Hmmm... that sounds as though it's original characters that are the problem, rather than self-inserts per se. I know personally I read fic for the regular characters - it takes an exceptional writer to get me interested in their original characters. (Although by "self-insert" I don't just mean a literal guest-starring role for the actual author, with name and background unchanged!)
