*A little OT*

In other fandoms, Mary-Sues usually have the form of some 16 year-old girl - and stick with that, people, 16, I say, 16! - who is amazingly beautiful and seduces some character (who usually has a girflriend/is engaged/is married/has children etc.). Yes, I may have written Mary-Sues, but when I realized that (I noticed right after posting the first chapter that it was a very clear self-insertion, though the aim was not moving over my fave character), I had the good taste of taking the story off.

In my Foster's fanfics, when I began outlining the story, my first thought was "wouldn't it be nice to move over Wilt cuz I looove him?" YES, people. Thus, Mary-Sueish Shaula was created - BUT! Before I posted the thing, took a look at the section, and noticed the main tendency. Thus, the fic changed from Mary-Suesih Shaula X Wilt to Mary-Suesih Shaula being a peripherial character who is friends with Wilt. Have mercy, people.
