Heh. Varzan, I disagree (with you too, I suppose, Live). Please do not generalize everyone's works into the same group. Though you are mostly correct (isn't wish-fulfillment kind of what fanfiction is for?), there are some of us out there who simply want to take advantage of the incredible world Monty Oum has created to make their own stories. Also, not all OCs are built to be self-inserts. None of my own OCs are, after all (except for one whom I will never write into anything other than my own original work as a narrator).

Yes, most RWBY OC fanfictions are self-inserts by hormonal kids who want to get it on with people who would be WAAY out of their league/age range IRL. Yeah, most of the rest are Yuri (what do you expect with 4 female MCs? Seriously?). However, that does not mean that they ALL are. Perhaps, if I can write what I am trying to the way I want to, I might convince you that not everyone falls into the same bucket, but that may be a ways away.

TL/DR? Anyway, the point I was trying to reach before I started rambling... Don't overgeneralize by saying "all" of something are "like x." Really, please don't, it's insulting, even if it is 90% true. Say "most" if you will, but not "all."
