Mary Sue: (noun) an idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character with little to no flaws. "Mary Sues" is a book chock-full of those characters we love to hate. They can be found almost anywhere, from DeviantArt to fanfiction sites, these repulsive creatures have creeped into every corner of our world- and you have just stumbled upon the largest concentration of these horrific characters on Wattpad. Sinfully shameless. Painfully perfect. ALERT: I am currently looking for users to join my Mary Sue team until APRIL 16th! Anybody can join, just ask!

This is about how to improve your OC so that it's not too Mary Sue/Gary Stu. It also looks into tropes and cliches, overall helping with storytelling. OC reviews are also welcome for those that want their OCs to be checked. (OC REVIEWS ARE CLOSED) Note: Some chapters are very outdated!! I only just started updating some parts of them but I'll try to edit when I can.

So, I was doing a critique tonight. And it was the person’s first book. And I was writing a bunch of the same things that I’ve written on a million other critiques since I started on Wattpad. And, it occurred to me that I keep giving people the same advice—advice that nobody gave me—and advice that beginner writer’s NEED. So I decided to put some of it down in a book, although I’m guessing most people won’t read it. Haha But the title pretty much says it all...
