Effie was SUCH a wonderful final guest for what I'm dubbing The Flourish Era of Fansplaining. 😭 You'll note the 9,000 things I listed in the blurb—self-inserts really do connect to such a huge range of fannish (and more broadly affective) behaviors and interests, and I can't wait to follow Effie's work on this stuff in the coming years.

(Also definitely recommend clicking through to the show notes to watch those TikToks....wild to compare what young fan creators are doing today, publicly with their own faces, vs Back In My Day lol)

Episode 221: Self-Inserts

On Episode 221, “Self-Inserts,” Elizabeth and Flourish welcome fan studies scholar Effie Sapuridis to talk about the wide world of self-inserts, including Y/N and x reader fic, imagines, shifting, and classic Mary Sues. Topics discussed include differences between platforms, including AO3, Wattpad, Tumblr, and especially TikTok; ties to things like roleplaying, LARPing, and theme parks; and whether self-insert forms are leading us towards a future of ~personalized AI storytelling~. Plus: they talk about why there’s so little academic work on self-inserts, and the ethical issues around continuing to study the Harry Potter fandom.
