Self-Insert Fic: Difference between revisions

** On the other hand, no less a luminary than David Gerrold originally wrote the famous "The Trouble with Tribbles" episode to feature a young ensign that he saw as a self-surrogate, and did something similar in his novel ''The Galactic Whirlpool''.

** This whole idea was parodied with Melllvar's fan script on the ''[[Star Trek]]'' episode of ''[[Futurama]]''. Melllvar is called on by the crew to save them from catastrophe, and Uhura unenthusiastically falls in love with him.

* The [[Professional Wrestling]] internet fanbase ''loves'' this kind of fiction, often called "Dynasties", "Legacies", "Diaries", or just plain "Fantasy Booking".

** The whole concept of taking a wrestling company and shaping it as the author sees fit doesn't necessarily have to be [[Self-Insert Fic]] material, but when the story opens with Vince McMahon handing over control of the family business to a total stranger, the tone is irreversibly set. (And don't start on the number of women's wrestlers who get into romance...)

* Accidentally happened in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', when Shinkawa designed Otacon to look like [[Hideo Kojima]], and Kojima ran with it and based Otacon's personality off his own as well. While Otacon is one of the most heroic characters and ends up [[Relationship Sue|having sex with Naomi, a character Kojima based on his ideal woman,]] the amount of [[The Woobie|abuse Kojima piled on him]] easily overwhelms all this and makes him look kind of pathetic.

* Sakupen in [[Dad Series|Dadgame]] is probably a parody of this played for laughs (his power is ''really'' over the top, plus he runs away screaming when first engaged) which does not stop him from being [[That One Boss|atrociously]] [[God Mode Sue|hard]].

* The entire plot of ''[[Touhou Pocket Wars Evolution]]'' is that of the player (a [[Otaku|slightly obsessed Touhou fan]]) going to [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink|Gensokyo]].
