If you haven't heard of the The Original Fiction Mary-Sue Litmis Test than you should make yourself familair with it, especially if you are a writing of fiction. There is also a test available for writers of fanfiction and RPGs, as well as a general over all. It's a lot of fun and very helpful. I still use it and sometimes I do it just for fun.
Which is why I put the main characters, Bella Swan and Edward Cullan, from Stephenie Meyer's book Twilight through the test. I haven't read any of the books beyoned Twilight because...It was the worse book I've ever read and I didn't want to read any more by this woman ever again. Moving on, I have never seen anyone get higher than 55 pionts (with 71 points being the max) on this thing...Until now.
The Results:
Bella Swan - 81 points
...yeah...That's 10 pionts over the Max on the charts
Edward Cullan - 98 points
...almost 100...
The Charts:
0-10 points: The Anti-Sue. Your character is the very antithesis of a Mary-Sue. Why are you even taking this test?
11-20 points: The Non-Sue. Your character is a well-developed, balanced person, and is almost certainly not a Mary Sue. Congratulations!
21-35 points: Borderline-Sue. Your character is cutting it close, and you may want to work on the details a bit, but you're well on your way to having a lovely original character. Good work.
36-55 points: Mary-Sue. Your character needs some work in order to be believable. But despair not; you should still be able to salvage her with a little effort. Don't give up.
56-70 points: Über-Sue. You've got one hell of a Mary-Sue on your hands here, and it's not going to be easy to set things right. But do your best. There may be hope for you yet.
71 points or more: Irredeemable-Sue. You're going to have to start over, my friend. I know you want to keep writing, but no. Just no.
