Hi. I've got a question to ask of the fine folks here who, like me, enjoy reading and writing fanfiction.

Have you ever, ever found a Mary Sue in Firefly fanfiction? For those who wonder as to what a Mary Sue is, a good Google search will lead you to many interesting essays about the genre, but in a nutshell, a Mary Sue is a (usually) flawless heroine in fanfic who always gets the guy of her dreams, disses with impunity the characters that the author doesn't like, and sometimes saves the day. Often she will have a ridiculous/overly complicated name and will be more beautiful than the prettiest character on the show/movie. I've heard of Sues in the Buffy and Angel fanfic fandoms so fans of those shows may know what I'm talking about. Also you'll probably have encountered some Sues if you read Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter fics.

So. Just curious.

I've read quite a bit of Firefly fic, but haven't really came across any Mary Sues yet. No doubt there is some lurking about and it'll be good for a laugh or two.
