YMMV / The Fanmake Blooper Series

• Hilarious in Hindsight: Of all the fanfic tropes seen in the series, Her Code Name Was "Mary Sue" came out of it with the least amount of deconstruction and in fact can be seen as a reconstruction, only being twisted by the end of Shadow of the Beast where the Big Bad is a self-insert. It didn't take until a later fic written by Psyga, one with even more Rage Against the Author, to see a full on deconstruction of the trope.
