Trust me we appreciate author's that do this. I hate seeing the typed out " y/n". No matter how many recs I get of those, I just can't. I think the trend should die out.
I made this creature/alien girl named Yin who was the culmination of every female Y/N in the entire fanfic multiverse, and she was this weird omnipotent alien god thing that kept being incarnated as different people in different franchises like Doctor Who. Idk I just thought she was cool
Honestly, I write [Y/N]-based stories where the self-insert actually does what everyone wants to happen. Writing down how they’re so done with the characters’ shenanigans.
Fun fact: I took the second Uquiz awhile back, and I got “You’re not Y/N, you’re the character the FF is about…” …Which means that at any moment, Y/N could be waiting for me to let my guard down.
I am, apparently, Karen who’s not like the other girls in the future who lets people walk all over her sometimes. That first and last one feel a little paradoxical.
Apparently I'm the "quirky/not like other girls" y/n. I get it, but I like to think I'm a bit more chill about it. Like, I don't wear much makeup, and I tend to become better friends with guys than girls, but I don't see those as personality traits. Plus, sometimes I like to dress up in something more feminine. And most importantly, I don't hate on the "other girls." Unless they're actual bullies.
I think author-insert is way more interesting than Y/N, but I see it WAY less often. Like Y/N or xreader is trying to predict or guess stuff about the reader, and trying to be as broadly applicable as possible, which is bound to either fail and not feel relatable to the reader, feel extremely bland and generic, or often both. Whereas author-insert can get really specific and interesting about the character, because they're only trying to be one person, and being the author themselves they're a real person the author likely knows better than anyone else. It's like you get a little window into the author's private fantasies, and if done well, can also explore how they would respond to the fictional world around them. I'd rather read a personal expression of yourself in a fictional world than you trying to guess what I would do any day.
Karen y/n - Guess I'm supposed to be on some mystic quest to find the manager? Could be pretty funny if it's something like going after a legitimately tyrannical ruler for the pettiest of reasons. Hard to get - It doesn't know I'm a mess underneath the surface. Medieval Times - I guess it would be ok if they use magic in place of modern tech. y/n y/l/n from the ceo!yoongiverse! - ...
"can i just mix (white, milk, dark chocolate) together?" baby girl, white chocolate is all cocoa butter, dark chocolate is all cocoa, and milk chocolate is both. you are just making a larger lump of milk chocolate
I got you're not y/n, you're the character. And honestly I think that's the biggest compliment I could have possibly received from any of these quizzes
1. Sad y/n 2. Unpopular nerd 3. The switch 4. Y/n y/l/n from the roommate taehyungiverse (idk how to spell it lol) Very fun! The answers gagged me as usual and are pretty much accurate! ☺️
I've never really gotten into writing y/n fics, but I've read quite a few that were surprisingly good. I prefer to write my fanfics like novels, either from third person perspective or in first person pov but in paste tense. It makes it feel more like it's an actual novel in my humble opinion. But I enjoy all kinds of writing styles, and I know I speak for everyone at AO3 when I say we love stories of all kinds and we welcome them to the site, so keep on doing you in whatever Fandom you enjoy ❤
1. quirky.. i'm not like other girls...(cause I chose to dress comfortably) 2. stupid y/n(not romancing anyone, anything) 3. The Switch(teleported into a story) 4. you are y/n y/l/n from the librarian!jooniverse!
My results: 1. Stupid y/n 2. Quirky…I’m not like other girls… 3. Medival Times y/n 4. Y/n from the ceo!yoongiverse! (This one pretty much describes how I am irl)
1. horny Y/N (rude but true) 2. unpopular nerd (RUDE but TRUE) 3. back in time (i guess) 4. Librarian!jooniverse (i'm not even into bts so i got jumpscared lol)
Due to being ace aro and having no desire to realistically be in a relationship as myself with any of my favorite characters, I mostly use yn fics and insert my ocs into them instead. It’s my favorite hobby tbh
Coley, i actually got 'In Fandom' for the third one, its pretty sweet! Basically saying "you like escapism, you like using it as a getaway, and you deserve having good things and good head, if you want it" basically
It's not quite y/n, but I'd love to hear your thought on SilverQueen's Dreaming of Sunshine - I wasn't reading it when it was coming out, but considering the amount of following and aus the fic inspired, it really did something for the acceptance and reputation for self-insert fics. Anyway, please remember to drink water
Honestly I just want some monstrously powerful being like a Dragon(though realistically any nonster could have that level of strength that acts as a comfort and that they'ed keep me safe) to Cherish me like I'm their Treasure whilst also being absolutely feral in bed
I’ve taken so many quizzes: 1. Hard to Get Y/N: Emotionless and cold but everyone loves me anyways! 2. Sheldon Y/N but if he was more polite… 3. Lone Wolf Y/N? 4. In Fandom Y/N, this is more fun for me!
1) uwu y/n 2) Quirky (Not like other girls) 3) The Switch (Got ABO on the second try for some reason??) 4) ‘you are min hwayoung from the ceo!yoongiverse!’ (Basically reincarnated as a baby from what I understand.)
I got uwu y/n in the first quiz, the character the fanfic is about in the second, in fandom in the third, and y/n l/n from the mechanic!yoongiverse in the fourth. Honestly, though, I can’t really read y/n fic because I have a hard time inserting myself into a story. I feel like I don’t contribute anything to the narrative of the fictional world-its story is already told with the characters it has, and I’m not an authentic part of the setting. The only way I can make y/n work is if it’s about a video game with a customizable protagonist, so I can insert my character who has a lot of me in her instead of my actual self. I don’t fit into the world of Baldur’s Gate III, but Adultery the tiefling ranger does, so I can romance Gale through her.
1. sad y/n (that tracks) 2. unpopular nerd (okay rude) 3. In Fandom (i actually love this result) 4. you are y/n y/l/n from the ceo!yoongiverse! (This one was too relatable tbh) I don't even read y/n. 😂
i also got the librarian!jooniverse result and the way half of that describes my personality to a t and the other half is nowhere near is really funny to me
I went from reading mostly self-insert fics to never reading oc, self-insert, or Y/N fics to reading them just whenever it sounds good. The no social media to child on social media to adult on social media timeline.
i got Sad y/n, ✨quirky✨y/n, Medieval Times, and y/n from the android!yoongiverse. i guess i'm quirky and depressed from a futuristic-medieval times crossover
After joining the dca fandom it's very strange to see y/n stereotypes and what is commonly associated w those fics when in that fandom y/ns get SO CLOSE to being their own ocs sometimes that people can heavily project onto Not always the case but still. There are some BOMB ASS FICS in that fandom lotsa good writers
Ok, so I got: 1) stupid y/n 2) depreshun.. 3) Medieval Times 4) y/n l/n from ceo!yoongiverse I honestly laughed so hard and they were so much fun to do. 😂 Thanks for suggesting these, Coley!
Whenever i read y/n fics, it's usually because whatever fandom I'm interested in has precious little content so i make do lol. I've named all the y/n characters i read JoAnn and it makes things a lot more enjoyable lol
I took all four in a row and in order I got 'uwu - the boring character' 'depreshun' 'medieval times' and 'ballet!jiminverse! - you want to be the best person you can be, and you feel like you should be accomplishing way more than you are, and can be overly hard on yourself because of that' sums up that last one. I feel called out.
A bit self-insert, sometimes a baddie, sometimes a completely unhinged character. There's never just one thing. It's always a bit all over the place, but it's fun to write and sometimes look back on. LOL Though, I never publish any of that stuff. I just write it down with pen and paper and store it in the hidden depths of hell and away from prying eyes.
Bro I took the quizzes and twice I got the depression y/n, once I got the switch (a victim of transmigration), and then I got the “very sweet. And by that I mean a little dumb” y/n. What on earth
Just took one of those quizzes and apparently, I'm a girlboss y/n. As a 26-year-old man, I will wear that badge with pride.

Queen
Jester
Duke
countess
I'm the writer who cheats and uses the bland, blank slate protagonist to project myself into the story without technically using a y/n or OC
But in order I got uwu y/n, depreshun..... , The Switch, and also the Jooniverse funnily enough
@@writingdork3951I was definitely the uwu y/n when I was 12 I’m ngl
