Speaking of Sparklypoo I'm so embarrassed. I wanted to insert my character into the HP universe through roleplay but keep her individuality as someone from the non-HP world. A lot of things from that short comic were in there. I guess my defense was I was 13-14 and honestly had no idea what a Mary-Sue was or that my character was repetitive.

So it was more of a crossover than anything. But at least I tried to explain why my character was the way she was... I guess. XD

@twilightguardian I believe every writer Sues at one point. I sure did... And I left it on fanfiction-dot-net as a reminder that I've improved.

I thought this YAB movie series was supposed to be mainly bashing all of the twihards. not SM. a little low?

[shmeiliarockie]

Not really. She is her own biggest fan, after all.

Actually, though, although Bella is a Mary Sue, she and Edward do, in fact, have flaws: Bella is an arrogant, selfish, whiny bitch and Edward is an abusive, self-important stalker. The problem here is that although the reader notices them, the characters don't. Perhaps the story would've been better if Meyer had actually taken the time to develop the above-mentioned flaws rather than pretending they don't exist....

I agree.

It is seriously worrying the message Twilight is sending to teenage girls, basically "It doesn't matter if your boyfriend emotionally, mentally and physically abuses you, he does it because because he LOVES you remeber? And also he's totally hot so it doesn't matter how he treats you,"

Twilight is disturbing in so many ways

One teensy little thing I need to say though a little wish fullfillment never hurts, and it's even one of the best things in some series, but it shouldn't completely override actual characterization.

[Sorakeyblademaster37]

Omg you are SOOOOOOOOOO right about real character development being hard! I'm planning to put my character through PTSD and it's HARD trying tp perfect it all.

[DemonicRemption]

@slaughterersrock You just stated exactly what I thought when I read "Twilight." It irritated me that Bella and Edward's flaws weren't addressed, and overcome, as it would've made them more compelling as characters, and would've added more to the story and would have given it a plot.
