First - I can't get the idea of that fic out of my head that you mentioned above *shudders*. That would just weird me out.
Moving on - I like your feelings on self-insertion. If fanfiction were about self-insertion... we'd have a whole heck of a lot more mary sues/gary sues running around.
I like first person but only when the author considers all the information being given. I hate when I'm reading a 1st person and the character seems to know way too much information about things that were happening while they were somewhere else.
Switching from person to person/ 1st to 3rd or whichever in one paragraph makes my head hurt.
