[edit] Self-insert vs. author character

Since there's a separate article for author character, the difference between these two concepts (if there is one) should probably be discussed here, for the same reason author surrogate does. -Silence 22:35, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

I agree. The main - perhaps only? - difference that I can see is that the term "self-insertion" is used almost exclusively in the fan fiction writing community, where it's in extremely widespread use. It seems to me that this is the only real distinction between the two terms. Runa27 22:05, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
