Okay, I got this stuff long time ago. Originally this is written to check any Mary Sue from Tolkien fandom. You know how things work, with Legolas being there and Glorfindel (for some who bother to read the book, that's it) and any other 'hot' elves. Mary Sue flooded that fandom and what can I do? I'm just one me. A fujoshi whom if make a self-inserted fic will doing well as both Matchmaker and Mary-sue Slayer. No offense… ^^

So, currently I transfer this test from Tolkien verse to Harry Potter Verse for guide any newbie in case they will write any fic. Heyy, be brave to write is good. But better ask some more experienced one before publish or some flame will discouraged you! My very own first fic is also a Mary-sue one who almost got killed by OC Villain akin to Bellatrix and got saved by Harry with first kiss due to her rare blood creature inheritance. I know that's silly, I'm ashamed of myself. Fortunately I never publish it, and when I finally have a chance to type it on my notebook, I lost my courage to do so. Okay, enough with my rambling. Take the test and enjoy. Oh, if there's any other question you might like to add it to the list, put it on review box….^^ happy write! Writers are awesome! More awesome than hippogryff! And reviewers are awesome beyond beliefs! More awesome than James Potter! #hexedtothehellandback

Result:

If you answered "yes" to…

0-3 questions:
Congratulations, you deserve a medal! There's nothing Mary-Sue-like in your character. Keep up the good work!

4-6 questions:
Hmm… not too bad. You may need to reconsider some aspects of your character, but in general she seems harmless enough.

7-10 questions:
It's getting warmer! Unless you want the FLAMES to lick higher, I suggest you make some major changes to your character. At least get rid of the unicorn.

11-15 questions:
This is serious. You must do something about your character immediately! As it is, she's unrealistic and highly annoying. Give her some flaws and make her less perfect, and she might still have a chance.

16-25 questions:
Oh my God! Kill her now, and the readers might still survive your story without having to gnaw their own leg off! However, if you decide to keep her, she WILL BURN IN FLAMES.

Over 25 questions:
Congratulations, you've managed to build the prototype of Mary-Sue! Your story is without any doubt unpublishable, but don't delete it: the novelty value is so big some collectors might pay you good money to get it into their secret archive!
