Mary Sues

I've been reading a ton of sporks lately. The best park are the trolls, because of the way the commentators act about them. The main reason I decided to write about sues here is that I found one that I wrote near the beginning of the year(luckily it was in a notebook in an original world, but still a Mary sue *shudders*). I never wrote much about the characters, but most of them didn't have much personality. Still I had a few funny-ish lines such as:

"We need maps!" announced A, which led B to exclaim "To the Library!"
"Uh, do you two geniuses know where the Library is?" asked C.
"No idea." replied B cheerfully.

"It's in the job description, sunshine" said C to D

"The future is not fixed, but those two bickering is set in stone" said C

"Did he kill nice sweet dragons to build his throne?" asked A.
"He did" replied M.
"Then he will die!" exclaimed A.
"Of course he will," said B exasperatedly, " as he's the villain."

These are probably the best lines of the whole short thing that I never completed. I think my writing has gotten much better in that short time. At least now I'm trying to make flawed characters and am getting better at plot exposition instead of doing Deus ex Machina.
