It began with the post of a short review of the movie "Twilight" submitted to the social news website Reddit.com. Like Digg.com, Reddit.com lets you post articles and websites, users can raise or lower the post's score and when it gets a high enough score or is looked at by enough people it moves to the front page. People can leave comments and the comments can be scored positively or negatively just like Digg.com. Well, someone commented with a link to the first wiki article and inside that article I found the second.
They are very good wiki articles about Mary Sue and Marty Stu Characters in fiction and their exemptions. This I think should be a require resource for every fan fiction writer on TFF. It could be used as a guide to avoid creating such characters or at least make such characters more believable like the ones listed in the Exemptions article.

Mary Sue and Marty Stu Exemptions (Not Wikipedia either)
