Self Insert fic has always been a cancer in fandoms and the younger the readership skews, the more invasive the cancer is.

The only decent SI fics are ones that skewer the concept by deliberately having the insert act like they are the greatest thing but immediately find themselves out of their depth and pretty much the buttmonkey of the fic. There are not enough nerds with that level of self awareness, though.

There's literally nothing wrong with self insert fic

Found the SI writer, the non self aware one too. Shouldn't you be off writing about fucking Sirius Black or something?

I literally don't read or write self-insert fic but there's lots of kinds of fanfic I don't read or write, and that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with any of them. I hope that you have fun with doing this sort of thing if that's what you want to do, though!

Srsly. I'm not fond of self insert fics, but I don't lie awake at night thinking that it is out there. That people get so uptight about this just makes me laugh.

They're obviously trolling.

(Anonymous) 2021-11-29 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
So are you, calling troll on everything was our drama two weeks ago. Lets not do it again, it was boring enough first time around.

(Anonymous) 2021-11-30 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
DA

Trollie troll troll troll.

(Anonymous) 2021-11-30 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, so in that case: rude.

(Anonymous) 2021-11-30 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing's as rude as you troll's transphobia.

(Anonymous) 2021-11-29 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I always find it so strange how angry people get that some other people on the internet make up a character to ship with a canon-one. It literally hurts no one, but by all means act like people having fun is some kind of issue.

(Anonymous) 2021-11-29 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
This.

(Anonymous) 2021-11-30 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Right? I have zero interest in it, but that's because it's just boring to me. Not offensive, not something I get angry about. Let people do their own thing, damn.

nayrt

But I can't stand reader fic because it is often hard to filter out since they use dumbass tags like "Y/N" instead of "reader".

(Anonymous) 2021-11-29 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
...did a self-insert hurt you in some way, nonnie? That's a whole lot of anger you're harbouring for something so harmless.

(Anonymous) 2021-11-29 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you literally just time-travel here from the Protectors of the Plot Continuum comm around 2004? Both the level of vitriol and the use of "buttmonkey" feel extremely mid-00s to me.

(Anonymous) 2021-11-29 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
buttmonkey is nineties slang amiga
