Thrive to spite them

I've seen fan poetry for Due South by (I think) Kellie Matthews and collen.

Currently I'm working on a poem based on Warren's last moments alive, I'm kind of stuck on certain phrasing, trying to find the words I want.

I'd read it, but I know my poetry-crafting skills are not what I would like.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

This is a really good essay, and captures my own discomfort with the overuse of the term "Mary-Sue" far better than I've been able to.

Michele, that's perfect. That's a definition of Mary Sue that I can get behind. I love it so much I"ve bookmarked your post so I can find that again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dude, I love that.

Yeah, that's really good. I like Alara, she's quite thoughtful.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

Hm. I think I disagree with it in a few different ways; but then again, my personal definition of Mary Sue pretty much is "is it an unrealistic, or boring, over-sympathetic character? stamp her ass." I find MS in original intendedly-literary fiction all the time.
