  1. Use fanfiction.net's Search >> Story By Summary and look up your name in either Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.
  2. If there are any Mary Sues that share your name, pick the worst-sounding one and post the summary.

I think for me that'd be (though I went only by summary, taking a guess at whether it might be a Mary Sue):

I, unwisely, actually read some of the story.

And? Is it bad? (Or perhaps more to the point, is it a Mary Sue?)

GACK. That's just awful. Mary Sue coming out the wazoo. :P

It is bad. The grammar and spelling aren't terrible, at least, but it's overflowing with author's notes... And the Mary-Sue-with-my-name gets into a pillow fight with Legolas. *cries*
