About the interactions:

For those who don't know: Interactive fiction is where the readers/audience decide on how the story will go. Like the Choose Your Own Adventure books of the recent past, so will you choose what adventure our beautiful young Sue, Ebony Sunshine Twilight-lily Subtility, will attempt to complete, perhaps grabbing some real characterization and friends in the process.

However, unlike other threads, this story will not be written by every person who stops by. Unfortunately, I've found those types of stories ("round robins," I believe they're called) don't really work out too well after the first few posts. To keep things simple, and to let everybody have a chance at brainstorming, only I (and any guest writers that PM me beforehand) will write the story.

♥♀♥♀♥♀♥

About how you can interact:

Within this story, all the brainstormers can either develop three things: the Plot; the Setting; and the Characters (our dear Sues).

The Plot: The brainstormer makes up what our Sue will do, i.e., what our Sue's adventure will be. It can be anything from throwing a ring down a volcano, to killing a dragon that's terrorizing a village, to even overthrowing an evil king. What happens next depends on this little thingy right here.

The Setting: From a medieval fantasy setting with ogres and dragons, to a typical shonen action series's urban setting, what things will look like, what species will appear, and what natural obstacles will challenge for our Sue will be decided by this die.

The Characters: Our Sues. Our main characters. The brainstormers will determine what they will essentially be, what their motives (or lack thereof) are, and how they will react to certain events.

To make these Sues effective, we will be using several outside sources to supplement our meager pool of Sue traits. Our checklists will include:

• The TV Tropes Common Mary-Sue Traits page
  
• The Universal Mary-Sue Litmus Test page
  
• Wikihow's Avoid Making a Mary-Sue page

* PM me the link if you want another list here.

At the end of this story, every character has to have -- at the very least -- a score of fifty on one Mary-Sue litmus test of your choice, all right?

This story ends when we reach the goals our Sues are aspiring to complete. Those goals can be anything from having sex with another HAWT character to becoming TEH MASTR OF TEH UNIVERZ!!!!

Have fun, dear Suethors.

Chapter One

A Traditional Sue Entry

Hello. My name is Ebony Sunshine Twilight-lily Subtility, and I have long brown hair reaching my waist, eyes that sparkle like jewels (emeralds, diamonds and opals, as they are most commonly compared to), and clear, unblemished skin that sparkles in the sunlight. When I grow angry, my eyes change color; when merry, my feet become swift like a stallion's; when exhausted, I swoon dramatically into the arms of any nearby stranger's arms, who will also, as it always does, turn out to be in love with me. My smile is so radiant the sun feels jealous when I so much as giggle. I also burp rainbows, but that's only when I'm gassy, and that only happens when I feed of crow's blood, and let's not talk about it, all right?

Also, I'm a man.

Yeah.

It's a strange life. I'm so beautiful any men nearby will fall into such an obsessive love with my image, they end up gouging out their eyes with a rusty nails. Most guys tend to also become stalkers when they encounter me in town; I've had twenty at once (my own personal record) follow me in a large group and try to...do things to me. When I talk with them, they try to have their way with me, kissing, hugging, hand-holding...other things, et cetera. You can imagine I don't really make male friends.

I don't make many female friends, either, as a matter of fact. They sort of just look at me and break out into batshit insane hysterics. Their catfights are rather epic, though, I have to admit. I once saw a girl do a handstand into a backflip into throwing a knife with her foot. Luckily, I've gotten pretty good at dodging, so the knife meant for me hit the crazy lady also trying to kill me that was standing behind me. Also luckily, I've developed a small bit of sociopathy. I don't care what happens to those around me nowadays. Lucky me.

...I don't have any friends, actually. Just a couple of birds and a few fuzzy little mammals, but they don't speak my language and tend to crap in my food. I don't dislike them, but I would rather have a crazy bitch that's envious of my beauty and trying to kill me as a companion than a mouse corpse fizzy from rabies and fleas.

I want a name change, too. And a haircut. And to be more handsome, because being a straight man being hit on by strange men all the time? It just doesn't stop being weird. I like women, but for some reason I attract men, and only men. The only woman I talked to who didn't try to maim me was supposed to be my best friend—but that didn't last long. Yes, she was a traitorous bitch that wanted to kill me, too, why do you ask?

...

...You don't know how much homicidal rage I've built up over the years.

♥♥♀♥♥

I can remember the day when I decided to change my life for the better. It had been a warm spring day, when the sun had greeted me at the window....

Hey, Italics, are these useful "Pokémon" specific sue-traits for your story?

1. Multiple shinies
2. Starting out with a Legendary
3. Super powerful battler

Aww, I was hoping for a "deeper" Sue, like Farla's Lucki.

Guess that's just a pipe dream.

LET'S DO IT, THEN.

Also, since I didn't know people wanted to make a Pokemon Mary-Sue fic, I'll need to edit a few things.

So which legendary?

HAH, WE'LL DO SOMETHING BIGGER THAN THAT.

All three of us.

So this Sue will be God Mode and probably Black Hole?

Sure thing.

But if we want that, we need out with the stereotypical traits, such as the ones that Drakon was talking about.

Either that, or we deconstruct them and play the more subtle Sue traits more straightly. Your choice. XD

For that matter, we need a story behind it. Training fic?

Training fic with elements of other fic types randomly mixed in? With every single character, no matter how minor, being a Sue.

That's even harder than writing a story where none of the characters are Sues.

I like it.

Can I brainstorm?

If so, can this MarySue have a talking opossum friend? Random, I know. Plus, animals exist in the Pokemon World according to various media. And more importantly, can the opossum wear a top hat? A distinguished opossum would be cool.

Every single Sue should have a Shiny Eevee that they started with. Extra credit would go to Sues that also woke up late, went to the lab, met a legendary, and THEN got a Pikachu/Shiny Eevee combo. c: Lol.
