Topic: Has anyone purposely wrote a story about a Mary Sue?

??? !TGirlYJKXM started this discussion 8 years ago #74,008

It seems like characters end up a Mary Sue by accident, because of how such characters are written. But what if someone were to purposely write a story with the intention of their main character being a Mary Sue. Could that be done?

Yes, idiot. The name Mary Sue comes from a parody of Star Trek fanfictions, in which the author does exactly what you are asking about.

Isn't that what the main character in the Twilight books was?

The author of that fanfiction intended to write that character as a Mary Sue? Keyword there is intended.

It is “has written”, not “has wrote”.
