A '''Mary Sue''' fanfic is in which the primary character is an analog for the author, its abilities inflated to an abnormal level in a way that outshines all other characters. The phrase had its origins in ''Star Trek'' fanfiction. It is usually considered a pejorative term, and Mary Sue stories have a bad reputation in most fandoms. |
