Re: Favorite published 'Mary Sue'?

Wait, what? I've read Emily of New Moon (mostly because I found a copy from its second printing [in 1923!!!!] among my grandmother's things when she died, and I was like, "this is so old and so pretty! I must read it!"). I had no idea that it was the start of an entire series.

And my goodness, that all sounds so ridiculous. There's some Sue-ishness in the first book, but it's nowhere near that level!

Wow! A second printing!!!! :O Did your grandmother read it when she was young? That's really cool.

Yes! Well, a series of three, anyway. I may be slightly exaggerating the Sue-ishness because I enjoy it, but there is a lot. Emily Climbs is the sequel (Emily goes to high school!) and Emily's Quest is the final book. It's Sueriffic, but it also has a really intense, accurate portrayal of depression. And also mystical mind powers.

In the second book, the author begins to incorporate Emily's diary entries, and these are largely based on her own diary, which she was copying and editing at the time she wrote the Emily books, so there's a huge amount of self-insertion and wish fulfilment woven into the writing.

If you liked the first book, check them out! They're not as good as the first book, but I love them.

Oddly enough, I don't think that she did! Based on the notes written in the front, she was at least the third owner, and it didn't come into her possession until after my father and uncles had been born. I have no idea when or where or why she got it.

Interesting. I think I will look into reading these; the notion that she pulled from her own diary amuses the hell out of me, and at the same time, I'm intrigued by the treatment of depression. I always appreciate a story that portrays and handles it well.

So, thanks anon! Man, it's only Tuesday and I've already added three books and a collection of short stories to my reading list. :-p Fuck yeah, FS!
