It's more because I don't need to know other people's fantasies, like fic to me is something I want to read to explore established characters, not someone else's fantasy about them and an established character.

I honestly don't care that much either way, I just don't understand why people feel the need to share it so I was questioning that. I also in general think people could afford to share less on the internet so you can chalk it up to my personal feelings.

For a lot of self-insert writers, that's only one aspect of the story. They also have fun with the other characters and the plot and everything else. You're acting like they're literally just writing about their fantasies of hanging out with their favorite characters, and some are, but others are still treating it as a story that they put work into and that other people might appreciate.

There's really a gradient of self-insert, with the actual writer as a character on one end and characters with various traits borrowed from the writer on the other end. They're not all the same.

And still, even the stories that you're obviously picturing will have people who enjoy reading them. Generally other people who share the same kind of fantasy. Yes, there will be people making fun of it too, but not everyone is put off by that.

I think some of what you're talking about goes more towards and OC then a self insert, but I see what you're saying.

None of that really bothers me, I was never suggesting going out and forcing people to take down all their fic, I truly just do not get it because to me it's embarrassing. I recognize not everyone thinks the same way I do but there's still a level of "???" for me about it.

I'm just not sure why it's more embarrassing than other self-indulgences in fanfic.

It isn't. But clearly self insert fic bothers ayrt more than other self indulgent types of fic, so that's the one they're super duper concerned about policing in other people. But only for their own good, because they're not really bothered by it!

Why do you think that fanfic should be catered to you or kept private?
