A thought.
Mary-Sue: [n] Derogatory. A BNF who is, in the opinion of the accuser, far too popular for no good reason, and who is bloody annoying because of it. One who is far too 'up themselves'. Especially one who actively courts an overblown image, lauds their own accomplishments at every turn, or generally acts in accordance with the fanfiction stereotype by insisting that any and all events they attend be about them. (JR Fen is such a Mary Sue. Can also be used as a warning to stop being an attention hog, or asshole, or stop angsting on about something unimportant. (Stop being such a Mary Sue!).
Fandom specific: Sailor Earth (Senshi), Fifth Saber (Genaros), Wesley (Trekkies. Also origin of the original term). Haruhi.
Munchkin: [n] Occasional synonym for Mary Sue, though implies a shiftier sort of character who will use cheating and subterfuge to get what they want, an amoral who plays to win at all costs. Mostly common among Roleplayers. Can have less negative connotations when referring to someone who is spectacularly good at one thing, to the detriment of all else. (JR Fen is such a Martial Arts munchkin). Also see OGJ: Munchkin raid
