Hello all ye hopefuls of the LONG, LONG, LONG drawn out Fan Fiction contest. To be truthful, our original judges are busy people and some had to pass on the judging to others. We have the results from our first judge!!!!!!!!! There are a couple of more judges that are currently reading and those results will soon follow. The stories are rated on a scale of 1 to 5. I gave each Fan Fiction a letter name for the sake of the judges. Once the other judges give their results, we will tally all the results of each of the 6 entrants to determine the winner. Good Luck! Btw, the judges didn't know who wrote them when they judged them, except for Tiana who happened to be "HOVERING OVER MY SHOULDER AND READING MY EMAILS" ((Tiana: ANDDDDD didn't expect to end up judging anyway, considering I ENTERED... ^_^ Wait. I'm not judging. SIMON is. ^_^ )) The stories can be viewed by clicking the links with the titles attached. Judging by Jandalf... *insert drum roll here*Fan Fiction A by Padme Evenstar.Unexpectedly UnsuspectedRating: 4 'Twas a fairly amusing play on the Mary-Sue concept. Fan Fiction B by JackNeoA Hobbit's HorseRating: 3.75 This fanfic didn't follow the criteria, though it was quite well done for the author's first. Fan Fiction C by WariousGalactically ChallengedRating: 3.25 Some silly fun. An interesting idea, but not very well written out. Fan Fiction D by Hobbit_Eyes (I had to split this into 3 different posts because of the size!) Angel's Wings Part 1Angel's Wings Part 2Angel's Wings Part 3Rating 4.5 If this hadn't been an obvious Mary-Sue bash, I would have gotten sick. All the stereotypes were played up in a horrible fashion. Very well done! However, it appears as though the author didn't remember the restrictions for one word in particular, and the mention of gay hobbits wasn't welcome. Also, it did have a mention of That weird kid with the glasses... what's his name? Peeves: Potty Wee Rotter.. I'm not sure how far me dear Padawan's going to go in enforcing her "no mention" rule. If it weren't for the slightly crude mentionings as well as That weird kid with the glasses... what's his name? Peeves: Potty Wee Rotter., this one would definitely have my vote. Fan Fiction E by Tiana CalthyeWinning Mirsella's HeartRating 4.5. I knows who writed it. Heeheehee. It was the humour. It got me. Fan Fiction F by Padawan Skye OnasiThe Plot GuardianRating 3.5. Nice playing with the idea of keeping the plot canon despite the various situations/ships the characters want to get themselves into. Narrative could have been a little more substantial with the style, but it was amusing... The rest of the results "should" come soonish! *Nudges judges*

The Simon judging is in jest. MY judging is in double brackets. Heh. Yes, I judged myself... ^^
Entry A:
Augh! Utterly horrible! I would rather suffer through a continual repeat of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for eternity than suffer through reading this fiction again. Do you have any other dreams, beyond writing fanfiction? I rate it 1.4. There was no plot, no romance, the charagers were lame, and the only reason it doesn't merit a minus is because it was tolerably grammarical!
((and in seriousness... 4.0. It was long, semi thought out... but it didn't get into Mary-Sueness very fast, her character was too believable for an immediate Sue (though the ending accident murder of the two evils DID sort of hike her Sueness). I'd suggest you learn to use pronouns a bit more, rather than names every single shot. ;-) But I've told you that before... I've beta read for you if I've read your fictional style right. Snrk.
You lose points for not having a very Mary-Sue Sue. Sure, she fell in love with a canon, but...
It was more of a self incertation, and a mild Sue than a horribly painful DEATH INDUCING SUE!!!!!))
Entry B:
1.0, only because you used canonical characters and kept them passibly in character. You are not worthy to write fanfiction!
((and, in seriousness, 3.8. You seem a bit uncertain with using commas when addressing someone, and your story didn't follow the criteria. Perhaps my judging is a bit less than it could be because I didn't READ the story, I put it in the windows narrator and had Microsoft Sam read it outloud... but...
It's really good for your first fanfiction, but it wasn't a Mary-Sue. Had I been judging it for an insert a scene that didn't appear in the movie, you'd've gotten probably 4.3/5. Your spelling was pretty good, and I'd've liked to see stronger use of commas...
You get the lower rating due to no crossover mention, as well.))
Entry C:
Augh! Horrible! No grammar, no believability, nothing was in character!! No. Go away and do something else. -2.
((Seriously?
THAT is a Mary-Sue. Not written in parody, not written in jest... it was an utterly serious Mary-Sue fiction, though I was laughing. You wrote it as if that was exactly what you intended to write, rather than very obviously making fun of the idea as I did.
Your use of grammar was horrible in locations, it carried on horribly... 3.75. You get the reasonably high rating because the way you wrote it, it felt like a Mary Sue.
You lost a half point because the love interest was Admiral Thrawn, and who'd want to date HIM?! Snrk. You also lost some because she didn't have some insane parentage, like Tinuviel and Agent Smith. But, all in all, it was a definate Mary-Sue, and answers the description of a crossover Mary Sue, not written in parody perfectly. The rest of the points were lost from a few little errorish things... etc.))
Entry D:
I've just started it and I don't think I can go on. ARGH!!! MEDICAL!!! SECURITY!!!!
(dies)
((I cannot review this as Simon. You killed him. XD
Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
You're near KILLING ME!!!!!!! ARGH!! AHHH!!!!!!!!!!! (clutches head) That is the most DISPICABLE Mary Sue I have EVER read. You didn't hike the stereotypes, you... gah!!!!! 4.3/5. If this contest wasn't a Mary Sue contest, I would petition to have this story burnt at the stake. You so IGNOMINOUSLY killed characters, you DESTROYED Aragorn and Galadriel's characters...
I have to admit it, Legolas was in character, bar the whole "let's fall in love" stuff. It struck me as him.
I don't know how you managed to write this in about a day's thing for entry...
GAH!!!!!
(dies again) I can't take it. It's so bad. So... so...
Needless to say, you followed the rules on Mary-Sue crossover very well. The story was incredibly well written. You lose the half point for the mention of gay hobbits, and .1 points for the mention of That weird kid with the glasses... what's his name? Peeves: Potty Wee Rotter., which really wasn't that bad at all so I'll let it go, and .1 for a sentence in which you said her father gave the ring to her father. I'm not knocking points for language, even though I probably had a rule against that... because I've used similar myself.))
Entry E:
Do you honestly think that was permissable as a fiction? Horrible! Horrible! That was the most INSIPD piece of work I have EVER read, lacking any purpose whatsoever. -5
((Seriously?
How the HECK am I suppose to judge my own fanfic? I don't like how I balanced the beginning, it was unexplained as to why half the stuff happened, and SO runon...it was scary.
And I didn't get much crossover mention in until the end.
And I ended it so HORRIBLY ignominously.
I'll give myself a 4/5 because that's I think the standard rating for a semi-decent fic. Heh. And I'm too lazy to self-critique. I'll get someone else to read and give me a rating for my final.))
Entry F:
Insipid! Horrible! Unbelievable characters! You have no right to be writing fanfictions, not with your HORRIBLE manners. -1.
((Seriously? 3.7/5. Your grammar was edgy, not hilariously sueish, but seemed to be honest mistakes. And it would've been nice if it were double spaced, because that's easier to read online.
Your plot was VERY unique. A nice idea. But you didn't really establish the Sue, it was more of a "let's kill Sues". Your characters amused me, and Anakin was relatively IC too.
This story gets a slightly lower rating simply because I would've liked to see a lot more on it, because it leaves a lot of things hanging. It was facinating.))

What 'up ya'll? I'm obviously an alias, but let's see if you can guess me, without lookin' at my ip adresss yo.
Entry A
Interesting, dude, a little normal, not as sue-ish as I thought it'd be, but stil nice. Way to make the characters act really out of their styles! All in all, I'd give it a 4.25.
Entry B
Well, I thought this was a mary-sue story contest, but on it's own it's ok, man, especially for a first-timer, so I gotta give you props, and a 3.5.
Entry C
Dude, this was great! I've never read a mary-sue with Admiral Thrawn in it, you made this totally your own. A 4.5.
Entry D
Dude, I have never read anything so nauseatingly good. I know, it's weird. Except for a few spelling errors, this was red hot! Woot woot! 4.75.
Entry E
Very unique way of writing a fan fic, and everything about it was unique. Dawg! Right on! 4.75
Entry F
Not so sue-ish, but it was interesting. Unique plot line, wish I could've seen more of the mary-sue, but you did ai'ght, man. 4

What are you trying to do, keep their feelings from being hurt? Those were the most horribly non-passable attempts to enter a fanfiction contest I have ever heard! Read.
And, in seriousness, I didn't expect anyone else would pop up and randomly judge as an American Idol judge. I did this in jest to add some amusement to everything... but, hey, an extra judge's opinion does add to the flare!

*shoots Simon* HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAH!! That was fun... heehehee... Yeah, anyways (<-- I love that word) here's my judging... finally... copy/paste Mary Sue Fanfic JudgingBy Her Excellency, Adrienne Gollumeyes Random things I’m checking for originality, plottiness, amusement, and of course horrible Mary Sue-ness. … Yeah, something like that. Anyways, here we go… (* gets an urge to do an evil Simon-judging * … Nah, but it would be fun…) Unexpectedly UnsuspectedRating: 3.6 Comments: * insert ending theme music * Dun dun Duh DUN… Will we ever know…? Oh, yes, very Mary Sue: fails in love with main character, destroys plot continuum… “I should have told you from the moment I met you: I love you.” Heh, it’s weird imagining Obi-Wan saying that… A Hobbit’s HorseRating: 3.0 Comments: Aww, makes me want to give Pippin a big hug. * glomp * This is technically not a Mary Sue, but oh well (maybe Merry Sue… heh…). Anyways, it was short, but very good for your first one. Keep writing! Galactically ChallengedRating: 4.5 Comments: Amusing! He wasn’t the typical peoples the Mary Sue was attracted to… He was Thrawn! * cheer * (Ever since I saw a picture of a Chiss I thought they were sw33t! Blue skin and red eyes! YAY!) Though you were lacking a bit in the spelling and grammar department, I suppose that’s how Mary Sues are supposed to be! It amused me: picturing Jack standing in the bridge, commanding a Star Destroyer… eek. Angel’s WingsRating: 4.2 Comments: It was nice to have a long one in here. I like your descriptions, especially of Angel. Made some cool pictures in my imagination. But that gay comment lowered your rating. Slash is unnecessary. Anyways, yes, exceedingly Mary Sue: Angel’s purposefully invincible, well-knowledged, stubborn nature… But it was very well written and constructed. Legolas was well depicted -- yay chivalrous. And then there’s… BOBA FETT THE SITH!!! * hides * Mwa ha ha ha ha! Winning Mirsella’s HeartRating: 3.5 Comments: Um… this one bothered me… * disturbed * Especially Boromir. Eek. I’d rather pour a pound of salt on an open wound then read through that again. * grin * I liked Bill the pony though! * imagines Death Star hovering ominously above M-e * Zippy-zappy… BOOM! There goes Endorenna… The Plot GuardianRating: 3.8 Comments: Mwa ha ha ha ha! I shall be your doom! Ehem. * calms down * * amused * Very interesting… I liked it. DESTROY MARY SUES!!! Flechette gun: TDTDTDTTDTDTDTTDTD! Heh. * calms down again * Freaky Matrixy. Cool. There you have it. Judge Adrienne has finally finished. (Wow…) I must say I GREATLY DISLIKE MARY SUES! Well, romantic ones anyways… Gollum: Then why on earth did judge them? Well, it was fun! It gives me a feeling of powah! Forgive me a cruel chuckle… heheh… Gollum: Uh huh… Are you quoting something again? Power power power! * cackles * Gollum: Eek. Anyways, thanks to all the participants for their entries (and their patience). YAY!

END RESULT: FIRST PLACE: Hobbit-eyes, with 17.75 points SECOND PLACE: Tiana (er, me :X ), with 16.75 points THIRD PLACE: Darth Warious, with 16 points Honorable mention: Forca Kenobi, with 15.85 points, a very close runner up to Warious Skye Organa, with 15 points JackNeo with 14.05 points Though I'm trying to figure out if it's really fair for me to get second place when I had to judge myself... snrk... by common vote, should Warious get silver instead? Myself giving myself 4 was a pretty well average by the other voteses... heh... and I couldn't figure out how to make the mathematical process work with the calculator, so I had to do it in my head... it's 4ish. And someone should give Adrienne an award for being nearly as mean as Simon with her judging! Snrk. She was a HARD judge. Anyway, there's the snazzy award ribbons, you may have them stuck in your personal title if you want... and if everyone wants, I'll make a participants icon that says "I survived". Thank CR for the icons.
