"Increasingly a lot of people are referring to poorly-designed OC's as Mary Sues. (for example the person later in this thread who says they have made six Mary Sues but none of them were based on the author.) Technically this is wrong - unless the character is based on the author, either deliberately or subconciously, it's NOT a Mary Sue."

How then would one know if a character is a Mary Sue if one does not know the author?
