The Mary-Sue in the first story is not nearly as annoying as some (although still annoying, mind you)--she just looks like a popular actress and doesn't have freaky eyes or hair. But look at this:

<i>Dylan and Alex went down the aisle I was at and stopped to see what I was looking at. "Wow, they're snakeskin boots. They will match your pants exactly." "Yeah, and I'm in luck because they only have one pair left. And oh my god, it's my shoe size too (A/N: her shoe size is 61/2)."</i>

WHAT THE C*L*BR**N?

She has in-text author's notes about her character's SHOE SIZE?

I had no idea that even a Mary-Sue author could get this obsessed about her character. This smells like borderline troll to me, but surely if it were a troll, Mary-Sue would have golden eyes and chartreuse hair or some other equally screwed-up combination.

By the way, thanks to a missing space, Mary-Sue has size 30.5 shoes. She may be perfect in every other way known to man, but she has freaking big feet.

She is also 5'7" and weighs 40lbs. I think we have a contender for the 'Skinniest Sue Ever' award. She should be in the hospital, getting treated for anorexia at that weight. (NT) -- Gloria, Mon, Nov 10 2003, 22:00:00
- 5'7" and 40 lbs.??? She should be DEAD. Even at 40 _kilos_ she'd be anorexic. (NT) -- Morgan Lucretia, who has to clean her keyboard yet again, Tue, Nov 11 2003, 17:52:28
