The Mary-Sue Litmus Test

[nightangel486.livejournal.com]

I took the liberty of filling out this test to see if your character is a Mary Sue for Anita Blake, and here are the results:

"Your Mary Sue Score: 133
71 points or more: Irredeemable-Sue. You're going to have to start over, my friend. I know you want to keep writing, but no. Just no."

The test can be found here:

In particular, I felt the questions such as

"Do you take any negative feedback about the character as a personal affront?" "Is the character a mouthpiece for your own beliefs or views?" quite fitting of LKH, and "Are one or more other characters attracted to her/him? Even though they are involved with someone else or In defiance of sexual orientation?" fits Anita to a T

Ha! I just put Merry Gentry through the test. 185 points, as if that's any surprise.

but merry gentry was a mary sue form the beginning and promised nothing else and so i don't have the same problem with AB

but you are right she is more mary sue than anita (a parody would be superb)

I'm tempted to Mary Sue test myself. Yes, me in real life. Hehe.

She'd probably score off the scale.

*snorts* And to think, she denies Anita is a Sue.

I wonder what she would say about Merry being a Sue...*cough*

Would probably deny that too.
