==The Mary Sue Factor?==


Soon after Kyle's appearance in It's All About Respect, there were several mentions on PPMB at to how Kyle was a 'Mary Sue' character; these accusations seemed to be stemming from a number of scenes in 'IAAR' where Kyle was seen in minor confrontations with Daria where she didn't fare well. The author answered these charges with a posting detailing the shortcomings of the character, after which those claims fell silent. There is, however, a lingering belief that Kyle IS a 'Mary Sue' in that he is a self-insert character that mirrors the author's own fantasies of wish-fulfillment.
