Needless to say, we all got a kick out of it.

But seriously, the guy makes a point- all the untapped potential to be had! And the wizards just spend their energy hiding from Muggles! Sure, it's to keep up The Masquerade because there wouldn't be a story without it, but... oh man, the Plot Bunnies are starting to breed.

(Hi, you)

I thought it was interesting how much this forum's definition of Mary Sue differed from ours, despite the shared feeling of 'Mary Sues make fanfiction terrible!' I also thought it was interesting just how much the attitude towards what to do with them differed.

Then again, this is also a gaming forum; the point of it isn't nearly the PPC's of commentary and analysis and general 'Please, this is how you do it right.' It's of how to make an entertaining tabletop game. I kind of wonder what it is about the different definition and goal that makes it seem like a more entertaining premise than, you know, Kill The Sue as a campaign, Stop The Sue Distorting Reality, etc.

And yes. Alas that we cannot actually fix dodgy and/or eternally inconsistent canons, but Canon is Canon.

Anyway, I figured it was something we could all enjoy reading and thinking about, as 'definition of a Mary Sue' has been a discussion before and I don't know, maybe it's a good thing to know how others define it in case someone accidentally ends up discussing it with one of them. Mutual understanding of terminology is important. (Alas for a lack of consistency.)

Probably in connection with the London Gathering this summer, seeing as I was there.

And that cheesecake refrigerates very well, so that should keep for a goodly while that way.

(At least slightly, my people memory can be abysmal.)

Oooh, fudge! Thanks!

Things have been fairly busy, but good! How 'bout yourself?

So long as the Schrodinger's Cookies do not have peanut butter, we're good. :)

Life is very life-like, much to my eternal disappointment. How've things been with you?
