I have read a series of books with a Mary Sue/Marty Stu character and they are quite good. The James Bond novels by Ian Flemming.
The character Richard Seaton from Skylark easily qualifies for Marty Stu territory. Kimball Kennison's physical description was based on himself and Cris Kennison(McDougal) was based on his wife's appearance.
Ah well, Doc Smith was more interested in telling science fiction stories(the more unlikely the science the better) and it was the science(later psionics) that was the star of his stories, not the characters.
Besides if you really want to mess around with Vampires, there are so many other choices available and thanks to role playing games, there are worlds that will allow fanfiction.
Ah yes that brings something to mind, RIFTS and anything dealing with Palladium owned properties is probably a no-no. Kevin Siembieda is a real jerk about Palladium stuff. I still shake my head in disbelief when he tried to get the Great Mekton Net Book pulled off the net, because it had Macross mecha in it, even though the people who did the write-ups went to the original source and did their own write-ups. I think Palladium had lost the Robotech liscence at the time, but he still tried to get GMNB off the net.
Hmmm. Most of the worlds described for the various role-playing games have been used in novels.Tom Mathews aka Disruptor
