Thank you for writing this. As a person who has considered writing (well, I write stuff in my head that never makes it to paper and I do have a few things down on paper but they may never make it anywhere public), I was effectively road blocked by the question of whether my characters would truly be categorized as a "Mary Sue/Gary Stu". In fact, this may even be worth bookmarking for later reference.
