Compare [[Historical Domain Character]].
 
Not to be confused with when a [[Self -Insert Fic]] doesn't even bother with an [[Author Avatar]] and the author just puts themselves (and their friends) in.

== [[Fan Works]] ==
* In-universe example: in the [[Mass Effect]] fanfic ''[[Project Gethinator (Fanfic)|Project Gethinator]]'', it's mentioned that {{spoiler|Admiral Daro'Xen}}, who is [[Yandere]] for Shepard in a big way, has written quite a few [[Self -Insert Fic]] [[Real Person Fic|Real Person Fics]] involving herself and Shepard. According to those who know of them, they're quite sick and depraved, second only to [[Noodle Incident|what Prazza did in]] ''[[Noodle Incident|Fornax]]''[[Noodle Incident|'s Forbidden Issue]], and illustrate quite nicely how completely fucked up {{spoiler|Admiral Xen}} is.
 
== [[Film]] ==
Line 84:
* ''[[I Carly]]'': Nathan Kress/Miranda Cosgrove (known as Niranda or Mathan) fic has recently become as popular as fic for their on-show couple ship Freddie/Carly. They have also developed a [[Memetic Mutation]] for Miranda's current boyfriend, Nat Wolf, who is repeatedly referred to as "The Goober". He also suffers a high amounts (almost to a self referential/toungue in cheek level) of [[Die for Our Ship]].
** Jennette/Miranda is somewhat popular too.
* ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'' fans ship actors David Henrie and Selena Gomez. It's also probably part of the reason that show has a massive [[Brother -Sister Incest]] vibe and that Jalex (the couple of brother Justin and sister Alex which are played by them) is the most popular ship by a very long margin.
* Pairing ''[[American Idol]]'' judges and contestants is also common, especially [[Portmanteau Couple Name|Saula]] (Simon and Paula.) There's even an entire [[Live Journal]] community dedicated to same sex idol/idol [[Fan Fiction]]. (Kris and Adam was probably a field day for them.)
* Lea Michele and Dianna Agron of ''[[Glee]]'' fame. The two of them sort of fuel it with the all the PDA and the fact that they lived together for a while, and had two pet cats together. Who gets a pet that lives for so long with their friend?
Line 92:
* In a rather hilarious scene in the [[Korean Drama]] [[You Are Beautiful]], a member of a boyband reads horribly melodramatic RPF of himself slashed with his bandmates... and enjoys it.
* It sometimes seems like the people who write fanfic about the soldiers from [[Band of Brothers (TV)|Band of Brothers]] are blissfully unaware that those men really exist (or did... most of them have since passed on). The shipping involved can really become an exercise in the bizarre if you know anything about their [[Real Life]] relationships.
* Back when ColbertNation.com was made to look like a fansite for ''[[The Colbert Report]]'' as opposed to the official site, among the "fan-submitted" contents was an intentionally [[So Bad ItsIt's Good]] [[Stephen Colbert]] x Bill O'Reilly fic. The original page is gone, but the contents have been preserved [http://wikiality.wikia.com/Colbert_Nation/Shorts_Weather here].
* Check any section of a popular [[Disney Channel]] show or movie (As ones [[High School Musical]] and the ones starring [[Miley Cyrus|Miley]], [[Selena Gomez|Selena]], [[Demi Lovato|Demi]] or the [[Jonas Brothers]]) on Fanfiction.net and you'll find them without much effort
* [[Big Time Rush (TV)|Big Time Rush]], as the main characters are [[The Danza|named after themselves]], there's a lot of slashing going on with the four boys. Of course, issues with characterization might just mean that the fic in question just got their last names wrong, but mostly, [[RP Fs]] are written for setting, as their onscreen relationships are quite similar to their offscreen one.
Line 103:
** He admittedly does lend himself to it. However, as often as not he ''is'' being Ziggy/Thin White Duke/Halloween Jack/what have you at the time...
*** There is also a fair amount of [[Screw Yourself|Bowie on Bowie]] fanfiction, clearly due to his numerous personas.
* Most [[Boy Band|Boy Bands]] are ripe for [[Slash Fic|slashing]] due to their prepackaged [[Five -Man Band]] archetypes.
** [[The Plot Reaper|Both kinds, probably]], if [[Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls|most Fan Fic writers weren't tweens]].
** Japanese and Korean boybands acknowledge and encourage the slashing to a ridiculously high degree. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWEfliT3aik This painfully awkward interview with Jaejoong and Yunho] of [[Dong Bang Shin Ki|TVXQ]] illustrates the trend to a T. Their ridiculous stage gay is almost a market in and of itself.
Line 179:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* People apparently ship [[Something Positive|Randal Millholand]]/[[Girls With Slingshots|Danielle Corsetto]]. Millholand was not amused. (He'd posted some comics of them hanging out together at conventions.)
* Shipping [[Andrew Hussie]] and [[Axis Powers Hetalia|Hidekaz Himaruya]] became a thing that happens in mid-2011; it might be tongue-in-cheek given it's been stated to arise from both being [[Trolling Creator|Trolling Creators]], but [[PoesPoe's Law|who can really know with these things]]? Hussie himself came across a [[Tumblr]] blog dedicated to "[[Portmanteau Couple Name|Hussieruya]]" and [http://twitter.com/#!/andrewhussie/status/111290799857213440 was mildly amused].
** [http://www.formspring.me/mspadventures/q/220484618011319778 Hussie weighs in on this trope in general.]
