Mary Sues & Gary Stus

Fanfiction Pet Peeves (Tips & How-to's)

Rant/Tip 13:

Woah. Long time since we updated, right? Life is going tough guise, sorry about that. Alright, after seeing kpopheart's comment, I decided to rant about 'overly-perfect-people' ~

First of all, what is a Mary Sue? 

Mary-Sue A female fanfiction character who is so perfect as to be annoying.

Often, the Mary Sue is a self-insert with a few "improvements" (ex. better body, more popular, etc). The Mary Sue character is almost always beautiful, smart, etc... In short, she is the "perfect" girl. The Mary Sue usually falls in love with the author's favorite character(s) and winds up upstaging all of the other characters in the book/series/universe. 

- - - - - - - - - -- - - 

That's a Mary Sue.

Where's the real people? The real word?

When authors describe someone as, "So beautiful she shined brighter than the sun."

Like really -.- 

NO. JUST-- NO.

Gary Stus. 

Same exact term. Just a male. Is usually the perfect, hot, y kingka. I mean lettuce be realistic.. does a regular guy spend 3 hours at home, ALONE, reading?!

No. They're either watching , fapping off, walking around the house , or eating the whole kitchen. 

Believe it or not. 

Yes. Even your precious male idols watch p0rn. 


Tbh.. a lot of readers like it when the lead character is a Mary Sue. And the Mary Sue is YOU /facepalm.

Authors do that to make themselves feel better. 

-.-

FACE THE TRUTH NO ONE IS ING PERFECT OKAY. 


Sorry if I offended anyone. 

Here is a gif spam to lighten your mood!

kbye.

Chapter 18: I HATE it when writers write a really good description thing, and then when you actually read the story, the grammar and spelling is disgraceful. I'm just like ASDFGHJKL GO BACK TO SCHOOL ALREADY! It annoys the hell out of me.

Chapter 21: This would probably tie in with the Mary-Sue chap, but I think it deserves its own mention-- stories where EVERY single member of a group falls in love with ONE girl. I especially see it in Super Junior and EXO fandom, like 12 guys in love with one perfect girl that understands them all...There are no words for this...and then to make it worse, all of the boya act out-of-character and backstab/fight with each other in order to get the girl, and then she makes some cliche declaration about not fighting each other and dates them all at the same time and nobody ever calls her a ____ because it's twoo luv >_>. Rant over, sorry about that, once I get started I dont stop.

Chapter 21: I have a slight visual impairment and some fonts just make me cry, and I mean this literally, as size 8 curly wurly script in a pastel colour burns my eyeballs. I hate it when I read a really good description in size 12 black arial and then chapter 1....bam!!! Bye bye eyeballs.

If the story seems worth it, I have been known to send a message to get the font changed. And god bless those who do. And screw those who don't!

Chapter 17: May I rant here too? O3O

Oh well since we're talking about fan fiction pet peeves. I hate it when the story is just absolutely random when the plot line is so serious or if the twist is just so ____ing stupid. Like this one Big Bang story I read, the girl couldn't even defend herself in the first chapters then all of a sudden she's the mother ____ing best female gangster out there? It's just wrong or the author should've just foreshadowed the twist in some way so that we wouldn't be sitting here saying "WTF?"
