Brief response because I'm currently deadlining on work (can someone clone me? better yet, can someone make a Lieutenant Mary Sue of me who is sparkly and magical and able to accomplish a week's worth of hard intellectual grinding with the snap of her fingers, *AND* win acceptance into the Vulcan Order of Gallantry?!)
Conversation over lunch sparked on the LJ version of my post. It is over here and puts a little more form into what isn't sitting quite right with me in this whole act of conflating "Mary Sue" with the variety of female-focused escapism and power fantasies: http://vieralynn.livejournal.com/203279.html I'm pretty certain Auronlu has access to my LJ but if anyone passing through wants to read these f-locked posts, ping me here (DW is my main home) or on LJ (where I cross post on rare occasion). I'm a snarky geekgirl currently working in academentia, been in and around fandom since the 90s.
