2. I've heard similar sentiments a few times.

4. I don't really care much for the anime versions of Seiya OR Mamoru, but the manga Mamo = <3. That aside, really, this is a fandom thing in general. Anytime there are two big shipping possibilities involving a common character, fierce lines are drawn and some people get outright obsessive... Look at Avatar, Naruto, and (still!) Harry Potter; talk about brutal 'shipping.

9. No idea what the fandom is, but I do have something to say in response to this:
No heterosexual male would dress like that everyday willingly.

I know a few, one's a good friend who's an executive transvestite. He's straight, but loves wearing women's clothes.

Anyway, just saying.


10. XD I'd be more disappointed that they had to be siblings if Han/Leia hadn't worked out so well in my eyes.

37. I think there's a significant difference in knowing that you have a Sue on your hand and choosing to keep her/them to yourself for your own enjoyment and writing what you think is the best OC ever who'll fit perfectly into the fandom.

I keep some Sues of my own around for my personal entertainment (have to harbour a few self-insert fantasies, y'know?) and at the same time, while I know how pissed off I get when I run into what the author didn't realise was a Sue, I realise that in the hands of some decent potentional and talent, Mary Sue can be the stepping-stone to a greater world of writing.

She's the roots for most of us, and while many among us finally are aware of her and have moved on, there's always a part of us that still more than likely would like to be her.
