Quotes / 30-Sue Pileup

"If readers are complaining that the story's original character is a blatant self-insert Mary Sue, then there's only one thing to do: add more of them. If one overpowered self-insert original character is good, then a hundred more is even better! In fact, the lack of a solid core character means that these kinds of original characters can be easily mass-produced with only slight variations to their powers and abilities. One Mary Sue is usually terminal for a story, but I'm pretty sure 100 Mary Sues counts as a war crime. And there is nothing anyone can do to stop that many Sues."
