self-insert

Definition

A fanfiction or creative work where the reader (or author) is written directly into the story as a character, typically in second-person perspective. It's the literary equivalent of daydreaming where you're the main character in someone else's universe.

Example Usage

I found this hilarious self-insert where a fan character joins the Avengers and it's wonderfully cringe.
