Marisu

The term "Mary Sue" became a lot more mainstream a few years ago - but around comic book websites like ours, and circles that were into writing and deeper fandom have been well versed with this for much longer.

The Mary Sue is a character who has abilities or positive qualities that seem greater than the universe of the story around him or her.

It had its origin back in the 1970's I think, in a Star Trek fanfiction where Ensign Mary Sue was assigned to the Enterprise and outshone all the regular series characters, and I believe won the loyalty and love of Captain Kirk, and maybe Spock and McCoy as well; I haven't read the story.

Anyway, a year or two back we had a little Mary Sue submission and it made for a fun little comic.

I'd like to do that again for anyone who's interested.

Watch this space for submission dates, and let me know below if you're interested in submitting something (just one page) to a little 2023 Mary Sue collection here on the Duck.

Here's last year's Mary Sue Comic: https://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Mary_Sue_The_Comic/

Our friend HippyVan did this before me, so credit to that notable for the idea!

Anyone interested in submitting to this, maybe in the next month or so? What are your thoughts on Mary Sues?

See you next time!
