Disagree. I've been in fandom for over 20 years, and that was never the definition on/in any of the forums or communities I've been in over the years. It was always a very specific personality/character type that wasn't applied just to fanfic (honestly, it was used more for TV shows/movies/published books than fanfic in my experience).

DA - Dude, seriously, no. I've been in fandom since the mid 90s. A Mary sue is a fanfic trope. Of course the context of fic is an inherent part of the definition. It's a fanfic trope. The mainstream appropriated it. And by doing so, they fundimentally altered the trope.

In fandom since the late 80s here and have read the original Mary Sue 'essay' (from a ST: TOS fandom fanzine in 1973). AWRTY is right, though no doubt it has expanded.
