Hello, I was just writing to ask you to please continue with this story. (I used to review under the user ID "speckledlamb1993...remember me?) Honestly, this was one of the first stories, if not THE first story I read when I came to .
I was glad to see that you'd updated the story since I was last on this site...please do continue with it! God recently crossed my paths with a wonderful friend who also enjoys writing...and superheroes...and Batman in particular! We've both started working on that fanfiction idea that's been rolling around my head for almost eight years now, and I'm enjoying the writing process so much! All that to say, please don't let writer's block or other writing difficulties discourage you! :)
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, XxCupcakeAssassinxX. God bless!

I was actually very impressed with Allie's characterization and growth. If she was ever a Mary-Sue, it would've been closer to the beginning, but you've done good work in making her grow as a character - her inner feelings about not wanting to be a victim was an excellent section, and provided ample material to have her become someone stronger and more mature. A Mary Sue doesn't reflect on her character flaws, a Mary Sue sits around being pretty while other characters reflect on her LACK OF FLAWS. Allie was acting like a perfectly normal teenage girl - starting out a little self centered and passive, but she's slowly starting to find her core strength and is working to become someone she can respect. That is not a Mary Sue story, that is a classic coming of age story! Mary Sues all have tragic events that somehow don't affect their personality or outlook whatsoever, and merely serve to make you pity them. If traumatic events happen to a Mary Sue, it's just to make everyone love her even more, rather than to actually have any impact on the Sue's character growth. Allie's trauma was making her evolve as a character and as a person. That is not something to abandon, that is the sort of storytelling you want to KEEP GOING WITH!
And yes, while some people would say that any of the major villains bothering to pay attention to a random teenager is sort of off kilter and that the fact that they're bothering to kidnap her means she's a Mary Sue, I actually would disagree - the villains have all had pretty reasonable (for them) motivations here. Harvey needed a hostage so the police wouldn't shoot him, Croc just likes to eat people, and Joker thought it would be hilarious. It makes SENSE!
Still, it's your choice. I, however, think that there is plenty of potential here. Your character is not a Mary Sue in my book, and she has the potential to become even more complex, interesting, and non-Sueish in the future due to her experiences here.

I love this story! I think you did a great job with the characters and the plot has an amazing hook. It would be a shame if you discontinued the story. My vote is you keep going on, though I understand if you are unable. By the way, have you thought about putting it up for adoption?

Okay, so; first it was Two-Face, getting kidnapped in an elevator at her mom's work, and right from under Mr. Wayne's nose; then it was getting attacked AND kidnapped by Killer Croc to be used for leverage because of revenge; and lastly, but certainly not least, there's Catwoman. Jeez, this POOR...girl! Some Friday hers turned out to be. I mean, honestly! XD

Aw, Storm Hawks; oh how I miss that show. It's so much better than Slug Terra, or whatever the heck it's called. Although, I have to admit; that the noises that the slugs makes are really, really cute! :)

Please continue. I don't think Allie is *too* Mary Sue-like (yet). Besides, even if she was slightly Sue-ish, it's still early in the story. There's plenty of time for her to grow as a character, and become less "Little Miss Perfect" and more human/relateable.
Or, if you're really that unhappy about this story, then why not rewrite it rather than abandon it? Take a little time to focus more heavily on the aspects of Allie's character and fine-tune them, and THEN tweek the plot to make it more satisfactory to you. Giving your characters, as I understand, some of the good and bad traits of people you actually know will help un-Sue her. For the plot/context of the story, do heavy research on the show you're writing about- rewatch old episodes, look at character wikia pages, etc. Also, think about real relationships, and how they develop over time- how fast or slow.
I hope this helps you! :)
