I agree that it's selfish, actually. Even though it's done for free, in your own personal time, etc. Self-inserts, whether sexual or not, pretty much ARE just a person's fantasies if they take up a significant amount of the story. And the writer isn't the only one investing time into a story- the reader has to do the same thing. Usually these things are huge and have a fuckton of chapters, and that's not even taking into account the wait between the chapters.

I read fic for the show because I care about the existing characters. If I don't know an author and don't care about them personally, I'm not going to care about their self-insert. I might read my friend's self-insert fic, but a stranger's is just... well, kind of masturbatory. It's like hearing about somebody else's dream that they had. Unless you're really interested in that person, there's no reason to care.

Aaaaaaaaand. I'm not saying it's BAD or anything, but as a girl I'm a little uncomfortable with the fact that the self-inserts are usually guys who have this destined-to-succeed relationship with the author's favorite girl pony. I know it's a female-heavy cast, but if you want to write het, there are a ton of background ponies that have a little bit of fanon personality and that you can mostly flesh out. I mean writing about Doctor Hooves or Big Mac getting with Fluttershy doesn't squick me out as much as you writing about YOURSELF getting with Fluttershy, because it's this... I don't know. It feels like you want to make sure the whole internet knows that you want to bang Fluttershy, and that's just... a little too much information for me. At least if you're writing canon-main-girl/fanon-background-guy, there's this level of plausible deniability that it's not as much about your fantasy as it is that you think it could make an interesting story.

I just don't want to know if you want to bang Fluttershy. It feels like some dude at a con telling me what his fetishes are when I didn't ask, I don't know him, and he's creeping me out.

I... never said it wasn't okay to HAVE that kink. I'm a little grossed out by Fluttershy-lust, but I don't really have a problem with it existing. What's gross is people needing everyone to know about it.
