after all this fanfiction, I've been worried I may have a mary-sue
the test said otherwise, but I still want to know
How to prevent a character from going Mary-sue
Preventions:
1) don't let every single guy fall in love with the same girl- that's so unrealistic; one girl wouldn't have a million guys want to be with her
1.5) Or make all the guys fall in love with her, but the surprise twist is she is a lesbian
2) Give her an ugly scar somewhere REALLY noticeable... like on her face. That, or acne.
3) make her moderately attractive and not a swimsuit model
4) Stick to one personality, unless it's "her time of the month"o:
5) She should be an ugly duckling and the guy who likes her even as an ugly little dork with ten billion pimples and buck teeth and braces gets the now-mature hot chick in the end.
And then he grows up and turns out to be a real d**k. The end.

make a few guys fall in love with some else for change!

I mean it can get boring when all the guys fall in love with one person.

Original! This is the same plot twist that my teacher incorporated into her story. It is very happy-making and anti-Twilight, which makes me happy.

#5: She should be an ugly duckling and the guy who likes her even as an ugly little dork with ten billion pimples and buck teeth and braces gets the now-mature hot chick in the end.

And then he grows up and turns out to be a real d**k. The end. smile

Avoid having outrageous physical features without any meaning. For example, this gal would look just...wow in an everyday setting. However, she has a strange background to explain it and the story she's in is pretty much just crack anyway.
