Wellllll, comics fandom was also the only place I KNEW any fandom no-nos at the time. Curing the Legacy virus and bringing back Illyana were comic-plot-specific and kind of... among the common eye-rollers. But I did it differently and, I flatter myself, reasonably well for a first shot.
I will note that there was an actual challenge to write oneself (really oneself, albeit as a mutant so as to have an excuse to be there) into Generation X. I'm not sure if this was a response to Mary Sues or not, but I'm pretty sure it did produce some good stories.
