SCARPA:
My name is Thomas Barczak, I am an Architect by profession. Huge fan of Jim Butcher's work. I just finished up a draft of my novel, Veil of the Dragon. Been working on it for 6-7 years. Taking a month or so off to research, and regroup before I go back for a final edit, then solicitation of Publishers. So far, ive gotten good response from those who know about writing along with some pretty good input on how I can make it better. I enjoy what you have with this forum. Pretty excited in general to have gotten as far as I have. Thanks.

To answer your question, miss witch -
Wikipedia article on Mary Sue
A much more in-depth look at Mary Sues. <-- warning, this is a TVtropes link, warning, warning.
And here's the test meg_evonne was talking about earlier - The Mary Sue Litmus Test. Take this test to find out if your character falls into the realm of Mary Sue. If she does, then you may have a bit of a problem.
also- MS would stand for Mary Sue, while MC stands for Main Character. Hopefully, these two things are not the same. XD
Miss Witch:
Thanks so much Jeno! I appreciate it. While I've been writing for a while it's my first time writing something that might actually lead to something else in the future. In other words taking my writing some what more seriously than before. I shall look up the links:D Cheers
jeno:
I wish you luck!

Dear lord i need to become more frequent on this site. i'm gone for a month and BOOM! 10 more posts. I dont have much to say, except for i'm filling up my folders with ideas for future books, but school takes up so much time that all i can do is fantasize on my breaks. i may have something more fruitful to say in the future, but, Miss Witch, your idea sounds amazing and i LOVE to write about magic, sorcery, and all that cool stuff. throw a question out and i'll reply. hopefully with something useful.
Adios.
