 * 5) Madness

The Mary Sue Mixtapes by Lily Winterwood
The Mary Sue Mixtapes is intended to portray a Suefic from the writer's perspective and the PPCer's perspective, as evidenced by the covers for the two sides (the PPCer's side is actually more of a general Sue-parody side, but there are definitely elements of the PPC in there). Cover art is inspired by one of Agent Eledhwen and Christianne's missions.

Side A (the Writer's Perspective)
This side shows all the elements of the modern Mary Sue - that's to say, a Sue written in a fanfiction community more aware and less tolerant of the blatant types of Sue. These are your thinly-veiled Sues who, in spite of their apparent ordinariness, still manage to warp the canon to obtain their happily ever after.
 * 1) "Because I'm Awesome" by the Dollyrots
 * 2) "Teenage Dream" by Boyce Avenue
 * 3) "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars
 * 4) "Give Your Heart a Break" by Demi Lovato
 * 5) "Even Now" by Dashboard Confessional
 * 6) "Call Your Girlfriend" by Robyn

Side B (the PPCer's Perspective)
This side shows how the average PPCer may see the Sue, how affected canonicals may see the Sue (in spite of the smothering Aura of Smooth), and, in some cases how a Sue may see herself (think Suedom). Available here.
 * 1) "Primadonna" by Marina and the Diamonds
 * 2) "Sleep Together" by Garbage
 * 3) "I'm So Sick" by Flyleaf
 * 4) "Better than Revenge" by Taylor Swift
 * 5) "You Don't Know Me" by Ben Folds
 * 6) "I Can't Decide" by the Scissor Sisters
