A/N: For people who are wondering if they have a Mary Sue on their hands, this is for you. I don't own anything, and if I offend you in any way, I am deeply sorry.
Also, this is REALLY old. I am just posting this as I figured that littler me would have preferred that to be done. Anyways, on with the show!

Scene 1- Starting out

List of Characters:

Authoress

Mary Sue

In an empty space in FanFictionLand, there was a desk top computer with a bored, crazy future Author-to-Be...

Authoress: Well, here it is. My first story.

(The Authoress turns around and looks at her original character, Mary Sue. Mary Sue is a perfect silvery blonde with striking icy blue eyes. Her face is beautiful but stone cold in a beautiful way, with a scar across her cheek which makes her even more alluring. She wears clothes so beautiful they cannot be described in a simple sentence. As she speaks, her words sound like the Godess of Love speaking to you, alluring you in her perfect seductive voice.)

Mary Sue: Congratulations! What's it about?

Authoress: We're in it right now, and you're the star, of course. To all of you reading out there, welcome.

(Mary Sue looks straight at the readers, utterly confused.)

Authoress: You can't see them, but they're watching us. Anyway, this is a Mary Sue test. I suggest you do this if you have an original character, or an OC.

Mary Sue: Why am I here again?

Authoress: To show everyone what a Mary Sue is. The point of this is not to help me with my writing, but to help the new fanfictioneers with theirs..

Mary Sue: Fanfictioneers?

(Authoress turns around and faces the readers, ignoring Mary Sue's statement. Authoress takes out a short stack of papers)

Authoress: This is the basic Mary Sue test, however, more will be added on later to go into specific categories. If you have five OCs and I have ten tests, you're gonna have to do this 50 times.

(Mary Sue understands what is going on in her Mary Sue-like ways and faces the readers with a huge smile)

Mary Sue: That's right. Each test is for a certain category, and the first few will be two tests- one for a certain branch of Transformers and one for a branch on my family tree.

Authoress: Correct. This one is a basic test, to go over all overall rules and guidelines to the format of my version of the tests that have been done but in a Transformers related genre, such as the Original Mary Sue Litmus ... or was it Original Litmus Mary Sue test?

(Authoress ponders in deep thought, while Mary Sue stands up to explain more.)

Mary Sue: This is going to be written in a light-hearted format, to make it easier to read. However, me and my family are huge problems.

(Authoress snaps out of deep thought to explain the last part)

Authoress: Some of the questions will be written in that do NOT have points. If you have a Beta Reader, a close friend, or perhaps yourself, they will look over the questions to see if the character may qualify for being a Mary Sue.

Mary Sue: I am a creation of the Authoress, but there's tons of others named Mary Sue. Including the original from Star Trek...

Authoress: And I don't own them. On with the show!

THE BEGINNING: MARY SUE BASIC TEST

This basic test is to see if any original character, fit for the Transformers franchise owned by Hasbro, qualifies for being the famed "Mary Sue". Although this test is yet to be tested, it will be changed with complaints filed by reviewers. Not all characters labeled "Mary Sue" in this test is Mary Sue, and vice versa.

81 and above:You may want to scrap this character RIGHT NOW!

THE END: Basic Mary Sue Test

(The Authoress sighs heavily)

Authoress: Now, this isn't exactly a perfect Mary Sue test. There is no perfect Mary Sue test. Ever.

Mary Sue: Yup!

(Mary Sue flashes a perfect smile as she transforms into a silver metal techno-organic who radiated with AllSpark power)

Mary Sue: Now then... my friends, you shall see me in action along with the Autobots and the Decepticons to demonstrate my WONDERFUL abilities. Until then, I must destroy evil!

(Mary Sue disappears in a bright flash of light, leaving silver AllSpark dust. The Authoress stares at the spot)

Authoress: ... AllSpark dust?

(The Authoress sighs, then gets on the internet and randomly surfs around until she falls asleep on the keyboard)
