User:Jihye/Mary Sue policy

A Mary Sue is a fictional character lacking noteworthy flaws and primarily functioning as a wish-fulfillment fantasy for the author or reader. The author may seem to push how exceptional and wonderful the "Mary Sue" character is on his or her audience, sometimes leading the audience to dislike or even resent the character fairly quickly.

Edited stock photos


Usually, but not always, the character would be a simply-edited stock photo of an existing character.

Please consider on editing like professionals edit when you decided to edit a character's picture. If you only apply light and cheap wardrobe and body editing, it may be deleted. As well, if the character is supposed to be a future child of a character, and it's edited of the mother/father, it should be very different and edited well. If you can though, it is so much preferred to be drawn normally.

"Biting" the newcomers
Normally, one newcomer would create a simple character idea but not include a flaw. This is completely normal; users may eventually think of a flaw later. Although it is important to enforce this policy, newer users may not understand them or be unaware of this policy existing. If a new user creates a Mary Sue, kindly leave a message to them asking to include flaws or remove some skills.

Persistent character creators
If they continue to create Mary Sues, or at least brag about their character, leave a warning on their talk page. If they refuse, leave a two week block.
