Robert KingettJust edited a short story where the main character was clearly an author insert but I was experiencing a whole new culture and intersectional story so felt as if everything was fresh, so now I think readers don't know the difference between an author insert and a Mary Sue. Besides, this author insert died at the end after having absolutely nothing go right for him, at all, in the story so, well, I wanted to give the writer a hug because if he thinks this is his future he needs one! <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Editing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Editing</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Editor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Editor</a>
