a "Mary Sue" in fanfic is someone a fan made up who comes in and pushes aside the canon characters (which most people were there to read about). This...can't really happen if the whole cast are your own OCs.

That's not a definition I've ever seen. Maybe the people who say it isn't a useful term because there's not one solid, clear definition are right.

The way I've always seen it used is for a character that's perfect and everyone loves, which can obviously exist in original works as well as fanfic. She's depicted as amazingly beautiful and ridiculously intelligent and all the men fight over her and all the women are jealous of her and there's not a skill in existence that she hasn't somehow mastered and she's boring as fuck because no actual humans can relate to her.

"and she's boring as fuck because no actual humans can relate to her."

Except people clearly ~do~ relate to her, because she keeps coming back.

Cheesy wish fulfillment fantasies are still, you know, a part of human nature.
