Line 8:
Usually, these stories are done in a style similar to ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', taking excerpts from some other [[Fanfic]] writer's work and building around it. The tone will usually be [[Deadpan Snarker|cynical and satirical]].
While some works with this sort of character are revered, random examples of this genre are not as accepted as normal [[MST]]s. Writers are expected to ask permission to [[MST]] another fanfic. Mary Sue Hunters will at best humiliate, and more likely kill and humiliate, the Mary Sues hunted; it's hard to get permission for ''that,'' and there is expected to be honor amongst fanfic writers. Thus, these stories tend to get banned from most regular fanfic communities, and [[YMMV|might possibly not be a good idea]].
Mary Sue Hunters are more tolerated if the author also creates the prey—that is, the Sues hunted. These will usually be [[Parody Sue]]s by definition; the stories they appear in probably won't exist outside the Hunter fic, if there.
