Re: AYRT
(Anonymous) 2011-08-11 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)In the case you expose I would say their character isn't well made at all. "Your character is awful", somehow. But Mary Sue was named after a fanfiction and was named because it was in that fanfic, not because her personality but because she was better than THE CANON CHARACTERS.
Before that fanfic no one would say some characters (even if now they're seen as Mary Sue) were Mary Sue. They were annoying, and unrealistic and a freaking awful super powerful gals, but not Mary Sue.
That's my point: the term was created on a fanfic because that character was on a fandom work. Would you tell me that before that there wasn't "Mary Sue" characters in books/movies/etc.? Of course they were! Bad made characters, but not Mary Sue since that was made after fandom.
That's my opinion, at least! I'm not saying that's better, just that Mary Sue is a fandom term and should stay there.
