You know, I'm so afraid of people applying the Mary-Sue label to my own work, that I usually end up going way overboard in the other direction and write a character that is so very different from me that I can't really identify with her at all, and so I abandon the work.
I'd really like to write about short, curvy women, but the fact that I AM a short, curvy woman makes me worry that people would dismiss it as a self-insert. Possibly I just need to get a little bit more backbone, but . . . these thoughts. They bother me.
