I think it's pretty clear whenever you see a real Mary Sue or Marty Steve. It's not just a numbers game. Sheesh - Count Dracula, the Frankenstein Monster, Ellen Ripley, etc etc - all would score high. IP Logged
Guina Ex Member Re: Mary Sues Reply #19 - Sep 14th, 2010 at 7:29am Print Post Hi Louise, and sheesh - I might have to rename him Sooo many Jaspers around lately. What irks me is that I loved that name a decade ago already and kept using it for various characters, way before Stephenie Meyer took it up. I guess I must hunt for another nice oldfashioned name for my "Injun". > IP Logged

Write a story with your favourite UFO charcter ( I was going to say Straker ... But I thought of you, Matt!) as a Non-Mary-Sue!! Ginny... fat, incomptetent, short hair. Dresses in Asda clothes. three kids, all in trouble with the police. Secret drinker ( gin) Louise, I loved the play on "Matt's" pet for her! But the image you described will give me nightmares for the rest of my life! I can only imagine what your description of Ed is doing to you! What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged
