Mary Sues...

After recommending the Mary Sue Litmus Test to that girl I blogged about last night, I figured I'd take it for Lin, with whom the words "Mary Sue" had never crossed my mind. The test is long, and I scored a 28 on it - which is borderline Mary Sue. "Suish tendencies" it says.

Now, I'm not going to freak out about it because that would be so dumb, but it's given me a good idea of how I could perhaps counter this, things that I hadn't considered for my first draft.

I decided last night I kind of want to print it all out at Kinko's or somewhere and edit this one by hand. It's less than 70 pages right now (that will change soon) and I believe it would be reasonably inexpensive to do this. Yay!
