I'm not a big fan of SI fanfics (personally I think most of them are
poorly done), but just a few weeks ago I got an idea for one. My
question is: in a self-insertion fic, has anyone ever cast themselves
as the bad guy/antagonist, and not as a living power battery/new-and-
most-powerful team member/love interest?

	Aside from all the others posted, I do believe rpM posted a fic once where
he became a GENOM executive and because of his knowledge, orchestrated the
fall of the Knight Sabres only to die because of some other threat, years
later.  Quite interesting, I'd say, although I think he did it to settle an
argument currently going on in the FFML.  You'll have to ask him more about
it, it was probably a year plus ago...

But how about a fanfic where the *avatar* of the writer starts off as a
protagonist, then becomes the antagonist, and then...

	I was toying with that idea for my Full Circle OAV 3 (which would have
taken place in the BGC universe).  And in Endless Nights, the continuation
of Full Circle TV, my Self-Inserted character, was scheduled to die in the
final chapter, suffering slowly from the effects of radiation poisoning he
acquired from the shattered nuclear reactor in the Prologue in of the
story.  Eventually, it all would have lead to a final series based on my SI
character which would have taken place in Crystal Tokyo (can't have an
XOver series without Sailor Moon in it) where my SI character would have
been cloned by the Dark Moon family and turned upon the city only to be
captured, interrogated, and finally executed by Washuu, his wife from Full
Circle TV.  Full Circle OAV would have had similar events minus the ones in
Crystal Tokyo.

	Of course, that was before I decided to give up on my SI works since no
one reads them and I've been type-cast as a bad author because I like to
write them.  I've addressed my anger towards this issue before, I'll not
reiterate.
