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

What I try to do is balance out a flaw with a "sue" trait. She may be very beautiful, but she's not good at socializing. Things like that. Sometimes I even use the Litmus test to get a rough idea about what's a "sue" trait and what's not.

No matter what, SOMEONE will scream "Mary-Sue!" Just ignore them. If you're character is interesting, has a few legit flaws and people like her, then keep doing what your doing.

But remember they've got to be genuinely bad at that trait. It cannot be the cool internet version or you get the Quirky Agent from NCIS who has a bunch of "negative" traits to balance out her brilliant brain and easy acceptance which make her cute and quirky and a rare canon sue.
