Classic Mary Sue. Try to avoid using that device.
I don't know what Mary Sue means so I tried to search for it...
As I understand it is a supporting character that is much better than the main? One that helps the hero. A perfect fictional character.
What's so wrong about using Mary Sue? I don't think about it negatively.
How could you say it's a Mary Sue just by the description? I don't even have the plot.
I'm just asking. I don't know if I may sound rude or something .. I really do thank you for the advice and add knowledge..hahaha
I read again from another site .. so it doesn't have to be a supporting but a character that have it all...
Ok ok...(⌒▽⌒)
A Mary Sue character is a character that is TOO perfect. The Mary Sue is often a self-insert of the Author in the story. This means that the Author makes themselves part of the story. Often, they give themselves superior beauty, magical powers, and a hoard of handsome suitors. The Mary Sue is also often given a special position over the rest of the characters.
The Mary Sue does not have to be the main character, but is often the main character. They simply have to exist within the story in order to fulfil the authors wishes, often to the demise of any actual plot or development. The existence of Mary Sues often ensure the overall lousiness of any given story, especially with fan fiction, wherein Mary Sues run rampant.

Thank you for the info
I think he is just saying avoid Mary Sue... Not saying my story is a Mary sue... simple text makes us usually misunderstood...
My lady wasn't a Mary Sue.. to be honest I'm trying to make her a little bitchy at first even though she's plain. Yes she is full of struggle and emotion cause she can't find her own love story.. it's a comedy btw.. thanks for wishing me luck.. I wish I could write a lot of chapters...
No, wasn't trolling. Mary Sue is an author self-insert that can also interfere with the MCs with the danger of causing them to veer from canon and lead them to act OOC (out-of-character). It's wish fulfillment, and it's crutch. You'll be a better writer if you can find something within the MCs to cause the drama. It doesn't have to be original, but the way it is resolved should be. Good luck.
Can you please list or at least one, you're favorite yaoi or shonen ai ??
I'm going to write a fanfic with one of the pair every 3-5 chapters.
This is my story description.....
In every BL stories there is this bitch that always comes her way in between; that's me.
'BL' ... before that it's 'Boys Love'. The boy and love doesn't stick together, I am that invisible space. But that space (me) is powerless so they can easily squeeze me and kicked me out like light plastic ball.....
........when they realize they have to be with each other.
I won't ask you to read it or anything cause I'm not confident enough with my English more so on delivery... Hehe
Just want enough suggestions...
Thank you in advance!!!
