I agree.

It's the way that the fic is always about Mary Sue, rather than the canon universe. I don't know about you lot, but I read fanfic because I like the canon, not because I want to hear the amazing adventures of Mary Sue the magnificent.

Also, the way that in Suefics, 'strong character' always means 'bad-tempered bratty little hellbeast'.

Also, when she takes over canon to such an extent that even in scenes where she's not there, all the canon characters do is talk about her. ("Thank heavens we have some time alone! Now I can think about Mary Sue in peace. I'm worried about her, aren't you?")
