Okay, I’m probably going to be a bit controversial here. Yet, I’m asking you to hear us out, please. Fanfic writers, specifically those who write “x Reader” fics, please read this. My dear friend Jack has already made a post, where I and others have contributed our experiences and feelings towards certain issues with these fics. Those issues still prevail and therefore I’ve decided to make my own post, which is more of a PSA, I think. Anyway. You can and should read Jack’s (@mlmxreader) post here, please. It is long, yes, but it is extremely important and will say a lot of things we will not talk about here again. Now, what this is mostly about is the tagging of those fics. Every single time, we (men and non-binary people) come across Reader fics and they’re tagged with just “Reader”, so, naturally we assume they’ll be gender neutral then. Well, they basically never fucking are. Every time, in the first few sentences or in later paragraphs something like “baby girl, girlfriend, wife, she/her” will come up and it is frustrating, can be triggering (for trans people, like myself, especially because it can cause dysphoria), and is honestly just very excluding and rude. By doing that, you show us that you do not consider anyone but women to read those fics. Even though that isn’t the case. Men who like men exist and we read fics. And we want to be able to read some that don’t make us feel bad or excluded. We’re not asking you to suddenly write Male!Reader fics. We’re asking you to tag properly. If your reader is female, tag it as “Female!Reader” or “Fem!Reader”. It doesn’t take more than two seconds to do that. So, please for the love of everything good, take those two seconds and type in that one word, even the abbreviation is enough. But tag it! Please! Also, please, stop tagging “male reader” or “gender neutral reader” when it’s a female reader. You won’t get more notes from it. All it does is clog the tags and push down fics that are actually targeted towards those groups. So, don’t do that, please, thank you. One thing I personally wanted to ask actually. Why do women read “Male!Reader” fics? This is a genuine question. Why do you, if you’re a woman, read those fics? They aren’t targeted at you, and frankly, I don’t understand it. If I were cis and not dysphoric, I still wouldn’t read “Fem!Reader” fics. They aren’t for me, and I wouldn’t be interested in it, even if those were the only fics for a certain character. So, if anyone could answer me this, genuinely, then I’d actually appreciate that a lot, I’m truly just curious, as I have noticed women reading my “Male!Reader” fics, too. Which is cool, as we’ve said, you may interact, as long as you’re not creepy or fetishistic, but I still don’t understand why you would read that in the first place. Now, onto what my two wonderful friends have said, when I asked them if they had anything to add to this issue, or perhaps overall, still: @iscariot-rising said, “It’s just disrespectful for writers and readers alike to assume that everyone reading their fanfics is inherently female, to the point where for some it has become the standard that any fic has female reader - leading to writers not tagging their fics as female readers or mentioning in their descriptions that reader is female, instead only titeling it as “character x reader”, before then three sentences in referring to reader as some sort of female term. This isn’t just rude, it can also be triggering for people or make them dysphoric, if not just plain uncomfortable. Fandom spaces are something that is shared across all genders and sexualities and it is only courteous to respect this and tag your fics accordingly, since it doesn’t take a long time and saves a lot of trouble for readers.“ And you know what? He is absolutely right and he should say it. You need to listen to us, please. @mlmxreader said a lot, too. For example, he’s mentioned that there is a reluctance to even write Gender Neutral Reader fics, which is true. Even though it would be much easier, to be perfectly honest. Yet, people seem not to do it. Do y'all not want people of different genders to enjoy your fics without feeling excluded? He also said, “oh! yeah! there’s also the whole thing about lingerie, too, like putting men in women’s lingerie and talkin about panties and stuff, which comes off as extremely fetishising (when it’s not written by mlm) as well as just… really gross bc like that stuff can trigger dysphoria and half the time it’s not even tagged? Like it wouldn’t be so bad if y'all tagged it; on top of that, there’s also the whole fact that they assume that all mlm relationships revolve around sex and that that’s all that matters. But then also using (m/n) standing for “male name” instead of (y/n), like, what the FUCK is up with that?? /gen” Again, he is absolutely right. Tag your shit, please. I know it can be tiring to pick out everything relevant, but trust me; you’ll do a lot of people a big fucking favour when you tag your stuff properly. And frankly, I agree with him. I don’t understand the whole ’(m/n)’ thing because if we’re men, our names are automatically male because, well, we’re male. It doesn’t really make sense. That might just be a thing that personally bugs us, though, I honestly don’t know. TLDR; Tag your fics properly, be respectful, don’t assume everyone is female and therefore exclude everyone who isn’t, just say (y/n)???, and yeah, that’s basically it. Just be more considerate, please! That was it. I don’t mean to personally attack anybody, but if you do feel attacked, that probably means that you’re guilty of doing something I’ve listed here, and perhaps should consider changing that. I also wanna note that if you consider sending me threats or hate of any kind, I will delete it and not engage with it. If your first response to this post is something rude and hateful, you should take a step back and reconsider why you’re about to do something so senseless. Does it help you in any way? No, it doesn’t. So, what’s the point, other than acting like a complete dick? Anyway, have a lovely morning/day/night; cheers!
Why do people stop commenting on fics if they’re more than a week or two old? Please comment on old fics. Tell me you like my one shot from 2014. Tell me you like my old multi-chap I finished in 2016 that I spent a year writing. I will be fucking thrilled.
