“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”

do fic commenters know how Important and Powerful they are. like when someone tells u they actually laughed out loud or cried or screamed or buried their face in their pillow or something and ur just like.....i've done it....i have elicited a Physical Manifestation of Emotion....tf....i feel so powerful....

or when they tell you they stayed up late or read it at work or school when they weren't supposed to and you don't wanna encourage that but also......yeeEEEHAW

or when u get regular commenters on a wip and ur like brO bro??? you're still here? after all this time? even after i didn’t update for months?? 🥺

or when someone says it's their favorite fic and u just gotta lie in the floor and Emote for a while

or when they say the characters feel in character and u just disintegrate into glitter and blow away in the wind bc your purpose as a fic writer has been fulfilled,,,

yeah

Important!

ways writers can be inclusive 101

“my cheeks turned pink in embarrassment” → “my cheeks heated in embarrassment”

“his hand ran through my hair” → “his hand ran over my head/hair”

“her bright pink pussy” → literally anything else

stop using mood boards of only white couples/children (heavy on this one)

using children names like eveleigh ann (do i need to explain..)

her hair was put in a messy bun/her long silky hair…

Respectfully, I know it’s just fanfiction, but if you’re going to write reader insert fics then do the bare minimum of making sure it’s actually inclusive and not white coded. Many of us shouldn’t read an x reader fic and imagine a white woman every single time. Stop taking criticism from bipocs, saying your writing is not inclusive, as hate. Let go of the mindset that having a bipoc in your writing means they have to go through some racial struggle or you must talk about their culture (a lot of bipocs don’t know their culture/where they came from). It shouldn’t make you uncomfortable to write them in your stories, we’re normal people too. If it does maybe a reflection is meant to be had. Like i said, it’s just fanfiction and it’s supposed to be fun, but some of y’all are purposefully exclusive and still tag your writing wrong.

And if you can’t handle it, tag ur fic as an oc or white!reader. Because it’s not right for writers to attack people asking for inclusivity and playing victim bc they know they can.
