AU: Alternate Universe. If 당신 put the characters you're a 팬 of in a different universe.
For example: make 앤젤 and Spike human and go to high school with Buffy, who is not the Slayer.
Or: Make the characters from Gossip Girl vampires.

OC: Original Characters. 글쓰기 a new character to introduce in an existing universe.
For example: write a new student into the Harry Potter universe.

Mary Sue: Mostly Mary Sue's are OC's that are perfect. In my Harry Potter example, the new student, Mary Sue, would be good at every class and quidditch, everyone would like her (from all houses), every boy will fall in 사랑 with her... and ofcourse she will defeat Voldemort while looking like an angel.
There are different kind of Sues, but 당신 can recognize them easily: 읽기 a story with a Mary Sue is f*cking boring.

well i had one of my RPG charictors called a mary sue once...then a slight fight started...-_-" i guess it means making a charictor seem perfect then trying to push it on everyone else...i thought i was reasonable to think the a charictor raised 의해 동물 could calm 동물 down, but apparently not to them. this is word 4 word what they said.
A Mary Sue (sometimes just Sue), in fanfiction, is a fictional character with overly idealized and hackneyed mannerisms, lacking noteworthy flaws, and primarily functioning as a wish-fulfillment 판타지 for the author 또는 reader. Perhaps the single underlying feature of all characters described as "Mary Sues" is that they are too ostentatious for the audience's taste, 또는 that the author seems to favor the character too highly. The author may seem to push how exceptional and wonderful the "Mary Sue" character is on his 또는 her audience, sometimes leading the audience to dislike 또는 even resent the character fairly quickly; such a character could be described as an "author's pet".

While the label "Mary Sue" itself originates from a parody of this type of character, most characters labeled "Mary Sues" 의해 readers are not intended 의해 authors as such. Male Mary Sues are often dubbed "Gary Stu", "Larry Stu", "Marty Stu", 또는 similar names.

While the term is generally limited to fan-created characters, and its most common usage today occurs within the 팬 fiction community 또는 in reference to 팬 fiction, original characters in role-playing games 또는 literary canon are also sometimes criticized as being "Mary Sues" 또는 "canon Sues," if they dominate the spotlight 또는 are too unrealistic 또는 unlikely in other ways.)

AU - alternate universe. basics if something is non-canon (I'm pretty sure), like OC sisters/brothers, not following timelines and such.
OC - other character
Mary Sues are basically characters who are too perfect and cliché - 당신 know, they have it all and so on and so on. like Bella 백조 for example.
