Re: How do I NOT Write a Mary-Sue?

People are not obligated to even comment that. They can just go "what a goddamned Sue" to themselves and backbutton out. Start following the advice here and only taking seriously when you get solid crit, that just is dumb advice amigo. You come back at the people who tell you it is a Sue and they will just be all "Okay, I'm walking away now" and you'll lose them all the faster. The only way to avoid Sue-accusation is by natural character development over time. Create your character as just a background extra with lines in another fic and over the course of a canon of work slowly increase their part one line at a time.

It'd help if you told us the canon you are writing for, of course, cause then we can advise you how to make your character best fit. Unless it is MLP they are not going to be accepting of a stranger interfering in their lives right out of the blue. Hell, even then. Some canon characters in other canons spend the entire run of the show from season one to season twelve refusing to accept any additions or new faces. You gotta be realistic about this and work with the canon personalities.

I love how you seem to think that if your critique is questioned that the author's whole readership will just drop the fic with you.

Not everybody is as softskinned as you are, hon.
