oh my god, if pulled off well, it can be fucking amazing. if pulled off semi-bad, it can still be enjoyable. and, for Peggy Sue fics, the character used can be literally anyone. from the protagonist, to a side character with barely any knowledge of the story, to the villain... it can be amazing. 10/10.
