featherxquillGod, posts like this one piss me off. I mean LOOK at that list. Is there anything interesting an original character IS allowed to be or do without being a Mary Sue?
It might interest some people to know that there are people in the world who are attractive, and have relationships with interesting people. There are people in the world who have this and also have power and charisma. There are people in the world who have overcome unhappy pasts to live functioning, happy lives. Interesting, though. Even in the real world they are the ones most often hated by others simply for being the ones to succeed.
Is it just me, or are there others in the world who are also disgruntled by the dismissal of all fandom OC's as Marys and Garys, simply because a writer had the originality to develop a character of her own.
