That's a cruel nickname eve...The Grand Shebang? That's a cruel nickname even for Russell.<br /><br />The whole Mary Sue thing has always been pretentious nonsense from people who once read a prospectus for a Literary Studies course. But the sort of nonsense you'd expect from people with narrow minds. Everyone has so many aspects to their own personality that it'd be impossible to write a character which didn't reflect a part of that personality.<br /><br />I suspect that all these people crying "Mary Sue" have never met the authors in question so one wonders how they know so much about their personality.<br /><br />But I do think that there's a little too much self-pity in saying that you won't write because a fool somewhere will criticise it.
