FIFTY BUCKS! Cost me fifty bucks to fill up my gas tank this morning. (Well, $49.50, but close enough!) $3.85 a gallon for premium! :p And my tank wasn't empty, had just a hair under a quarter of tank left, and it STILL cost $50.00 to fill up. Geez.

So, a couple of entries down, the subject of Mary Sues has come up. This is, admittedly, one of those "button" issues for me. So, I'm no doubt going to catch some heat for expressing my opinion of the issues surrounding Mary Sue here, as I know there are lots of vehement anti-Mary-Sue'ers out there ( Read more... )
