agilebrit1. Use fanfiction.net's Search >> Story By Summary and look up your name (or nickname) in either Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings (or a popular fandom of your choice).
2. If there are any Mary Sues that share your name, pick the worst-sounding one and post the summary.
Oh, darn, I have to pick just one? I'd rather pick several, really, and snark at them. Because, fic-wise? I got nothin'.
Here's one from Pirates of the Caribbean:
We ran out of room, its called: The Adventures of Jocelyn, Julie Anna, Will, and..... Jack the two guys get transported to 2004 Cow Country, NE (a town we hope we made up, HOPE)
What's scary about this one is that my middle name is Anna, and one of my friends in college was named Joylyn, which is very close to the other character's name in this...thing. And yes, it's just as terrible as it sounds. Crappy script format, in-text author's notes, random "humor," and blatant self-inserts. Ugh. The review is funny though.
Then there's this from Harry Potter:
*Authors Notes Please read* Julie is Harry's sister, but no one knows, well except her that is. This IS NOT MARY SUE just incase you're wondering. Chp 10 is up! Harry in a bad mood, and past memories for Julie.
Suuuuure, she's not a Mary Sue. I believe you. Really. How does something like this garner a hundred and ninety reviews???
And we have this from Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
A BTVS Collab Fic. Julie, Dawn's best friend meets Spike and falls for him. What happens when she falls for the new guy at school? Will her feelings for Spike get in the way? Will she fall for the new guy? Read & Find Out. RR Plz! *Complete*
Gee, this Julie person sounds like a fickle little bint, doesn't she?
Makes me very glad I don't have a name like "Arianna."
