Ah, the Mary Sue litmus test.

From what I've seen (here, at least), that's probably the most controversial OC-related test there is on the Net. LOL
Find it here: springhole.net/writing/marysue…

I actually don't think it's too bad. If you don't take it 100% seriously and follow all the rules and such, you won't get freakishly high scores, nor will you feel offended (hopefully).

I use it as a guide, personally. I think it's a useful tool, in fact. c: Just my opinion though.


I was super bored today, so I tested Ryo and Izumi. I know you guys don't know much about them yet (I really need to rework what I've got before I continue the story), but still -- Izumi scored a -4 and Ryo scored a -1.
I've never received a negative score on that test! LOL
I mean, if you test my very first OC -- a Legend of Zelda FC -- you'll get something around a 70, and that's even after following the directions...
I know that the scores on that test are simply suggestions. But perhaps I've been trying to stray from the Sue path so much that I've landed on the Plain Jane path?

I don't know.
Ryo and Zu aren't that plain, are they? I don't think they are, but... :XD:


That reminds me, have any of you guys read my story? :) It's certainly a work in progress; I'm planning on changing lots of things.
I'm just wondering though :dummy: I could use some more constructive criticism on it to kind of start me in the right direction as far as reworking what I've got.



But yeah, I'm bored today.
The fan on my desktop is shot. I had to go buy a new fan today, but surprise! I don't have the tools to replace it. I have to go buy some little tiny screwdrivers tomorrow ._.
I'm honestly not surprised though :XD: The kind of fan I have is supposed to work for about 50,000 hours -- I use my desktop between seven and eighteen hours a day, and it's about a year old. I guess it was time.

At least I've got my old laptop, right? It still works... to an extent. :dummy:
