* [http://www.heavens-feel.com/elmer/evad1.txt Tom. Fucking. Dyron.] is one of the more audacious, unbelievable examples readily available. His 13-chapter fic, ''Evangelion 2: The DELTA Invasion'' ('''EVANGELION 2'''!), is the most ridiculous mess ever seen. Tom, the character, is... look, just read it. MSTed in the link above, ''do not'' attempt to read it raw.
* [[David Gonterman]]'s <s>fanfics</s> ''everything'' feature Gonterman himself (or an obvious [[Author Avatar]]) as the story's ''real'' hero. In the rare cases he isn't, it's because he made an obvious dream heroine, whose boyfriend will be suspiciously similar to him.
** One might consider this blanket statement to be nullified by Gonterman's insert in ''[[Gonter Verse|Planeswalker]]'' being the father of the main character... if it weren't for his lax attitudes about incest coming to the forefront of ''[[So Bad It's Horrible/FanficFan Works|Sailor Moon: American Kitsune]]''... yeah...
* [http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_ch.php/22756/58253#fic_c Hikaru's Non-Redundant Self-Insertion Nadesico Fanfic], in which a character in the series inserts ''herself'' into a fictionalized account of oh dear I've gone cross-eyed. It's a lot easier to understand than it is to explain. Needless to say, this is [[Affectionate Parody]] of the genre.
* [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1162566/Crazyeight Crazyeight's] ''Fourth Wall'' series is set in a fanfiction website that is a place in its own right, accessible to authors the way the Digital World of ''[[Digimon]]'' is accessible to the Digidestined, except they only need to log on to visit. The first in the series, ''The Wages of Fans is Fiction'', is about an author who tries to replace the Digimon canon with his own fiction and the resulting revolt, with other authors leading the revolutionaries in person.

* Hundreds, possibly ''thousands'' of these came up over the years in the ''[[Bob and George]]'' forums among the fan authors. It would be impossible to list them all. Needless to say, some were good, some were bad, and some were just plain ugly.
* The ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' fic ''[https://archive.yggdrasil.org/omg/index.html Oh! My Brother].''<ref>Which is continued in [https://archive.yggdrasil.org/omg/index.html ''Drunkard's Walk V''.]</ref> An example of the ''good'' kind of self-insert. Christopher Angel manages to create a very readable and enjoyable series.
