Do my concerns about reaching self-insert Sue territory make any kind of sense, though? Whether or not I've got reason to be concerned is quite another question. I mean, I'm *not* a wealthy young Frenchwoman with a twin sister and a blossoming acting career (to say nothing of the fully functioning eyeballs), but as far as certain aspects of personality go, there's no small amount of me in Émilie as I write her. There are parts of her, quirks and mental processes and ways of doing things, that match me. Does that tell? If it tells, does it detract from stories a la badfic inserts, or add to them? ... Ah frak.
