Mary Sue
Well, I'll be. I never realized that
the original Mary Sue
(unlike
Eye of Argon
) was written as a parody. It was original only in the sense that it bequeathed the name to the genre it was parodying.

So are most Mary Sues, but at least that author knew what she was doing!
I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse...

I think it makes it better. It is so clearly meant to demonstrate the phenomonon that existed even if it was unnamed.

aaah gotta love Star Trek and its ability to coin such wonderful beginnings of fanfic terminology.
