I joined, not for the fanfictions, but just to write stories. Which has gone terribly, and I'm not updating anything. I said I wasn't here for the fanfictions, like reading them. I also said that I wasn't gonna write one either. Which was a lie. My first book is literally a fan fiction. I'm stupid.
Also I used to love reading fanfictions on here...
And..
Q u o t e v . . .
Annnnywayss, let's not get distracted by our cringey selves. I used to love reading fanfictions on here, but most of them had problems.
1: Yanderes, Cheating, and "triggering topics" (Rape, self harm, suicide, etc)
I
HATE
When people romanticize rape, self harm, depression and suicidal thoughts. It's not sexy, it's a topic that shouldn't be romanticized in any way, and people struggle with these.
Cheating.
It's stupid. If you come here for a certain X reader, you want to be with that character, and that character only, eh? BUT NOOO Y/N OR THE CHARACTER YOU CAME HERE FOR IS CHEATING
Apparently Yanderes are supposed to be "sexy". But no. Murder. Is. Not. Attractive.
Imagine coming home from work, and seeing that your partner has been arrested, and that your best friend was killed. It would be devastating.
2.
The sex slave self insert.
Not only is this illegal, it's probably pedophilic, too.
Every time I read one of these,
"15 YEAR OLD PRETTY SKINNY GIRL WITH 5 OTHER OLDER MENN WHAT DRAMA WILL HAPPEN NEXTRTRT RAWR XDDDDD"
I hate these with a passion, and it's clear why I do.
3. Shipping real people together, or (real person) x reader. (I mean youtubers, celebrities,, yeah.)
I think it's just weird that people ship themselves with real people. (That are probably way older,,,)
They can be unrealistic, and those people actually read them, and it gets awkward.
