I voted yes. *abashed*

She was Legolas's magic-wielding adopted sister (half-Maia by birth), who just happened to be engaged to Elrohir and apprenticed to Saruman, before he went all ebol. Eventually, after Helm's Deep, she hooked up with our heroes, so I suppose she counts as a 10th walker as well. Er, it's no longer posted publicly anywhere. *shudders*

Hello This is me raising my hand.

I wrote a Mary Sue Legomance that turned into a Haldiromance that got scrapped before it got further than about two or three chapters.

She was a human found outside Lorien by Haldir. Her mother was killed, by elves she supposed, and she hated elves until our hero comes into her life.

Hello

I have the MEGA Sue story on my hard drive and a couple that are posted that are borderline - depends on who you ask. And of course they are all Lego-mances except the one Eomer-mance.

The MEGA Sue was Aragorn's red haired, green eyed, busty half sister - half elven of course - that he did not know about who not only fell in love with Legolas but Eomer had a crushing along with all other men were looking. Plus her and Eowyn then later her and Arwen were the bestest of friends. She rode in the battle at Pelennor Fields and the Black Gates. And it gets worse....she had 3 of the dwarven rings of power that had been given from a dwarf to an elf, to her mother, to her to return to Saruman but luckily she was 'saved' by Eomer and Theodred before she got a chance. OH! And she had a psychic link to Sauron.

Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

Beat that Viv!

I said no, but that is partly because I have only written with a very limited scope, and partly because I probably would write a Sue that has so much angst, most Suethors would be running for the hills. Outta here

Oooh yeah. A beautiful, vulnerable young woman with hair striped lime green and electric blue. I kid you not. And this was before hair colours not found in nature became a fad. She was always in need of rescuing and some strong, good looking and intelligent hero was always there to oblige.

And then there was the half-elf, half-maia who was Gandalf's love chlid (that he did not know of) whose mother had been taken from the woods near Cuivienien and turned into an orc but not before she had hidden her daughter in a tree but the poor little thing was so traumatized that it was literally ages before she spoke again...well, you get the picture. Tragic, angsty past.

Fortunately, this was all long before the internet and even before personal computers. Apart from this confession, there's no evidence.

Really? Wow. You were more imaginative than me. What did she do? Reform poor, misunderstood Sauron?

The curious thing is I can remember my half-maia's background, but I can't remember anything that she did. Maybe that's just as well...

*There's a deep, crimson flush on my computer screen. I wonder if it's the monitor acting up or just a reflection*

(I could have sworn I answered this earlier ... Evil or Very Mad )

I said no, but my first fic posted here ("Gaming", check it out Pimp ) does have the smart, funny, clever irresistable-to-the main-stud female character, as did my first evah fic (Earth 2, if you can believe it - say what you will about that series and I will say "Clancy Brown."). But neither of those OFCs had a pet dragon/unicorn/what-have-you, violet eyes, or secret destiny to save the world once she recovered from childhood trauma-induced amnesia and rejoined her mother's people ... Rolling Eyes

Mine doesn't either but I still managed to make her Suer than Sue.

My first fic came close, though I researched enough that I manage to squeak under the wire with an AU warning, I think. That said, it's not posted, and with good reason. Very Happy

Said yes. I'm actually guilty of two, although my first one was written when I was about 14 (blushes and hides) and before the films came out, I was a teen girl but unlike the film-obsessives I had a thing for Aragorn that went on for many unending years.

Then the films hit and I had my phase of elf fever. Wrote it about the time of the first film before most fan girls knew about the existence of Elladan and Elrohir. She was half-elven (of course) and a love interest for Elladam after about three chapters. Her mother had died because of an abusive relationship in Bree (of course the only town that exists in Middle Earth apart from Edoras and Miras Tirirth, maybe Osgiliath if you're lucky). So she decided to wander randomly in Middle Earth for a while and just happened to be picked up by Elladan. It didn't get further than the 8th chapter thankfully, but she was called Lithueva ?? Where do people get these names?

My MS was named Bethil. And I had one named Aidan who I ended up using in the VV but the original name was used in a M-E fic. Very modern sounding eh? lol

That's not so bad. My pen name is the same as the OFC in some of my stories. I'm just really, really bad with names.

My first Sue was named Veleth, but in my defense it was actually supposed to be a plot point. Embarassed
