as it is giving me a chance to look at myself as I would any other character, flaws and strengths and all, and figure out what is it about me that would not change no matter what world I was in. Absolutely! And I cannot wait to see the crack-over of yours. I've not so much put myself in as a person, but without question, some characters actively speak with my (sometimes didactic) voice. Also, I'm certainly guilty of the Mary Mom -- I don't put myself in, but write canon characters as I would want my children to behave.
I admit my own thoughts on Sues have changed over the last few years and maybe it's because the children I know have gotten older and I see more of how creative play matures. I get irritated at those who claim to know-it-all. Apart from the nastiness, and really there is enough of that in the world, I find the communities that develop around fanfiction to be glorious and precious and prefer to find ways to build them, rather than making them divisive and mean.
Yeah, the blob race reference is one of those things from my ancient fanfic past (oh KJA you hack). Could not resist. And I just saw the shiny new 3D posters for The Phantom Menace. I'm somehow saw that very mediocre film 13 times in the theater. Strutting twirling Young Obi Wan Kenobi in 3D -- now there's a fantasy I'll indulge in shamelessly.
