Self-Insert Fic: Difference between revisions

** The author ''not'' a very important character, but he isn't so unimportant that he's just an occasional cameo. The author is pretty much on equal terms with the rest of the cast in terms of importance and shifts out of the focus of the comic as often as any of the other regulars.

* [[Final Fantasy VII]] fandom is a breeding place for this type of fanfiction. A good example would be [http://www.fanfiction.net/~highpriestessmegami Sephirothslave's][http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1052718/1/Shinra_High Shinra High] and its sequel, [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1900045/1/Shinra_SOLDIER Shinra SOLDIER]. The main character is a blatant self insert. There are few differences between the OC and its creator: it shares her name, appearance ([[Buxom Is Better|with improvements in the bust area]]), likes and dislikes, preferences, fears, desires, opinions and some skills. The self insert allows Sephirothslave to enjoy the game universe, twist the characters to her own liking, "earn" a position as Commander of the Shinra Army, Sephiroth's love and the adoration or respect of everybody except a few who hate her (and are thus automatically evil). What few seem to notice however, is that she didn't only insert herself into her fanfictions, [[Thirty-Sue Pileup|but also her real life friends (while not even bothering to change their family names), younger sister and even her ''band teacher'']]. The massive ego-mania and canon defilement have earned her hundreds of negative reviews, the occasional [http://lian-hua.livejournal.com/3626.html sporking] and the [[Unstoppable Rage|outrage]] of many fans of the game.

* ''[[My Inner Life]]'' has the blatant self insert Mary Sue of Jenna Silverblade. Hilariously, the author actually freely admits that Jenna is "herself" (or rather an alternate version of herself who lives in Hyrule when she sleeps) and gives a huge disclaimer at the beginning that because of this, [[Daydream Believer|she believes the fanfiction to be true to some degree]].

* [http://danbooru.donmai.us/pool/show/1017 Manga of My Memories of Playing Touhou] by Shino/Ponjiyuusu is example of [[Tropes Are Not Bad]]. Shino replaces playable character and acts as [[Psycho Lesbian]] [[Butt Monkey]]. She repeats mistakes made by common Touhou players and get herself hilariously beaten by game bosses from PCB to UFO.
