Mary Sue Strain
KimLuster on March 17, 2015
A few days ago, in the comments following one of the quackcasts, I brought up a Mary Sue test and I griped a bit about how my character Kimber Lee Luster scored rather high on it…
.
I've since concluded it's the Godstrain's fault. I didn't write the character as any sort of idealized version of me or anybody else - any resemblances thereof are the fault of the Godstrain…!
.
Anyway, Ironscarf proposed a Mary Sue one-pager contest and this is my entry, to show how devilish the Godstrain really is! Yeah, you'll look good - but it makes ALL dreams come true!!

Mary Sue tests are overrated IMO. A lot of what they pick up is "Is this character interesting and special?". Umm, yes? Why would I be writing a story about them if they weren't?

I've totally come to accept that! Even if it's blatant idealized version of the author, I kinda don't care if the story is good!

I'd dread to put my main character through the same test! lol

Thanks Guys! @plymayer: Yup, the Mary Sue strain ignores the Ego, Super-Ego, and goes straight for the Id!!
