Focus: General All Categories, Since: 04-14-15
OC-inserts are a popular category of writing that is both derided as childish and indulgent and beloved by readers and writers alike. While it may be that there are a multitude of badly written stories out there, people forget that there are just as many good ones. Reincarnation, self-insert, world-dropping, even regular OC: you'll find them all here. Mostly to organize my favorite OC stories in one place. |

Butterfly Effect by
GaleSynch reviews
AU: They say a flap of a butterfly's wings can cause a hurricane on the other side of the world. In other words, one small difference can change some major event. Did I believe it? No. I didn't. Not until the day I died. Self-Insert in pre-Riddle era.

Weight of the World by
Tsume Yuki reviews
Naruto Uzumaki is the saviour, the prophecy child. If there is one body you don't want to get shoved into, it's that one. Suddenly female or not. And as the gods would have it, that's exactly where I ended up. In the body of a blonde, whiskered female child with a mountain of expectations pressing down on me. Brilliant. Self Insert.

Walk Two Lifetimes by
Coolio101 reviews
Surviving in the 78th district of South Rukongai was tough. When you were a ten-year-old girl with a baby to take care of, it was even harder. Getting reincarnated as Kuchiki Hisana after dying of cancer was never part of the plan. SI/OC, Pre-Canon

The difference between reality and fantasy by
The Eternal Scribe reviews
Stuck with having a baby as a father and being the opposite gender then I was in my past life, I found that this anime was underestimated and was most definitely not just made of hot guys who could kick ass. Self-insert fic. OC-centric. Eventual slash.
