Now, I don't pretend to be the smartest fish around - hell, according to the

a writer of SI works, I'm a somewhat greater waste of space than golf

Hey, I like Golf!!!!

To add my two cents, a good story is a good story, Trash is trash.

I'd also add, that the nature of fan fiction is such that the vast bulk
of the stories are actually self insertion, in that we are inserting our 
bias and views. Just because we don't put an
annoying new character with our name in the fic, does not make them
any less self insertion.

In my opinion, what ever gets you writing is a good thing.  Only way to 
learn is to do.


P.S. By a very strange coincidence Christopher, I just thirty seconds 
before reading
your post, closed down a chapter of Trio, in which your SI character made 
an appearance.
