Must admit that I'm totally lost when it comes to these strange "terms" that is (for me at least) totally unlogical... I`m Norwegian, I can`t understand everything! Please enlighten me!! Very Happy

I could try to explain, but Wikipedia will do better than me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Sue

Dear Saphira,

‘Mary Sue’ is often a pejorative term, but another point of view is that Mary Sues empower the disenfranchised. The story with Mary Sue in it was a parody, but it did have a female at the helm of a starship. The people who write Mary Sues give a voice to minorities ignored by popular culture. I have misplaced the reference, but this point of view has developed into a social-legal defense of fan fiction.
