This is the funniest thing I've read yet! Even better, it's actually educational! *Karmas* *blushes* Aw, you're nice. Can I give you a hug? Seriously, now that I read it over again, it kind of does sound like an educational story on what not to do when creating an Avatar OC. Or how to spot an Avatar Mary Sue. Your pick. The only other sueish trait I can think of is when characters are unusually/ornately dressed. If you are a penniless orphan, it's highly unlikely you will wear delicate robes with intricate silver and turquoise inlays, that perfectly compliment the fathomless depths of your wounded blue eyes. Seriously, when was the last time you stopped in the middle of the day and wasted several minutes thinking to yourself about the exquisite gorgeousness of your everyday clothing? UGH, I know! If you're an orphan living on the streets with no money, it's more likely you'd be dressed in rags and not silk kimonos (unless you stole fine clothing...). Anyway, this was great, and I really enjoyed reading it. (Which is something I almost never say, unless it is absolutely warranted.) Glad you enjoyed it.

"It's not enough for you that my beauty is so blinding that every person I talk to has to close their eyes?! It's not enough that I've been the girlfriend of practically EVERY SINGLE GUY existed?! It's not enough for you that I have to die at the end of every one of your so-called fanfics?! Dying hurts, cheese heads! I'm always the one to jump in front of Zuko, or Aang, or Jet, or Sokka and die a horrible, painful death, and yet, you still hate me?!"
lol very good. Poor Mary Sue she always gets killed off . Please write more!

This was pure brilliance! *karma*
Do you know what annoys me most about these Mary-Sue characters? How flippantly the author gives them an abused childhood, to make them more tragic/angsty/sad/brave
This, in my opinion is NOT cool. I'm not one to spill personal information over the internet but, lets just say that I know well how abuse can wriggle deeply into someones memories, eroding their self confidence, appearing again with such an horrific force that you can barely look anyone in the eye, let alone have steamy encounters with dark handsome young men. Abuse victims are the LAST people who would be popular and the life of the party, in most cases they sink into themselves it can destroy lives and can follow you all your life, even if proper counseling is recieved. So please THINK before giving your OC a tragic backround

LOL That's a good fanfic. If anyone ever had a question on what's a Mary Sue, just send them this!!! Get a leson on what not to do and get a little lulz.
You got my karma!

Abuse victims are the LAST people who would be popular and the life of the party, in most cases they sink into themselves it can destroy lives and can follow you all your life, even if proper counseling is recieved. So please THINK before giving your OC a tragic backround I agree. Really, if someone has a dark/tragic past, they're not going to come out of it without any issues or problems. Think of Zuko or Inuyasha or even Anakin for examples. I mean, you're certainly going to be affected if your own father burned half of your face off and kicked you out of your own home. You're certainly going to be affected if you were shunned from society your whole life simply because of your hertiage. You're certainly going to be affected if you were basically responsible for your wife dying, your twin children having to grow up seperately, and the deaths of millions of people that include the man who was once your best friend. I think the reason Mary Sues always have tragic pasts and aren't really affected by them is because said tragic past is simply used as a plot device so Mary Sue and her love interest can have a bonding session of mutual angst.

Haha, sheer brilliance! This makes me smile. I like the idea poking fun at basically all the worst cliches about Mary Sues.
I burst out laughing at "I HATE TOPH!"

Brilliantly done: I am very familiar to Mary Sues and Gary Stu's.
I exalt your abilities to weave this together.
