Mostly written in the 1990s, ''The Bubblegum Zone'' is a classic of the self-insert genre filled with high-action, advanced technology, a plethora of pop-culture references and great drama. The beginning can be a little iffy at times, as Bert can come off as a GaryStu, but the story [[GrowingTheBeard really kicks into gear]] past the halfway point, especially once it passes the original [[OriginalVideoAnimation [=OVAs=]]]. Many fans regard this series as one of their favorite pieces of fan fiction and it has been greatly influential to the growth of the genre, to the point where many self-insertion or Bubblegum Crisis stories written afterwards feature explicit shout-outs to or crossovers with the Zone.
