Anti-Cliché and Mary-Sue Elimination Society: Difference between revisions

* [[A God Am I]]: Most of the Mary-Sues and Gary-Stus have fanatical belief in their own superiorty when compared to the rest of the Multiverse's residents. Willowe, however, wants to take this a step further and make it fact.

* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: @, who is -error- -error- describe @ here - ' is very beautiful yes very beautiful indeed very perfect oh so perfect ha ha ha {{color|gray| ♥}}.

* [[All There in the Manual]]: The [http://acmses.wikia.com/wiki/ACMSES_Wiki ACMSES Wiki].

* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]: The Sues' takeover of the Library in "Insert Red Skies Twilight Here".

* [[Character Blog]]: [http://acmses.wordpress.com/ Here]. Among other things, it includes a running gag with a postcard, a plotline about Emily attending a school, and some interesting depths with characters - notably Aster is made a bit of a [[Jerkass]] (explaining why she's annoying) and Rhia is made more of a rational character.

* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: Emily is temporarily turned into a cat after she accidentally turned everybody in the Library except for herself and Adrian into cats.

* [[Creator Breakdown]]: Happens a lot - reactions vary from [[Rage Quit]] to simply fading away from the scene to keeping links to the community but becoming unable to write more stories. Whether the character stays in the hands of the Society or is withdrawn has depended on the situation. Reasons for leaving have ranged from fights with other members to [[Real Life Writes the Plot|real life issues]] to simple emotional breakdown/disconnect over the feelings involved in writing things for the Society.

* [[Creepy Twins]]: Ashley and Aspen Foxblade are thoroughly ''psychotic'' - it's implied they were murderous even before they turned Sueish.

** Averted in the case of Richard and Robert, another set of Stu twins. They may be identical, but while the latter is rather a nice guy, the former is a sadistic bastard.

* [[Crossover]]: An actual gadget used by Agents from time to time. It can temporarily fuse two fandoms together, but it's not used that often.

* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Quite literally, there is a gadget titled the "Deus Ex Machina". However, it doesn't really help the Agents - it just screws things up. It apparently caused the live-action movie Dragonball Evolution to exist, deleted the whole first dub season of Yu-Gi-Oh!, and turned one of the best anime of all time into Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.

* [[Diabolus Ex Machina]]: Flora gaining shapeshifting, immunity to Prohibitors, and the ability to drain Suishness.

** Later on, another Agent claims baby Cthulhu as a pet. [[Fluffy the Terrible|He names it Lil' C.]]

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Tyler [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|interrupts the narrator]]. Narrator triggers a trap.

** Also how Robert was initially captured.

* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: In its first few installments, the Society was even ''more'' tongue-in-cheek than it is today.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Palm Tree/Emily Foxblade, Bella Aubrey/Lily Adamson...there's been a few.

** {{spoiler|Arguably Willowe post-death.}}

* [[Humongous Mecha]]: Adrian's Phoenix Zord.

* [[I Am Not Left-Handed]]: One Sue uses a sword in her left hand, then reveals this when she gets serious, but with a twist. {{spoiler|[[Dual-Wielding|She's ambidextrous.]]}}

* [[Mary Sue]]: Many, in all shapes, sizes, colours and threat levels. They are, after all, what the Society were formed for.

** In all honesty most of them are [[Parody Sue|Parody Sues]]; some of the Society Authors work some of their [[Old Shame|actual past failures]] to serve as guinea pigs.

* [[Mauve Shirt]]: Invoked and played with in an unnamed character during {{spoiler|Aster's rescue}} who is literally referred to as "the mauve-shirt man". For all that he only exists for a single scene before being messily killed, he exhibits a very memorable personality and did play an important (albeit offscreen) role in the proceedings.

* [[Mayfly-December Romance]]: Adrian and Tash are afraid of this since Adrian's immortal and Tash is not. So far they haven't come up with a good way to give Tash immortality in a way that won't require too much sacrifice. {{spoiler|They're still trying.}}

* [[Serious Business]]: The Society started out as a group designed to take out Sues. Somewhere along the line it decided to develop its own plot. Now, Sues are ''tools'' of [[Big Bad]]-type enemies who want to bring their own sense of insanity to writing universes. It still has so many writing references, Fourth Wall fractures, and references to fandoms/FanFiction terminology that it can still be classified as fanfiction, however.

* [[Shapeshifter Baggage]]: Subverted in the case of the Anthropomorphiser.

* [[Shout-Out]]: '''YOU''' count them. Leave me out of it.

* [[Special Attack]] - Adrian's Librarian Arts, Tash's Juari-Ken, Ben's Crack powers, and Michael's Darkness abilities. Aster sort of kinda has this, but she doesn't exactly use them the way a special attack should be used.
