Self-Insert Fic: Difference between revisions

 

=== Literature ===

* Richard Marcinko, former Navy SEAL, has written the ''Rogue Warrior'' series, a collection of anti-terrorism action novels with himself as the main protagonist. What is especially interesting is that the ''fictional'' Rogue Warrior books are written as sequels to the ''factual'' first book, entitled ''Rogue Warrior'', which was Marcinko's autobiography. What is even more interesting is that his real life exploits (leader and founding member of both SEAL Team Six and Red Cell, along with being a legitimate [[Jerkass Stu]]) make it almost impossible to draw a line between self-insertion and [[Author Avatar|avatarhood]]. Fans and critics of the series argue over whether Marcinko's characterization in the fictional followup books is [[God Mode Sue|blatantly overpowered]] or whether he is, in fact, just that Badass.

** FBI agent Joseph Pistone, better known as ''[[Donnie Brasco]]'', wrote (or put his name on top of) several fiction novels following him going undercover yet again as Donnie Brasco to infiltrate some evil goings-on or another. These seem to be out of print.
