Mary Sues Mentioned on TVTropes by

For your consideration...

A long-running crossover series about a demi-god princess named Aara, her sisters, her descendants, and their harems full of hot anime characters.
There are a TON of fandoms (usually in appearance only) in this. But the main ones are Yu Yu Hakusho, Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin, Fushigi Yugi, and Trigun. There's a lot of unnecessary infodumps, a lot of dry sex scenes (and rape... and babies... Anyone who hooks up in this series immediately starts pumping out babies.), and, strangely enough, some noticeable Mormon undertones.
I doubt anyone here would want to tackle this though, since it's just SO DAMN LONG. I've seen mentions of how bad it is. But I don't think any sporker has ever actually finished the whole thing.

This one was mentioned on the Purity Sue page. The blurb for it describes the main character, Sakura Tenshi, as "A "Wish/Chobits flavored" Gratuitous Japanese speaking amnesiac "alluring little kitten goddess yet innocent" angel tenshi-chi with love powers strong enough to destroy Heaven, Hell, and everything in between... in Cowboy Bebop."
From what I've read, the setting and characters of Cowboy Bebop have changed to match the sugary... shoujoness of the main sue and the motley crew of freeloaders (including a dark-sided version of herself) she brings to The Bebop. It also has the most annoying Fangirl Japanese that I have ever seen. The Gratuitous Japanese page mentions such gems like:
-"Naze are we teishing?"
-He looked yuki white with dark ruby and kuro eyes.
-Hentai thoughts ran through Jet’s head.
This is another long one. The first story is 88 chapters long. The author has a web page for the series. But I can't make heads or tails of anything on it due to the shitty site design.

The blurb for this on the God Mode Sue page reads:
"Meet Valis. A female Saiyan survivor. Destined wife of Piccolo. Destined mate of Vegeta. Embodiment of an ancient warrior prophecy, with Inner Senshi-style "warrior women" assistants. More powerful than Goku. Bigger clothes-horse than Cher. Destined Universal Queen."
She's also Goku's long lost sister and, like the blurb says, has a shitload of clothing and hair/eye color changes. (Why? From going Super Saiyan, of course.)
What do you think, sirs? -
Mormon undertones, you say? by

Grrr. *slitty eyes* Keep your messed-up hands off my religion, bub. If I were writing missions... I would tackle that one, ten billion chapters and all. Religious fury aside, wouldn't it be great fun to have an excuse to bluescreen somebody's universe? It's not like it's a canon universe, nobody cares if you nuke it, right? :D :D :D
OTOH, I'm only really familiar with one of those series, and that's Rurouni Kenshin. But then, lack of familiarity with a series never stopped me from reading fanfic before... ;) -

Also, all of the main universes have massive infodumps that go on about their storylines in the first "book", if I remember correctly. And a lot of the canon characters used are just the character in physical description only. A lot of them have had their names and personalities completely changed.

By Mormon undertones, I pretty much mean just the whole polygamy thing and the fact that the Otherworld "tradition" of naming children is to combine the parents' names.
When I saw the kid naming thing, it instantly reminded me of "Twilight". :<br> -

Anything that reminds one of that travesty of a "romance" series SHOULD be nuked. Just to save us all having post-traumatic flashbacks. -_-;
FWIW, neither polygamy nor combining parents' names is really a Mormon thing. Possibly you're thinking of some of the spinoff churches? -
That was me talking, btw. Can I claim too lazy to log in? XD (nm by

So is this just a name smush then? Mine's kind of lame, since both parents' names end in ny. But if we take full names rather than shortened forms... Anthonelope has a nice ring to it. Better than Penthony, certainly.

... put VQ under Notable Fanfics - after all, "Notable" applies to GOOD fanfics as well, and it's only fair.

There's no such thing as notability on TVTropes. "Notable" can mean good, bad, mediocre, "this page is here because I wanted to make a page for my fanfic/website/fangame or pimp it"...
