Fanfiction: the definition of Mary-Sue

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

And also, why the injunction against half-elven? There were several of them.

Pio, I think, said something to this effect: Tolkien needed them for the story. If your only purpose of making your character Half-Elven is to make her stand out, or give her abilities from both races, then kick your her all the way to the Encircling Seas. And beyond.

Surefire cures for Merisus(or is it Mary-Sues?): Wake them up. Or unplug them from the Matrix. They live in a perfect world - could it be a dream? Or a prison for their minds?
