Mary Sue Reform School Dropouts

[truepenny]

matociquala links to The Original Fiction Mary Sue Litmus Test, and sparks some interesting discussion, too.

Felix scores 45 (and would score considerably higher, except for the part where they count a violent temper negatively rather than positively--the test is sometimes calibrated a little bit against Byron Sues). Mildmay scores 27.

So, if you need him, Felix will be under the bleachers, smoking pot with elaine_andraste.

Pity I'm not his type.

Pfft. Rose comes out between 40 and 51 depending on whether you count stuff that happens over the course of the story and a couple of other places where the answer to the question as asked is neither a straightforward yes nor no, and there seem to be implicit assumptions about why characters have traumatic pasts which I find a bit irksome.
