God I've dealt with Mary-sues alot and I'm tired of them. It sucks cause most the the people I Roleplay with have glorified one and are treating him like he's a hevensent. I've had to leave that place and I barely RP anymore but it's worth it to not deal with the Mary-sue anymore.

I happens unfortionatly. Further problems come with the internet where all the Sue-bags can group up, pat each other on the back, and reinforce troublesome behaviors.

That, I think, is a pretty healthy decision you took; also why I tend to not really RP much anymore. (Though I might be the type to make an Anti-Sue a lot)

Katherine: You know, I'm curious about something. I know my reasons for wanting to keep Pam and Bobby apart. But what I really don't understand are yours.
J.R.: Well, I have a very special feeling for your sister. I hate her.

I can understand that many people would like to make their fictional characters a perfected representation of themselves, but Many-Sue's are just annoying. They're always perfect in everything they do, and are simply unrealistic in a way that grates on most people's nerves.

There is nothing wrong with making a character powerful, strong, or smart. After all, you want to be proud of the character you create and there are enough movies and books out there in which the main character is a scrawny weakling. However, taking it to the ultimate extreme in which the character is so powerful that he/she can do whatever the hell they want and have no flaws or Achilles's heel makes them unbelievable and annoying.

Heh, reminds me so much of a comic strip which I found on ED about stereotypical Mary-Sues [link]

Nice. I'm glad that you've managed to fix up your characters a bit. Sometimes it's difficult to do.

I've just recently realized that a few of my characters are Gary Stu-ish. I'm going to have to work on them a bit...

But I'm pretty sure most of mine aren't, especially the ones in a major project that I'm working on with ~revell.

The good majority of characters start out as -Sues, actually. Some fix it, others... don't. -shrugs-
Nice stamp anyways.

Don't like my opinion?
Then kindly shut the fuck up. : D
KTHXBAI.

Do I ever agree with you, so many of my characters have just... grown up, it's really a good way of putting it, they have more to them. I'm totally using this.
