Write them, sure. But post them in public? Posting your private fandom fantasies is just weird to me. Those are by their nature entirely personal.

Fanfiction in general is basically a private fandom fantasy. Making self-insert fanfiction just adds an extra layer of personalization, but the core concept of playing around with canon remains the same.

That... that's a take to have. By that logic no art or even thoughts should be posted online (because everything we share online is arguably an extension of private/personal fantasies).

The difference is that with most fics there is probably going to be shared interest with at least a few people. Self-inserts are very specifically designed after the author and are going to be a lot more specific to that person.

... so? Nothing about that means that they inherently have less right to be posted than any other story.

Thought experiment: I'm fairly certain that less people are into into my weird kink fics written about two characters but with my specific fantasies in mind than would be into a well written character/ self insert vanilla smut fest. Does that mean my kink fic has less right to be uploaded than the self insert?

Plus, fandom is basically a living example that humans actually share most of the same fantasies, just with some specifics changed. Hence why Y/N fic are so popular (which are essentially self insert fics by a different name and we all know it).

You are right. Sorry. Wasn't trying to say they aren't allowed to post, meant it was weird to post them. But honestly mostly I'm annoyed that in my fandom right now there are a ton of these fics that are being tagged with ships of canon characters but then it really is a self insert being paired with both.

I see what you mean, and I don't share mine, but I've actually read self-insert fic and enjoyed it to be honest.

Relax, a million billion Mary Sue fics could get posted and there’d still be plenty of internet left for you.

well now I'm definitely gonna post them now.
