IF👏🏻YOU👏🏻GIVE👏🏻THE👏🏻 CHARACTER 👏🏻A👏🏻NAME👏🏻 IT'S 👏🏻NOT👏🏻AN👏🏻X 👏🏻READER👏🏻FIC.

But seriously if you are writing a fic and give the s/o character a name, it defeats the purpose of an x reader. I don't care if it's oc x character story, have fun enjoy but for the love of God don't tag it as x reader please. I get wanting more people to see your stories but it's irritating to click on a fic that is tagged x reader and get two paragraphs in and the 'reader' has a name. You don't see honest to go x reader writers tagging their stuff x oc, so why are you doing it.

And don't come at me saying 'well there's extensions you can use to switch out the names' or 'if you don't like it don't read it' , because one I don't read it if I know from the start it's not truly an x reader and second not everyone uses a computer to read. I use my phone to read and there ain't no extensions for the app that do anything like that.

If you really want to post your OC fic in the x reader tag it's not hard to use Google docs to search out every mention of your OC's name and replace it with y/n.

Just for the love of God stop cross tagging oc fics with x reader it's annoying and bogs down the tags making it harder to find the real x reader fics that people work just as hard on.
