Mary-Sues. Who would I point and laugh at without them? Well, probably quite a few people but that's not the point.....
I just visited our old favourite Mary-Sue author, took a idle look at her favourite stories and nearly *every* one is also a Mary Sue!! There must be some conclusion to be drawn from this. Does one Mary-Sue attract others, like flies to a rotting corpse? Ew, just grossed *myself* out there. I must have been doing Psychology too long - I'm already wondering what conclusions I can draw from this. *mutters 'bloody psychologists'*
But there could be serious repercussions from this. If the Mary-Sues gang up on us, all could be lost. There is an army of bad writers of Mary-Sues out there who could take over if they realised how numerous they were. o_O We're doomed! DOOMED I TELL YOU!
Oh right, they'd have to have brains to do that. *sigh of relief*
Sorry, I'm taking the piss here. ^_~ I don't mind Mary-Sues in general, it's when the authors reject constructive criticism and deny that it *is* a Mary-Sue that it annoys the hell out of me. I've said this all before haven't I? ^-^ Still, they do provide a source of amusement occasionally so,.... *shrugs*
