Anyways, yes, I think that list should help for the most part, and if you want to ease her into her intervention of sorts, you could show her examples of awful Mary Sues. I could dig some up, even; Jenna from My Inner Life and the My Immortal person are two egregious examples that come to mind and make me shudder with revulsion. In any case, if you need anything else, ask; TV Tropes is a great resource for writing in general and I hope you can get even more use out of it than just that index :D
