As a public service to all "/" fans, I present here a list of the TEN WORST MARY SUE STORIES IN PRO'S FANDOM, AND HOW YOU CAN AVOID THEM. I'm not listing the author's names, though... in most case they've all ready done that themselves, and I can't see compounding the guilt. So, without further ado:

I almost feel guilty listing this one, because it's actually well-written. But again, the heroine is so unbelievable it's laughable. She even has superhuman powers that enable her to do B&D's job much better than they can, making them look like fools in the process.

Good point about having few likable women in our slash stories...sad, but good. A few shining examples are 'Heart of the Lion' by Patricia D'Orazio, in British Takeaway 3, and 'Games We Played in the Dark' by Deborah Laymon, in Straight Shooting. Note that both of these stories are adult but not slash. Sigh...
