Wow! Your Sue could be a primer on Sue-ness! That's awesome!
I've never written a Mary Sue in the sparkly, gorgeous, can-do-no-wrong as she saves the day and ends up with the hottest main character sense. But I did once write a long X-Files story (yes! me! long story! with plot! and many chapters! I'm not sure what happened to my capacity to do such a thing...) that largely centered around the daughter of John Doggett and Monica Reyes (and was, naturally, named Dana, after Scully). Dana Doggett wasn't a particularly interesting OC, but neither was she a true Mary Sue; she was flawed and irritatingly teenagerish, and at the end of the day she ended up with William (the baby of Plot Doom, all grown up). And then they saved the world.
It actually had more potential than most of my X-Files stories, I think, and was no worse than some of my early SG-1 stories that are still pretty easily available, but I'm nevertheless awfully glad that it's disappeared from the realms of the interwebs forever!
