My opinion on self inserts can be summed up in one emoticon:
I hate self inserts. I'm sorry, I truly do. In my experiences, their only purpose serves to have the author get together with their favourite character.
So yeah. Not to fond of them.

My jaw just dropped. I have no words to describe this any other ay than: why?
I guess that Shinji is still repenting for his "lamest protagonist ever" image forever ingrained to this character, but Asuka... i don't even... How...

Characterization, we will miss you. Rest in peace.

In context of the story, I kind of liked it: it wasn't really so much about character growth as saying, "Here are these characters. This is what they have come to." It was interesting seeing this take on a post-Eva world. I would have liked to see it stretched out a bit more, but I don't know where that would have gone or how: it served well as a short-story.
Out of curiosity, where do you think it should have gone from there? (not a challenge, a genuine question...I like to see what everybody else gets out of good fics.)

Well at least I see that when I do write my Eva fanfic, it will definitely be top of the class.
Also mandatory what the fuck did that bastard do to my Asuka!?
