	Nope, you're not alone. I first saw it advertised by sailormoonsues...and...well...that journal is a bit wanky to start with. And just from the name...hell. marysues is there for joking around, but it's not intended to make bashing sound like a holy crusade or anything. (Reply to this)

	Oh my god yes. I mean putting "A community specifically for the finding and ripping apart of Mary Sues" in the userinfo is just begging for it as far as I'm concerned. (Reply to this)

	As if there is anything save the extinction of the human species that would get rid of Mary Sues. I smell a giant, neverending flame war a-brewing. Let the war between smashers and MS authors begin. (Reply to this)

	I don't think it'll last long enough for it to get wanky. A fox can dream... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	*raises an eyebrow* Looks like another victim of the dreaded 'Taking Things Far Too Seriously' malady. *pets her sense of humour protectively* ;P (Reply to this)

	Apparently not. Because how dare those fanfiction authors breathe the same air we do, eat the same food, drink the same water, and be able to go out in public without being spat upon?! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I know, honestly! And it's not as if as almost every writer hasn't created a Mary Sue story anyway. Oh wait. EXCEPT THAT IT IS. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If you guys think the LJ community marysues exists just to hate on the authors of Mary Sues, you couldn't be more wrong. In fact, hating on the authors is explicitly forbidden. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	*nodnod* We get a little caught up in the snark sometimes and it can wobble over the line in places (it's a big community, laws of averages and chaos theory and all that), but in general it's really just supposed to be a) a place to commiserate and b) funny. :) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Exactly we don't hate the authors, or at least we really do try not to, we hate the character. Really the two things are seperate. I'll agree that the new community seems to be taking it a bit too far. Icz (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Those "Marysue" Communities at LJ are all full of insane gits who don't know what they are talking about. (Reply to this)
