Who should say "Then why would they make you see me?" Pembleton or Munch? I can't decide...
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Pembleton.
Only one word in the last piece that rang wrong: slapping cruelly. I think the "cruelly" isn't needed, do you? We know our Angelus....

That's true... and it wasn't really the right word anyway. Pembleton was my first choice...the first answer is always the one you should go with, isn't it?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Has anyone heard the term "CanonSue" to describe the sort of MarySue that is the representation of the author?

No, a character.

Oh, I thought that's what that meant? Is it not?

That's an odd term, isn't it? Because I always though5t the Mary Sue thing was the perfect superhero I-Can-Do-Anything character.
Whereas a CanonSue, under that description (representation of the author), could be flawed, fascinating, you name it.

it's just that up until now, Mary Sue has covered both, generally, depending upon the fandom.

I'm not sure why you'd need another word for it.(except I've seen male ones called Gary or Larry Stu)*cough* Jack Ryan* cough
