welcome to the "About Mary Sue" links page. Don't let the url fool you, the Mary Sue that created the site gave up the ghost since it wasn't getting enough hits and her enough glory. So, formerly the "Mary Sue Sanctuary", it has undergone a change in ownership and is now a vast collection of links on the subject of characters called "Mary Sues" or "Gary Stus", pro and con - mostly con. I hope you will find these links helpfull and entertaining. A Mary Sue is not an original character or self-insertion, it's one that's written badly, and many of these links will help define the difference between an original character in her own right, and a Mary Sue.

Who and What is Mary Sue?

Go here to see my very frustrated review of a Senna Marie movie.
(Note: 'Senna Marie' is the worst kind of Mary Sue, it is discussed in detail on the "Who or What is Mary Sue?" link.
