My definition of Mary Sue comes from Star Trek fan fiction of years ago, where the definition was a self insertion of the author in the story as a character who was beautiful and perfect and usually had a love interest with whatever character the author had a crush on.

These days people seem to think that a Mary Sue is any female character who is strong and able to take care of herself instead of being a pathetic woeful damsel in distress who always needs the male hero to rescue her. I don't agree with that definition.

That's my definition,as well.

Yeah, I hate seeing how every other female character is a 'Mary Sue'. I hate self inserts ... but what I hate more is this trend of calling all these female characters Mary Sues because they actually can do stuff, or have problems ... or whatever. I keep seeing, 'Blah blah Elizabeth Swann is a Mary Sue.' Oh really now? If so, what the fuck does that make Jack Sparrow or fucking Will Turner? But no, because they have a penis stupid fanpersons believe they can do no wrong.
