I just got through A Day for Brothers and Something. Something was pretty decent (the Beatles fan in me has to appreciate it), but Derek himself didn't add much to the story. A Day for Brothers had the same problem; Derek just isn't that interesting of a character, at least to me.

That's the problem I have with self-inserts, really. They rarely show much personality beyond being generically nice and friendly. Good characters have to have flaws and quirks in order to be compelling.
