AYRT

Yeah, I don't really do that when writing about my favorite pairings, either. When I want to fantasize about myself with a character I crush on, I just cut out the middle man (or woman, in my case :p) and go straight to imagining myself with them. If I'm reading about a particular pairing I like, I'm viewing it all as an outsider looking in and enjoying watching these characters' relationship develop.

But I can see where others might use another character to act out their fantasies of being with the one they crush on. Maybe they see this character as having some appealing, attractive quality they feel they wish they had, maybe using a character as their self-insert is the easiest way for them to communicate, as it were, with their character crush, maybe it's just easier for them to write a romance if they can actively imagine themselves in the shoes of the character who's crushing on someone, I dunno. There could be all kinds of reasons.
