User blog:TurtleShroom/"Universal Mary Sue-Test" - Do You Dare Take It?

Hello everyone!


 * It had bothered me for a while when users use the term "Mary-Sue" to describe characters like Swiss Ninja or the protagonist from that infamous book I hate, "Twilight".


 * The reason is simple: I had absolutely no idea what "Mary-Sue" meant! I looked it up and realized that it's a literary device, a bad one.


 * With further research, I figured out that there is a Mary-Sue Test. I screened the whole thing, and though appropriate for folks my age, it may not suit the Masses, as it swears exactly three times at my count, and it heavilly mentions the more "unfortunate" aspects of reproducing as questions qualifying a Mary-Sue character.


 * Therefore, for anyone who dares to learn their poor character's literary fate, I'll run your character through the Test, though a few questions are opinions of the writer and must be answered by the writer. Anything like that will be pre-asked before a request to submit a character.


 * When taking tests for myself or for others, I never cheat the test. It is agaisnt my religion to rig a test or to cheat one, and it is ALSO against my religion to bias a test just because I don't like something or someone. I guarentee honest, accurate results based on an honest and outside third-party.


 * THE SCORING WORKS AS FOLLOWS: "0-16 is in no way a Mary-Sue, with the test reccomending an addition\ of something special. 17-21 is excellent, they have talents but aren't overshadowing everyone else. 22-29 says the character has, quote, 'some definite Sue-like tendancies here', but is NOT a Mary Sue. 30-36 is a Mary-Sue if in fan fiction, and a warning in RPG and original works. 36-50 means a fan fiction rewrite and an annoyance in original stories and RPG. 50+ is 100% Mary-Sue and the site suggests scrapping the character entirely."


 * Do you dare to figure out if your chracter is a Mary-Sue (or a Swiss Ninja)? WOULD you like to know? Any character who steps up to the challenge will recieve their test ranking on the comments section.


 * Stay tuned for the opinion questions, those must be answered before I begin!

Psst... Speeddasher, run your character through, I was rather shocked at some of the questions...
