The Tenth Walker is a common type of story in the Lord of the Rings fandom. In it, an extra character, usually an OC, joins the Fellowship of the Ring (which canonically numbers nine) and travels with them on their quest. As with any type of fic, Tenth Walker stories can be done well, but a Tenth Walker OC is almost always a Mary Sue—a subspecies of the type of Sue that joins the canon heroes in their work, mission, or quest.

Agents Jay and Acacia referred to a Tenth Walker Suefic as a 'Code 10'. Fanfics in which more than one Mary Sue join the Fellowship are less common, but certainly not unknown. Usually there is a main Mary Sue, and the others are just her followers. The largest Fellowship that has been recorded had nine Mary Sues, making it a 'Code 18' Suefic.
