Picking her up again to see if I've still got the voice.

[uhhhhhh]

If you're going to make me play here, it would probably be a better idea if you gave me a character. 

[ Tina we've been over this. Just be you. ]

No one wants to tag self-insert characters. I said this before. 

[ None of your characters would think to ask the questions you'd want to ask, though. ]

I could find a way around that. Like if I played a journalist. An undercover journalist. Who looks and talks exactly like me. 

[ ... ] 

Okay, I'm ready.

[Have a Fem!Pyro who is totally amused by her banter. She thinks the girl reminds her of herself as a young girl in a way.]

Little one, are you talking about those cheesy romance novels you are supposed to insert yourself in? I used to read the cowboy ones.

[uhhhhhh]

Those are Choose Your Own Adventure books. They're similar but not really. No, a self-insert is when you create a character based on you to put into your fan fiction or in a roleplaying game. A lot of people don't like them.

...I don't mind them but nobody tags you.

Just be sneaky about it. That's what I do for a living. If you need help I could teach you.

It's more likely that she's going to become you. Players have a tendency to take on their favourite characters traits. Like me.

God she had such a good opening line for Tony Stark the first time around...

[uhhhhhh]

Oh? Who do you play on dear_mun?

I bet it's Batman.

i wish i had been there :(

(Wait. Does she think. Ahem.)

I can't give away my secret identities.

I think self-inserts can still be interesting so long as they're well-written and not too over the top.

[uhhhhhh]

Even the ones people think are bad are important though.

I mean who doesn't want to be Liz Lemon's childhood best friend who is also a zombie hunter.

[brb_comiket]

Yeah! Or Torigoe Academy's newest transfer student who makes friends with all the Precure!! [For a hypothetical, that sounds awfully earnest.]

[boobityboo]

You can be whatever you want to be, Tina. No big-shot writer can tell my baby what to do!

Oh my God your Linda is perfect everyone else can go home

[uhhhhhh]

She's not so bad. She's just too shy to tag everyone.
