I'm doing a community service of protesting against Mary Sues. Seriously, this fandom is being destroyed by Sue fics.
Special thanks to awin-chan for beta-reading.
Dear Suethors

Dear Suethors,
I have been forced by my senpai-tachi into telling you how much we (Yes, we, including me as well.)...
All hate Mary Sues. (Gary Sues and self inserts as well.)
No, I do not have siblings other than Ryoga who isn't even my biological brother. I do not have cousins who suddenly appear here in Japan to beat the crap out of everyone with their "amazing tennis skills". My senpai-tachi are quite satisfied with their families. They do not need anymore extensions on their family trees.
I don't have childhood friends who are better than I am in tennis. I also do not have a female best friend when I was a child.
Foreigners do not just come to Japan and happen to go to our school. Or any of our rival schools for the matter. Nor do I think some random girl can just happen to catch my senpai-tachi's attention and have them fall for her. I know for certain that I, myself, will not. I really doubt anyone else would either. (Except for maybe Horio, but that's not what I'm supposed to write about. Inui-senpai will kill me with his juice if I don't make this clear.)
It's not very often that a girl would cross-dress as a guy to enter a school. I don't want to hear any excuses.
That random girl does not have a genius IQ nor can she just happen to know how to speak six different languages. Much less can she turn pro at a very young age. Besides, I really doubt the pro circuits would let a seven-year-old girl join a Grand Slam Tournament even if she had the skills to beat Roger Federer. (Which she doesn't 'cause then she'd be too good to be true.)
Tezuka-buchou does not change and show emotion just because he met such a beautiful and perfect girl. While "love" may change a person, I do not believe that any of us would go out of character because we love that girl.
Ryuuzaki-sensei does not just let females on the team just because she was too good to be on a girls' team. If she's so good, then she can just join the girl's team and help them improve. I'm pretty sure my senpai-tachi and I can fight our way through without a Sue's help.
We know that all you Suethors will probably ignore this due to your rock filled heads, but we suggest you start listening to the kind people who try to help and criticize you.
If you write about Sues just for yourself, then keep them to yourself and don't post such useless stories on here. This fandom doesn't need any more crap filled stories.
If you are a supporter of Mary Sues, I apologize for writing this, but many people do not enjoy such things. Perhaps you can start your own story on FictionPress since your so-called fanfiction doesn't even go along with this fandom anymore.
That is all I have to write about to all of you. Best of luck, Suethors.
Yours Truly (Not really),
Echizen Ryoma.
P.S. Ryoma-chan and I do not appreciate being torn apart by a girl. We love each other very much. Most of us prefer guys anyway. - Fuji Syusuke
Tezuka twitched as he read the last line. " Fuji! 20 laps!"
"But it's true, isn't it, Tezuka? I saw you eying my Ryoma-chan the other day in the locker room." Fuji smiled a very sweet smile.
"50 laps!" The captain shouted as he saw Ryoma choke on his Ponta upon hearing Fuji's comment.
"Hai hai."
Owari.
Now that wasn't too harsh was it? I just needed to get rid of all the frustrations I had when I saw so many Sues popping up. I apologize for any OOC-ness. Remember, he was forced into doing this. xD
And please don't think I'm a very mean person after reading this. It's just the way everyone turned out. I doubt Ryoma would be so nice if he were to actually "write" this.
Review away. Flames may be welcomed this time.
