reader’s nightmare: the reader can’t identify with Miss Perfect, but wants someone human, regardless of species.Ī ‘Lord of the Rings’ Mary-Sue could be like this. she makes other characters behave uncharacteristically everything in the story is centred around her she often has immense supernatural abilities she has none or very few flaws in her personality: she is kind to everyone, brave, beautiful, sickeningly sweet…

she has all the good characteristics the writer would like to have herself (usually the writer is a girl) the writer’s favourite character falls in love with her her eyes, hair or both are an unusual colour I’ll respond the best I can:Ī Mary-Sue can be a fanfiction story of any fandom. Someone somewhere asked what is a Mary-Sue.
