*Holds up a lighter* Thank you so much for writing this! I've created a couple of original characters and am CONSTANTLY afraid of them being called Mary-Sues. True some characters are OVERLY powerful, or OVERLY beautiful, but most characters that people call Mary-Sues are actually just characters that are slightly above normal. I hope more people read your essay!
