Summary: This is the first of many of my guides that explains the different facets of Mary-Sues. Here, you'll learn what Mary-Sues are, what they are not, how to create a balanced character, and what to do if you see a suspected Suethor.
This is based on my observations and opinions on various writing sites, and I believe that Mary-Sues are more than just the characters themselves. I have many more guides, which are compiled as a series here called "Mary-Sue: Who is She?" So if you have more questions, maybe one of my other guides can answer them.

Summary: I hope I don't offend anyone when I say that, in general and on average, Lunaescence writers are probably a bajillion times more sophisticated and mature than Quizilla writers.

I'm posting this here, Luna users, so that you all can laugh at how I'm actually hopeful that this might change something.
