Comment on A guide to Mary Sues by Psyprass
Are my stories that bad? I know I can get a little carried away sometimes but I can never give an honest opinion of how my stories are.
I know that everyone who's read "For all the Dreamers" said it was pretty good but sometimes I feel like they're just being polite or something. Then again, maybe I'm just being too self critical like I always am.

No, the thought of 'Mary Sue' never actually crossed my mind, except (and this is unrelated) your self-insertion seems to have a bit of a matyr complex. 
But that's okay.
Also, whenever I read your fics I always get the impression that whenever Tsu unleashes his power he becomes indestructible because his abilities seem to be infinite. I know that's not the intention, but it may come across that way. However, you still don't write Mary-Suish, so don't worry.

I get what you're saying. You're talking about the X incident in chapter three right? Well, that power wasn't his own, as you might have guessed. There's going to be a big backstory on that but it's still in the developing stages.
As for the martyr complex, I have to admit that that's just the way I was back then. I was willing to sacrifice myself in the heat of battle or in a dangerous situation if it ment keeping my friends safe. I can't really tell if that's how I am now but I'm still trying to do the best I can on the story.
Oh, and I'll be making a journal entry sometime in the near future concerning both "For all the Dreamers" and where it's heading. I'll also mention some other things in that direction but I'll save it for the journal entry.
