That's definitely one aspect of that kind of thing.
I don't even know how or why that's a thing. Entitlement kind of spins me out.
Muh rewards! I deserve them for my hard work and people love my work. You just can't understand the complexity of my genius and did I tell you how much my hive wings are beautiful?
I don't either but these kind of thinking do exist.
I see you've been around dA or ff.net or other places where people hate having their Mary Sues criticised.
Gary Stu also. Self inserts are probably one of the best ways to kill one's growth as they become too attached to an ideal that may just be a phase.
Yep them too.
It's not that unusual to create Mary Sue characters especially in the early stages of one's storytelling career. I think most people who keep it up will eventually move past it as it's extremely boring to work with.
If you're invested with your ideals, they don't seem so. I remember my own perfect characters until I grew out of them. Some can't let go.
