I never had a Mary Sue, not even in idle fantasy, and when I started writing fanfic, my then-friend made me feel like a freak for not having one. Clearly I had no imagination, couldn't grasp simple human emotions, and would never write anything anyone would want to read. So instead of writing anything of my own, I ended up betaing her epic tale of the Mary Sue who fell in love with X-Men's Beast, even though they could tragically never have sex because he was hung like a horse. I used the Sue in a single stand-alone that's on my site. Yep, I had to borrow a Sue. Pathetic.
