I mean, you have to have some sort of sick, masochistic tendencies to purposely make your Mary Sue go without..... ;D

Well some that irrestibly hot, and awesome and cool clearly has a lot of options!!
Infamous as Elle!:
Technically the audience is being tortured too. Since in literary terms, you're more involved with the first person narration. So we're all waiting for Harry to get some nookie so we can live vicariously through that.
Technically, doesn't that make us as bad as Bob?
Wow, I feel so dirty now.

The definitive Mary Sue = Twilight
Mind you, Anita Blake runs a close second.

Agreed on Twilight. I'd go so far as to classify Bella as an Angsty Sue, going by the Mary Sue Classification system: http://mhari.fateback.com/sues.html
I'd put Merry Gentry ahead of Anita Blake, since she didn't really start out as a Mary Sue, but that's just me saying it.
Infamous as Elle!:
Twilight is OH YEAH Mary Sue....dead on. And it's sickening how well Mary Sue fiction can do. I could never put myself in Bella's place though. There is nothing in me that thinks throwing aside my individuality for a man is "romantic".
Bleck!
Anita Blake....eh, that's more nookie with some plot thrown in. It's a guilty pleasure! ;D
