Yeah, how come guys get all the fun? We call MarySue guys Gary-Stus. XD Perhaps because in culture guys think they are supposed/genetically geared that way, and culture dictates that we of the potential childbearing aren't? I know that in history, every woman that was MarySue-ish was labelled either a witch, a harridan, a bitch, a tramp, a whore... Wow. That's enough to make even the mildest feminist reach for the battleaxe and start wading through the bodies. *evilgrin* OMG, so true! Yeah, how come guys get all the fun? We call MarySue guys Gary-Stus. XD

Huckleberry Finn - all about the boy's feelings and thoughts. Bloom -- the only thing outside himself is his wife's happy self-time. EVERY comic book hero. Most of Greek myth and almost all religions. How come BOYS get to be self-centered, overbearing, me me me dorks and girls DON't? Tell me ONE male character doesn't fit the bill!

I think it must really be a consequence of adolescent self-consciousness. I was never tempted to do a Mary Sue until I was a teenager in earnest, by which time I’d written a load of stuff already.

The best MarySue ever is "True Grit." What an obnoxious little snot; don't we all wish a director who understood western humor had made THAT movie?

Even as "stout" as I am, I can still fit better in a plane cockpit than he can. HEh. Some of my first literary characters were horrible Mary-Sues, emotional, moody, firey, chock full of PMS. Ugh. I keep that sh*t around so I can laugh at how pathetic my stuff was back then. It keeps me from sliding back into that type of stuff. Somewhat.
