Fanfiction: the definition of Mary-Sue

[Elennar Starfire]

Legolas/Smaug? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Sounds like someone smoked a little too much pipeweed!

That link to the hobbit story isn't working for me! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Anyway, one more question, and this time it's on topic!

so no fics about Pippin's love interest unless her name is Diamond of Long Cleave

As that is as good an example for me to use as any, I shall use it!

Supposing you have an OC in Middle-Earth and Pippin has a romantic interest in her. She has no special powers or great beauty and is not adored by everyone, she does not change events in any significant way, she dies or is otherwise removed from the story, and Pippin presumably returns to the Shire and marries Diamond. Is she a Sue?

Edit: Yes, Tinker, you squeed.
