I've seen fan poetry for Due South by (I think) Kellie Matthews and collen.
Currently I'm working on a poem based on Warren's last moments alive, I'm kind of stuck on certain phrasing, trying to find the words I want.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

I'd read it, but I know my poetry-crafting skills are not what I would like.

This is a really good essay, and captures my own discomfort with the overuse of the term "Mary-Sue" far better than I've been able to.

Yeah, that's really good. I like Alara, she's quite thoughtful.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Hm. I think I disagree with it in a few different ways; but then again, my personal definition of Mary Sue pretty much is "is it an unrealistic, or boring, over-sympathetic character? stamp her ass." I find MS in original intendedly-literary fiction all the time.

I still think Laurell K. Hamilton is getting rich writing Mary Sue characters.
