How do you avoid writing wish fulfillment fantasies?

By taking every possible chance to fuck over your characters

>Jimmy finally got Jenny to go out with him
>Jenny blew him off and got hit by a truck

Also don't project onto your main character because people will notice and start bitching about you self-inserting

Give the character a good bit of hardship and a few serious problems on the way to the happy ending. Then accept a lot of people will cry about it.

Everything written is wish fulfilment, just like how people play video games for a power fantasy. There are no exceptions.

Only avatars of autism write wish fulfillment fantasies. Stop being autism.

i tried this once. i went all book of Job on my character; abducted his wife and daughter in the first three pages, burned his house down, burned down the place where he worked and i kept killing off people who tried to help.

fucker refused to lose his mind. it was annoying.

Happy characters who always win are the worst. I wrote one and I made his main conflict of my focus on his about shame of wanting to fuck his best friends avatar in a game. He saw a girl that looked like her in real life, and since he's confident as fuck he just kind of waved it away.

Good thing I only spent on chapter on that asshole and got back to the lunatics.
