I mean, in my experience, the vast majority of Mary Sues are written by female authors. I'm sure you can find some that aren't, but when I hear hoofbeats, I tend to think horses, not zebras. Doesn't Occam's Razor apply here? Where's the line between an assumption and an educated guess?

Just to be clear, this is meant as philosophical thinking aloud, not a demand for answers. {= )

It's a common stereotype that most fanfiction writers are girls. And these Sues usually tend to be self-inserts, so...

I did some dredging of the author's bio and found her blog. Most definitely of the feminine sort.

The only thing I don't know is her age... you agist. :P

Because why not? I like plant names. Shush. >.>

And that's just what I can come up with looking through the index of my herbs book, and a few off the top of my head, leaving out anything I know already belongs to a character in the Potterverse. Some of 'em could even work for a male character.

Chrysanthemum is a nice name, and easily shortened to Chrystie.

I have seen way too many Sues named Holly, Violet, and Jasmine, as well as Lily/Lilly. I would send out a general plea for originality, but that's when you wind up with names like Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way.
