hey wanted to send a message out. I recently got a comment on my Joe Goldberg x reader fanfic and wanted to address it. This commenter said "this x reader is clearly made for white people." Truly wanted to unpack that because this is new to me and something true to me. First off I want to state that I myself am a black woman- I'd never write with the intention of just catering to one race. It actually kinda hurt that I could make a reader feel like this. My intentions are to make this story as inclusive as possible. Characters like Aaron, Joseph, Elijah, Sevyn, Maria. I'm trying to include people who are differently abled, LGBTQIA+, Black, Single mothers so on and so forth and I plan on adding more and more inclusivity in this story. I'm sorry to those who started this story and may have exited because they couldn't see themselves in the x reader. This is my first story I've ever written and as I learn to write and use better words, transitions, real life situations- please allow me to grow. Rude comments definitely aren't needed and advice or critiques are always welcome. I felt like I needed to address this and say I feel like it's impossible to make every single person that reads this feel like it is truly them. I am trying. Thank you to those, though who are enjoying the book.
