I write to fanfiction.net, and sometimes I write to people who review my stories well to thank them, and some of them turn out to be quality writers themselves, but some, well... I usually don't comment on their stories, they are young, they will learn; I did. My stories have evolved from a half-Mary-Sue to tragedy and dark humour. I've learned the characteristics of a Mary-Sue in order to avoid those stories without wasting too much time trying to decide if a particular story is one.
