What do yo


Like Mary-Sue, Gary-Stu, Anti-Sue, etc.


Answer
The male version of a Mary-Sue is called either a Gary or Larry-Stu
A Cannon-Sue is a Mary-Sue that is actually IN the book/movie/whatever (Bella from Twilight for example, is often times considered a Canon-sue
Fanon-Sue is the opposite- a character that either is NOT in the original work or is not a Mary Sue in the original work (so these will be found only in fanfiction and such)
Black Hole Sue- A Mary Sue that is basically the ENTIRE point of the work.
God Mode Sue- SUPER SUPER POWERFULLLLLLL!!!!
Jerk Sue- Total jerk, yet everybody still loves them?
Relationship Sue- A Mary Sue whose ONLY purpose is to be in a relationship with another character.
Sympathetic Sue- Full of wangst, this Sue is one we're supposed to feel sorry for. Has a tragic backstory, is probably unlucky in love, and is just generally likely to make sad puppy dog eyes at the audience.
Anti-Sue- Totally useless. Basically the complete opposite of a God Mode Sue. And yet, we're still supposed to love them.
Fixer Sue- almost exclusive to fanworks, exists to "fix" the problems a fan sees in the original works


The Ace- May not always be a Mary Sue, but is pretty darn close. Basically, he's the guy who gets the girl, saves the day, and is generally awesome with a snap of his fingers. Examples include Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter and Harvey Dent from The Dark Knight.

The Scrappy- This is a character that good portion of the fans absolutely hate. Not all the fans. But a lot. It is named such for Scrappy Doo, who was more or less despised by Scooby doo fans. Other infamous Scrappys include Jar Jar Binks from the Star Wars prequels and Dawn from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The Wesley- This is very similar to the Scrappy. It's more or less a character that is VERY much disliked by the fans, but is LOVED by the writer(s), though they generally don't do anything useful and usually don't get punished, even when doing bad things. It is named after Wesley Crusher, from one of the Star Treks, who was hated by most of the fans, but kept getting more and more screen time, because one of the writers loved his character. Other infamous Wesley's include Kate from Lost (whom half the fans wanted to kill by the second season but managed to be one of the few characters who made it to the end) and Mr. Krabs from Spongebob (disliked by many fans and never seems to be punished for any of the terrible things he does, or even have them be acknowledged as wrong).

The Karma Houdini- A character who never get's punished. For anything. Ever. They might do terrible things, but they tend to get away with it more or less without any sort of punishment. Examples include Long John Silver from Treasure Island and Alex Russo from Wizards of Waverly Place

Fanfiction help! Any help?

Okay, I need some help people I asked this question before and now all I want is a real answer. I am writing a fanfiction based on every cartoon, comic or manga character ever made. Now in my fan fiction Naruto has Katara as a penpal and I, for some exact reason, want her to fall in love with Kankuro.......... But Kankuro hate Katara but in the end he falls in love with her... How can I plan this out? Give me some good ideas too.
All of the cartoons are in another universe from ours.... I didn't get but explain so but this is what it is. I happened to like fan fictions so I decided to make a soap cartoon fan fiction. But I will switch main characters season through season. I just hope you all get what I'm trying to say.



Answer
That is so awesome. I admire your powers of creativity (and envy them as well) really, I do! Avatar rocks.

But I think you should abandon the idea of getting every single animated character ever created. You'd have to put every character from every anime/manga, as well as every american cartoon (are you SURE you want Spongebob frolicking among the plot?) and every single Marvel or D.C. comic characte put into ink. That would be really hard.

Put yourself in the footsteps of Zutara. Katara hates Zuko; Zuko doesn't hate Katara as much, but he doesn't exactly like her either. They begin to see how much they have in common, and then become friends once Zuko (I mean Kankuro) saves her sister or cat or something. Then they start to realize how attractive the other is and...let the love begin.
Heyyy, I like that idea myself! But I'm not much into the Romance genre, so you can take it.

Happy writing! Post a link to your story on fanfiction.net when you're done!
