How sick is it that I actually kind of want to write a Mary Sue fic just to see if I can beat the system at [livejournal.com profile] avatarsues?

But what does "beat the system" mean? Does it mean writing the best Sue ever, or the worst? I'm guessing there are two possibilities for such a challenge:

a) To write a fic that embodies every cliche of Suefic, but write it in such a way that I get an "OK" rating [the best they give]. Is it possible to get an "OK" rating with a total Mary Sue-i-fied story?--Is she even still a Sue? How to I do both at once?

b) To write a fic that gets the "Apocalypse: time to die!" rating. Or at least a very love "Abyssmal".



Yeah, okay, I'm bored. Or self-destructive? Or maybe it's a secret desire to see if I can write an OC an integrate her/him with the main cast and, like, get away with it. Of course, if I did go to all that trouble and never got rated at any Mary Sues sites I'd be very disappointed.

Perhaps a penname is called for, to protect what existing positive reputation I might or might not have? But would having an alternate penname suck all the fun out of it? Where's the fun if I can't be held accountable for my crimes against the internet?


EDIT: I could layer it with literary references. The whole thing could be a reinactment of Through the Looking Glass, the way Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? was a psuedo version of The Odyssey! ...::geeking::
