Heeeee! I'll have to work harder on Sueing up things. :)
I think the Mary Sueness starts when you assume anyone wants to read your self-insert wank fantasies. I'm all for boy on boy wanking and demon on human or whatever but when you start putting Becky-the-fangirl-who-is-actually-called-Lorraine-tee-hee into your fic, well....
No, thank you. :)
