Many writers start out with Mary Sueish stories and then develop past that. But it's also an age thing as much as a "stage-of-writing" thing -- teenagers seem especially prone to writing them, but as people get older, the tendency diminishes. We don't have a lot of teenaged writers in LFN (although there are some), but other fandoms do, and Mary Sue is thus much more common.

Let me quickly say, btw, that I'm not accusing all teenaged writers of writing Mary Sues -- I know that's not the case. It *does* seem to be more common in that age group, though.
