We've all seen examples of twu wuv, wangst, and trajeck pasts in Suefics, but are there real life examples for these new ones? I think it'll be a stronger list if there are, supposing that its purpose is to point out the inherent shallowness of Mary Sue characters/characterization. It doesn't work so well if it's mostly stuff we've made up in this thread; all that shows is that we can make stuff up.

Also, how do concepts that aren't actually emotions fit in, like sarcasm and tragic backstories? And, beware of going overboard with the bad spelling. For instance, if you were making fun of shallow revenge plots, would you actually pronounce it "revunge"? (Perhaps "rahvenge"?) What about "fwendsheep"? (Just "fwendship," maybe?) Just some things to think about.
