. So, I feel bad for the writer of this. Here on Pottersues, we're not actually anti-Mary Sue, as all of us have written one when we first started, and we all can attest to this being a part of the learning process. Most OCs paried with canon characters are going to be Mary Sues, but not all. Sadly though some people label all OCs as bad, and all as Mary Sues.

Flashback Sue TITLE:
Protecting the Last Horcrux,
What She Doesn't Know, Will Actually Hurt HerPERPETRATOR:
Can't-ResistSUE-O-METER: Toxic
COVER/BANNER ART: The writer's avatar is these strange charm like things.
SUMMARY: ”Why didn't Voldemort die when Harry Potter destroyed 'all' the horcruxes? Time travel mishaps, or was the human nature beneath the demon who caused the non fatal error? The only child sired of The Source and a Charmed has exclusive details concerning this change in events. Vivian Turner and the Dark Lord understand this mystery, and will do everything to protect it.”, ”Over the last 10 years, Viv had never questioned her life before. Yes, it had balanced more on the darker side, but it was what originally attracted her. She was happy with her paramour, Darren, and her beautiful boy Adrian, or so she thought. Unusual things begin to pop up in her life making her question her reality. It was almost magical? Or all in her head? Sequel to PTLH”
FULL NAME: Vivian Turner, Adrian
SPECIES: The Sue is the daughter of Pheobe and Cole from charmed.
HAIR: n/a
EYES: Pools of darkness at one point
MARKINGS: n/a
POSSESSIONS: n/a
CONNECTION TO CANON: The story starts off with Phoebe and Cole arguing about killing their daughter - who shouldn't even exist, but only does because the Suethor thought it would be cool. The one most likely to want to kill the daughter though is not the one making the argument either. But no, the Source of All Evil means he's still evil and wanting his heir, and so he instead sends his daughter off into hiding. (The child that was supposed to be the Source of All Evil though was male, not female.) Chapter two sees a mention of the 2008 housing bubble bursting, so we know the time stamp for the story is horribly wrong as well. For those who don't know, 2002 is when Phoebe marries Cole, and yet here we have a six year old running around acting like an adult watching telivision and news like an adult. We also get “the closer he got to Vivian, closer he could get his hands on Potter and could finally destroy him.” Then the story proceeds into a major PWP with the Sue having angst, and her stuck having the child of Voldemort. I think it is time to stop reading. Oh, and the second story is of course about her and Voldemort's son. (Gag...)
ORIGIN: “My name is Danielle, I was on quizilla as F.u.c.k.I.t.A.l.l. so maybe some of this stuff seems familiar to somebody.” For those who don't know, there was no quality control on the quizilla site. There was no way to publicly review stories, likely due to the fact the site actually allowed people under the age of thirteen to sign up. That in turn added to the quality issues. “It is real, but it has been ignored because magic has been known to cause many innocent people grief and is not easily accepted, but feared. And the way non-magical people have dealt with magic is by making it all seem as a lie. Just random people's fantasies of something more. But because the world of people is so diverse, many people are entertained by other people's magical fantasies and these fantasies are often made into some kind of entertainment to make money. Like supernatural television series, mythical books that are made into many volume best sellers, and many special effected fantasy movies that hit number one in the box offices. All of these stories and shows are fake. They were just made up for money. […] Except Two: […] The Harry Potter Book Series […] The Television Series of Charmed […] These two magical series are based on actual truth. Except each series ended, but in real life they are still beginning to unfold. In real life Harry Potter doesn't defeat Voldemort, the Dark Lord survives because Harry didn't destroy all the horcruxes. There's still one horcrux left and only two people know about it, Voldemort and Vivian Turner. Do you wonder why her name doesn't sound familiar? It is because she was Phoebe and Cole's child that was never born on the Charmed series. But in real life Phoebe picked her love over her destiny and that night Piper and Paige lost their lives. From that night on, evil had the upper hand over good.”
SPECIAL ABILITIES: The story's got a major “I don't give a fuck about canon” going on. For those who don't know, the child of Phoebe and Cole that was never born was actually male, not female. There was also a very good reason the baby was never born. The Sue also knows things she shouldn't know.
NOTES: I started reading the sequel without realizing that was what it was, and saw the sentences “she gingerly stretched her limbs, trying to find a more comfortable position in the chair.” I don't think gingerly means what the Suethor things it does. I had to stop reading the story, as it's typically quizella quality.
SAMPLE:
Vivian Turner was born, January 3, 2003. Her parents found her to be a very gifted child, but worried deeply for her. The day that Vivian was born, her mother had exclaimed an unclear prophecy involving Voldemort and her. Their worry and fear escalated as Voldemort gained more and more power by every passing day.
*******"Cole, it's happening again." He dismissed his wife's statement. There was nothing wrong with his daughter. Her power was impressive and growing, he could see this from the flames his daughter was producing and playing with.
"There's nothing wrong, look at her. She's a marvel of strength."
"I'm seeing visions of the two of them again."
He turned to his wife, clearly irritated. "You have said this before, but have never been able to give any details to what is supposed to happen, or when it even happens other than when she nears adulthood." He scooped up their daughter and faced his wife once more. "Or if it is truly the reason why it affects our reign or how it gets affected at all. Your power is fading."
"Maybe if you would let me do more of what I want, I wouldn't be having problems." His eyes flashed black, ready to challenge his wife. How dare she be so ungrateful?
"Maybe if," He stressed the second word, clearly showing his anger, "you actually cared for your family more and concentrated harder about our needs versus your own maybe you could actually see whatever that your seeing and relay it in a viable message; instead of being an overly annoying nag about something you can't describe." His wife physically flinched; she had never had him speak so cruelly to her.
"I'm seriously trying Cole."
"Well Phoebe, maybe you should spend a little time with your daughter and it might come to you." He shoved their daughter into his wife's arms and disappeared from her sight. He was angry and so was she. *********
As hard as her mother tried, she was ever able to establish the exact causes and effects of this future meeting between Voldemort and Vivian, which caused a strain between her relationship with Vivian's father.
So they began to train her. Slowly through the years, she was becoming a calculating warrior and also a seductive woman. As she reached her eighteenth birthday, she was ready to prove herself, to her parents, to the world. Years of planning was finally to proceed, with Vivian leading the charge. They had to devise a plan that would give them an advantage over Voldemort, which many had deemed impossible. They had to be very cunning, and plan with precision; after all it would be difficult because Voldemort didn't die when Harry Potter had destroyed all the horcruxes.
They wanted Vivian to be the one to kill him once and for all, but he was way too powerful for her to take him on herself. They wanted her to be equal with Voldemort. Vivian was talented, but she needed odds that were better than what they had. So they determined to send Vivian undercover to Hogwarts, as a student in the 1940's. She would be attending there the same time, as Voldemort's earlier identity, Tom Riddle was. Nothing could possibly go wrong, or that was what they had thought.
*****He pushed the hair from my eyes. "I'll never understand why you choose to wear your hair like that. Not like anyone from around here would." I stared at him, daring him to say more. "Americans are quite…mysterious."
