Fanfiction: the definition of Mary-Sue

[Lily Bracegirdle]

Legolas and Smaug? With Leggy as tops? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Sounds mighty dangerous, not to mention abrasive. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I saw a funny story where Faramir and Eomer are trapped in a cave by a torrential downpour, at which point Eomer goes off about how it's some fangirl's attempt to get them nude together. It used to be at ff.net but I can't seem to find it. Drat.

The hobbit link isn't working for me either. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Elennar Starfire, it doesn't sound as if your OC is a Sue. Killing her off is a teeny bit 'Sue-ish, but can be easily overlooked if the rest of the story is non-Sue-y. Having things just not work out between her and Pippin would be even less Sue-ish. Actually, I don't think I've ever seen a 'Sue that was a hobbit -- or a dwarf. They're usually elves, half-elves or humans. Or something weird, like vampires or "half-unicorns."

Ainaserkewen, how do you like the fic? I just saw that it's been finished by the author -- rather abruptly, IMO, which I was sorry to see. The story you described sounds awful. Most of the 'Sues I've seen have been all sweetness-n-light, but you're right, that one being evil didn't make her less of a 'Sue.
