I feel so stupid but ....

Argh! I feel totally embarrased for asking this question, as I have a feeling I should know but ...

What/who is 'Mary Sue'?

I know, I know, but I have to admit I can't remember or don't even know if I've heard of it. Can someone please explain, because I do have a Ducks FANFIC ... but I don't know what a 'Mary Sue' is ... HELP!

Oh, thank u for that! I don't know if my charaters a mary-sue type [surely hope not, and I don't really see her as it is], so I've decided to answer, those questions that's on queertet.net ... in hope to give people an idea on what she's like ... and if they see her as one of them! [BY THE WAY, I am VERY new to FF, so this is my VERY first Ducks fic!, letting you know ;)]

Does she have a cool nickname?

Not really, only occasionally called 'Shell' by her brother ... but very rarely.

Is she exceptionally pretty?

I don't see her as the perfect model type ... she's more of a tomboy.

Do you constantly tell readers what she’s wearing? (double points if she’s wearing a slogan T-shirt - triple points if the slogan is “Angel” on the front and “You Wish!” on the back)

I don't think I have done that!

Do the characters ask if she’s anorexic/bulimic because they just can’t understand how she keeps such a perfect figure?Nope not at ( ... )

Charlie's father isn't dead, we're lead to believe that he was an abusive man, but it's never really stated. The quote is "Mom and I left him, I don't really remember, but that's what she says."

And your character doesn't sound like a sue. There are some great examples of sues over at ducks_sues

Oh, and for anyone coming by the site again, the link has changed to
http://www.queertet.net/MarySue.html - the extension has changed again. Sorry, I was having issues.
