And don't worry...I'm flattered that you want to know more about the DTE!

As you can see in this mission, a Sue is not necessary at all for a fic to be eligible for a "visit" from the Department of Technical Errors. One thing, though: bad characterization alone wouldn't cut it; it would have to be that in conjunction with technical errors, since it's not a main focus of the DTE. The fic you linked me to was certainly not one of the best, but I'm not in the fandom, so I don't know how many logical flaws it has. Usually the DTE goes after fics where the bad writing jumps out and tries to strangle the readers. :)
