Re: mary sue go home
Interesting essay. I'm not a reader of fan-fiction but I've seen a lot of complaints about 'Mary-Sue's and 'Gary-Stu's in same. Truth is, I sometimes like idealised characters as I like to get inspiration from what I read, whether it be fact or fiction. I'm not necessarily agreeing with your take on Mary-Sues being applicable to one set of books and not another. I'm just saying I, and I believe lots of people, actually like Mary-Sues!
