The very first issue of X Reader Magazine will launch soon! If you'd like to be apart of this labor of love, please reach out—we'd love to have you! Stay tuned for more updates :)
It's CRAZY that the first post about XRM i made was almost two months ago!!
So to honor the first line, I'll tell a short story of how this idea came to me! (More under cut)
It was March 25th, 2026, at some point in the hideously early hours of the morning. Birds were probably beginning to chirp, everything was quiet, and ya girl (yours truly) was sprawled over her bed like a dead body.
In my subconscious dreamland, though, I was in a conference type board meeting with none other than every character Finn Wolfhard had ever played along with Finn himself---in other words, the Finnverse. Quite literally, I was carrying a briefcase and wearing a suit, and inside was a draft of the next issue of a magazine. Richie was loudly telling some dumbass joke, Mike was giving him a disgusted look, and all of the other Finnlings were also surprisingly in character! (maybe my subconscious is a better writer than i am :( )
Suddenly, the point of view morphs into the perspective of a different Me (byebye finnlings 😞), and I'm stepping outside--a rare occasion--to check my front porch, and guess what? The new issue of XRM has arrived! Printed on vintage newspaper and tied together with twine, it's got all sorts of fics, articles, and other fun stuff in it. I can't wait to read this month's issue---
And then I woke up.
And the first thing I feel is mad because I didn't get to talk to the Finnlings OR read the magazine.
And then, finally, the cogs in my head started to turn...
And I realized: that's...an...idea!
So, making as much haste as my body would let me in that moment, I scrambled to my desk to jot down with a dying pen on some heavily used paper three simple words that I'm sure you can guess:
X Reader Magazine. (Except I wrote it in all caps with about ten exclamation marks in a very messy scrawl)
The next morning, however, I kind of thought it was a bum idea. After all, there are already fic rec lists, articles on fanfiction, and masterlists. Wouldn't this just be a glorified fic rec?
Still, I got up the next day (after a lot of thinking) and messaged my mutual (and best-friend-spouse) @0nlybitt3r4may about the idea. And to my surprise, she offered me a lot of support and encouragement! And thus, XRM was born. And we hope to see you when it launches! Love you all :)

P.S. if you'd like to contribute, we have a confessions form... 👀
Hey everyone! So, me and a couple of my mutuals (@0nlybitt3r4may and @teacup-thoughts so far) are starting an online newsletter called 'X Reader Magazine'! Some of you may have already heard of it from this post I made a little while back, but the basic breakdown is this:
˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀⏝It's a free online newsletter for the X Reader Fanfiction community, formatted like a conventional magazine with short and long articles, fanart instead of photos, and essays on fanfic related topics!
˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀⏝We will be featuring authors and their oneshots/fic parts/headcanons/blurbs, with full credit under their respective works AND on the first page after the cover.
˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀⏝There will be different themes for each issue; for example, our first one will be Stranger Things themed, with our main character pairings being Mike Wheeler, Steve Harrington, Eddie Munson and Henry Creel!
˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀⏝This whole thing is still very much in development, and we are currently compiling fics, working on the magazine itself, and reaching out to authors about featuring their work!
If you'd like to be apart of this, have any questions or comments, or would like more information, please don't hesitate to reach out! We have a Discord community for the authors, team, and (potential or future) readers, and you can also DM me on Tumblr or Discord! (dontmentionitseriouslyy_47381 on Discord :) )
