Okay, this is completely stupid and insipid, but I have to know. Why is
it that all the SI fics that I have ever seen only involve men?
Twister, SkyKnight, God-Boy, Brett, Ed, and that's just off the top of
my head. (I'm not counting 'Gaijin in Nerima'... Too silly!) All of
these are men (more or less ^_-). So why don't women write their own
wish-fulfilling SI fics? Or are they out there, but I never see them?

Hmmm... Ratbat's "Narrabunda 1/2" and "Whovian Nation" come to mind ( Hi
Ratti! ^_^ ). I don't know how SI they are (Ratbat is "naturally" male, yet
feels as if he's onna; gotta check WN again), but they've certainly got all
the "signs" of #includefics.
I *could* possibly write an SI-fic within a female persona; it's just that
Preslina doesn't have that...*ring* to it. Maybe if I changed my name. ^_^
Well, Hitomi-chan did something along those lines with her "Alternate
History of Sailor Moon Exile", which was a takeoff of my own "Wyrm: Sailor
Moon Exile" story (plug!). She turned my avitar quite permanently female
(as well as giving the unfortunate Time Lady a big case of Who-Am-I). Donno
if that really counts, though...
Come to think of it, Hitomi-chan also created another series (ferget the
name) where she includes someone who stinketh of self-insertion!
