Test your original fanfiction and/or RP character' with the Mary Sue Litmus test and post your score.

Sean of Chronicles of Sean
Score: 19, Probably Not a Mary-Sue, but it could go either way.

I tried out Chad from Our Summer Vacation and--
30+
Fanfiction authors beware - Mary's on the loose. There's still a chance you can save this character with some TLC, though. Role-players and original fiction characters, you should also strongly consider giving your character a workover.

Tried Ga Gut Hum from The Infestation of Ga Gut Hum and got a 4. It seems that this test isn't really made for fat alien telepath froggies.

[NateSean]

I like this test because it's very broad and can apply to anyone's character. What's really fun is trying it on established characters like Duncan Macleod of Highlander.

[Gumby]

A character of mine in progress, An assistant Researcher in the Faction of Xenological Cultures named Macel Fitch, got 31.  Are average joe characters mary sues now?

My second test was not suprisingly 56. It's fun to write about an incredibly dangerous bounty hunter, what can I say?

[NateSean]

You definitely shouldn't let it discourage you. Like I said, there are plenty of characters from well established fiction that are way above fifty on this test.

Sometimes the average Joe is too good to be true. Sometimes he's just right.

My most recent character, Illim in the GESB, got a 7.

I've come a long way from my first-ever character (from a novel I wrote in 7th grade), who scored a whopping 75 points. Yeeesh.

[NateSean]

I've had some gems. I wish I could dig up some of the stories I wrote when I was in seventh grade.

     Alright, so I did it and, at first, I got a 36. I thought about it and said, "Well...I didn't think David Matherson was a Mary Sue...I made sure to make him as ordinary as possible." I mean, he has powers but it's an ANIMORPHS fanfic [for those interested, David Matherson is the narrator in my fanfic, "These Are the Wars"--my first real fanfic, too], so it's only natural that he gets powers. He's a soldier in a lowly resistance group based in New York and, through circumstance (and betrayal from one the his fellow renegades [too late for a spoiler?]) ends up in the clutches of a Visser in the Yeerk Empire.

     Anyways, I wanted to go through the test, to see if I went anywhere wrong, and I noticed that I accidentally checked off the first question--is your character's name based off, or a variation of your own name (or something like thay) 

     So, apparently, that added ten points to my score. My name is obviously not David Matherson, so my score is 26, which makes a lot more sense than the first score.

I did the same thing for a character I have on a different site.  So my 40 was really a 30.  It's still not a great score, but better than it was.  I think I may have answered some questions inaccurately though (or maybe my character really is very Mary Sueish ).  At any rate, the test gave me some things to think about, for both my current characters and ones I may create in the future.

[TobiasMasonPark]

     Well, some of the questions they have on there aren't exactly what I consider to be "Mary-suish", exactly.

[Baranth]

I did the test twice, first for my main female character at her most powerful, then again for how she normally is.

First test was a 47, second was a 21.

Sounds like Sailor Moon, doesn't it?

[MoppingBear]

tropes are not bad though, and while its hard to write a mary sue character well, its not impossible

[radgeek]

82 for Josefina Woodhouse also from Our Summer Vacation.

[Nar Klawip]

26 for fanfic character Tempever

Well, he is a Howler raised by Pemalites.

I should finish that story and put it up on here.
