Post three of Rants on Mary Sue

I have complained about Mary, and I sure as hell have bashes her, so now, I'm gonna write an objective article. Wait... did I just say "objective"? Impossible! This thing is a rant machine, fer Gosh's sakes!

En tout cas... I am here to make my own analysis of Mary. It's nowhere near true, and it's only there to entertain myself.

Why (LoTR) Mary Sue?

Why? It's quite simple! Like I said, hormonal-ego-centric-Orlando-Bloom-obsessed-blah-blahs of the usual kind... But this is a little more informative.

Why?

1. To shag a Rugged Ranger, Ethereal Elf, or Handsome Hobbit.
2. Who doesn't want to be perfect? And guess which piece of classic, popularized piece of literature has perfect beings as main quasi-main characters? Lord of the Rings and their elves!
3. What person doesn't want to be a hero, hmm?
4. Due to a lack of female love interests, there are no female competition for several "hot" male characters, and a lot of space to fill.
5. Due to the cultural diversity, and fantastical universe of M-E, there is a stronger need to be different, and to stand out from the canon charcters. Therefore, you can find all sorts of half-breed, fantastical OCs that might seem pretty close to impossible. (Elf/hobbit, faeries...)
6. Even is the OC and story is an extremely good one, it is still, in a degree, a self-insert.
7. Love. Sometimes, it's not about the characters; it's about falling in love in general. It's like an imaginary boyfriend.
8. I am sure there's more, but my brain's currently fried, and can no longer think up of any other explanations.

Downsides:

1. The authors, being teenagers who probably don't even like reading, sometimes use internet abbreviations and modern dialect to write. (Hell, this was this time I was looking at a fic that seemed pretty interesting, and then all of a sudden, I see "OMG!". O.0 For God's sakes, at least put "Oh, my god!") Sometimes, it could actually go the opposite way, and they would go overboard with the medieval dialect: "Thou shalt not toucheth me!" (Belive me, I've seen it.) They probably haven't read the source material (I don't blame them at all, even some adults find the material unwieldy), therefore have never done any research on the subject, so often use things they sometimes think up. They should at least learn to find their boundariees. If they only know about LoTR from the movies, they should write with the material given to them from the movies!
2. The LoTR universe is, in a way, pretty tightly-knit. Tolkien has written the timeline, genesis legend, even the lineage and family trees of many of the characters. Therefore, it's really hard to write an legitimate relative of Frodo, or whoever... You might be able to fool the causal ones, but the Ringers will be after your neck.
3. Since the source material is really unwieldy, the language is extremely hard ot grasp. Even in the Lord of the Rings books, you only get a few rudimentary sindarin, Quenya and a little of Rohirric, and they're hard to use. Therefore, you can find pretend Elvish or other tongues in fanfics that look as though the author just decided to press whatever key their finger lands on!
4. There are often OOC's or Out Of Character-ness or inaccuracies in description or otherwise.

There's more, but my internet time is coming to an end. But I back, alright, and I will have more notes! MUAHAHAHA!
