...so you just have a lot of feelings?

Honestly, there's so much going on in this secret that I'm not entirely sure what I should be responding to. Also, your experience (minus the self-insert preference) sounds really typical for fandom, and I'm not sure why this is a secret at all.

It's like four or five secrets in one. So respond to whatever you want. :P

Well, I just don't know much about other people's fandom experiences because I've never been very interactive online and there simply weren't any other people with fandom-related interests around me when I was a kid, so I got used to keeping it a part of my private life. Kind of makes me feel warm and fuzzy to know it is actually typical. It's actually rather novel to me. :)

Fanfic as sex ed = a lot of us in fandom, let's be honest.

And there's nothing wrong with keeping it to yourself! I have a lot of fic I've written that I don't post, just because I write it for myself. Hell, I don't even write most of it down.

Self-inserts and OCs are my guilty pleasure.

I feel the same!! I started OUT writing self insert fic without knowing there was a word for it. When I found out there was, I thought it was the best thing ever!

So I feel exactly the same. Never be afraid to come out of anon and say hi to me. We could self-insert flail together! <3

I could have written this secret in my sleep, except I started reading and writing fic in 1996 and I was 16 at the time. My guilty pleasure was writing X-files self-insert fic (Krycek/me LOLOL OMG), though I never had the guts to publish anything. My only fandom friends were online, fic taught me lots about sexuality (I agree with the above commenter that this is a lot more common than fangirls would like to admit), etc. And, honestly, I'm still quite the Mary-Sue but only in my head.

"yes, of course I'm 17"

I still remember those days - and I was *nervous*, like I was going to get in trouble with the law because I was lying. Makes me laugh to remember that, and makes me feel old when I click 'yes' these days because I haven't been lying for a long time.
