* An ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' story arc has a thinly veiled AuthorAvatar of Randall Munroe meeting and chilling with the cast of ''{{Series/Firefly}}''.



* ''Webcomic/TalesFromSomewhere'': Morten, the first character in ''The Legend'', was based on a character that the creator played in their ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' group, as explained [[https://www.talesfromsomewhere.com/2019/04/14/10th-anniversary/ in this news post.]] Nandiel and Brem Ghdin are based on characters created by the other players, and chosen because the players based these characters' personalities on themselves.



* ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'': Initially the comic was about the titular fusion of Sonic and Pikachu with an AuthorAvatar as a side character, but very quickly Chris-Chan became the most important character.



* ''Webcomic/MrBoop'': A series in which the AuthorAvatar has married WesternAnimation/BettyBoop. Several other characters from various series also appear.



* [[Music/TomPetty Tom Petty's]] music video "Running Down A Dream" is technically a self-insert into [[ComicStrip/LittleNemo Little Nemo]]. (And a hommage, of course.)
* [[Music/SelfInsert Self Insert]] is a band that uses masks and heavy voice changing effects to make all of their music a kind of self-insert.
