Well . . . THis looks like it hasn't been edited in a while. Well, here's stuff for Mary Sues -- always helpful when writing a fanfic, not so much when doing original writing. (To me, anyways)

+THE test to take to see how Mary Sue-ish your characters are.

+ Another Mary Sue test to take, to get a second opinion on your characters.

+ And yet another Mary Sue Litmust Test, if you're still trying to convince yourself that your character isn't a Mary Sue. (But seriously, if you failed the first two, this one isn't going to help you at all.)
