Suethor

A Suethor is, as the name suggests, an author who writes a story in which the protagonist is a Mary Sue. Often Suethors don't realize that their beloved protagonist is a Sue, to the point that a fairly good sign that a story is a Suefic is an author's note insisting that their story isn't one. Many don't know what a Sue is, or only know about one or two characteristics. There are, however, some Suethors who just don't care or even see it as a good thing (there's at least one such community out there).

Suethors often react very badly to any form of criticism, even concrit. Typical responses include "You're meen!!!11!!!one!!!1", the use of chatspeak, and/or various excuses.

Many writers start out as Suethors, but most grow out of it, often around their late teens. This can even be noticed in published fiction: Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, Flavia Bujor, J. Fenimore Cooper, and Christopher Paolini all have protagonists who are Mary Sues. Eragon and Natty Bumppo are two of the most blatant Mary Sues in existence, even counting the many Sues in fanfiction.

Suethors and the PPC
The PPC does not go after suethors. The PPC's business is with their products: the badfic that they write. Badfic is not an accurate measure of a real person. Someone who writes even the creepiest, most unapologetic badfic has the potential to improve; many PPC writers have gone through their sue-writing phases and come out the other side. Above all else, a badfic is a temporary reflection of a suethor's skills and mindset, not a permanent one... and it is not fair to judge a person forever based on a bad bit of fanfiction.

This does not stop their products from being bad. Badfic is to be sporked. Suethors are to be left alone. Cursing them in a mission is all-right as long as no nasty insults or other un-PPC-like things are flung. Going after or assassinating them is right out: as they are real people, which would constitute murder.

It also would further fuzzy the line between reality and fiction in the PPC, which has taken quite enough abuse as it is.
