No lie, that makes a lot of sense to me. I wouldn't worry about it!

Hey, who says it's not a proper story? I'm glad you had fun writing it.

[(Anonymous)]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with indulging in a little wish fulfillment fic, OP. I daydream stuff like this all the time, but haven't written it down. Maybe I should. And hey, maybe you WILL feel this inspired about a story sometime, you never know.

[(Anonymous)]

Now that you've done it once, maybe you can channel it again. Writing is writing, and it's all practice in one way or another. Sometimes the utterly self-indulgent stuff is the best stuff, because you're writing it from your heart.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. I think anyone who likes writing should take the opportunity to get these sorts of wish fulfillment/self-indulgent stories out of their heads/systems. It's a nice little confidence booster for yourself, which I think everyone deserves to have every now and again, and if it gets the juices going in regards to other sorts of writing, then hey, win-win all around :).

You seem to be having fun with it - so yay?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, yes, I am having fun with it... It's just that I feel it's a bit of an odd thing to do. Not the self-inserting, but the intense feelings I'm having about the story and the character in it.

[(Anonymous)]

honestly i think the fact you can feel those moments is insanely cool, and something i would be proud of if i were you. i get it feels weird because of the nature of the story but hey, whatever. it's making you happy!

best of luck with your more serious writing too anon!

[(Anonymous)]

Admittedly, yes, it is very cool. Especially the smutty bits (lol).

About self insert... I think that it's hard to write a long fic without internalizing the characters. You need to extrapolate to build on what you know about a character, to make it 'yours', to reimagine. Like, I can write a short story that is completely IC but I need to visuilize character's reaction, to recall their reactions to similar situation in canon. It takes a lot of time. And I can't write their thoughts beyoung the obvious if the canon is not in 1st pers. So all of my long fics are OOC.

Also Dante's Divine Comedy is such a self insert with all his enemies going to hell, literally.

[(Anonymous)]

I know right?

Like when my friend pointed that out to me and we talked about it, it made me feel a lot more confident. If some dude can write a self insert fic about his enemies going to hell, and his self insert being considered too 'pure' for hell despite him reveling in his enemies' fates, and have it become a classic- well I think I could get away with pairing myself with this background character.

[solticisekf]

I like a few published fantasy novels with blatantly self insert protagonists. They're popular books too.

[(Anonymous)]

The super self-indulgent stuff are the things that really inspire me.

[(Anonymous)]

congrats on the 40,000 words. Go you.

[(Anonymous)]

LOL, thanks, I guess!

[(Anonymous)]

Sooo...OP, who's the character? Anyone interesting?
