Classic Mary-Sue syndrome symptoms. November 2 2002 at 9:50 AM		Chicken of The Sea


This may be a little Off Topic, but since ReBoot fanfiction is plauged with a boatload of Mart-Sues, I deemed this worthy of a post. I was looking around FF.net, and found this gem. I couldn't even get past the second sentance without breaking down into laughter. See what you think: "Kristy awoke in the middle of the night. She brushed back her shoulder-length black hair and sat up. She glanced at the small clock on the old dresser beside her bed, and her sharp green eyes went wide. She had planned to leave hours ago. The orphanage had been her home for almost eighteen years. Now she was turning eighteen, and was due to be released." Oh my.
