Excellent! Sue/Stus really only are if they run the show. If they're just the background extra or it's mostly out of perception via other characters, then they're not. But when the spotlight goes their way...

There also are Anti-Sue/Stus. Their characters are what they say they are; characters with too many flaws or no sympathetic reactions to them, in addition to the fact they're very one sided and two dimensional. Joe and Dante are the best examples that come to my mind.

Metaphor use is only good if it' subtler. If you can always blatatly tell it's a metaphor all the time; you're doing it all wrong.

I understand that most people are barely grasping fiction, hence beige prose, but there are script stories such as TDChaos that due to their form, give no detail. Hence the beige-ness of them.

Since I consider purple prose an overkill over description, clothing descriptions kind of fit the bill, so their in the same prose family essentially, in my opinion.
