#anyways if you're not using interactive fics anon- i def suggest it- because it's saved me many mental plunders bhebhabh

Have you ever read a fic that it’s really good and all but then it starts to describe the “reader” in a way it’s just changes the way you feel about the fic ex: height, weight, age, nationality, eye color, skin tone, hair or language. And n Top of that they give the “reader” a name but before you found that out they had on the # “____ x reader” or “_____ x you” like why you lie why did you add that when you will give a name to the supposed “reader”. It’s kind of annoying tbh because it was good but after that o don’t have the desire to continue reading.

Yes I have so many times 😭😭 It changes the way I was thinking it was all going and how I feel about it-

Most of the time I can handle height, language the reader speaks, and age changes- but if they're introduced late or I'm not told beforehand- it makes me want to scream- :) And it just rips me out of my imaginative movie dreamland- 😭 But the name one- is the worst- I have total respect for people who write "*named* reader x so-so" and specify that they're named- and I can happily avoid those- but the lying- absolutely gets me every time.

I hate that sm- it's happened to me too many times- It is kind of annoying- Like it ruins the "escape" and puts me back into reality- I never have the desire to continue reading either. Sometimes if I'm close to the end I'll just use my little extension *interactivefics* and put the nickname or wtv into the *need to replace sth other than Y/n* bit- just so I can continue reading tbh... (but even then, it kind of ruins the feeling y'know?)

I totally understand that some people want their fics to reach more audiences and using a named reader can limit that- but that's the point. If you're writing a named reader imo you should state that- and the right audiences that want that will read it- But I'm not that audience-

And for me personally- if I know one of my fics describes sth- I try to change it or mention it in the author note!! Because ik how it feels not to know prior! (Also if you ever catch that I didn't pls lmk and I'll have that fixed 🥰)
