Re: Creator's Attitudes Toward Their Creations

[jaybie_jarrett]

I don't think I need to do bad things to my characters to write them well -- what if the story doesn't warrant bad things happening? -- but I mustn't flatter them. It isn't giving a character particular traits that makes him or her a Mary Sue, it's belittling the other characters to make the chosen character seem more impressive that makes the chosen character unrealistic and annoying.

OMG YES. THANK YOU YES.

I agree. I see so many people who focus on traits that are deemed "Mary Sue Traits" when it is THIS that is the real problem. It's character FAVORITISM. You could create a very ordinary high school student , but if you make her the center of the universe? BAM Mary Sue.
