Mary Sue isn't really a person, it's just an expression for an original character who's perhaps just a little (and, in some cases, more so) too perfect for their own good. Giving your character some definite weaknesses and not making them overwhelmingly popular is a good way to side-step this pitfall. That's just some advice from me, though admittedly I'm hardly the world's authority on fanfic-writing. I've come up with a few OCs myself, but I've yet to share them online.
