Hi,

here's a handy tool to check out all them Mary Sues:

Oh Bugger.

Ed Straker is a Mary Sue.. and I didn't write/invent him. On the other hand Rachel most definitely isn't.

Phew.. at least I am doing something right!!

So..Ed.. the blue eyes have to go, as does the hair, and the suits and the physique.. (crap!)
You can no longer run the studio .. or SHADO..or be a Commander of a Secret organisation...oh.. and get rid of the car.

Sorry.
 

HEY!!! There's an idea for  a challenge.

Write a story with your favourite UFO charcter ( I was going to say Straker ... But I thought of you, Matt!) as a Non-Mary-Sue!!

Ginny... fat, incomptetent, short hair. Dresses in Asda clothes. three kids, all in trouble with the police. Secret drinker ( gin)

Straker. bald, wrinkly, inept. Drives a ..? ah yes, drives a Peugeot 306, 03 numberplate in that revolting shade of puce that was so fashionable once.
and wears suits from Tesco. gave up smoking three years ago and has trhat sanctimonious attitude that only a non-smoker can have!

Paul Foster... easy... gay.. but utterly utterly camp with it.

Alec?.............. Someone else have a go?

Drat. I now have this image of a bald Straker trying to fasten trousers over a paunch. and wearing a grubby stained tie with beige raincoat.

(Old people wear fawn, beige, ecru!)

How on earth can I write a serious torture scene with that image.

I try my best.

I knew it! So for him smoking is not a vice!

Great detective work K-k!

I am seriously having trouble here. Can't breathe. Laughing SOOOOO hard. Imagining a bald, paunchy Ed Straker, nekkid 'xept for a gold lurex G-string.

CROWING with laughter!!!

"Miss Ealand, a full G-string on Alec please!"

Doubled over.

Helpless.

What was his number Louise? "Matt" was a 38, not unexpected for a Mary Sue by design.
