I really think you should consider not making the lemon side-story of your 
FF publically available.  This is for a few reasons, a large one being that 
self-insertion fanfics are fighting for credibility to begin with, and 
making the author have sex with an anime character is a great way to lose 

Well, I didn't plan on making it publicily availible but I do plan on 
posting it on this ML os that I don't get 20 people asking me to e-mail 
them the copy.

In addition, it's pretty much the nature of self-insert things that, in 
terms of the story, readers don't really care about the self-inserted 
author.  The inserted author can only be appreciated as a Joe 
Average...not supposed to be interesting, as much as providing an 
alternate viewpoint to the anime universe.  It seems to be the general 
concensus of everybody who ever lived that graphic written descriptions 
of sex aren't interesting in and of themselves, but can be an interesting 
plot device between interesting characters...so it's hard to justify a 
lemon Shampoo/author scene.      

Well, If I didn't, I'm not gin't do put it in first person. That's too 
hard. Well, maybe you'll change your opinion once you see HOW did it.
