One thing I've realized about writing reader-insert fics is that you can't please everyone. It's a unique dilemma with this genre and while I personally try my best to be as vague about most things as possible, my, and quite frankly, no one's interpretation of the character of "Y/N" will never be fully accurate to everybody.

Back in my Wattpad days, I used to get kind of annoyed at some of the comments when they would point out how the way I described certain aspects of the reader wasn't at all like they were. I'm not talking about things related to appearance, I've always tried to keep that as neutral as possible, but more about personality things.

Say, I describe the reader as someone who doesn't know a lot about classical music, and a commenter would claim say something like "Well actually, my major is in music" or something of the sort. I'm not saying that's the commenter's fault, but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't feel a certain way about them. Granted I was a lot younger back then, so that was definitely a factor. It might be silly, but it made me feel like my work was being undermined or not taken as seriously as I may have hoped.

I was never a huge fan of the middle chapter comments on Wattpad anyway, but that's unrelated.

Nowadays, I try to keep things vague, which affects the story somewhat as you can't add certain depth that a unique personality could offer. It's impossible to cater to everybody, so I can only hope that the way I write the reader will resonate with most.

Of course, I'm not claiming that the reader cannot be written with a pre-determined personality in mind, those are a completely valid option.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that we try our best. And yes, even I make a note of a character trait that does not at all describe me, but I don't blame the author for using generalized and almost stereotypical features to describe the reader. That's just the easiest way to please everyone.

And frankly, I think that as authors we SHOULD do our best to be as inclusive as possible, in general, so no one feels left out.

It's a bit difficult, and like I said, only really an issue when writing this trope.

Anyway, hope that gave some new insights on this topic, I didn't really know what I wanted to say exactly, the words just came out lol. Feel free to share your thoughts!

Okay so I'm playing Dark Urge route and trying to romance Halsin (hence the brainrot lol) and I wanna ask you guys something.

Do you guys think romanced Halsin would kill Dark Urge!Tav in a 'kill me if I lose control, I don't want to hurt anyone' -situation?

I've been pondering over this for a bit now and just wanted to see what y'all think 🤔🤔

Anyway this might also be a fic inspo, so keep your eyes open for that 👀

[ymiwritesstuff]

Alright alright it's Kiryu's turn!! You guys can expect a Kiryu fic in the near future heheheh.

I love this man so much :') ❤️

Alright, next fic will be for Majima once again.

AND to give you a little sneak peek, here are some key words 👀:

Hostess, backstage, lipstick, close proximity.

If it's too vague, don't worry, you just have to wait and see when the fic is posted hehehehe
