For people who make reader insert content (specifically female reader content), ADD A FEMALE/ MALE READER TAG. I get so disappointed when I find a good self insert fanfic when half way into reading I get misgendered. I’m a trans dude and when I’m reading a nice fluffy fanfic that I think is rlly cute and I get hit with smth like, “ You’re a really pretty girl! ” I just sit there stoned face after getting slapped with a pot full of dysphoria 🐇

Imma need to take a bite of this man

Let's say it.

Writing a "x reader" and then adding a description on the appearence of the reader is doing the opposite of what you wanna do.

I'm precisely talking about ghost x reader fics, male, gn or female almost everyone does that.

If you want to do it, there's no problem but at least specify it somewhere. If it's because, you yourself, look like this, then specify it's a self-insert.

I personally think adding description cuts the vibe of the fic but also does not respect "reader's rule".

It does concern when you add about the skin color, the color of your lips, cheeks, all those kinds of things. It can be hard to take it out of your vocabulary as i myself made those mistakes before, but for sure it just does not include poc people, which is not fair for them let's be honest.

Besides that, the reader is supposed to be inclusive but also neutral. Not talking about gender (you should still specify it!), but about the appearance.

It is quite unnerving and displeasant when you've been reading the fic since a moment then you get hit by the "woman with a curve" or the "you were a bulky man".

It feels like, when you're reading a story, you're in the middle of it and suddenly they describe their main character's appearance. It quickly ruins the vibe of the story.

Don’t get me wrong he’s gorgeous in every scene he’s in, but this scene he just looks beyond gorgeous, his hair looks extra floofy and textured, he’s got a bit of a coy, shy flirtatious vibe going on?? HONEY his waist is snatched in those jeans with just his hellfire shirt and no jacket covering him, his big brown puppy eyes bore deep into my soul and I just simply CANNOT. This scene is the reason for my obsession honestly.
