Mary Sues-The plague of Fan Fiction
Apr. 11th, 2006
11:16 pm - Ahem
In light of recent events that have happened. (includes Supertoad11 leaving and the creation of a bad reviewers blacklist among other things) I have decided to make this post a temporary discussion forum. It is here that Mary Sue writers, bashers, flamer haters and criticisers can discuss why they do it and what they plan to achieve.
Suethors now have a chance to tell us why they think we are flamers and why they write Mary Sue stories. Bashers, criticisers etc can do likewise.
The purpose of this forum/post is for people of fanfiction writing can better understand each other and their motives. Hopefully this will make tensions and lines that divide us apart more understandable and even lessen the flames from each sides. I hope that everyone can learn more from this forum and come to a deeper understanding. This is also to fulfill my curiousity to understanding why Mary Sues are being written instead of my assumptions.
Rules
1.Avoid personally insulting each other, that is all.

03:27 pm - Oh the horrors of this fanfic
Story title: Ancient Egypt The Pharrows Daughter
Location it's terorising: HP Fandom
Culprit/Author:TinkerbellPrincess92
link:http://www.fanfiction.net/s/274364
Full name of Sue:Ellafairo Rolasivo melfomini (a.k.a. Hermione Jane Granger), and Benzophenone Lactose Cellulose (a.k.a Draco "Lucious" Malfoy)
Hair colour: Not described, but hopefully it makes sense
Eye colour: Not described
Unusual markings: Special tattoos
Annoying connections to Canon characters: Pre-incarnations of Draco and Hermione
Annoying special abilities: They speak French even though there were no French men in Egypt and it existed after Egypt.
Other Annoying traits: None but the bad grammar etc makes up for it.
Comments: 0/10. The only thing good about this is the humor you get from laughing at the Authoress mistakes. This probably isn't a Mary Sue, but it's just as bad if not worse. Why do I get the feeling this Authoress never listened in class when studying History and English? Recommended only for comical value. status:deleted

12:25 pm - The catch of the day
Culprit/Author:Godza
Name of Sue: Jackie Singer
Location it's terrorising: Yugioh Fandom
Link:http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2734327/1/
Hair Colour:Blonde bangs braided and ponytail braided
Eye Colour:Not Described
Annoying Unusual Markings: None mentioned
Annoying connections to Canon character: Has a Yami that happens to be a self-insertation of the Author and she's Atemu's sister
Annoying Origin: The Yami happens to be a Queen from Ancient Egypt 5000 years ago
Annoying special powers: Not mentioned, but we can assume what the Author is going to do.
Other annoying and repetitive traits: Jackie has a Millenium Locket, that happens to be a lost item that is more powerful that the 7 canon items combined. Godzica also has her very own awesome, uber-powered God monsters.
Comment: Yes I know I can be vulgar sometimes, but I'll try to tone down the language next time. This Sue we have here is a genuine Mary Sue with all the classic things you'll expect from Mary Sue stories. The self-insertation gives this one a plus 50 points for sueism. This here is just craptastic. My rating 2/10 status:deleted

09:02 am - Found these Suethors
www.fanfiction.net/u/489192/- Elessar-Lover and www.fanfiction.net/u/551135/-Eccentric Banshee. Apparently they're both proud to be Suethors. I haven't read their stories yet but their talking about some kind of Mary Sue Rebellion. Which gets me thinking are they trying to take over fan fiction with craptastic Sues? So their proud to ruin the Canon and fulfill their really odd crushes on the male characters by inserting themselves into the story. If you ask me that's just ridiculous
