Basic Facts About Mary-Sue
You are in love with Riku. You are warm for his form. Unfortunately, you cannot have him. He doesn't exist, after all. So you do the next best thing. You create a fan fic centering around your own original character (OC) and Riku.
Riku falls in love with this character immediately. His dark personality turns on your OC like a light bulb. The two share passionate moments as he gushes his feelings for her on Twilight Hill (three hours after meeting her, of course), telling her how much he loves her layered purple hair, silver eyes, milky white skin, and thin, curvy body.

On a side note, you may not respect me as a person for my opinions, but at least respect my right to express my opinions. That's why there's free speech. Additionally, if you don't like any of these plots then don't read them. There will be some sort of warning somewhere on published books, and warnings on stories on the internet.

Why would you write that?" I'll explain more in the second part.
