This doesn't just happen in fanfics- take a stroll to almost any comic book board and you'll hear stories of Devin Grayson, who writes Nightwing. Not just all the sh!t she did to good ol' Dick Grayson, but the fact that she's such a huge fan that the Tarantula character is widely seen as a Mary Sue (and we won't mention what Trampy did recently, but it's MS taken waaayyyyy too far.).

Bwa-ha-ha! ;D She actually managed to inspire a topic, without even posting it. Brilliant. Another Bundle of Power Ranger Badfic for the MasochisticOh, that stuff is brilliant. ;D Oh, that Star Wars Mary Sue guide is priceless... Rosey, great parody.

Another Bundle of Power Ranger Badfic for the MasochisticOh, that stuff is brilliant. ;D Oh grife...she irritates the Power Ranger fans too!!! I was laughing my ass off...some of the responses were brilliant. "Would someone please let Rita out of her dumpster, quick?!" "Wah wah...Doggy Krueger says he'll cry you a river as soon as your planet gets blown up" ect. LOl...I think Rosey's parody makes it clear the thing was probably written sometime between 1999 and 2002. I'd just about bet money that more than one Mary Sue and Anakin story has been written since Episode 2 came out. Not to mention the inevitable Han Solo Mary Sues... Han realized that Leia was a bitch who only wanted to control him and get his rod up her hole, so he left her. He walked into the new Jedi Academy to confide in Luke (despite being, y'know...Leia's brother) and there was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen, with long red hair, emerald eyes, and huge breasts straining against her modest tunic
"That's my newest student, Mari-Suu Glastonae" Luke explalined. "There hasn't been anyone with a Midichlorian count that high ever--not even my father..."

OMG, this is hilarious. But...I'm honestly going to have to come clean here. Hi, I'm Cliff. (audience: Hi, Cliff!)And I was a "Mary-Sue." Yes, that's right. I'm totally guilty of all of this. Well...not exactly ALL of it, not the sex stuff. That was reserved for other projects. Back in the day, in...like, late 1999, I got obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I just started watching it on TV, and had gotten a few of Christopher Golden's books (oddly enough, "The Gatekeeper Trilogy;" never realized the connection...). About the middle of my first semester in my freshman year at my high school, I started work on a fanfic. At the beginning, it was just me stalking Gremlins (yes, Joe Dante's Gremlins) with...a lightsaber. Not too long after that, I started weaving in Buffy, Angel, Xander, and the rest of the BtVS crew. A few pages after that, I ditched the lightsaber in favor of proton packs and GB equipment. Everything focused at some point before the episode "Graduation," where I wanted to include myself in the fight against the Mayor...with a proton pack. (Honestly, that one image rocked; just a group of guys with packs blasting away) Things went downhill from there and it spiraled into a crapfest the likes of which I shall never return to. Well..."The Off Season" came close, but I tried to be as less crappy as possible. I even went as far as imagining a team-up between myself and Spike where he and I went around Sunnydale, beating the sh*t out of demons, ghosts, etc. Even drew a few pages of a comic like that, too (vividly, one where I get really pissed at Spike for accidentally emptying the containment unit). I even bent the rules of physics several dozen times with a huge proton cannon that popped out of my car's hood that prevented me and my car from falling into a massive hole. ::shakes head:: What the f*ck was I thinking? I've still got it somewhere, and I think I keep it around because it was my first real foray into fanfiction. But I'll be thrice-damned if I'm gonna post it. That thing will never, NEVER, EVER see the daylight of the internet. So, yes, I'm Cliff Roswell. And I was a "Mary-Sue." And now that I am purged, hopefully I can go on to write better stories. --Cliff

I also got a ton of grief for her for "Zodiac Imperative part 3" She and her chronically old-thread bumping friend with an "attitute problem" actually had the gall to accuse me of writing porn. Which is awfully funny, all things considered... ...I mean, she definitely knows what porn really looks like... Yes, she most certainly does know what porn looks like... Edit From Fritz: To keep from violating the Proboards Terms of Service, this link has been removed. PM me or Seraphim (if that's all right with her) if you really really want that linkBeware: The story is rated NC-17, is extremely graphic, and involves Clara Hamilton bumping groins with... no, I'll let you guess. It's finding things like these that make me wish certain types of Mary-Sue were kept very, very private. Where's that vomiting slimer when you need him?

Ah, hey, at least it's good for something. That's the best laugh I've had all week. I know, I know - I've got a lot of growing up to do. Should I say this...? Ach - might as well. Parts of that scene didn't seem very likely. I get the impression that she was working from badly written porn stories (sure, I've read a few, sue me) rather than personal experience. I think maybe I better leave this alone now.

That's the best laugh I've had all week. Clara: "You want me, don't you?" Egon: "Affirmative." PMSL ;D The rest of it just makes me want to puke. Me scared and very disturbed by evil woman's debauched writings. Me want to scrub eyes and brain clean. Me want to go to nice place. Think of nice things, nice things...

Against my better judgement, I peeked. (Janine must have been out of town or something, and he was desperate. Gotta be.) I didn't get any further than the disclaimer that this was NOT a Mary Sue. Warning Sign! Yes, it is.

(Janine must have been out of town or something, and he was desperate. Gotta be.) Egon rape. That’s what it is. Egon didn’t want to do this with the strange woman. Clara Hamilton is Evil and must be stopped. Poor Egon. Is it bad for me to want Janine to kill Clara? With a pitchfork?

Please tell me maybe the Lotsabucks got to Clara or Egon...just please tell me something to help me cope. Maybe the author (& I use that term loosely) read Porn for Dummies. I perfer to call it erotic imagery.

I perfer to call it erotic imagery. ‘Strange Love’ is about as erotic as wet fish. Maybe the author (& I use that term loosely) read Porn for Dummies. Now cease and desist! Egon thought, scolding himself at first, while also failing to recall that the word 'stop' was in his vocabulary. “You’re, not wearing an undergarment.” Notes Egon, after having inexplicably travelled back in time to 1900s England. “Thou mammaries are resplendent and very becoming of a female like yourself.” “You are a big man, Dr. Spengler.” says Clara, quickly putting away the slide rule that she’d hidden inside her huge bra. “Ohhh, Clara!” He moaned as she thrust back and forth, and gyrated her hips from side to side. “…And then a step to the riiiiiight. Put your hands on your hips… And bring your knees in tight! Well, it's the pelvic thrust that really drives me insayayayne. Let's do the timewarp again!” “Eeeeeeegonnnnn!” Yabba Dabba Doooooooo!!
