''FanFic/TheAwkwardAdventuresOfMeghanWhimblesby''

* CanonDefilement: The story supposes that English and Westron are the same language. They are not. [=FebSong=] never mentions any TranslatorMicrobes, but does make a HandWave in chapter 1, when Meghan learns that the language is now Westron and not English.

* MarySue:
** Meghan. She enters Middle-earth in the most Sueish way: she is now an elf, wearing a nice dress, the most comfortable boots, and RapunzelHair (but she will cut the hair). She lands next to the main characters. After her entrance, Meghan has almost none of the CommonMarySueTraits. Meghan has two Sue traits: she can use English in Middle-earth, and the other characters like her too much.
** The company should leave her in Lothlórien, and continue without her. [=FebSong=] gets credit for writing the scene in chapter 13 where Aragorn proposes exactly this. Only three characters want to leave Meghan in Lothlórien, but four characters want to take Meghan with them. These four like Meghan so much, it supersedes the logic that Meghan should stay in Lothlórien with her friend Lalaith. Therefore, the company takes Meghan with them because she is a Sue.
** Lalaith. In a note on chapter 13, [=FebSong=] decides Lalaith as "my Mary-Sue nod". Her backstory (in chapter 9) seems appropriate for a Sue: she lost her family and nearly suffered DeathByDespair, but her friend Haldir rescued her with ThePowerOfLove, then married her. Despite this, Lalaith is perhaps not a Sue. Her story is plausible for the setting: elves do die in battle, they can die of grief, and Haldir might have a wife. The briefness of her story is appropriate for a side character. The fast friendship between Lalaith and Meghan, and all consequences thereof, might happen because of Meghan's Sue traits rather than Lalaith's.
* RelationshipSue: Meghan might be this to Legolas. In chapter 41, someone explains, "You must understand that our family genuinely doubted that [Legolas] would ever find a spouse." Yet Meghan is perfect as a future spouse for Legolas.

Don\'t say \"downplayed\" here. I know so many exaggerated Sues, I am not sure which are downplayed. Also, it would be weird if all the tropers wrote \"downplayed\" on all the Sue examples.
