author_by_night: (kaylee train job by hobbitseeker)
Coming across a blatant Mary Sue made me think OC thoughts yet again. As did reading a question from a new writer a few weeks ago about how to avoid them. Besides, it's been a while since my last OC rant, no? ;)

Sues and Stus )
author_by_night: (Original characters by author_by_night)
Or, rather, Mary Sue. *Innocent smile*

A few of you may remember the parody I wrote about two years ago, The Many Faces of Mary Sue. With the help of [personal profile] kelleypen, I have made it more HBP-friendly, and I have also made a few more changes.


Title: The Many Faces of Mary Sue. 

Fandom: Harry Potter, though only one real spoiler.

Rating: PG.  

Summary: I lik sux @ sumereez. Lisa Turpin has decided to write another fanfic for her favorite books - the Terry Hotter series, that features an original character. Little does she know what sins she has committed, and that atoning is near impossible.

Notes: No Litmus Tests were harmed in the making of this fanfic. Just gently tickled.


author_by_night: (Remus Sleeping)

Father of Anti-Mary Sues, Linda and I have sinned. We have made our respective characters related to Remus, given them plot points, and even made them liked.

We will say fifty Hail Rowling's.

 

*Sobs*

 

 

Edit: http://www.springhole.net/library/marysue.htm <--- Is what inspired this post. Artemis (my OC) got 33 points; Romulus (Linda's OC) got 35. ^^
