Matt Nute's Self-Insertion Challenge:
Write yourself into a fanfic where you interact with your favorite character.
The Conditions:
- You need not be a superhero/mutant/whatever.

- Don't have the story just involve the two of you. Use other elements of your character's world, or
your own, or both.

death, bad death, meaningful death, pointless death, it's up to you. But kill'em dead. No
backsies. No resurrections, no clones, no imaginary tales, NO DREAMS. |
