ML>   Okay, C&C on two fics dealing with self-insertion. Note that this is
ML>C&C, not a debate on the merits of OtakuFics. No flame wars, okay? Play
ML>nice.

ML>Peter's Journey - This was billed as a parody of the Self-insertion fic.
ML>It delivered. PJ contains some _very_ well-aimed, slightly bitter thrusts
ML>at some of the more obnoxious features of the genre, complete with
ML>ommipotent and thoroughly unlikable hero. From the use of Kuno as intial
ML>punching bag, to the need to "Teach people something about themselves"
ML>that most OtakuFic heros seem to have, the story doesn't miss much.
ML>   Indeed, that was my main problem with it. It was just too long. Clever
Well, I did that on purpose.  See, look how long some of the
Self-insertion fics are:  Mis adventures, Crys Saga, Chinese Samouri,
ect.  They were pretty long I might add.  No way you can read those in
one sitting.  I tried to parody the lenght of these type of fanfics too.
But it does seem a little long; however, I won't change it... too much
hassal for me.  In fact, I was going to make it longer.
