I'll get a good title next time. Maybe. But here's a guide to the ***hole in the back row!

Summary: You are absolutely sure your characters are not Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus etc. You have given them flaws, weaknesses, and such believability that they could be reading over your shoulder. So why are people still claiming your character is a MS? It could be in your writing style!

Summary: Do you have animal main characters, but don't know how to go about writing them? Are you afraid of making them "too human"?

Summary: Have people complained about a character being too powerful? Well, this will answer precisely how much power is "too much."

Summary: Yes, character sheets technically aren't allowed on most writing sites, however for those that do allow them, there is a purpose to them, if followed correctly. So, if character sheets can't tell the audience everything about the character, the story or the writing style, how can the reviewer tell the creator that their character might be underdeveloped? In otherwords, a Mary-Sue?

Summary: Have people complained to you that your characters or story aren't realistic enough? But do you have a reason, and now you're unsure? What if I told you that you don't always have to write realistically?

Summary: Has anyone complained about your character's name for one reason or another? Was it because it was too plain, or perhaps too "strange"? Or maybe it just didn't fit somewhere? Maybe it was because it was a too popular name or a name that had been used too often? Is it that one aspect of your character that makes people call your character a Mary-Sue?

While names are somewhat important, it's certainly something that shouldn't be considered the number one way to declare whether your character's a Sue or not, and here's why.

Summary: So...you want to try your hand at OF? But where to begin?
