TO BE HONEST, I REALLY WISH THIS WAS MANDATORY FOR EVERY STORY PEOPLE WRITE :
http://www.springhole.net/quizzes/marysue.htm
The link above lead to a quiz called the Mary Sue quiz.
Its sort of long, but this quiz will determine if your character is a mary sure or not ( if you don't know what a mary sue is, it has the definition at the link as well )
Brutally honest ; I think that 50% of the writer's characters on here are mary sues , no doubt. They all are beautiful but don't believe it themselves, have 3 or more suitors, some awesome unusual power and seem to have many awesome possum friends. EVERY. STORY.
I really hope people write more original stories. I mean, I know their are fan-fictions and blah but tooo much of something is . . . boring. I say people should be more original. Not just the story line but their characters and there personallities. Not everyone in the world is a sad lonely emo girl or a blond haired bitchy prep.
ANYWAYS, PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASEEEE TAKE THE QUIZ . IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT, BOOKMARK IT !
Rant 13 : ATTENTION ALL WRITERS ; PLEASE TAKE THIS QUIZ . IT WILL HELP YOU BECOME BETTER AT WRITING
