You know what? Yes a character can be in love with a canon character. Dating? Meh, okay, if you say so... I can tolerate it, like the valentine episodes of MondoMedia. But Marrying. Oh my god, tell me ONE episode where we see a marriage or two married character. Yes, there is Pop, but his wife doesn't have an appearance in the show. Giggles mother? Wow, really, so much episodes, like one. (Now, could Giggles mother be Pop's wife? mmmmh...)

Flippy-Sue is not only "flippy" reference in her name, or flipping out, or wearing war clothes. The term of Flippy-Sue is the same as Mary-Sue, but implying Flippy. I DID a Flippy-Sue in my youth, however she didn't flipped out, or had flippy reference on her name, or even wore war clothes. But she was a Mary-Sue because she was strong, beautiful, obnoxiously perfect. And Flippy was in love with her, with no apparent motivation, and he was Out Of Character.

​I believe in you~ But the dating factor is one of the main reasons people hate Mary-Sues. I actually don't care anymore, I have my own ideas, my own stories and you guys can do whatever you want with that poor character who had "several children" with almost half of the female characters, BUT saying that Flippy-Sue are only flippy references, flipping out and wearing war clothes make me really angry, you're being really too selective and you're leaving out a lot of Mary-Sues.

Is not a big shame to create a Mary-Sue, though. We learns from our mistakes, so luckly they will understand the mistakes and they will create better, free-standing characters who doesn't need a canon character to make a good impression or whatever. I saw a lot of good character in the Truffle's competition, one of them was an old fellow. He was an interesting character even if he hadn't any contact with canon characters. (I wished for him to win)

Sorry for my terrible english, I tried to write in a readable way. This is my opinion.
