I'm giving it like 12 chapters at most before Captain Jane Captain gets brutally murdered to advance the protagonists character development.

"Once upon a time in a kingdom, there ruled a king who had the exact same morals and political views as me, and everyone loved him and nothing went wrong."

[lukejones]

So much sexual tension in this scene, absolute masterpiece of a book 10/10

[e.keough]

Needs more adjectives. Instead of “he thought” try “he thought flirtatiously”

[journeytotheotherside]

Every main character in a story I wrote for school was an idealized version of myself, the main character of everything I wrote for fun now is a slightly less idealized version of myself

In the next chapter, Jack Detective meets his long lost evil brother, Evil Jack Detective, who has telekinesis and a leather jacket

As a 17 year old who is currently writing on his first novel, this video was very helpful to my self esteem.

[SearaChar]

Never before have I been more offended by something I 100% agree with

[anerrorhasoccurred]

The most accurate part is the terrible attempt at de-Sueifying them.

When I was a kid I used to write myself as the super smart mentor who was “pretty in a normal way” and had flaws like “caring too much about animals” 😭💀

My self-insert dies in every play I’ve ever written. As my therapist says, “There’s something there, but we’re out of time.”

[petar]

Frankly this screenplay is too original, have you considered adding a love triangle?

[sacciuchi]

As a long-armed, long-legged model, it's refreshing to see an accurate depiction of our profession.

[jxomxo]

the haters don't understand, the really thick abs and arms are *very* important to the plot and structure

[Severian]

Masterful use of subtext to show our protag's inner conflict of his use of sorcery and his love of reason. He really is the best detective.

[sebisoymus]

It's good to see the Skillshare writing courses finally paying off in this Carrying Endgame

[genericallyentertaining]

For almost every story I wrote in elementary school, the main character was named after myself. It was just a coincidence, though. Not like it was a purposeful self-insert thing.

[nedved]

Those adverbs are superbly effective, nice and vividly am I picturing this lively interaction between Jack and the long-armed, long-legged model with the face of such a person.

[beatrixwickson]

When he said "reasons" I cried. It's so relatable because I've had times when I've done things too and because I did those things for reasons I feel like it really speaks to my experience.

[TheSongwritingCat]

I appreciate the way these adult characters flirt exactly like awkward teenagers

[evelynstenberg]

When I was 10 I wrote a self-inserted Pokemon story and made it the most badass adventure I could think of. It was peak escapism.
